funny thing espn ran one of those outside the lines news cast bull shits this week. its main story was "when are the lakers gonna be back" like it was famine in somalia? lolol. they only won 6 fucking titles in 12 years

ah me2. i havent made more than 1k in a day for over a year now. fucking depressing

Westbrook was in rose's level even before rose broke his body. He's the same player except he has a jump shot unlike rose. It gets overshadowed because Durant is on the time and we now live in an age where a guy has to be batman, another has to be robin then every other player is alfred and THERE CAN BE NO OVERLAP GODDAMIT.

The 2 best teams in the league should meet in the final, it shouldn't matter if they're both from the same side of the country.

Would love to see a Spurs/Thunder final (and without the conference brackets, that's probably how it would go down) but with this stupid system, it's just not an option

hmm

You must hate nearly all major sports leagues/competitions

Also, lol @ the NBA being the best league in the world

uhhhh what do u propose they do? football, baseball and hockey have same system. But yeah, basketball def the greatest game in the world.

Gasol better be gone next time I talk about the lakers. Not even the two titles he helped earn can make up for the way he has played and the heart he has showed

True

Can't they just ditch conferences and have every team on the same table and when it gets to post season have like 1st vs. 16th, 2nd vs. 15th, etc.?

Mike Brown, Kobe, MItch Kupchak,Lakers GM, Phil Jackson, Lamar Odom and Brian Shaw are trending.

Not that it'll fix anything, but I'd like to see more Goudelock/Ebanks next year though.

Unless the NBA insists on putting them on at 10:30 est. Shit, it's over 10 here when these games end and it is brutal idk how you right coasters do it.

absurd how gasol gets all the heat from u guys. u never woulda won those 2 rings without gasol, not even sniffed em. I hope they trade him to a city that appreciates what he does out there. Not saying he doesn't have flaws, but that's ridiculous to say he doesn't have heart.

Meh idk about Reggie saying "Lakers cant beat the Thunder"

Not a stretch to think it could have been 3-1 LA

Edit--3-2 counting this one

This; I don't want Gasol gone at all. I don't like several things about his personality (As I said before, seems dumb to have to remind him to play aggressive), but it is a huge advantage to have those 2 7 footers in the paint. Lakers weaknesses were at point guard and bench...not sure what they can do to sure that up, but unless we can somehow miracle Dwight Howard AND get a long-term deal in the process with him, getting rid of Gasol or Bynum would be suicide.
