Jim Alfredson Posted November 4, 2004 Author Report Posted November 4, 2004 They keep replaying Kobe's dunk on SportsCenter. Yeah, it was cool.... but they still lost. Quote

I'm not a Kobe fan. No suprise here, it's what we'll see all year. Thanks Kobe, for turning our championship manufacturing juggernaut into a one man losing show a la Allen Iverson. Quote
Tjazz Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 The HEAT won (with Shaq). But do they really need him to win? Quote

The happiest day in Kobe's life will be the final game, Lakers out of the playoff picture, and he's just behind as the scoring leader. He'll be albe to jack it up all night long, score 75 points, and, finally, completely, totally, be THE MAN -- loser. Quote

BruceW Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 Can't resist this, BUT Utah showed everyone who the Lakers really are..... Quote
doubleM Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 This Jazz fan must agree w/ Bruce W. on that one. That isn't Bruce Willis, is it? Quote

I get mistaken for him a lot, but... no. B-) I'm a vibe player in Loma Linda, Calif. and I love the Pistons... and while I loved many of the past Laker teams, eversince they got "sweet little innocent" Kobe (in reality the brash spoiled brat), I cannot say that I am now endeared to the Lakers nor their management, Mitch Kupchek. There seems to be "a bit" of dishonesty with him towards players. (probably gets paid to be the hatchet man). Be cool B-) BruceW Quote
pryan Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 Hey, the Raptors actually beat the Pistons. By like more than 10! That Ginobli dunk vs. the Lakers was sick. Sweet crossover move as well. Quote

Read in the papers where Ben Wallace admitted they took them for granted... "thought it would be a cakewalk." Go Pistons That might have been an early wakeup call. You know (now that you are champs, everyone is gunning for you). B-) Quote
BruceW Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 Can't resist this either, but San Antonio also showed everyone who the Lakers really are..... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 6, 2004 Author Report Posted November 6, 2004 The Pistons can't afford to think anyone is a cakewalk because, like Bruce said, they have a target on their backs. Everybody is going to bring their "A" game against them. Quote

Then when both of your starting corners are out, two starting offensive linemen, your star runningback, both starring receivers, several other key backups...man it's going to be tough this Sunday against St. Louis. Now, er, back to the NBA... Quote
Noj Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Anyone who wants to know "who the Lakers really are" can start by counting the numerous World Championship banners that hang in Staples Center. While they won't be adding any banners with this team, I don't think any Laker fans are in the dark about it. At least they get to play Atlanta sometimes, like tonight. Quote

I am constantly amazed at what is printed here and how differently it is interpreted. I was talking about only this present team since Kobe got his "wishes." That was not hard to understand from all the previous threads about the spoiled brat and the young team. In deference to your statement, yes, the Lakers as an organization with a past history is a great organization with lots and lots of championship banners. But, that is not the thread here. The thread here is dealing with "this present" team. As you are obviously a Laker fan, you should understand that this team will not represent the caliber of Lakers past. If, by some twist of fate, this team develops these youngsters into a major threat to the title, then so be it, but don't look for it. Quote
pryan Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Raptors are now 3-0, after Vinsanity hit that monster fade-away 3 with under five seconds to play in yesterday's game. Quote
doubleM Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 So are the Jazz (3-0), winning by 20-30 per game. I'm liking the addition of Carlos Boozer quite a bit these days! Quote
Noj Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 BruceW, fwiw, I've been ripping Kobe for weeks now--since the shit hit the fan in Phil's book. I've been bitter as hell they traded Shaq to keep him, and the more I read about Kobe lately the more I doubt his innocence in that off the court incident in Colorado. In fact, I'm just a bitter Laker fan altogether, I'm sorry to direct it your way--but you are discoing down in my agony. Quote

Noj Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Tough loss by the Clips last night at home against the World Champs. Jaric really panicked down the stretch. Much more heartbreaking was learning that Ben Wallace' older brother died. Very sad news for Big Ben, who is a class act and a workhorse. I wish he and his family strength during this awful time.

Jim Alfredson Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Posted November 10, 2004 Didn't his mom or dad die just last year? I think it was his mom. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 looks like the queens might win their first game tonight. suns move to 4-0 anyone buy the nba package? ss1 Quote
Bright Moments Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 heat are 4 - 0 for the first time in franchise history! B-) Quote
