2105223, Adopt a Laker Fan
Posted by haj20, Mon Jan-07-13 04:15 PM
Man, I feel for you guys.
Even with all your crimes against humanity, its hard to see you guys like this.
I don't know if anyone else is willing to offer some of you amnesty and take you in, but I'm opening the border across the Staples Center hallway for you guys.
No questions asked.
2105235, I will be happy for the Clips.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Jan-07-13 04:20 PM
I won't root for yall, and I certainly am not joining the bandwagon, but I'll be happy for them.

Still mad as shit.

But Ronny, Caron, Lamar, and CP3 are all former Lakers so...I can be happy for 'em.
2105242, lmao

>and CP3 are all former Lakers
2105963, Im there too
Posted by mrshow, Tue Jan-08-13 05:57 AM
CP3 is such a talent and class-act that I could never begrudge him getting a ring. I'd rather The Clippers than the Thunder for damn sure.
2105238, disappointment is one thing, but no laker fan should feel down
Posted by justin_scott, Mon Jan-07-13 04:21 PM
we've won or been to the finals so many damn times.
2105241, Sorry I never buy this...it'd be one thing if y'all we're rebuilding
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jan-07-13 04:22 PM
But y'all still building to win now.
2105275, rebuilding/still building/building crumbling
Posted by justin_scott, Mon Jan-07-13 04:43 PM
either way, we just won back to back not long ago, and we will win again soon enough. i hate losing seasons, but i can deal with it esp after having seen the lakers win the 8 titles in my lifetime (10 actually, but i was too young for '80 and '82)
2105243, I still feel down as fuck dude.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Jan-07-13 04:23 PM
2105250, It is what it is fam, you move on
Posted by LA2Philly, Mon Jan-07-13 04:26 PM
This season is over, clearly. We have to set our targets on re-signing Dwight (and he most likely will, all things considered), getting a decent return for Pau's expiring contract, and filling Jamison's roster spot with a decent wing player.
2105258, Yeah.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Jan-07-13 04:30 PM
I just...goodness those expectations were so high.

Ugh.
2105276, the main thing for me is seeing dwight re-sign.
Posted by justin_scott, Mon Jan-07-13 04:45 PM
i still hope they can manage a winning season tho
2105240, Fuck that. Respect to the Clips but please pile on the Lakers and the fans
Posted by LA2Philly, Mon Jan-07-13 04:22 PM
Shit comes with the territory.
2105244, It's true.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Jan-07-13 04:23 PM
I wouldn't dish it out if I couldn't take it.
2105281, Eh, there's no joy in partying over injuries.
Posted by mrhood75, Mon Jan-07-13 04:48 PM
If there'd continued to lose with everyone playing, that's one thing. That would be fun and entertaining for the whole family. This? Nah, man. It's going out with a whimper. I mean, they weren't looking so hot for the limited time that everyone was playing, but there's no way in good conscience I can extrapolate that out to an entire season (plus, they woulda bamboozled someone for Pau and "injected new life" into the team). Best anyone can do is say, "Well, they shouldn't have built their success around a bunch group of injury prone and soft and/or mentally weak players. I mean, I'm fucking with my Laker fan friends right now, but this is just kinda sad.
2105318, lol they've been injured the entire season though. This is what it is
Posted by El_essence, Mon Jan-07-13 05:14 PM
to be a fan. You hand out and catch Ls. My steelers got got this year too. It's been all bad.
2105989, plus, this isn't my chosen kobe narrative
Posted by bshelly, Tue Jan-08-13 08:38 AM
my chosen kobe narrative is him gunning them out of the playoffs against a younger, faster team. that's good clean American fun. this is just sad and anticlimactic.
2106333, especially when he's actually balling the fuck out 17 years in nm

2105245, There's a seat on the Lin/harden/rox bandwagon for a certain LA fan
Posted by Cenario, Mon Jan-07-13 04:24 PM
2105256, might as well move from one best sg to the next lol
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Mon Jan-07-13 04:28 PM

2105885, have some perspective
Posted by D_Tox151, Tue Jan-08-13 12:22 AM
most fans don't get to experience 5 championships in a lifetime, let alone a decade...how can they even fathom what it is to be a laker fan at this point
2105387, Firing your head coach 4-5 ganes into the season is usually not a good...
Posted by ThaTruth, Mon Jan-07-13 06:36 PM
sign to begin with. Changing coaches during the season almost never works in the NBA or any other sport really. Even if we had brought in Phil I have doubts if could have installed the triangle on fly with this group without Tex and some if his other assistants. Honestly I think Phil kinda lost touch with the team that last season and I'm not sure things would've been different for another go around. In his prime Phil's biggest strength was his ability to connect with players and I think he gradually lost that over time. When he took over the Bulls he was only like 10 years removed from being a player so he was able to relate to those guys. Plus today most guys would rather use their smartphones, tablets and laptops for other things besides reading books. The last image of Phil in my mind is when we were getting swept by the Mavs and he was yelling at Gasol and Gasol looking like "yeah, whatever". Vintage Phil was always in control.

Oh btw, fuck the Clippers.

TRESPASSERS SHOT ON SIGHT. SOMEHOW THEY MISSED SEV.
2105425, Like we would live in that shithole of a city
Posted by ZooTown74, Mon Jan-07-13 07:37 PM
Actually, I know that the alternate dumb jock universe of OKS wants it to be the opposite, but we actually like LeBron (and it didn't hurt that Riles got him to come to Miami), but it's the silliness of more than a few of the residents of Lebronon that's a turn off

Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Jan-08-13 12:43 AM
but everything is personal and something to bitch about and/or correct with you.
2105957, Well, that was... sensitive
Posted by ZooTown74, Tue Jan-08-13 04:22 AM
My bad, Ralph Tresvant, continue on with the OKS in-jokes and side jabs
