Lakers fans cheering for the Magic have a reality check coming...

[bruceblitz]

The Lakers fans who are cheering for the Magic are retards. If I was a Lakers fan I would want to face the Cavs but they are blinded by their hate for LeBron, they just want to see LeBron's team fail even though he's the only player in NBA history to put up 40+ 8+ 8+ in a series, which he's doing so far in this series. Should be cheering for the Cavs. IF the Magic close this series out, which it looks inevitable, you guys will get what you wished for. Be careful what you wish for.

-Lakers suck at defending the pick n roll, the Magic are great at getting open 3 point shots off a high screen

-Lakers will not have an answer for Dwight Howard

-Lakers bigs will be neutralized by Dwight

The Magic will crush the Lakers if LeBron doesn't pull a historic performance to bring the Cavs back in this one (cavs are down by 15 points in the first half as I type this)

[Lamar Doom]

I just want home court and pleezebelieve to leave.

[BRabbiT]

The Magic will crush the Lakers...

nah. i don't see that. sorry.

although, it'll be a great finals:rockon:

Maybe Laker fans aren't afraid to go against a good Magic team. You're throwing out your opinion as if it is fact the Lakers will get crushed by Orlando.

End yourself already.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

just like the Lakers didn't have anyone to defend Melo.
just like the Lakers didn't have an answer for Billups.

3 words for the simple-minded: Home Court Advantage.

if that doesn't work for ya, 1 more word: Kobe.

[Lamar Doom]

they're both good teams, we have matchup/defensive problems with both teams. It's the NBA finals, it's going to be one of the best teams in the league either way. Having a preference between the two doesn't imply we're under rating anyone. I don't see a lot of "Lakers are about to sweep the Magic" threads, just you telling us what we think and why we're wrong.

Nothing, but your opinion. We will see.:roll:

[RocketGreatness]

You probably also said this.

Lakers have no answer for Yao Ming
Lakers have no answer for the Denver Nuggets.

I remember this other guy on another site who was massive Heat hater, who said this in the 2006 playoffs.

-Heat will lose to the Bulls
-Heat will lose to the Nets
-Heat will lose to the Pistons
-Heat will lose to the Mavericks.

Guess what happened? :rolleyes:

Lakers are going to win, they have no answer for Gasol or Kobe.

[Crash]

I just want home court.

[Al Thornton]

I haven't seen any Laker fans cheering for Orlando. They know whats coming.

[bruceblitz]

All of the butt-hurt Lakers fans who post in this thread are just the type of fan I'm talking about. You should have been pulling for the Cavs but you proved your bias against LeBron by cheering for the better team, the Magic, who's gonna smack your boy Kobe right out of his shoes by scoring up and down on that Lakers defense.

It's official, after seeing how much you guys cheered against LeBron, I'm cheering for the Magic in the finals. That's if LeBron doesn't pull some crazy crap here in the second half.

[Indian guy]

Orlando's terrific, but LA is light years ahead of Cleveland from a standpoint of size and athleticism. They won't have anywhere close to the trouble defensively that Cleveland had. And that's all they need to do, really. Their league-best offense will take care of the rest.

[EllEffEll]

If you want a legit title, you want to play and defeat the best, whomever that is. . . PERIOD.

I don't really care which team proves itself to be the best even if the Magic match up better against the Lakers. Put the best against the best and let the chips fall where they may.

The only reason I would get a kick out of the Cavs losing is to see how someone may try to dispose of a DNA splattered Fathead with it's head cut off.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said Lakers have no answer for Yao, I thought the Lakers would win that series easily and it went to 7. I never said the Lakers don't have an answer for the Nuggets. I never said the Heat would lose to the Bulls in the 06 playoffs (I'm a Bulls fan). etc etc etc

The Lakers defense sucks and they only show up on defense sometimes, even with their best effort on defense they will not be able to contend with Dwight in the paint and all of the good shooters the Magic have on the perimeter, add in the Orlando defense and you will see Kobe lose for the 3rd time in 6 finals appearances.

Just watch.

I love Lebron. I was hoping for the Kobe/Lebron final. Rare oppurtunity in team sports to see the best two individual players play for a championship. I agree that Orlando is a more complete team.

