Minnesota ain't that good.

Lakers should be opening the season with a nationally televised contest against a real basketball team. They still have Kobe Bryant, and they are still the most popular team in the NBA. I would hope that being that this could be Kobe's last season that the association would do all it can to celebrate him and his Hall of Fame career and feature them on as many nationally televised games as possible. Opening the season against a scrub team like Minnesota is total BS if you ask me.
Lol....how ? The dude isn't a scorer or a guy that puts extreme pressure on your defense. I saw this comment from you on maybe your forum or somewhere but I don't get how Rubio is a tough match up for D-Lo right out the gate. Sorry but it's not...keep telling yourself that though. It's not Rubio is some sort of defensive wizard either, pretty sure D-Lo and Clarkson will have their moments against him. It's not going to be some one sided fantasy you're making yourself believe.urinesane wrote:Don't forget about...
If he's 100% it's a hell of a tough match up for Russell to start his career.[/spoiler]

I can tell by your postings you're very young....probably just started watching ball maybe 5-10 years ago, but in what world is Rubio the best defending PG ?urinesane wrote:DEEP3CL wrote:Lol....how ?

He's one of the best defending PGs in the league and probably the best pure passer in the league.
You wouldn't know much about that outside of your Laker fan bubble of delusion though, would you?

No...we know what to expect.urinesane wrote:You may be surprised by the Wolves roster you see opening night...
Oh please stop with this BS...yeah the Wolves are heading in a good direction but in no way they're leaps and bounds above the Lakers or any other young team on the rise. The Laker future is just as good if not better than everybody if you want to be real about it. I mean we'll be armed with the most cap space of any team for the next 2 years, enough money to offer up to 3 max deals.urinesane wrote:The past means nothing and the Wolves are currently in a much better situation to compete in the future than the Lakers.
And you don't think the Wolves will be do you ? I mean by the looks of it we have a way better shot than your boys do. All your veterans are old as me and I'm older than they are....bottom line they can't play meaningful minutes anymore so they'll have minimal impact on games.urinesane wrote:You don't think the Lakers will be competing for a playoff spot this year, do you?

Dude has NEVER made an All NBA Defensive team yet, talking about delusion and fan bubbles.....you're lost in your own sauce. Dude not only am I a Laker fan but I got knowledge on all of the NBA teams and their history.
I can take you to school on this if you want to go at it kid.
