Two high-scoring teams with no way of stopping each other, and once again I bring up Van Exel. He was too hot in that series finale, and I just feel that he wouldn't have allowed his team to lose.</div> Kings with Webber in game 1 won very easily against a Dallas team who looked out of their depth when facing the Kings frontline.They had no answers for Webber inside.You are basically telling me a Kings team without their superstar that took Dallas to 7 games would not of won that series? that is poor logic.Kings the year before beat the same Dallas team in 5 games with a heathly Chris Webber.Had he played last season I would of expected the same result <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">And I can take Shaq seriously, and he's not just talking out of his ass either....he has 3 rings on his fingers, so why not talk? What can Sacramento talk about but Pacific Division titles? And yes, maybe San Antonio ended the Lakers reign of 3 titles, but we sure aren't scared of them now since they've already beaten them 3 times this year, including 2 at SBC Center.</div> How many rings he has is a poor excuse for what he says.Making stupid comments and discrediting a team that beat his fair and square has nothing to do with how many rings he has.Shaq will never admit another team out-doing his.It just won't ever happen.He will also never give credit when credit is due. You aren't scared of the Spurs? fine...Spurs aren't scared of the Lakers either.Spurs swept Lakers last year in the regular season yet it didn't stop Laker fans getting all cocky by saying Lakers will win the series pretty easily and therefore the title when the playoffs started.

With Webber in the lineup, or without him. Plus even with Webber out, they still won games. They were still dominant. Because they had other guys that were willing to step up their game in a huge way. Well Shaq says stupid comments about people and his opponents all the time. And who would want to give credit to their rivals? I wouldn't do it. But my point on this is champions can talk smack about anybody they want. It's better than not having a ring to show for it. No, I don't fear San Antonio. But I am sure they'll be in for a rude awakening when they arrive at Staples Center for a playoff series. Well if you wanted to call us Laker fans cocky last season, you can't really blame us. Because we had so much success against them in our last 3 championship runs. Why not expect another one?

He played hard but he wasn't the sole reason Dallas made it as far as they did.That was down to the big 3 of Dirk,Nash and Finley along with the hardnose role players Griffin,Bell,Williams e.t.c. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Well Shaq says stupid comments about people and his opponents all the time.

That's kinda like giving your opponent a hand after they get tackled in football. LOL..I never said I wouldn't give respect to a team, because I do, I just wouldn't give respect to my bitter rival. So if I were in the NBA, you'd call me one of those arrogant players, or a so-called bad human being?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post">BORRRRING!! :mrgreen:</div>Yea, watching the two best teams in the NBA go at it is borring.
Thats all Laker fans do when the Kings win is cry. I remeber in game six when they called us Kings fans crybabies. Well look whos crying now. No im not baiting, its just how things change when somebody is in the other seat.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ming637:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm surprised Kings could get the first place spot.</div>Why? I would be suprised if they didn't.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ming637:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm surprised Kings could get the first place spot.</div> Why? They are arguably the deepest team in the NBA. IMO they have the best chemistry as well. Besides, in your sig it says "Never say never" lol.
