Long Summer..Stay involved...Playoffs post Lakers 

Post#1 » by eckoner » Tue May 17, 2011 11:10 pm

We Laker fans are actually pretty well informed and i think of myself as a Laker fan first and an NBA fan second. I think even if our team has been sent fly fishing we should continue to provide that valuable input into the rest of the season.

We are well informed (for the most part..lol) and we should continue to give our input.

As of today i wanna see Dallas go all the way because they have paid their dues and i really dont wanna see Miami, OKC win cause they have only been on the map for a season or two.

I wanna see Miami, Chi and OKC get a few heartbreaks as we have prior to winning..Thanks Charlie

i want to see dallas choke. i want to see miami choke.

i want to see westbrook get the better of rose. i want to see OKC prove that small market teams (now that SA fell flat on their faces) can win rings and that will ensure big market teams aren't dealt as harsh a parity blow as it currently looks...

I apologize for one who identifies themself as a "true" Laker fan.......As you can see we Laker fans come in all different "ages, shapes, colors and education levels.

either West Conf will do for me, with slight favor towards OKC cause I can't bring myself to cheering for the team that gave us the beat down lol. OKC I wouldn't have hestitated to root for them except now they have Porkins and that Donkey Nate on their team, I dispise those two.

Anyone but the Heat.

I like the Bulls, the defense, D-Rose, just how they play overall. Wouldn't mind seeing Rose get a ring to go along with his MVP.

OKC I used to like more, something about them makes me not like them as much. Maybe everyone jumping on the wagon this year, or maybe Perkins?

Dallas I didn't really want to win.. but then thinking about it, I'd like to see Dirk get a ring finally, and Kidd can have his too. Plus we'd be losing to the champs which would be less shameful.

I'd prefer the mavs to win it all tbh.
I think Dirk has done a lot in this league, and he deserves to win himself a ring.
Also if my team were to fall in the playoffs, I would like to be able to say we lost to the champs at least. :roll:

i'd really only like to see the bulls win the title. heat obviously are a no, and i just don't want to see another west team win it. mavs also have that cuban guy that i'd like to see get some heartbreak, and heck on to perkins and a young thunder team taking reign over the west.

I pick the Bulls. Mavs I HAAAAAAAAAAAAATE them with passion. Heat same hate I got for the Mavs. OKC They're young, but wouldn't mind seeing them win the champ.

Overall the people that mostly deserve the championship is D Rose or Kevin Durant. I've always thought Dirk is the wackest player there ever was.

I'd like to see the Bulls or Mavs win it. Dirk is one of those players that deserves a title, Kidd as well.

This. Plus, Rose is the most likeable superstar that's left in the playoffs for me.

I wish we could see the most F'd up Finals ever but truth is the east team will be the main draw anyway. Sad part is that somebody is going to win a title, but like eckoner said it'll be nice to see those teams suffer some heartbreak first. Seems like the winner will just walk into a title this year either way you cut it.

Reason is simple, one team schemed and cheated to assemble it's roster, and the others have benefited from the usual big guns they couldn't beat being put out due to too much playoff mileage.

At this point I'm rooting for the Bulls.

Though if Dallas won I wouldn't be pissed.. J. Kidd deserves a ring and at 38, looks almost certain my dream of him being a Laker ain't gonna happen so he might as well get his now.
Thank you, Phil.
