The Lakers are going to go 19-5 in the last 24 games though, so just wait!

There was only three of them. Poor guys.

As far as I'm aware, none of the Laker fans on this forum are as smug and arrogant the same way as the detractors on this forum are. Its ok to be wrong, the Lakers aren't contending. Its been a very tough season to date as a Westbrook/Laker fan but... shock, horror, life goes on outside of the blowout forum... you guys can continue on with puffing out your chests and absolutely reveling in others failures! - It is pretty weird seeing this as what people derive the most pleasure from, but very thankful its not a mentality I possess.

Lakers fans are enjoying their 17 championships knowing there will be more in the near future. Loser fans can enjoy rooting for the Lakers to fail since they have nothing else to look forward to.

But what are Westbrick fans enjoying?

They're enjoying 20% shooting nights and 4th quarter benchings

Which quite a few of them experienced no more than 3 during their lifetime.

How old do you think the forum is? Maybe it's just old me and I suppose the sneaker boi crowd exploded on here during the boom, but there have been 6 Championships since 2000 alone. I was around for more of course, but not unrealistic to think more members here were born before this century.

Back to topic. yeah wow, the Lakers are not looking good.

jcardstore · 02-10-2022, 10:29 AM

I do find it funny the big market fans (LA, Boston, NY) who boast about all their championships like it even matters. The Lakers won a single title in the last decade, and aren't winning another one for the next decade so I'm sure rats is just basking in the glory of the 1949 title team

KhalDrogo · 02-10-2022, 10:32 AM

Rats is probably the only guy on the board who was around for Minneapolis’s 1949 title.

To be fair, I think the average age here is like mid 30s so they got to see 6 championships. Not too bad.

Dame · 02-10-2022, 11:05 AM

I’ve witnessed all 6. That’s a 3Peat and a B2B plus another feeebie.

Zedlaw · 02-10-2022, 11:36 AM

I've seen Barkley/KJ, Nash/Amare, and now Booker/Paul. Zero Championships and Two Finals. We seem to stumble on a good team every ten years. A little different luck and those groups have a title apiece (Sorry Rockets, Spurs and Bucks fans)

Lets rank the teams on the premise of the experience being a fan from 1980 to present

Lakers
Bulls
Celtics
Spurs
Detroit
Philly
Miami
Cleveland
Utah
Golden State
Houston
Dallas
Phoenix
Portland
Indiana
Toronto
Nets
Orlando
Knicks
Atlanta
Sacramento

I probably have Philly (DrJ, AI and now Embiid is a fun run) and Miami (those Lebron teams are the closest I've felt to MJs Bulls) too high and GSW too low. I went through this too fast, likely forgotten many memorable moments, but it was fun to think through and I'm curious what others find memorable

Zedlaw · 02-10-2022, 11:43 AM

And now I snubbed the Bucks with a big game coming tonight, the wound is still too fresh.

brock · 02-10-2022, 02:28 PM

Pat Bev calling out Westbrick is hilarious!

You mean like how LeBron tweeted for the 'haters' to bring the same energy later in the season and has now deleted that tweet? The Lakers are so, so easy to hate because they do it to themselves.

Ferg1945 · 02-10-2022, 09:09 PM

Nash just used his one and only challenge on a play half way thru the 3rd quarter in a 4 point game.

rhigh2390 · 02-10-2022, 10:11 PM

KD can't come back fast enough for the Nets.

ninjacookies · 02-10-2022, 10:11 PM

Headcase for a headcase. I guess, only difference is one headcase was at least willing to semi-play through the phuckery.

Brooklyn fleeced Philly though. Got a capable combo guard that can hold it down during Rie's absences and anchor the bench. And a desperately needed big. The 2 firsts were just additional insult to injury.

I guess the big question is...what version of beard will Philly receive...and how will Ben perform/not perform if they make the postseason...which is still a big if at this point.

If he enjoyed the Philly media...he's absolutely going to LOVE New York.

pingbling23 · 02-10-2022, 10:21 PM

game of the night right here. suns/bucks going to be a fun one.

Has a team that lost 10 in a row in the regular season ever made an NBA Final? (Probably not right?)

And it's going to be 11 after Miami.

pingbling23 · 02-10-2022, 11:09 PM

good run by the suns to end the half. tight game and will probably go down to the wire.

oshmeehan · 02-10-2022, 11:16 PM

Planet Pat just doesn't have it from distance tonight unfortunately. Bucks getting good looks though so hopefully they'll go in in the 2nd half. Also, not sure why they were putting a guard on Ayton in the paint. He had like 5 easy baskets because of it.

Zedlaw · 02-10-2022, 11:17 PM

Suns Bucks feels like a heavy weight fight. Trading jabs. Giannis looking engaged. Ayton playing big. Good stuff

Donkaylove · 02-10-2022, 11:20 PM

memphis , chicago, and toronto......loving them. Miami is my dark horse.

I watch east coast cuz west/blazers suck. These are actual teams. not super anything, but gritty and trying to put a stamp on their new rep.