Just watch.
The same Dwight Howard who will be going up against Andrew Bynum? Ok. We are talking about the same Dwight Howard who got completely shut down by Kendrick Perkins right..

Just face it, you are just a troll and you are a sensile retard who is just mad that Kobe Bryant is still arguably the best player in the world at this point. Grow a pair, seriously.

I can't wait for the Lakers Magic series

Yes, of course, no where in there did I say the Nuggets will crush the Lakers. You people were acting like the Lakers would just roll right over the Nuggets.

You're clearly a Laker hater going by just your posts on this thread. I understand you're upset at Lebron and the Cav's being down 18, but perhaps you need to step outside and get some fresh air. Some people like the challenge of facing a team playing as well as the Magic are regardless of matchup problems or regular season head-to-head record. Relax.

I know you nimrods don't look at overall production, you just like a player's flash. Look at the statistical production for the last 4 years, Kobe isn't on LeBron's level as an all-around basketball player. Give me an ever-loving break you goof. LeBron is the superior player in the NBA right now, LeBron's averaging 40-8-8 in this series or the Cavs would have been swept.

Start watching full games in the regular season, start watching the way LeBron plays, because clearly you don't and haven't been watching LeBron even in these playoffs which are games that are broadcast nationally. Slap yourself for being such a terrible impersonator as a basketball fan.

okie dokey. Someone who claims to be a true realist and thinks "fanhood" is a virtue shouldn't say "NO chance". I mean it's professional basketball, even if you think one team is vastly superior (which in the NBA finals is rare) saying "NO chance" just feels bitter and short sighted. No?

I'm sorry but a couple of my favorite players of all time are Magic and Kareem. I also liked Shaq in his dominant years, you were always waiting for that beast to dunk on someone else or rip down another rim/backboard. As far as these current lakers, I enjoy watching Kobe play because you can see Jordan's influence on his game so clearly. As far as hating the Lakers, I hate the way the Lakers fans have acted on the internet during this Cavs series. Trying to diminish the greatest performance since Jordan left the Bulls, as far as a playoff series is concerned, just because they feel threatened by LeBron's greatness is dumb. I'm 100% cheering for the Magic to smoke their ass.

[EllEffEll]

Then Orlando will win the title. I see no problem with this.

I admit I am bitter. Not about the Cavs losing but about the arrogance from the Kobe apostles and blind hatred for LeBron James. I'm not even a Cavs fan, Bulls fan first, just enjoy seeing such a great all around talent like LeBron play and the way these Kobe apostles act, he's a bum.

Do you think a healthy Luol Deng would have affected the outcome of the Celtics/Bulls series?

[bruceblitz]

Do you think a healthy Luol Deng would have affected the outcome of the Celtics/Bulls series?
Well if you mean 100% healthy Deng, probably, might have been enough to win the series in 6. The problem is ever since Deng signed his contract extention, and we showed him the money, he went into the tank. So I've lost a lot of confidence in Deng. Speculation had it that he could have come back from that injury but didn't want to.

I find LeBron boring. I have nothing against him but this. Not entertaining, except his dunks or when he is totally on fire from everywhere on the court. I think he is a great player, but I don't like watching him (i.e.: his team) play.

I cannot enjoy boredom.

[D-Rose]

Lol Bruce didn't you say LA would lose to Denver?

I think Orlando will cause match-up problems but thank the lord up above that we have Odom who can come off the bench to neutralize and give us a PF in a SF's body like Shard for Orlando. It is also huge that Jameer isn't playing.

Let the players on the court do the talking.

I got to see your bulls courtside this year at staples (i'm not rich, i lucked into some tickets through my girlfriend's employer). I really like a bunch of your players. I wasn't sure about Vinnie Del to be honest but that playoff series looked like maybe they figured something out. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the off season. Keep Hinrich?

Yeah, I used to like bruceblitz posts, but after that little statement not as much.

[PP34Deuce]

THe celtics and Cavs didnt have an answer for 6-10 shooters who are dangerous from 3. Having a 6'5 Ray Allen or 6'3 West try to close out on those guys was a big disadvantage.

