    He was a Trail Blazer and not a Laker.

    I note that THE HCP did not risk using a contraction here. Intimidated by the DOG.

    They aren’t “far and away” better than Miami.

    Hah! Hardly. I've just always thought Dwight was a bit of a douche nozzle.

    I agree, he is. But this feels like normal trash talk to me, and sour grapes from laker haters lol

    I put the Lakers over/under on total losses for the rest of the playoffs at 2. Also what the playoffs have shown us is that the East was nowhere close to the West this season and that's why the Raptors and Bucks feasted and got to those regular season records. I guess we'll just have to sit back and see what happens going forward. Oh and for the record if I'm erring one direction or the other it's overestimating the Lakers not underestimating the other teams... I just think the LeBron/AD duo surrounded by the role players they have is a great team and they just didn't turn it on until the playoffs started.

    Probably “asshole-ery” would be a better spelling choice.

    How exactly do you measure "betterness"? Far and Away, barely or noticeably.....I don't care HOW you measure it, they are better.

    He is, but Murray talks as much smack during the games as anybody in the league. Dwight shouldn't be doing that though since HE wasn't the one that won it!

    “Far and away” better, which is what blazerkor said, would imply no team is even close to as good as the Lakers. I find that to be False. Miami has played just as well as the Lakers. And the Nuggets aren’t far behind.

    Until you figure out a way to measure all those factors, I'll just stick with they are better.
