Adam,

I find it pretty funny how you refer to the Lakers as the dying-sty when the Kings have never won shit.

I can take my lumps from a Spurs fan about the fact they are kicking LA's ass, but exactly what stripes have the Kings earned for you to talk smack about a dynasty to the Lakers? LA knocked them out of the playoffs three straight years for christ sake.

Go ahead, blame the refs like I expect you will do.

Just checking in to say my team is sucking big time. Pitiful exhibition thus far.

I've been a Laker fan since I started watching basketball when I was real young.

This is a defeated Lakers team. I said before this game began that LA was in big trouble to a couple of my friends and my prediction held true.

Robert Horry, while he has hit big shots, is completely worthless during these playoffs. He gets manhandeled by Duncan, is afraid to take his trademark 3's, and just makes stupid stupid decisions.

Bowen is doing an incredible job on Kobe (best I've ever seen) and besides Shaq, no players want to step up.

Brian Shaw should not be starting. Rush should be. Shaw just brings nothing to the table besides an occasional 3.

Cody is right. The GM and the owner are the reasons that the Lakers won't repeat again this year. The last three years, the Lakers have been lucky not to have been bitten by the injury bug during the playoffs, but this year is different and the lack of talent outside Shaq and Kobe is really glaring.

If they do lose this series, hopefully the only good thing that comes out of it is it lights a match under the front offices ass. There are some good power forwards available in FA this year. (Juwan Howard, PJ Brown, Karl Malone). I'm pretty certain that LA can lure one of those guys there for the mid-level exception.

You will see what the Lakers character is made out of on Friday night. Their character has been tested, but never like this in the last three years. The Spurs have beaten them at every aspect of the game.

If Bowen keeps playing the way he has, and Manu makes all the hustle plays and contributes 10-15 points a night I really don't see how the Lakers stand a chance. As a LA fan, that's a humbling statement to make.

The fact that they had 10 combined assists tonight and 11 the other night tells me how much Shaq and Kobe really don't trust the other 3 jerkoffs on the court with them.

I'm a diehard fan, I'm just willing to accept the truth. The Spurs have the better team this year.

Good outlook on this. Nothing worse than someone who refuses to admit every once in a while there is a team better than they support. Usually it is the refs. I salute you.

AJKCFAN · 05-07-2003, 11:48 PM

No... won't be blaming the refs. Believe me, it HURTS real bad that the Dying-sty may not make it to the next round, where the Kings will trample them.

I'll take some comfort in knowing that the beginning of the end of the Dying-sty was last year vs the Kings. The Kings were truly the first team since the Dying-sty was born (note: Portland series in 2000 occurred before the Dying-sty won their 1st title) that "punched the Lakers in the mouth" (which Christie literally did in the preseason to washed up Rick Fox)... and it took a combination of fortunate events for the Kings to lose that series, not the other way around.

The big bad Lakers looked mortal and in sports, (as well as in life), once the cracks of weakness start to show from whomever holds power, their days are numbered. That's exactly what the Kings did and now the chickens have come home to roost....

"Kings haven't won shit". So true. Better get that statement in while you still can...

I've let you and other Circle Jerkers give me the business for years, so try taking a taste of your own medicine.

I find it "pretty funny" the lack of support Dying-sty fans have. This is the THIRD time in these playoffs I've had to rescue this thread from falling into the Planet Abyss. Why me? And why the lack of support? Don't you believe in your team anymore? Are they not the incredible team you all said they were before the playoffs started?

As for the Kings-Dallas, Game 2, I fully expect Dallas to bring their A game. They really have no other choice. Lose here and the series will not come back to Dallas. So Dirk, Nash, Van Exel, and Finley I expect to play like warriors. I expect LaFrentz, Najera, Griffin, Walt Williams and Bradley to be men and play an aggressive, physical game (expected from Najera and Griffin).

If the Kings have discovered the championship attitude they've been trying to convince everyone that they have, then Dallas' A game will make for a great game, but a Kings win regardless. If the Kings have the attitude that Dallas will roll over and die, it will be 1-1 and we'll have a series. In short, if the Kings mean business, the Kings get out of Big D with the 2-0 stranglehold.

If the Kings lose Game 2... a wonderful idea for all the Dying-sty fans following a playoff loss. I'll be here, taking the lumps, just like Game 3 of the Jazz series. Just like the series past with the Lakers and even the Jazz from 1999.

If the Kings win, I'll let my silence speak for itself, for I expect my team to win... and I'll let this thread fall into the Planet Abyss for one more night.

I agree the lack of depth is the difference between this Lakers team and the one we saw role throught the playoffs the last three years. Outside of Kobe and Shaq there is nobody stepping up.