The Lakers have long athletic players in Odom(6 10) and Ariza(6'8 with long arms)

The lakers have 3 point attacks, and athletes...something boston and cleveland dont have collectively

Lakers in 6.

[raptorfan_dr07]

The same Dwight Howard who will be going up against Andrew Bynum? Ok. We are talking about the same Dwight Howard who got completely shut down by Kendrick Perkins right..


Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.

[Crash]

Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.

Perhaps, but we have 3 bigs and 18 fouls to throw at him. And thats not including Mbenga.

[PP34Deuce]

Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.


We had perkins and that was it.

Cavs have a very slow Z and an Undersized Wallace with a Varejau who is not strong enough.

Lakers have athletic Bigmen who will take Howard out the box area.

Seriously i dont care for either team, but the lakers have the perfect mix to beat the Magic in 6 games.

[cotdt]

Dwight will manhandle the Lakers front line. Kendrick Perkins is miles ahead of Andrew Bynum defensively.

Bynum is playing through an injury, so it will be Gasol who plays Dwight. I don't think Gasol will have any problems. Gasol is taller and has a jumpshot. Dwight does NOT have a jumpshot and cannot shoot over the taller Gasol.

It sucks that Odom, Ariza, Kobe, and Bynum is injured, yet Lakers are still favored to win it all.

[ConanRulesNBC]

If the Lakers decide to play like they played last night they have a way better chance than the Cavs.

[takeittothehoop]

Cleveland would be the easier matchup but I think we can still beat the Magic. The series will probably go 6 or 7 games perhaps but I'm not terrified about the thought of facing Orlando but at the same time I'm aware that they aren't going to just lie down and not give us a run for our money.

[YAWN]

well i would of much rather faced the cavs in the finals. but i think we should be able to handle the magic in 5 or 6. Need to take those first two at home

[dynasty1978]

DWIGHT HOWARD is the MAN :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Stringer Bell]

This should be a good series.

Despite the "Lebron vs. Kobe" hype, I don't think the Cavs-Lakers would've made that entertaining a series. The 2 games they played this year were disappointing. The Magic-Laker games I saw (with Nelson playing PG) were exciting.

[Allstar24]

I was rooting for the Magic beacause:

a) Jameer Nelson isn't playing (he was responsible for their 2 wins vs LA)
b) We'll have home court advantage

[bruceblitz]

Yeah, I used to like bruceblitz posts, but after that little statement not as much.
I apologize for bringing it so hard in this post, because I know the silent majority of Lakers fans weren't cheering against LeBron just for the sake of cheering against him, I aimed this post at the ones who were. Should be a fun series to watch but I warn you Lakers fans, this Magic team is scary. I have Lakers winning game 1, if you don't win game 1 the fat lady will already be warming up her vocal cords. From game 2 and on I can realistically see the Magic controlling this series. Better close out on the perimeter and no way will the Lakers bigs be able to contain Dwight. Bynum will be in foul trouble the entire series.

[Jordan-esque]

Lakers fans better not get too over-confident against these Magics.

This reminded me of when Lakers fans wanted to face HOU rather than POR, and got a little too over-confident, and the next thing you know the Rockets took them to 7 games.

"Be careful what you wish for?"

Lakers fans better have learned from this.

A: the Kobe apostles, I want to see them cry

B: The Magic are from the same conference as my favorite team, Chicago

C: I think the Magic are the better team

Bonus: Kobe was my favorite player in the early 00's, LeBron is my favorite player now but I'm glad my Bulls actually do have a chance to get him if the Cavs don't sign someone like Amare... patience is a virtue, you little roaches will be nowhere to be found when LeBron gets a true low post scoring presence as a teammate.

[ItsTwisted]

Why are you acting like the Lakers will get crushed by the Magic. I clearly remember the two games we played against them were very close. At LA they beat us by 6, but it was close all game but they had Jameer Nelson who scored 28 points and Dwight Howard who had 25. The game that we played in Orlando was 106-103, so it is a lot closer then you think.

