    Lakers up by ~30 at the start of the 2nd quarter. 9 points for the grizz in the 1st. That has to be a record low. LAL will take the series.

    Can’t remember, swore I did 39/40. Regardless I was bashed for it by the forum experts.

    Some say, “okay with mediocrity” others say don’t expect 65 wins and a ring every year.

    Memphis is built around a punk ass. They’re never going to go far because Ja is a terrible leader.

    Lakers won’t even take the game. Grizzlies in 5 or 6.

    I don't hate Steph or anything but I think you should amend it to the Warriors or LeBron. LeBron has got it done in a lot of different situations. Curry has got it done when the Warriors are healthy, stacked and coached by Kerr. When the Warriors have it going they are hard to bet against. When LeBron has help he is hard to bet against.

    Not surprising since everything you've said has never been falser.

    LeBron joined the Lakers in 2018. The Lakers have only won one home playoff game since then. Tonight would be two if they pull it out. His time in LA has been an utter failure. Bubble titles don’t count.

    I bet this forum would count a Blazers “bubble title”…..or a strike shortened season title. You just don’t think when you post bro.

    Of course Blazers fans would....as they should. But due to the Lakers history and the number of titles, some Lakers fans don't really count that one and actually don't like what LeBron has done to their franchise.

    I'm decent friends with a bunch of Laker fans (don't ask), and for the most part they don't like LeBron and while they appreciate the title, they are far more about Kobe and the uniform more than LeBron carpet bagging.

    Very similar to one of my bball bros. He played college ball with a very high NBA Lottery pick, and has been a Laker fan all his life....but find he can't really root for them until LeBron is gone. He LOVES Kobe and the Showtime Lakers from when he was a little kid.

    I never hear a Laker fan say they only have 16 championships because the 17th was in the "Bubble" and Lebron was on the team so it doesn't count.

    Of course they care more for Kobe than LeBron, Kobe was there longer and won more championships.
