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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I want you to post that exact post here in about 2 weeks. I already see what's coming for the Lakers.

I take it you didn't watch the Nuggets at all in these playoffs. Oh well, too bad for you.[/QUOTE]

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.

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.
I'm 100% sure the Lakers have NO CHANCE against Orlando

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.

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.

[QUOTE=Lamar Doom]Do you think a healthy Luol Deng would have affected the outcome of the Celtics/Bulls series?[/QUOTE]
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.

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

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