However all the games they won in the regular season against the Cavaliers was by double digits and it showed in this series why. We can say the regular season does not matter but all the games we played against the Nuggets in the regular season were extremely close and it definetly showed in the series. We are the number one offense and the Magic defense will definetly have problems with us way more then they did with Cleveland. Cleveland had plenty of open looks they just were not hitting their shots, what makes you think the Lakers wont either?

You say the Lakers play bad defense? Yes we play bad defense when we are not focused. Both of the games in these playoffs that we have been focused the teams got blown out. Against the Rockets in Game 7, we were prepared and it was more worse then a blowout, and last night as well. When the Lakers WANT TO WIN they are unbeatable, and I know they want this championship bad, hence the straight faces at the trophy presentation last night. I did not see one Laker player crack a big smile like the Magic did tonight.

You are just a Lakers hater and do not want them to win. You say you did not pick the Nuggets to win, please you basically said everything but the word win. You said how we would get killed by Melo, and how we have no one to guard Billups, and I clearly remember you saying then the Lakers will get a big wakeup call, just watch. Well we all watched and we saw that when the Lakers did not play defense they lost, when they decided to show up they won. I think we had more trouble with Houston then we did with Denver, so your predictions so far have all been off.

Because of your hate towards the Lakers, you can not see what everybody else sees. I as a Laker fan wanted us to face Magic not because I hate Lebron or the Cavs because they definetly would have been an easier matchup, but to prove to people like you that when the Lakers want to play, they are unstoppable. Like I said before the Nuggets series, YOU will be the one getting the wakeup call. Even Orlando fans can admit that this will be a tough series and for you to act like it wont just shows your hate.

Who will guard Kobe? Gasol? Odom? The reason Cavs lost was because they did not have another man besides Lebron who was able to score night in and night out that the Magic defense can focus on; and that is why they were able to only focus on Lebron, and his teammates still found open looks, they just could not hit them. With the Lakers those shots will go in, and Orlando will be forced to double team. I projected even before the playoffs started Lakers in 6 over Magic and I am sticking to that; but you my friend will get a big wake up call, since you seem to have 0 basketball knowlegde when all of your predictions so far have been off when it comes to the Lakers, and are just based upon hate.

[SAKOTXA]

Why are you acting like the Lakers will get crushed by the Magic. I clearly remember the two games we played against them were very close. At LA they beat us by 6, but it was close all game but they had Jameer Nelson who scored 28 points and Dwight Howard who had 25. The game that we played in Orlando was 106-103, so it is a lot closer then you think.

However all the games they won in the regular season against the Cavaliers was by double digits and it showed in this series why. We can say the regular season does not matter but all the games we played against the Nuggets in the regular season were extremely close and it definetly showed in the series. We are the number one offense and the Magic defense will definetly have problems with us way more then they did with Cleveland. Cleveland had plenty of open looks they just were not hitting their shots, what makes you think the Lakers wont either?

You say the Lakers play bad defense? Yes we play bad defense when we are not focused. Both of the games in these playoffs that we have been focused the teams got blown out. Against the Rockets in Game 7, we were prepared and it was more worse then a blowout, and last night as well. When the Lakers WANT TO WIN they are unbeatable, and I know they want this championship bad, hence the straight faces at the trophy presentation last night. I did not see one Laker player crack a big smile like the Magic did tonight.

You are just a Lakers hater and do not want them to win. You say you did not pick the Nuggets to win, please you basically said everything but the word win. You said how we would get killed by Melo, and how we have no one to guard Billups, and I clearly remember you saying then the Lakers will get a big wakeup call, just watch. Well we all watched and we saw that when the Lakers did not play defense they lost, when they decided to show up they won. I think we had more trouble with Houston then we did with Denver, so your predictions so far have all been off.

Because of your hate towards the Lakers, you can not see what everybody else sees. I as a Laker fan wanted us to face Magic not because I hate Lebron or the Cavs because they definetly would have been an easier matchup, but to prove to people like you that when the Lakers want to play, they are unstoppable. Like I said before the Nuggets series, YOU will be the one getting the wakeup call. Even Orlando fans can admit that this will be a tough series and for you to act like it wont just shows your hate.

Yea, both those games Nelson was super clutch. Lakers still have a chance to beat them.

