    The most annoying fan I've encountered was a Warriors fan. He's the only fan I've ever been tempted to give the finger.

    Fun fact:

    Lebron has never lost a first round series in his career. 13-0. Seven of those series have been sweeps.

    It's all been in the East, but still. The closest he got to losing was the series in his most recent finals run in 2018 with the Pacers taking him to 7 games.

    Don't tell me, tell LeBron. He's the one who's going to suffer. He may have to retire.

    He shoots 33 percent from the 3 and he he takes 3 per game. Now overall he 50 percent and that's good.

    To afraid to wear them vs Blazers. Still, having nightmares about losing to us on Kobe night. They should just wear them against us. We are the Lakers and Kobe's biggest rivalry. It only makes sense.

    The Lakers are the Blazers biggest rival. But they don't give a shit about us, we aren't up in the top 5 of Lakers biggest rival.

    I posted on this a few months ago http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/return-format.356030/page-4#post-4958712

    The Lakers have lost more recently in the playoffs to the Spurs, Thunder, Mavs, Celtics, Suns, Pistons, Spurs, Spurs, Jazz, Jazz, Rockets, Spurs, Suns. Then the Blazers in 1992 when Magic retired and they didn't care about basketball. Two years prior they lost to the Bulls and Suns.

    You have to go back to 1977 to find another playoff series the Blazers beat the Lakers.

    The Lakers think of us basically how we think of the TWolves.

    I would love to see Dame change that.
