Bleh

Honestly? I think I'm more sad that I probably wont get to see my Lakers for another year or so. And not having Phil on the bench yelling at motherfuckers and looking bewildered by our stupidity will be sorely missed. Like Kobe said, it's just going to be weird again...

I already kind of miss Phil. =/

I'll go back to lurking now.

Thanks for posting this dude. Brought the lulz and I definitely needed it.

 

[Darkman M]

Mightn't write essays but you sound just as butt hurt.

Not at all i was content with the Lakers losing this series after game 2...

You're proving him right by taking it personal.

Personal? Find a post where i got personl? You didn't see it from me.

 

[The Frankman]

Jason Terry and Dirk straight LOLling and trolling now.

 

[Cloudy]

Way to end the Phil Jackson era.

Fans last year wanted him again, and yep, this is what you Lakers fans get.

When a coach wants to leave, he has his reasons.

I'm glad he stayed to see the consequences of chasing out Farmar for Fisher. If we'd lost w/o him, it'd be all about how Kobe can't win w/o Phil lol

 

[Tom Penny]

Kobe is a disgrace. A top ten player in the league dropping 17 2 games in a row that were both basically elimination games. I didn't think something like that was possible for him. He did chip in an assist and 5 turnovers today.

 

[Ephemeris]

LOL @ Dirk laughing at Terry's comment

 

[dwin45]

incoming ridiculous and miraculous lakers trade for some super star.

Bynum for Howard.

 

[Omiee]

off to bed, have to prepare for next few months without any lakers basketball and maybe even a lock out incoming

Your posting reminds me a lot of the Laker game I just saw.

Yours reminds me of your favorite basketball franchise.

 

[charsace]

I can see the lakers trading:

Artest
Bynum
Gasol
Odom

for

Arenas
Turk
Dwight

Its a long shot, but wouldn't surprise me.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Mavs need to get a ring this season.

Dirk, JT, Kidd, Marion... all those guys deserve at least one.

Whatever stupid shit he said he didn't insult you directly.

Take it easy.

fuck that

 

[The Frankman]

did Terry just say the Lakers bench is "up there" as one of the best benches in basketball??

HE TROLLING HARD.

Would surprise me. I don't think otis trades Dwight until he sees the new CBA.

 

[SamuraiX-]

HE TROLLING HARD.

He's actually right though.

They probably have a Top 5, at least Top 10 bench in the NBA this season.

 

[charsace]

fuck that

Magic aren't going to just give you Dwight. One of the teams will end up rebuilding. If it isn't going to be the Lakers then it will be the magic, but they can't if they are still playing turk and arenas. You don't just get a guy like Dwight for free.

 

[Duki]

dwights getting franchise tagged as fuck guys

theres no way he gets traded unless magic are total morons

lakers fans on fumes

 

[dream]

Has there been a Black Mamba sighting since tipoff?

Is he okay?

 

[Blackface]

If you are trading Dwight, it's to blow up the team. You aren't going to be better without him unless you get someone equally as skilled. Unfortunately, at his position, there is nobody close in the NBA.

Otis isn't going to trade for a bunch of old guys, or just for a scrub like Bynum. He is going to want picks, and young up and coming talent.

 

[SamuraiX-]

DON'T TELL THEM THAT!

mavs are just lucky shooters and the lakers are just tired man they needed a nap

The poster or the player?

Was thinking the same... Have not seen him posting since the game started.....

yesssss

moooore

Well you can't win every year. But the thing about the Lakers is they win even when they lose. Dwight is coming here next year, book it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't buy any of the Pau/teammate/GF drama people are trying to create. Pau's been playing this way for the better part of the regular season. He just didn't look right, either fatigued or had some injury he didn't tell anyone about, or he just is past his prime. Next season will be really telling for Pau. Make or break. But make no mistake hes not getting traded.

 

[The Frankman]

He's actually right though.

They probably have a Top 5, at least Top 10 bench in the NBA this season.

After this series it's hard to say that with a straight face...

EDIT: BRANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL

These are just pipe dreams Ninja and I like to play sometimes, Lakers getting Dwight is a long shot let us have our fun.

You are so still getting my vote for Troll of the Year.

Lakers are done, get over it.

I'm behind Dirk now.

God I love playoff basketball. Playoff anything really, but these guys grind it out hard. Hoping for Bulls over Mavs.

Otis gave Rashard Lewis $120 million and traded for Vince and Gil...do you think HE thinks Bynum is a scrub? He's a horrible GM, would it be a stretch that if he thought he was losing Dwight, he might think he could swap him for Drew and maybe get a couple more playoff runs out of this expensive roster in Orlando before having to blow things up and lose his job?

 

[Shadow780]

Where did i insult him?

Not insult my bad, you were posting about how dumb his act is. Which by responding just encourage further dumb arguments.

You sold me after the first sentence.

WTF are you trying to do dude? You already jinxed their series, are you looking to fuck up their off season trades as well?

You sicken me....

Huh? Pau was a top 15 player this season until the entire Lakers team went to shit near the end.

I don't think Otis can be that fucking dumb. He has to realize that if he's forced to trade howard then Arenas and Turk have to packaged with him. Dwight has the most value in the league imo. Someone would have to eat shit (Turk and Arenas) if they wanted Howard and I was GM.

 

[Basileus777]

Denver showed that you can still hold out to the trade deadline and maximize value. Why are people assuming that Dwight is getting traded this summer?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Ok, ok.

First off, congrats to Mavs-Age (Brandy, you can come back now). It wasn't a fluke, you guys got us. We didn't come to play this series and the Mavs were the better team.

Now, having said all that, good luck as well going forward to

Grizz-Age (bgassassin, jjasper)
Thunder-Age (KingGondo, TylerD)

Czzz-Age (sanjuro,frisky,tom penny, and maybe dream)
Heat-Age (Cerrius and Pheeknicks)
Bulls-Age (SephCast, TheGreatMightyPoo)

I honestly don't care or have an opinion who takes it at this point.

I wish you all equal luck.

Enjoy the rest of the playoffs.

P.S. Yes, the Bynum foul was dirty. I would never defend that kind of behavior.

 

[Pkaz01]

All this dwight to LA talk reminds me of the Knicks. Congrats Lakers you've stooped to a new low.

 

[THRILLH0]

Has anyone pointed out that Barea threw the first elbow on that play?

Bynum was completely out of order and should receive a lengthy suspension but Barea's an asshole too.

 

[SamuraiX-]

The Mavs are

Spoiler

Kobe's rings -1

-0 since the end of the Brandy era.

 

[Blackface]

Huh? This is Laker tradition. Here is how it goes for the Lakers

1. Steal a HOF player from another team
2. Draft a HOF player

Win for the next decade.

Lakers eventually get their man.

And don't have to tank for 10 years to do it.