[Kingwillball]

I like the Magic in 6. This team is so focused and resiliant. Lakers are about to face a team that has the CONFIDENCE after beating Boston on there court and Cleveland in a series plus knowing they were 2-0 against the Lakers in the Regular season. Orlando has a Beast in the Middle and sharp shooters all over the place..they are very hard to defend. Lakers have some things too but Magic has a will to win that is VERY impressive.

[Laker4Lyfe]

I'm a Bulls fan, your false perceptions of my fanhood don't matter one bit.

I already stated the reasons why I'm on the Magic bandwagon:

A: the Kobe apostles, I want to see them cry

B: The Magic are from the same conference as my favorite team, Chicago

C: I think the Magic are the better team

Bonus: Kobe was my favorite player in the early 00's, LeBron is my favorite player now but I'm glad my Bulls actually do have a chance to get him if the Cavs don't sign someone like Amare... patience is a virtue, you little roaches will be nowhere to be found when LeBron gets a true low post scoring presence as a teammate.

First off I'm not questioning your "fanhood" i'm questioning your "MANHOOD".

Second your explanation is fine and all but it has absolutely ZERO to do with your original post, or for that matter my response.

Third your name calling is quite comical, as I have stated in the past, if you can't cut & paste some crap or post a youtube you really have nothing to say.

I'm glad to hear that after winning game 6 you FINALLY think that the Magic is the better team. :ohwell:

You're a joke and I enjoy laughing at you. Thank you, because laughter is great for the human body!!!! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

What are you gonna post next???? Let me guess

The Lakers fans who are cheering for the Magic are retards. If I was a Lakers fan I would want to face the Cavs but they are blinded by their hate for LeBron, they just want to see LeBron's team fail even though he's the only player in NBA history to put up 40+ 8+ 8+ in a series, which he's doing so far in this series. Should be cheering for the Cavs. IF the Magic close this series out, which it looks inevitable, you guys will get what you wished for. Be careful what you wish for.

-Lakers suck at defending the pick n roll, the Magic are great at getting open 3 point shots off a high screen

-Lakers will not have an answer for Dwight Howard

-Lakers bigs will be neutralized by Dwight

The Magic will crush the Lakers if LeBron doesn't pull a historic performance to bring the Cavs back in this one (cavs are down by 15 points in the first half as I type this)
LOL terrible analysis. The Lakers aren't completely slow, flat footed, un athletic, and inept at the C - SF spots. And they don't have a team full of small guards.

Bruce I think your a great poster but crush the lakers. I don't think so.. The LAKERS have athletic players at every position except the pt guard position.. Kobe will have much better looks than Lebron and Kobe doesn't have to be a facilitator.. The Lakers have ariza to defend the opposing teams best offensive player and Lamar ,GASOL AND ARIZA can defend much better at the perimeter than Wallace ,varejo and Z...

[Kingwillball]

What's the worst that can happen? LA not winning the Finals? Been there done that. :oldlol:

I have a feeling that the Lakers have been overlooking other teams as they were playing for a long-term goal. Now is the time where they'll have to show what they've learned this year.

It should be a great series but I don't see what the big reality check is. People already know that the Magic are a great team.

[jmill]

Man, Bruce comes off so bitter in almost any post regarding the Lakers.

- You already said the Nuggets were going to beat the Lakers and how the Lakers fans were in for a rude awakening in that series.

- Yes, the Magic can give the Lakers problems. The Lakers struggle defending the pick and roll and if Bynum gets in foul trouble early like he has so far in the playoffs Dwight has the potential to really hurt them.

- Lakers fans are cheering for the Magic because they have HC over the Magic, not because they think they're going to just roll over them in the finals. Call it the lesser of two evils if you will. It's not like we have alot of great options to choose from at this point, we can either face a 66 win team that has HC over us and the MVP, or a 59 win team that beat us twice in the regular season. Either way, it's going to be tough. HC is huge though and it's pretty rational for Laker fans to want Orlando for that reason.

