<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">I said people like you..Basically very arrogant fans who think their players will do no wrong. Jackson and Bibby are a great duo..both can score in bunches...what exactly is wrong by mentioning them two? Divac flops yes..but he is still a good vet who still gets the job done inside and on the boards.Miller is having a GREAT season...scoring,rebounding getting assists..Divac actualy plays Shaq the best anyone can at that position. Stopping Shaq isn't the key..Never really has been.It's stopping the other players...Bibby and Jackson are pretty much too fast for Payton...in the playoffs you should notive Gary's age show...Christie is a very good defender...Peja likely is the best shooter in the league.I'm not going to bother going over the Kings chances against L.A...But they do have a very good chance at beating you in a series even if you don't want to admit it...If Webber comes back strong and Peja keeps playing like a superstar and only that. I'm done here....You have a great team but thinking you are unbeatable and no one has a chance against you is just plain stupid.As if you do somehow do not get the job done then The letdown will be a painful one.Just like last season.</div> Sure will be a let down, and a dissapointment to not win it this year. Your not giving me valid points why the Kings have a chance against the Lakers. Your naming me the basics. Only time will tell, I'm done with this topic.

Absolutely ridiculous.
ok, I just read this whole thread and although Purple N Gold was a bit cocky about his lakers, i gotta say that u guys (Allnet and TB76) are picking on him, and ya'll baited him into an argument. I mean no disrespect to you guys but it wasn't like he was badmouthing the rest of the league. I just get the impression that Puprle n Gold is just really excited about this team, and rightly so. I'm just saying... Anyways, Lakers were once again impressive. They've beaten San Antonio twice, Indiana, and Dallas in their last 4 games so they deserve some props. But keep in mind, it's not how you play now, but rather how you play in the playoffs. Tonights game proves NOTHING for the lakers, becasue as Shape had mentioned earlier, the Lakers own the mavs. You really can't ignore what the kings have been doing also. They do look really good, but it's hard to speculate whether they'd be able to beat the lakers. The reason is because its going to come down to how they matchup against each other. The lakers always seem to struggle with the Kings balance (as well as their own imbalance). But this years laker team is different, so we'll see what happens in time.

Yet they have not played the Kings. That shows bias in his statement right there, because the Lakers have yet to play the Kings. The Kings are arguably the hottest team in the NBA right now, but because he hates them, he doesn't think that they are capable of beating LA. Nothing personal against P&G, I just dislike seeing bias in posts.

Hey Dee Nice Avi Can you guys stop arguing and talk about the game this isnt the Jerry Springer show <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DALLAS, Dec. 4 (Ticker) -- Don Nelson is used to seeing his team getting beaten by the Los Angeles Lakers, but this one was too hard to watch. Shaquille O'Neal set the tone early and had 25 points and 19 rebounds as the Lakers rolled to a 114-103 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, who were outplayed in every phase of the game. Los Angeles has won 46 of the last 51 meetings with Dallas and the end of its dominance is nowhere in sight as it has perhaps its best team since the 1980s with four superstars in the starting lineup -- O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Gary Payton. </div> Full Recap Box Score

I just don't think any team in this league has a chance against the Lakers right now, is that being biased?

If I truly thought the Kings could beat the Lakers, I would come out and say it is going to be a good game, which it probably will anyway, but I just do not think the Kings can touch the Lakers right now. If you see that I'm biased in this post then oh well, I don't think thinking your team cannot be beat by any team in this league is being biased, it's confidence in my team. Because obviously if they start losing, I'm going to hear it from you guys. :mrgreen:

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting VAs Finest:</div><div class="quote_post">Hey Dee Nice Avi</div> Now there is a time for being nice and a time for being honest. This is not a time to be nice, lol. BTW, Malone showed that he is still a dirty player for nailing Nash in the face. No it was no accident either. I can't respect him for doing stuff like this over his entire career, not knocking his achievements or ability. I just refuse to respect a cheap shot artist.
^^Actually KJ, I think VA was poking fun at the fact that Dee is using that avatar because she lost a bet.

What a game displayed last night by my team, the Los Angeles Lakers. From the start to the finish, the Lakers never lost their lead, and they played with consistency for mostly all of the game. But I will give my pros and cons about this performance. In the first quarter, the Lakers did as expected. Gary payton jumpstarted the offense, and made good decisions with the basketball, and they were just scoring baskets at an easy pace. The Mavericks just didn't know who to guard. And you know what? I can't blame them because you have 4 Hall of Famers on the floor that can easily take over the ballgame, who can you guard? I felt Shaq had his way for the whole entire ballgame. Nobody could stop him. Dallas had so many defenders on Shaq, it was crazy. Antoine Walker, Shawn Bradley, Danny Fortson....and they couldn't do a thing. They just watched him looking helpless. Karl Malone was very aggressive on the boards. Especially on the defensive rebound stats. He was a force in the paint. Kobe Bryant also played a decent game. I wouldn't say great, but he played well enough to help his team win. He penetrated to the basket, dished off assists to his teammates, and he was just the Kobe all Laker fans are familiar with. Now for my cons: I think they gave Steve Nash too much freedom to roam around. I remember I said LA had to shut down their offense on the perimeter, but the Lakers just gave Nash an easy time. He scored 30 pts. Even while Nash was on fastbreaks, he still managed to stop and pull up for an open 3 pointer, and I felt the Lakers could've done a better job by shutting him down. Another thing....Karl Malone. Karl malone has a habit of swinging his elbows around from time to time, but it was pretty disgusting to see Nash get clocked in the chops by his elbow. He really has to look around and see where the opposing team is because to me, that was tough to watch even as a Laker fan. I wanna point out one last fact on last night's game. Who saw Antoine Walker just stink it up? LOL
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Purple N Gold:</div><div class="quote_post">Because obviously if they start losing, I'm going to hear it from you guys. :mrgreen:</div> Believe that You'll hear it from me, but it won't be directed at you individually. I'll make the statements to Lakeshow fans in general.
