Lakers aren't dominating like people thought If it wasn't for the chokejobs by Bucks and Spurs they could easily be 3-4 right now.None of the top 5 west teams have played great basketball yet.
It's the talk we were hearing from the typical "Lakerfan" that many of us know. Heck, many here were blerting out winning 75 games, lol. Amazing how when the Lakers do lose, that these fans are not anywhere to be found. Anyway, yes they have looked a lot more lazy and slow in these losses, is it the age? Is it the desire? Who has seen these games? Lets hear it, fill me in.
no where to be found? if any other team that is a championship caliber team lost two straight(the spurs) nobody talks about them?
Yeah no one is talking about the Spurs because they are playing without Tim Duncan. Remember him? League MVP oh yeah thats right. The Spurs almost beat the Lakers without Duncan I give them crazy respect for that. Do you think the Lakers could beat the Spurs without Shaq? I don't think so.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post"> Amazing how when the Lakers do lose, that these fans are not anywhere to be found. </div> What are you talking about you insane fool? I'm right here. I don't see any "missing" Laker fans. It's amazing that you don't realize that every team will be gunning against the Lakers. Everybody wants a shot to knock off the Lakers, every night. Nobody said it would be easy, and it's only the 2nd loss of the season.
None of the top west teams are playing great basketball...thats a fact.However the Lakers have the most pressure by far...If they don't do well or lose alot of games and not the title..People will talk how dissapointing they are.They are expected to win it all...and dominate.Some fans were talking 72 wins..Which is competely stupid I know...but they have been predicted to get 65-69 by many so called experts as well.So any loss by L.A will get everyone's attention Thats just the way it is.