So no, Lakers fans aren't retards for wanting to face the team that gives them HC. You however come off extremely bitter and irrational in nearly any post I've ever seen you make regarding the Lakers or Kobe. Seriously, it's basektball man, I get that you enjoy living vicariously through people with far more talent than you but you don't need to get so worked up over it. At this point it's just kind of sad.

That being said, go Lakers. I for one think the Magic will be a tough match up, and hope the Lakers are able to pull it out.

[DDensity]

It's not like it cheering harder from 3000 miles away makes any sort of difference. As a Lakers fan I agree Cleveland would have been an easier match up, only because I did not buy into them for a second this year and was convinced they were an inferior team. So obviously it would be easier to go up against them.

I think the lakers will have trouble with dwight one on one. Too strong for pau and too quick for bynum. However, the lakers are quick and long enough to double dwight and still get back to the shooters. Dwight isn't a good enough passer, especially on the move.

Orlando is in trouble. Lewis can't possibly slow gasol down. If he starts burning LA on offense, odom can come in and keep up with him. Ariza can give hedo fits. Pietrus matches up pretty well with kobe, but he's the only one on the magic. LA in 5.

[MFC]

Any cheering for Orlando was simply due to the home court factor. No disrespect to Orlando - we're 0-2 against them this season so we know what they can do and the matchup problems they present us with. A fairly simple concept for most people, really.

Not really. Dwight isn't that good, as people make him out to be. He is not even as good as Yao Ming. Perkins pretty much kept him in check, in the Boston series. Bynum and Gasol will do good versus him.

Dwight Howard is just not that dominate. He basically can only dunk. That little hook shot he has been doing is underdeveloped and teams will give him that shot all night. He isn't good at the free throw line consistently. He doesn't have pretty much any kind of basket moves.

He has key weaknesses and they will all get exposed versus the Lakers. I'm thinking people on ISH will quickly jump off the Dwight Howard bang wagon soon enough.

[Power_Ballin]

You probably also said this.

Lakers have no answer for Yao Ming
Lakers have no answer for the Denver Nuggets.

I remember this other guy on another site who was massive Heat hater, who said this in the 2006 playoffs.

-Heat will lose to the Bulls
-Heat will lose to the Nets
-Heat will lose to the Pistons
-Heat will lose to the Mavericks.

Guess what happened? :rolleyes:

Lakers are going to win, they have no answer for Gasol or Kobe.

The Matchups are gonna be great in this series. Both teams really match up well with each other and have good versatility off the bench.

Magic can go big with Dwight & Battie/Gortat if they need keep Bynum & Pau in check.

Or they can stick to 'small ball' and play Dwight & Shard to match if PJ plays the Bynum/Pau & Odom front court.

@ Small Forward, Orlando can rotate Hedo/Shard/Pietrus in depending on if they need to go big or small

@Shooting Guard, Lee & Pietrus are both very good defenders but Kobe is Kobe. LA has the edge here.

@ Point Guard, If Orlando had Jameer I would pick Orlando to win. Jameer would give Orlando a similar edge a PG that LA has at shooting guard. As seen earlier in the year, there's no way Fisher could check him. Idk but I just dont trust Alston as much. If Alston can step it up in this series Orlando may have a chance, but I just dont think we have enough firepower w/o Jameer. If LA is playing their best game, and Orlando is playing our best game, I think LA would win. If LA hits some kind of slump, I think Orlando has an outside chance. So let's get it, Orlando! Anything Is Possible!!!!

-Dwight will be neutralized by the Lakers bigs

Fixed it for you, dumbass.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

The Lakers fans who are cheering for the Magic are retards. If I was a Lakers fan I would want to face the Cavs but they are blinded by their hate for LeBron, they just want to see LeBron's team fail even though he's the only player in NBA history to put up 40+ 8+ 8+ in a series, which he's doing so far in this series. Should be cheering for the Cavs. IF the Magic close this series out, which it looks inevitable, you guys will get what you wished for. Be careful what you wish for.

