Regardless of what happens tonight

You guys did have a great season and should be congratulated.

To be honest it just was a bad time to be a good team but not a great team......this same team last year would have a much better chance at a championship.

Lots of talent on your team......good luck to you.

I hope (but do not expect) that you guys will root for us should we advance tonight.

Your words are appreciated. Nice to seem that there are still some classy sports fans out there.

While I still would rather have NO win it all than the Lakers; I've come to respect the Lakers a lot more thanks to this series. I used to think Mitch Kupchak was a total moron; I don't see how he put this team together.

It's always nice to get a star for pennies on the dollar.
The Lakers were playing well before they got Pau Gasol though, it really falls to the players buying in to Phil Jacksons system. They are honestly one of the best passing teams I've ever seen. Outside of their stars I don't think they have a ton of true talent but they have a great coach who has made them more than the sum of their parts.

Yeah I meant even before Gasol. I think Fisher had a lot to do with. A realiable, veteran PG > Smush Parker.

Yeah, the only thing that I still want to see is for them to step out of the sandbox and into the ocean and stay afloat. I love the regular season for all its ups and downs so no matter what the result it definitely could have been worse.

It can't be that hard for a team like this to make second round though. What's up with that.

You're disrespecting a bunch of Laker fans. :lol:

Good luck ! Someone said it was good to play the Lakers before the series started.

As a Lakers fan I can't lie and say I'm not happy they swept.

As a basketball fan I wish it were more epic series. As a basketball fan I would have liked this to be like the Celtics/Hawks series. It's just a really tough conference to be in right now. I'd tell you to keep Karl, Melo (he's still young and learning), Kleiza and Smith. Dump Camby, Martin and Carter, AI is iffy really... I love his heart, just question his decision making sometimes.