The lack of depth is why I saw the Fox injury as the death nail to the Lakers championship aspirations this year. Fox may not be the player he was a few years ago but, he is an intense intelligent player who filled holes on defense. Fox allowed Kobe to roam the way he does. Always has that role player that makes a silent difference. In Chicago it was Toni Kukoc, in LA it is Rick Fox.

ROYC75 · 05-08-2003, 08:30 AM

Yep, I would say the Lakers have there work cut out for them, down 0-2.........

BTA, I expected them to anyway........... Like many of you Laker faithfuls on here, I agree, no bench .

Maybe next year the Lakers can start it over again.

AJKCFAN,

What are you talking about I have been here the entire time talking with you about the games. You can joke all you want about the Dying-sty but bottom line is won't take much to make that team come back and spank the Queens like they have always done before. MOF, they are just one good power forward away from being there. There will be changes made in LA at the end of the season but to say that the Lake show is dying just because they may not win their 4th consecutive title is assinine. The Queens will never win 3 straight titles.

TEX · 05-08-2003, 03:43 PM

Man I LOVE watching the the SPURS SPANK the Lake (soon to be LATE) Show. I LOVE hearing the ZEN Master BENEFACTOR of being handed teams LOADED with talent say stuff like, "They (the refs) aren't letting Shaq play like he's always played before." Translation - they're NOT letting Shaq GET AWAY WITH MURDER EVERY TIME HE'S IN the PAINT! This is a FUN series. Still sticking to my prediction of SPURS in 6!

Big Daddy,

He's too busy trying to give the Queens credit for the Lakers downfall so I would take what he says with a grain of salt. Like what happened last May has ANY baring on what has happened this year. He has to try to give the Queens some type of moral victory over the Lakers because they are never good enough to take a playoff series from them.

The Queens will never win two straight titles, and even winning one is going to be a stretch. But let him continue to gloat. No matter what happens to the Lakers this season ( and I have gone on record saying they won't win this Spurs series) I will make sure to pull up these posts when the Queens pull their annual playoff choke job.

BIG_DADDY · 05-08-2003, 04:10 PM

Bad Guy,

What's funny is they are still crying about last season, good god get over it already. If he thinks this is the end of Kobe and Shaq getting titles he needs to get off the crack pipe. BTW, did you see Webber crying his eyes out about the officiating when they were already killing the Mavs? I would hate to think that the NBA would need to hire a crew to follow all these guys around and wipe up all their tears all the time. Certainly NOT what I want to see in a champion. IMO the Queens will have their hands full if the Spurs are playing like they are right now. I think I would have to pull for the Spurs in that series if it happens even though I could really could care less who wins. If the Lakers can't win it I would like to see David Robinson leave on a high note. The man is a class act.

PinkFloyd · 05-08-2003, 05:23 PM

I love the Kings with all my heart, but I honestly think this might be the Spurs' year. But; I would just like to see them play the Lakers and hopefully get the jinx off their back. Alway's remember ---- it's tough to beat the team that's always there at the end of the year ---- like the Laker's. That's either down 2-0, or being a 5th seed like the Lakers. ( not sure what their seeding was )...... But; the Laker's have no bench --- something the Kings do have. On the other hand ---- the Spur's have the twin tower's. But; I do believe the champ will come from the Western Conference. The Eastern Conference just doesn't play tough and rough enough. Not even Kenyon Martin. I honestly picked the Spur's or Kings to win it all this year. I just hink there's toooooooo much finger pointing going on with the Lakers. Funny thing is ---- Phil Jackson just seems to let them work it out ---- or crumble. Well See !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think again. I use the word Dying-sty to indicate this season. Shaq and Kobe are the 2 best players in the league. You're right. I'd be nuts to think it's all over for them winning championships. All they need to do is give them a better collection of players, for what they have... it's like this, Shaq is peanut butter. Kobe is jelly. Where's the bread, apart from the stale and moldy bread that's there?

And this series isn't over either... haven't you heard a series doesn't mean anything until the home team loses? Until the Dying-sty loses for the 4th time in a playoff series, it's not over. I just don't understand the concession speeches I saw from some Circle Jerkers though, WTF?

Sorry, dude. You can't on one hand say "I'll pull up these posts" but be conceding defeat for your team on the other hand. That's a no-lose situation and a very, very safe approach, kinda like Medevenko taking it to the hoop.

So, wait. You have immunity if/when the Lakers get knocked out because you dropped your 4 peat goals like a bad habit?

I don't think so.

And the difference between you and me is here I am, hiding from NOBODY. The Kings just played a combination of emabrassing basketball, combined moreso by the Mavericks playing absolute lights-out basketball (greatest offensive display possibly ever and we're halfway done) and I'M HERE.

So bring it (which will include Cal_ Injun finally making a "surprise"

return)
