So, Howard tells Rockets he wants a 3rd superstar?

Uh, the person that said that is raptor4life and he doesn't have the Lakers in his teams under his avi, this would seem to indicate that he is not a Laker fan, moron!! It's comments like this that show that Laker fans are in your head and kill your credibility even among Heat fans!!

Also, only fans whose teams have no history claim that history doesn't matter!! Past history is a good predictor of future actions. Since the Lakers have so many championships in their past history, it would be a good indicator that they will do what is necessary to win more in the future!![/



You don't find it foolish that beaten down Laker fans to try to preach history lessons and compare histories when the franchises were born 41 years apart?
Is it really wise to compare a modern expansion team to a team that won a championship 66 years ago while beating up on the Oshkosh All Stars, Tri City Blackhaws, and Rochester Royals on the way to a title?
Do those wins make you want to chest thump?

Say what you want, but the biggest fan base by FAR to hate on the Heat are Laker fans?

WHY is that?

What I find foolish is that you have spent so much time posting about a team that you say is irrelevant and will be for a long time and whose fanbase you claim is full of a bunch morons, that you feel you must make it about that team and/or their fanbase even when it isn't!!

I'm not one to worry about how many championships the Lakers have vs. other teams (except Boston, I want to catch and pass those bastards!!:lol:) However, as I said, past performance is a very good indicator of future performance and the Lakers championship history indicates that they will be back in the hunt sooner rather than later.

And trust me, if the Heat are fortunate enough to develop anything close to the championship history that the Lakers have, you'll be on some thread somewhere talking about the Heat's championship history because you will understand the importance.

The 2012-2013 Heat is a top 30 team. Teams don't win 66 games and go 27 game win streaks often.


Exactly. The Heat certainly were not at their best during the Finals, but they still found a way to win 4/7 against a team who dominated their way through what everyone agrees was a very tough Western Conference.

My band wagoning that I was referring to is in soccer for monetary reasons.

I have always said I enjoy watching great basketball being played. I am not sure that is my own way, surely others must enjoy good basketball?

Soccer?!? That explains ALOT!!:lol:

Whatever. I have read your posts tonight and while I 100% respect your right to share your opinion I disagree with most of them.

Every Laker and Celtics team? Seriously?
Based on what?

In one breath you say those other teams are better, but in the next breath, you call the Heat a " super team".
Do you now understand why what you said makes no sense?

The Heat are a super team in this eras NBA

They wouldnt be in the 80's 90's or other eras.

The first time Lebron bitched to the refs the next play the opposite team would give him a real reason to bitch.

The Heat have been to the finals for 3 straight seasons, and won back to back titles. I don't know if they're top 10 all-time in championships teams, but they are definitely top 15 and I'd say no worse than 11 or 12!! They might even be top 10!!

66 wins and a 27 game win streak combined with the above is a pretty strong resume whether I like them or not!!

The 2012-2013 Heat are not a top 30 team? What are you smoking?

The hate is real here.

And yes the Spurs did choke away G6 but the Heat still had to make 2 huge 3's in the final 20 seconds of that game.


im not going to count back... but i know there arent 30 teams that have made it to 3 straight finals and back to back champs. if he doesnt think the heat are top 30, fine. we will keep hanging banners.

I would lose sleep too if I thought blackballing Howard to teach him a lesson meant anything other than I'm just a jealous hater.

i'd lay even odds the Lakers of the turn of the Century would've whipped the Heat in 6, possibly 5(Shaq/Kobe years), 2009/10 teams I think could've done it too(might've had a small chance to go 7). Pistons of '04 were a VERY cohesive group, though not as talented. that would be possibly a 7 game series imo and might've gone either way. '08 Celtics? NO WAY IN HELL...


sorry, Turnip. YOU can believe the Heat are the greatest team in the universe if you'd like. no one else has to buy it...

Why would they leave if they already had multiple superstars on their team? Does that make any sense?

The 1999/2003 Spurs does not beat this Heat team. The 2008 Celtics does not beat this team. I can go on and on.

You're basically saying every Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls team beat the heat because you hate them.

You are confusing me with others.
When did I say those things about the Lakers?

I believe my quote from a couple days ago was "most storied franchise ever".
I did say before last season that I thought they wouldn't be near as good as most predicted, but only a fool would think they won't be back.

I do think it might be a bit longer then many Laker fans think, especially if Howard leaves, because if he does, he is setting a precedent that we have never seen before. A top FA center shunning the Lakers because he feels the Mavs, Rockets or Warriors have a better 5 year window to win championships. New ground for sure.
