    Drafting a bunch of bad players is a great way to tank. Then you can draft more bad players.

    Weren't we on a 7 game losing streak earlier this season?...We're barely any better than LAL.

    With 2:48 left, Dallas was up by 53, so to get it under 50, they didn't score again.

    Harrison Fuckin Barnes was the only Maverick with a bad line. 27 minutes, 3-12 FG, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 turnover, 6 points.

    So, after three straight years in the lotto, with two second picks and one seventh pick, the Lakers are nowhere near being a contender? Tell me more about this "tanking" plan.

    But if they tank for 20 years straight, they may eventually get a historically-great superstar. That's the Cleveland plan. It's too early in the process to judge.

    Now that arrogant Laker fans are learning humiliation, when do we get to throw stones? 15 years ago when ESPN had message boards, the ESPN Blazer board was harassed by bitterly jealous Laker fans who said that Bob Whitsitt had created a good team only by overspending. Years later, they jealously controlled the national media's opinion of LeBron. Do we have to wait till the Lakers dominate the national media again? Obviously, you attack those arrogant fucks at their weak point, not their strong arrogant years.

    ideally when they cant say "STFU look at your payroll and record." - we arguably are (definitely) still overspending.

    if we can shit on them, sure, do it, but it isn't from a great height..... we're pretty much in the stall next door to them at the moment.

    You have conjured up possibly the most repugnant image in history. Me in the stall next to a smelly Laker fan while he farts and shits. To make it worse, I bet he's trying to play footsy under the divider.

    Oops...hi, King!

    It's hard to drum up any hatred for such a shitty team. I'm glad they are shitty though. Luck the Fakers!