-Lakers suck at defending the pick n roll, the Magic are great at getting open 3 point shots off a high screen

-Lakers will not have an answer for Dwight Howard

-Lakers bigs will be neutralized by Dwight

The Magic will crush the Lakers if LeBron doesn't pull a historic performance to bring the Cavs back in this one (cavs are down by 15 points in the first half as I type this)

[The Magic Man]

All of the butt-hurt Lakers fans who post in this thread are just the type of fan I'm talking about. You should have been pulling for the Cavs but you proved your bias against LeBron by cheering for the better team, the Magic, who's gonna smack your boy Kobe right out of his shoes by scoring up and down on that Lakers defense.

It's official, after seeing how much you guys cheered against LeBron, I'm cheering for the Magic in the finals. That's if LeBron doesn't pull some crazy crap here in the second half.

I'm not even gonna come into this thread to say I told you so. I'm just wondering what the hell is this dude smoking? This dude has to be under 16. If he's a grown man then....just....wow.

[oh the horror]

This dude has to be under 16. If he's a grown man then....just....wow.

[Mrofir]

c'mon. Just enjoy your night.

He was making a prediction that turned out to be WRONG. We've all done it. He backed it up with some insights. That's what we're supposed to do here at ISH. Sure he talked it up alot and set himself up, but you guys have to be doing something more interesting than "I told you so" on ISH tonight?

I think if the Magic had shown up as they did for the ECF we would have seen a great, competitive finals. Didn't happen. Lakers are champs. Not much more needs to be done\said except congrats...

Lakers bigs would be neutralized by Dwight? So that means single handed Dwight Howard was supposed to shut down Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum??

[ThatBigBlackGuy]

lol

[Story Up]

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said Lakers have no answer for Yao, I thought the Lakers would win that series easily and it went to 7. I never said the Lakers don't have an answer for the Nuggets. I never said the Heat would lose to the Bulls in the 06 playoffs (I'm a Bulls fan). etc etc etc

The Lakers defense sucks and they only show up on defense sometimes, even with their best effort on defense they will not be able to contend with Dwight in the paint and all of the good shooters the Magic have on the perimeter, add in the Orlando defense and you will see Kobe lose for the 3rd time in 6 finals appearances.

Just watch.

We can't put words in your mouth because your foot is in the way.

You're still calling someone out for something that happened OVER a YEAR ago.So what? Bruceblitz always talk about shit more than a decade old. 2 weeks ago the fool was still ranting in his podcast, calling Kobe names and saying how he was a rapist and shit (7 years after the facts); calling all the ones who don't agree with him "losers who have no life and rant on the internet".

The fool hasn't taken a look at himself, spending his life sitting on his ass and getting fat just to defend MJ's legacy.

[The Iron Fist]

Lets be real, it is the Lakers being on the verge of another 3 peat with Kobe leading the way that has this clown "retiring". Hes realized that no matter what "facts" he comes with, Kobe is going down as an all time great and basketball legend with some people thinking he may be the best ever.

so great that he "retires" only to come back out of the ashes like a Jordan/Phoenix hybrid b/c his fans begged him to reconsider.

so dangerous the Lamestream media misrepresents what he says in an effort to discredit him!

He was a little nutty, I agree, insecure etc yes absolutely, he had good points though(among his insecure crap), and Id take his nonsense over half the crap I see from the younger guys on here...

[Javat_90]

Typical of FatBlitz, he makes some retarded claim (usually against anything related to the Los Angeles Lakers franchise) and then when proven absoultely wrong he just dissapears.

I think he is still around here with a different nickname.

Remember when he attempted to retire from "youtube" just to gain some attention (insecurity alert) and at the same time emulate Jordan?

Would his videos be greatly improved by leaving all the comments about various acts of homosexuality on there? Or the enlightening "ur a dumbass" comments? :confusedshrug:

The guy is ridiculously opinionated, and I don't agree with some of his crap (like his GOAT rankings I think are garbage), but the guy at least provides a solid reasoning for his opinions, and doesn't keep changing the way he rates players like many fans on here do when it suits their argument.

[Askmeificare]

If you want a legit title, you want to play and defeat the best, whomever that is. . . PERIOD.

I don't really care which team proves itself to be the best even if the Magic match up better against the Lakers. Put the best against the best and let the chips fall where they may.

The only reason I would get a kick out of the Cavs losing is to see how someone may try to dispose of a DNA splattered Fathead with it's head cut off.
