09 NBA Finals- Lakers Vs Magic series thread

[IAWarnerFan]

So, where was the Magic in Game 1?

 

[O]

LMFAO! Haters gonna hate.

by definition

I'm just stating a fact.

By definition, the last time I checked, it was a team game.

I guess we'll see.

 

[IAWarnerFan]

I mean really, did they even bother to show up for this game?
Lost by 25 in game 1?

You are a classic hater. Whatever Kobe does, you will change the rules. If the Lakers had lost, you'de be all over Kobe 'the choker', he 'can't win without Shaq' etc.

When Kobe leads the Lakers to a blowout win in The Finals he's a 'ball hog'. LOL!

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Here's a thought - when Kobe caught on fire (almost literally) Phil Jackson expertly advised his team to "Give it to Kobe."

There's a reason why Phil Jackson has all those championships.

I appreciate being called classic, I really do!

What do you know about me and my Kobe posts?
When have I changed the rules?
This is my mantra: Kobe has extreme talent; still a punk!
Have I ever called Kobe a choker?
Have i ever said Kobe couldn't win without Shaq?
Bottom line, and you can quote me on this; Kobe is a punk, always has been, always will be!
From a hater to a bandwagoneer!

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

That was way too easy for the Lakers.

I still cannot fathom why a Lakers fan in the midst of watching his team dominate in an NBA Finals game would waste his time rubbing it in people face on a Phoenix Suns board. Your team is dominating and on there way to probably winning a title. Am I jealous? Heck yah I am jealous. I desperately wish the Suns were playing for the title right now. I don't take anything away from the Lakers, cause they are proving to the world they are the best team in basketball. I hate them more than anything in the world, but I can admit they are the best. But I still do not understand why you waste your time gloating in a Phoenix Suns forum. Why not celebrate with fellow Lakers fans?

 

[IAWarnerFan]

FWIW I wouldn't mind having that 'ball hog' on the Suns.

 

[D-Dogg]

It looks like Kobe is going to make it all about him.

And why shouldn't he? I mean, if a guy drops 40-8-8 in the ECF and his name is LeBron, the media and fans will slobber over you. If he drops 40-8-8 in the Finals and his name is Kobe then it is "all about him." Freaking idiotic and ridiculous.



Haters, they gonna hate. Dude isn't around to get your freaking love and adoration. He isn't your buddy movie co-star. He's trying to win titles. I appreciate it.

 

[D-Dogg]

Because a lot of them are douchebags?

 

[DieHardFromMO]

I am sure it is just me but I find it very irritating to watch that Nelson with his mouthguard sticking out of his mouth all the time. Does he think it is cool or something? I think I would have to deliver a Kobe elbow to his chops and tell him to either keep it in or take it out.

Did I slobber over LBJ?
Kobe is not a team player nor is LBJ!
Does that make me a hater? So be it.,
Maybe you should re-evaluate your thinking?
Without Kobe where would your beloved Lakers be?
Are you a Lakers fan or a Kobe fan? Why do you root for the Lakers? Because of Kobe? Because it's easy?
Nothing to lose?
Bandwagon?
I've said it from day one. I've got no dog in this fight.
Yet, I'm a hater.
I state facts, Kobe is not a team player and he's still a punk.

Yeah, those are all "facts".

Here's a 'fact'. Kobe had a game-high 8 assists.

Just as annoying is Kobe walking around or even playing with his jersey in his mouth.

 

[D-Dogg]

Irrelevant.

Kobe is not a team player nor is LBJ!

Yes, they both actually are.

Without Kobe where would your beloved Lakers be?

Are you trying to make a point here? Because they damn sure wouldn't be in the Finals.

Are you a Lakers fan or a Kobe fan?

Lakers, as always.

Why do you root for the Lakers?

Because the man who raised my father, my great uncle, and I used to talk on the phone about the Lakers, his favorite team (my dad grew up in Long Beach) all the time when I was a kid and I hero-worshipped Magic growing up. It has been the longest love affair of my life, with different "partners" coming into and out of my life over the years. It's like being a swinger with the same lover...like banging a schitzo I guess. I love them all the same, and all for different reasons. And yeah, that dickheaded, arrogant cold blooded assassin named Kobe, I love that ***** too.

You have a better argument for why you even care about a player not on your team so much to hate him the way you do Kobe?

 

[D-Dogg]

I am sure it is just me but I find it very irritating to watch that Nelson with his mouthguard sticking out of his mouth all the time. Does he think it is cool or something?

It is pretty dumb. What is the point? Really odd.

The MOP really played him entirely too much...I love it. Didn't think he'd play at all, but then they burned him at both ends...no clue why. Killing the chemistry, IMO...and, he's gotta be beat tonight too. You don't go off the shelf to NBA Finals ready so quickly. What was his +/-? Couldn't have been good. Double digits minus, at least.

I wasn't talking about you. I was simply pointing out the redundancy in his statement. Settle down.

-19
Lewis was the most negative with a -26, Pietrus was -23, Turkoglu was -20, and Howard was -19 as well.

 

[O]

Yeah, those are all "facts".

Here's a 'fact'. Kobe had a game-high 8 assists.

Eight assists.
Wow!
A guard, albeit a SG with 8 assists. That's impressive.
Team player!

Well put and the Magic player with the most was Nelson with 4 assists.

 

[D-Dogg]

You know what the S in SG stands for, right?

8 dimes is impressive.

Give it up, O. Your haterade runneth all over your pants and it looked like you haterpeed yourself.

 

[O]

Irrelevant.

Did you not call me out on that?

Yes, they both actually are.

It cost LBJ for not being one. Time will tell with Kobe.

Are you trying to make a point here? Because they damn sure wouldn't be in the Finals.

I think you just made my point for me.



Lakers, as always.

So you would admit that Kobe, playing for anyone else, would be a punk?

Because the man who raised my father, my great uncle, and I used to talk on the phone about the Lakers, his favorite team (my dad grew up in Long Beach) all the time when I was a kid and I hero-worshipped Magic growing up.

Actually the schizo referrence made me laugh and I can relate more than you can ever imagine and much respect.

That being said Kobe has immense talent and I never said he doesn't.
Yet! The man is a punk.
Example. T.O. or Larry Fitzgerald?
Both with great talent. Who do you appreciate more?
Who do you equate Kobe with?
