The Kings won a championship.... before the name change.
[QUOTE=Kobe24]I never seen you say one positive thing on the Lakers but yet you hang around the forum like you're a regular. Typical Mavs fans. Cry like their "superstar" and owner.
:cry:
Maybe next year.[/QUOTE]
I've said positive things. Just not stuck in a delusional LaLa land like most Laker fans like yourself. I see that team for what it is, below average.
Pretty sad that I've been more active there then "true" Laker fans like yourself.
Last part of your post makes no sense. Nice try at humor chump:violin:

That just shows you have no life. Why spend more time than Laker Fans on their forum, just to hate? Must be the insecurity.
How are the Lakers below average when they were a top 10 team recordwise last year. They also beat the Mavs 2-1. And Bryant outscored your whole team.
Mavs fans are so bitter after they lost the Finals. :cry:

I post on a lot of forums, not just the Laker one. I have an opinion on a lot of the topics on it, so I post in em. Doesn't mean I don't have a life or I'm insecure, just that I can use my brain for being something other then a mindless groupie like you.

Typical Laker fan. Focus on the small things and ignore the big picture. Forget what everyone else does, because the world revolves around LA. Theres a reason you have Dallas on the top of your rankings child.
1. Miami
2. Dallas
3. San Antonio
4. Phoenix
5. Detroit
6. New Jersey(Maybe 5)
7. Clippers
8. Denver
9. Cleveland
10. Houston

How's being a top 10 team focusing on little things you *********? Until the season is over and the Lakers are not a top 10 team, your arguments hold no ground Idiot.
[QUOTE=Targus
1. Suns... I firmly believe Amare is come back strong and better than ever simply because his desire and hunger... when you sit out as long as he has... not just is physically ready... emotionally nothing other than the best is good enough
2. Heat... Wade will have another amazing season leading the champs
3. Dallas... as close as they were last year... they're expected to go far
4. Spurs ... These guys are always there... what can u say... expect Parker to step his game up a lil bit this year
5. Bulls... wow... good job in the off season... but honestly... the bulls are good... but lets not get too carried away with them just yet... it's going to take a lil while for them to put things together... for sure it's happening this season... but probably not til right before all star break where they are the dominating team they can be with Big Ben
6. Detriot... lost Ben... but it's not over yet... Prince is probably gonna have a strong ass season... they still have a lot of weapons... i'm sure RIP is working out like crazy for next year
7. Lakers... Kobe... damn... what can you say... minor knee surgery but should be nothing for him... i'm more worried about Lamar... losing a son is nothing small... if he's not there emotionally it's gonna be a long season for him... dont forget about the new shooter... clipps got jacked baby
8. Clipps... Great season last year for them... but I dont know how much farther they're gonna go... I kinda expect to see them end up somehow with that LA playoff series but I dont see them winning it
9. Rockets... T-Mac and Yao... Yao is getting a lot better, Finally puttin things together. With the addition of Shane... this team will hopefully step up on Defense and make the playoffs... probably kickin the Kings out
10. Orlando... yeah D. Howard is showing up this year... just like last year... but probably even better. Damn it's like ever since he got dunked on by kobe he's changed for the better.. but hey its a good thing for him. He's going to lead his team... plus look at the division... other than the heat they really have nothing to worry about
[QUOTE=Zombles]1. [B]San Antonio[/B] - They can't win 2 in a row, but they're very good at coming back and winning one. Manu and Duncan being healthy will impact the team more then people think.
2. [B]Miami[/B] - Defending champs. Getting older & older though, and faced arguably the weakest of the West's big 3.
3. [B]Phoenix[/B] - WCF two years in a row, injuries both years shut down dreams of rings. Amare coming back is huge. If they stay healthy they are my favorites to win it all.
4. [B]Dallas[/B] - They've made a lot of lateral trades, I think the only reason they got to the Finals last year was because of Phoenix and San Antonio's injury problems. Still pulled off gutty wins against both teams, the Mavs go as far as Dirk will take them.
5. [B]Detroit[/B] - Losing Ben Wallace was big, but Nazr will help and McDyess should get a more prominent role improving the overall offense. I don't think they'll contend with the lost defensive presence, but they are the team I imagine facing Miami in the ECF.
6. [B]Houston[/B] - T-mac & Yao are the best inside-outside combo in the NBA at this point, if healthy. Battier was a good pick-up, Head and Alston shined at times last season, they are still horribly thin up front.
7. [B]Denver[/B] - It's all about health, losing Leonard one year and Nene the next they still were 45+ wins. JR Smith helps their outside shooting woes and Melo has never looked better.
8. [B]Cleveland[/B] - They were one rebound away from the ECF. Larry Hughes's health is a big concern, they were a much better team with him last year. The emergance of Verajo and to a lesser extent Pavlovic gives them added depth.
9. [B]New Jersey[/B] - The trio + Kristic is enough to be a top Eastern team. Marcus Williams is a great pick-up, should give Kidd enough in the tank to go all-out when it matters.
10. [B]Chicago[/B] - They will be the best defensive team in the leauge, but still have no go-to-scorer. Should have trouble winning close games. Could pull some major upset in the slowed-down playoffs though.
God damnit I forgot the Clippers. Put them somewhere in the 7-10 range.
[B]Clippers[/B] - Elton Brand easily had his best year, Cassel/Mobley proved great signings, Livingston had his best year, Maggette seemed to accept his new role. I'm not sure if they will get much better, but last year they were good enough to beat Denver and push the Suns to 7, albeit both teams were injured.[/QUOTE]
dallas got that far cuz their good
[QUOTE]Phoenix - WCF two years in a row,[/QUOTE]
If you're going to say that Dallas got to the finals because of injuries. Then at least admit Phoenix got to the WCF due to seedings.

That's true, last year Phoenix wouldn't have beaten Dallas or San Antonio with the Raja Bell/Kurt Thomas injures. They lucked out on the dumbass divisional seeding system.
Seedings are better this year. But you still have 3 teams fighting for 2 spots. Going to be another great 2nd round matchup somewhere.

Outscored a whole team but couldn't muster more than 3 points in the second half of a Game 7 against the worst defensive team in the league.
Because he tried to get his teammates involved. It wouldn't have mattered how many points Bryant would have scored because they were down by 20 and couldn't stop them on D, at that point, trading baskets doesn't help you. You need to lock them down on D and get back in the game with team play, common sense, no? :rolleyes: I bet you if Bryant had 40+ in that game you would have said he's a selfish ballhog and that the Lakers lost because he didn't stick to the Lakers Gameplan. Haters are so predictable. :violin:
