The Lakers have 28 nationally televised games this year...

[Dr. Ice]

Think about that for a second. Not one, not two, but TWENTY-EIGHT nationally televised games that will be boring ass blowouts. Who on earth really wants to watch this terrible team get beat when those timeslots could have been used on much more competitive matchups?

:facepalm :facepalm

[oarabbus]

J Lin on National TV! :banana:

(Would rather have the Warriors get 28 games though)

[moe94]

LA doe

[JT123]

Once Kobe gets hurt again they will change it, just like last year. :lol

[Meticode]

Once Kobe gets hurt again they will change it, just like last year. :lol
The power of Kobe.

[stalkerforlife]

And you wonder why Kobe is the highest paid player in the game.

Pure and utter greatness.

:facepalm :facepalm

I think MJ on the Wizards had a lot of nationally televised games too. This situation is very similar.

[JT123]

Pure and utter greatness.
Or because Laker fans are a bunch of fair weather bandwagoners who refuse to watch their team unless their all time leading chucker is on the floor. What an embarrassing fanbase. :facepalm

To be fair it's hard to watch teams that suck. I didn't watch half the games I normally did the year LeBron left. It was torture sometimes. When we drafted Irving at least it was entertaining to lose. :oldlol:

[JohnMax]

Kobe gets exposed 28 times

[TheMarkMadsen]

:applause: :applause:

TVbe

[Mr.Kite]

Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5, Not 6, Not 7

[White Mamba]

I hope we win more than 28 games this season:rolleyes:

[buddha]

as it should be.

[Ca$H]

I hope we win more than 28 games this season:rolleyes:

Are you KobeMania from LG?

[russwest0]

It's like the boy Stern said, the ideal Finals matchup would be Lakers vs Lakers :bowdown:

[Levity]

why are the haters so upset?

at least this way, you can actually watch the games before you come on here to criticize and troll, rather than just looking at the box score and coming on here to blindly troll.

[bagelred]

Do we really need to explain why Lakers are on TV so much? You have one of the most amazing talents in the history of the league ready to play and people want to see him. It's that simple.




Talking about Jeremy Lin, of course....

[inclinerator]

time for mr lin to shine

[SpecialQue]

Another thread where retards don't understand that the Lakers = HUGE ratings.

[chazzy]

And your fanbase is...?

[HOoopCityJones]

Another thread where retards don't understand that the Lakers = HUGE ratings.

They're just jealous because even in our down years with an over the hill Kobe we're still a box office draw. :oldlol:

[BlkMambaGOAT]

Why are Bran stans mad? All they watch is the boxscore.

[kennethgriffin]

does OP know that its about popularity. and not actual level of play. its a business and the lakers/kobe are 2 of the absolute biggest brands in the entire universe.

and they just added jeremy lin for god sakes. a chinese player whos actually talented playing on LOS ANGELES... this will be even more crazy than when he played on the knicks.


if anything the lakers should have more. like around 40

[Optimus Prime]

Haters so mad. I thought the Lakers were irrelevant? That Kobe was done and nobody cared about them any more? :confusedshrug:

:kobe: Rent free :kobe:

[JellyBean]

:facepalm :facepalm

Yeah. Like my Timberwolves!! But don't hate on the Lakers because they are still the "Big Ticket"!!

[wakencdukest]

And your fanbase is...?




Some shitty team probably. :lol

[AnaheimLakers24]

stay butthurt fgts :lol

lakers run this bitch

:facepalm :facepalm
Uh... the Lakers will get blown out in less than 5 of those games (barring another major injury).

[UK2K]

J Lin on National TV! :banana:

(Would rather have the Warriors get 28 games though)
Lin will be the western conference starting AllStar PG.

How embarrassing. We had this discussion last season when we thought Lin would make the ASG as a 6th man, and how awkward that must make him feel making it over much more deserving players.

[FlashDwyaneWade3]

With or without Kobe Lakers will always get televised games. Even the Lakers got a lot of televised games after Magic retired. And the early 90's Lakers sucked.

[OncePerMonth]

Terrible.

[choppermagic]

And you wonder why LA is an attractive FA destination? Geez, that is a lot of exposure.

[beastmode]

FarewellBe tour

[04mzwach]

Once Kobe gets hurt again they will change it, just like last year. :lol
Lin is the reason, not Kobe.

[dubeta]

Damn, the entire world is gonna see kobe's 37% fg season

embarassing :facepalm

[stalkerforlife]

Why are Bran stans mad? All they watch is the boxscore.

:roll: :applause:

[bballnoob1192]

i barely tuned in to laker games last year, but this year i'll be watching even if kobe is injured.

[senelcoolidge]

It was embarrassing and unwatchable how many Knick and laker games they showed last season on ABC and ESPn. Please show good teams. I would have preferred to have watched the Raptors, T-Wolves, Kings, etc..more fun to watch. We want to watch teams that are fun to watch..not boring horrible teams but have large fan bases.

[bigkingsfan]

Can't wait.

[L.A.Hawks]

and lakers will win at least 15 of them..ill take any bets right now.

[COnDEMnED]

I hope we win more than 28 games this season:rolleyes:
I hope we lose every single game. Rebuild fast track with cap space.

[DaSeba5]

It's LA. Same with NY. It doesn't bother me.

The Lakers bring ratings no matter what.

[Timmy D for MVP]

I think the Lakers will be must see tv.

Every night we're gonna tune in to see if Swaggy P is murdered.

I think it's gonna be like an amazing train wreck. My biggest fear is that they'll be perfectly mediocre. That would suck.

:biggums: Not true in the slightest. Their local TV ratings last season were about half of what they were in the 2012-13 season. Nobody wants to watch the Lakers unless they are winning, not even their own "fans"

those teams suck :roll: get over it

[LoneyROY7]

At least they gave the proper LA team more.
