quite honestly on the Lakers end of things i'm pleased with the direction they're going...

beats what Short Buss was doing by a mile...

I thought Jimmy Boy did a fine job w/ the Lakers.

beep, beep :shortbus:

the fact you would let your PERSONAL bias against a guy that could pull the Lakers out of the worst era in their history- a guy that is EASILY one of the most dominant players in the HISTORY of the league- shows how much of a loser you are.

he personally hates gilbert- gilbert personally hates him- has not stopped him for playing for gilbert for years and years and years. he wont walk away like all stars like durant and george ditched the dustbowl of OKC for greener pastures. this is home. No one wants to play in a fly-over shithole like OKC their whole career unless they can turn it into their own personal stats playground like RW.

yah i am sure you would prefer a 7th straight season without a playoff victory and being a laughingstock and the biggest newsworthy person in your organization being a lloudmouth father of one of the players. lol...enjoy. sounds AWESOME...sign me up for that shit over watching LeBron make game winners anyday....

I mean--- who wouldnt choose being a laughingstock and listening to Lavar Ball roast the coach and team in the media over watching LeBron James put on historical performance after historical perfromance and sink game winners left and right?--- GIVE ME LAVARR!!!! ITS JUST PURE BASKETBALL--- NO WAY DO I WANT THE GUY WHO TEAMMATES CALL THE BEST TEAMMATE THEY HAVE EVER PLAYED WITH . lol.

totally....not winning a playoff game in 7 straight seasons and watching my team with no hope get their brains beat in in the west is practically the same thing as watching a team get to the Finals and have moments like tonight.....i mean- theres no difference...both are losing seasons right? lol. gmafb.

how many chances did the Raptors have with a tied game in game 1? its just the difference between having the greatest player of all time (or 1B to Jordans 1A) and having a collection of soft choke artists that shit all over themselves when it matters.

LeBron hits those shots--- your Raptors shit all over themselves in FEAR of LeBron. Thats the difference in this series.

LeBron has supreme confidence and gets the job done....Your Raptors are literally SCARED and poop themsleves when it matters. Thats why you never had a shot and will NEVER EVER FUCKING have a shot as long as you run into THE KING.

everyone with a brain did.

Indiana was a tough matchup and would have beat quite a few teams in the playoffs....Indiana was playing great ball, had great chemistry, made some great adjustments etc.....any other year they win a playoff series to cap off a great year....they were unlucky and ran into the King.

the Raptors just dont match up well with the Cavs in the first place, and are literally afraid of LeBron. The PAcers were not afraid of LeBron. Makes a huge difference.

You'd do well to remember that you are on a short leash.

Same here. I don't like the guy, but I didn't like Kobe either.

However, my "like" for the Lakers being relevant and winning titles outweighs my "dislike" for any player.

In short, whether I like you or not, if you can help the Lakers win...welcome aboard.

Beween our love for food and all things Lakers......I love you, bro.....

What do you think @Retroram52 would think of it?

My guess would be that he'd feel about the same as you and I. From his posts, it seems like he is perfectly happy with the kids and prefers to stay the course and see if they can develop like the Warriors.

But I also know that he's a die hard Lakers fan and if they, for example, manage to land Lebron and PG...he'll be fine with that as well.

Cranky old cuss....I'll never run across his lawn.




*Remembers fondly our play by play on Laker game threads when I started on tHoop*






















Kidding, @Retroram52!!!!

He also put me in my place a few times when I was being particularly ornery and I noticed the mod status below his name.

:bolt:

I've actually enjoyed the vast majority of his posts since his return. Hopefully, a reminder is all that's necessary.

Same here. Even said as much. Not that he commented.

I give props when it's deserved. He knows the CBA and it's intricacies like nobody else I've encountered.

Really not sure why folks keep questioning @ChiefsLakers67 about his stance on Lebron possibly joining the Lakers.

He's maintained his opinion on the matter literally since the first Lebron to the Lakers rumors started years ago and has never wavered.

It's simple, he doesn't want him on the team. Period.

He still be a Lakers fan. He might cut Lebrons face out of any Lakers pictures and likely won't be buying any Lebron t-shirts or jersey's. But he'll still be a fan.

Personally, I don't particularly agree with it, but I understand. Btw, I know a couple of Lakers fans who don't post here who have views very similar to CL.

lol No. Assuming it was you, we were behind you. The Mercedes was already leaving. Wasn't close enough to get a look at the driver.

If I had seen someone getting into the car, I probably would have walked over or pulled up and said something.

Ok. Would have been cool to stop and say hi and chit chat for a minute.

And I'm not really even talking about teaching......youngsters just being around a guy like James rubs off. The competitiveness, the drive, the desire, etc.

think i'll look at Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. a little while longer to see if that's true...
