[FischerKing]

so BIM and C-Mike got into it on MSN Messenger.

Mike Olbinski says:
hi
Shawn says:
halla all my peeps
Mike Olbinski says:
man, that was QUITE a game last night...eh Bim?
Shawn says:
"whitey" in the hizzouse
Mike Olbinski says:
LOL
Shawn says:
bim must be on mute
Mike Olbinski says:
probably hating life today
BIM says:
dude - it is so funny the importance suns fans place on a lakers game...it's not vice versa...lol
Mike Olbinski says:
whatever
BIM says:
it's like the cards and the cowboys...their fans could really care less about any supposed rivalry
Mike Olbinski says:
it's a division game you twit
Mike Olbinski says:
any division game is huge
Mike Olbinski says:
that it comes against Kobe "I don't need Shaq" Bryant is even better
BIM says:
right, but from your perspective it's "the hated lakers" and from mine it's "oh, we're playing the suns"
Mike Olbinski says:
that's fine
Mike Olbinski says:
doesn't matter, we beat your team twice so far
Mike Olbinski says:
soon we'll be the hated Suns to you
Mike Olbinski says:
wow, Suns #1 in the West, holy crap
Mike Olbinski says:
Lakers 9th seed
Mike Olbinski says:
long season ahead, lol
BIM says:
nah, it'd only happen if you passed us in titles and i don't see that happening anytime soon...the only team i hate would be the celtics
Mike Olbinski says:
yawn
Mike Olbinski says:
just like a yankees fan
Mike Olbinski says:
got nothing now, so have to go back to the past
BIM says:
past = a finals appearance last year...yours = 11 years ago rotfl
Shawn says:
zing...
Mike Olbinski says:
still living in the past
Shawn says:
*keeping my head down*
Mike Olbinski says:
i'm talking about TODAY
BIM says:
yeah, i forgot how important the regular season is to you guys
Mike Olbinski says:
sigh
BIM says:
lol
Mike Olbinski says:
should be important to you too, mr. 9th seed
BIM says:
seriously - what is a great team to you? if it goes 63-19 and brings home no title...was it great?
Mike Olbinski says:
it was a great team
BIM says:
9th seed would be a better draft pick...lol
Mike Olbinski says:
lol
BIM says:
the lakers have yet to put their projected starters in a game together
Mike Olbinski says:
NBA playoffs should be like baseball, 2 division winners, 1 wildcard...
BIM says:
suns have been pretty healthy
Mike Olbinski says:
Malone aint playing this year, who else you got
BIM says:
divac (flopper)
Mike Olbinski says:
rotfl
Shawn says:
dude - you guys need to move this convo to the Ye Olde Smack Shoppe thread.
BIM says:
brian grant only playing sporadically
BIM says:
who named that place anyway?
BIM says:
lol
Mike Olbinski says:
lol
Shawn says:
actually - i may cut and past this chat
Mike Olbinski says:
do it
BIM says:
in a cyclical argument regarding a team with zero titles and a team with multiple titles, it's nice to finally be on this side of the argument
Mike Olbinski says:
yawn
BIM says:
cards got nothing
BIM says:
unless you go back before we were all born
Mike Olbinski says:
good, let your past of a ton of titles hold you over until the next one...in the meantime, we're 2-0 against you this year
BIM says:
i'd feel comfortable playing the suns in the playoffs if we make it this year...we've proven we can play with them
Mike Olbinski says:
and lose
BIM says:
close games in which we had huge leads
Mike Olbinski says:
and lost
BIM says:
so, since we're living in the present - should we just crown the suns now?
Mike Olbinski says:
well, it isn't time for that yet
BIM says:
they have to look this good now - that way it rips your heart out when they choke (again)
Mike Olbinski says:
lol
BIM says:
who does whitey pull for in hoops?
Shawn says:
anyone that's winning
BIM says:
rotfl
Shawn says:
*bandwagon*
BIM says:
c'mon socal
Mike Olbinski says:
lol
Shawn says:
no - i think i follow the suns because i've never watched or followed b-ball until i moved to phoenix

Keep telling yourself that.

 

[Mulli]

Are the Lakers even the best team in L.A. anymore?


Since the Lakers have so many more titles that just about everyone else, why do they even bother with fielding a good team now. They can just sit back and talk about how great those championships teams were.

Nah, we've got the hated Celtics in our sights and we're going to pass them someday!

Go Lakers!!

Well I'm not a smack talker and I respect Lakers team but the injury thing... LOL do you really expect 80 y.o Vlade Divac to handle Amare Stoudemire? I do think without Divac they gave Suns 2 of the best games this year but Divac won't be much of a factor unless refs want Lakers to win and Divac flops for 6 charges called on Stoudemire. Suns would still have a chance to win though.

I do think Lakers COULD beat Suns (not sure if they will) but the injury part doesn't really matter unless IMO - Bryant, Odom, Butler, and maybe Cook (gives Suns fits) are out, and/or Lakers lose quite a few players and aren't too deep going into game.

Divac won't be able to stop pick'n'roll with Stoudemire or run court but I guess he does get a lot of calls - Hunter's length and quickness SHOULD give Divac problems as well.

I'd worry more about Chris Mihm being healthy during a Suns/Lakers matchup, Brian Grant could give Suns fits with rebounding but has never been much of a scorer and can't guard Stoudemire (no one really can). I do think Stoudemire's weakness (if he has 1) is defense and boxing out - Grant's shots from offensive rebound would get thrown out though from Stoudemire, Marion, and Hunter


I'm not really trying to talk smack but I was suprised about injury comment - you seem to be a really cool Lakers fan, you're probably pretty close with Mike though so - my brother constantly teases me about his teams (bandwagoner).

He has liked LOL - Bulls, Cowboys, Steelers, Lakers, Yankees... I could go on but my leg is getting sore.

 

[Gee!]

Im just wondering why bim considers the celtics a rival?



Oh I forgot he is a lakers, cant expect too much from him.
