01.27.13 | that is such a wrong statement I smiled when I read it... |
Trebor.
01.27.13 | I've come across many many people in LA that only watch games during the playoffs, and then they talk the talk like they're the biggest fans ever and it's annoying as fuck |
toxin.
01.27.13 | fuck yeah
ilovetree you rule
dude Trebor you're absolutely wrong, I mean Lakers sold out today and let's be honest they most likely would have lost based on records
I used to care about bandwagoners but idk I just stopped giivng a fuck about other people's fan habits lol |
nononsense
01.27.13 | I agree with Trebor on this one. I've never met a genuine Lakers fan. |
Trebor.
01.27.13 | Lakers sell out cuz rich fucks who don't even give a shit about sports anyway

01.27.13 | you guys are retarded jesus |

01.28.13 | but actually what you're saying is probably true lol
but there are tons of fans who would go who can't cuz ticket costs are absurd |

01.28.13 | do you live in the LA area?
About 15 of my friends are as diehard as me (well I was, sometime during the season they were going for the 3peat I had other things going in my life so I stopped watching)
And that's assuming it actually fucking matters if you're a "genuine" fan I mean it's sports what the fuck |

01.28.13 | maybe you should start watching LA now
last two games:
14 points on 7-10, 14 assists, 9 rbds
21 pts on 8-12, 14 assists, 9 rbds
thoroughly outplayed Durant, who was just brickfest in the 4th. And without getting a call on every drive, it was sweet. |
toxin.
01.28.13 | i'm 95% sure if Kobe did rape the girl he would have gotten away with it anyways, but I still think the girl is full shit. Saw an opportunity for money and took it |

01.28.13 | "Josh Smith for Pau Gasol, what do you think?"
I'm not sure why ATL would agree to that so it's irrelevant. Idk I might be an exception but I love Pau and would hate for him to get traded. Pau for Josh Smith would make the Lakers better most likely though. |

01.28.13 | I'm only rooting for the Lakers to get to the playoffs so they can lose there in more spectacular fashion. The NBA is no fun without credible villains. |

01.28.13 | Clips fans are hipsters. I used to root for the Clips during the Odom-Miles-QRich glory days. |

01.28.13 | ^ sadly true. good for them though, I'm a little pissy they have CP3 but nevertheless, it's good to see the Clips finally winning. I wish Sterling were dead though because that fucker doesn't deserve it |

01.28.13 | I hate the Lakers, but I've been a huge fan of Steve Nash since the D'Antoni days with the Suns, so I'm very interested to see the two reunite and how this whole dynamic will turn out for the Lakers. Like I said, I'm not a fan of the team, but I will be keeping a close eye on them. |

01.28.13 | live in los angeles and hate the lakers with the fire of a thousand suns. season has been excellent for me |

01.28.13 | wow so everyone hates the lakers here, cool
Paperback yeah I know quite a few Suns fans (not sure why there were so many in Orange County... probably more Nash fans) who want Nash to get a ring. Dude definitely deserves one, that's for sure.
lol klap, Clipper fan? Or are you not an LA native |

TMobotron
01.28.13 | Nash is a classy dude.
TBH, for all the hate Kobe gets, at least he never fucking changed his name to "Meta World Peace". Christ what a douche. |
toxin.
01.28.13 | oh yeah klap that's right, we had this discussion before. you hate 'em because of '09 and Howard, haha.
I think MWP is like chemically unbalanced in his head or something (hence the brawl) but I personally don't think he's a douche. Just crazy. |
klap
01.28.13 | kobe came up with his own nickname and recently live-tweeted a rewatching of his 81 point game....can't get much douchier than that |
nononsense
01.28.13 | If I scored 81 points I'd have a live tweeted rewatch too. Sadly, the most I've scored in a game is 19. |
toxin.
01.28.13 | he came up with the black mamba? lol
Kobe was pretty douchey (throwing bynum under the bus in like 07) but I think he's mellowed out a lot. More or less when he won without Shaq it seemed like he got that validation. But maybe I'm biased because he comes to Irvine a lot over summer, either to train or because his daughter gets tutored. So quite a few of my friends have talked to him and all say he's a nice guy, not super friendly but pleasant.
And I have no problem with him live-tweeting a rewatching his 81 point game (was it the day of) but maybe that's just me. I actually think it's kind of funny |
klap
01.28.13 | no, like he just did it last week.

01.28.13 | Whoops, I should have phrased it better. I meant, was it on an anniversary of that day he scored
81(i.e. was it on the 22nd of January of this year and it was).
Either way I don't think it's that big of a deal. First you actually have to give a shit about his
twitter (and seriously, twitter?) and then on top of that, the tweets aren't even that bad. There's
nothing say "Goddamn I'm great." "I wouldn't even pass a kidney stone" is a pretty funny/humorous

01.28.13 | yo its 2013 twitter is huge |
toxin.
01.28.13 | fair enough
i'm not a twitter user clearly so I didn't realize people take it that seriously |
treeqt.
01.28.13 | he recently got asked in an interview if he has ever seen his 81pt game and he said he didnt so that's probably why he watched it now and i think it's pretty cool to tweet about it while you watch it |
SgtPepper
01.28.13 | "Dude definitely deserves one, that's for sure."
I couldn't agree more here, toxin. I really wanted to see him get one with the Suns, during the D'Antoni years- they had a good team going and I really though he was going to be the one to lead the franchise to their first championship. And it's not that I hate the Lakers, that's a bit strong, I just never rooted for them and Kobe has never been someone I liked (though he's a great player). Still, I want to see Nash get his ring, even if its with them. But Nash really needed to get out of Phoenix, it was pretty much hopeless there. |
klap
01.28.13 | there is a 0% chance that he never saw his 81 pt game before. probably watches it every weekend |
treeqt.
01.28.13 | the core concept of a weekend does not really apply to the life of a nba player so I'm not so sure about that |
toxin.
01.28.13 | despite your cynicism I can buy it. While Kobe definitely has an ego, watching himself be awesome doesn't help him going forward so I could see him not really bothering to watch it. Sounds like he watched his game more as a show than ego stroking anyways, especially if what ilovetree is saying is right and he only watched it after being reminded by a reporter.
but maybe it's just the fact that I like the guy so I give him the benefit of the doubt and you don't.
@paperback,
Yeah I definitely know what you're saying. When the Spurs beat the Suns in 7 in 2007 (might have been the 2nd round, might have been the Conference finals, don't quite remember) I think, before that Game 7 I really thought Suns were gonna go all the way. They'd have easily beaten the Cavs, too. It's a shame, and based on how they're playing (and how well the Thunder, Heat, and possibly Bulls when Rose is back are playing), I'm doubting Nash will win a ring with these Lakers. They do have the talent though, so it's worth retaining some hope. |

I still have the 81 point game on DVR. Watched the first half and he had what 20 points? I'm excited for when I watch the second half. |

26. I only know this because I know for some reason he scored 55 in the second half lol
"regardless its funny that like a two game win streak prompted this list in the first place"
says more about the state of the team, yeah, but it's not the win streak. They finally beat an elite team that didn't have a bad game, played like a team, and closed down the stretch. God I don't wanna know how many games they lost in the last 5 minutes of the game |
