Nothing there either...




Thanks DCR, though that win helps the Suns too.

I thought for the longest time that the Lakers had the worst fans. Cuban has brought out a different monster in Dallas.

Wow.

Maybe if someone could LINK it, we could read the article.

I've heard skuttle on this. He signed some agreement where 8's can't be signed, but that's all I know and honestly, don't know if it's true.

FWIW, I haven't seen anything about it by googling multiple terms (Kobe, Sign, Jersey) under sites or news. Link me.

are you calling jon a liar? how dare you, sir!


:fisticuffs:

 

[D-Dogg]

Well, I haven't seen the article but it appears that Upper Deck signed Kobe to some deal where he can't autograph number 8 jerseys now.

That sucks, for sure. I remember on his site there was video of him signing the last 8 he'll ever sign but I didn't know the significance.

Anyway, it sucks and its business and that aspect of sports is crap...but it isn't like he is saying "no, I won't sign that because now I'm 24" as Jon suggested...he is contractually obligated to do so (and yes, he signed the contract, which is an incredibly poor business decision.). Biggest ***** in the NBA because of that? Laughable.

Haters, they gonna hate.

Niiice.

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes, he is still an ***** for taking the money and screwing over his fans that had spent good money on #8 jerseys.

What about Amare switching to #1?

Amare hasn't signed a deal where he can't sign his old number...at least that I know of.

Yup - and if he did, I would be critical of him as well.

Lakers lose to the Grizzlies 128-118. How can you guys claim you are so good, but get pasted by the NBA's basement squads?? One and done for you guys in the playoffs (if you even make it)

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Relax. They were due for a letdown. I am a Suns fan and "enjoyed" the loss, of course, but if the Suns had lost to the Sonics tonight, which looked possible for half of the game, would you have made the same statement?

Absolutely!!! You cant call your self "elite" and lose to the worst teams in the league

I treat a Lakers loss almost like a Suns win. When the Lakers lose, especially to the NBA's worst, you can hear the wheels coming off in the media. Its titillating, yet refreshing at the same time.

Actually, you can.

If you win a Championship at the end of the season, no one cares that you lost regular season games to the worst squads in the NBA that same year.

I'm sure something like that has happened to the Lakers before, but I can guarantee the same has never happened for the Suns.

Run your smack all you want - - the Lakers are playing much better than anyone expected them to this year, so losses like this are not that surprising, especially with the depleted roster.

Go Lakers !!

What about Amare switching to #1?

He couldn't take #1 when he came into the league because Penny had it obviously.

 

[D-Dogg]

With the two teams leading the league in scoring, and the Lakers having problems playing defense, I wasn't surprised to see them lose. Not happy, but really not surprised. Lakers, for a long time, have a problem playing down to the competition...they've lost to a few of the worst teams in the league already, including the Bobcats.

Phil went with the bench much of the fourth...I think he would rather them be fresh for Houston.

The good takeaway is that Sasha answered his big game on Sunday with another good shooting performance getting 18 points.

Nice to see Suns fans finally make their way in here though...it's great to be noticed.

Thanks for proving you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Wow, so now threads are being moved here. Could have all been avoided with the official Lakers thread being left where it was originally created.

Or having no Laker threads at all

Bandwagon?

Holy crap. You are whiffing like nobody's business. I've been a Laker fan nonstop for 27 years, since I can remember watching games. Bandwagon? I grew up listening to Suns fans blather on and on about the Suns, then disappear for years until the Suns were good again. Bandwagon? You are a funny little creature.

That's funny.... coming from a Laker fan. Nice.

Agreed. The Phoenix area has the worst bandwagon fans, period.
