Too bad you only have 11 championships

There weren't two Lakers teams in the NBA. Only one continuous one. KC Kings became Sac Kings, same thing.

I didn’t know Minneapolis was the second name of Los Angeles :lol:

I gotta be honest, it is gonna be real hard to watch the Finals, real hard. Cannot stand LAL winning and really dont want the heat to win (a lesser of evils kinda of thing)

Living on the west coast for so long, it's insane to me that people can still be charged with anything marijuana related.

I'll go lakers. Crowder essentially changed the course of Hayward's career and the Celtics from that point on with the injury. That dude CANNOT have the last laugh.

Antetokounmpo vs Leonard in the Finals, just as I predicted.

Watching Herro go to the finals first before Tatum is gonna hurt.
Watching Crowder and Olynk go to the finals before Tatum is gonna hurt.
Hope we learn from this and get up next season.

I actually don’t mind this Heat.

I wouldn’t begrudge a Jimmy Butler championship at all.

KO was a fan during much of the playoffs. Jae is solid but he's like a journeyman at this point, he is on the ride but he ain't much to talk about. Dude is 30, all those seasons of a headstart, he should have made it before Tatum. It would only hurt if they were on Tatum's level while getting there first. Really the only thing I don't like about KO is his ego, it isn't big enough. Jae, I don't like what he did to Hayward but it's not really that much of a negative since no one involved thinks it was intentional. if the man with his foot sitting where his ankle should be doesn't blame him, there isn't anything I can be angry at Jae for.

Can't even hate the Heat like I would want to! I wouldn't have been able to hate on Tor either. Philly, I would have hated mainly because of Horford. Tired of it only being one team (with LBJ) that I can hate on these days. I didn't even get to have a real hatred for the lakers the last few years as I can now, they didn't matter. It also sucks that LBJ is a good guy. Sapsucker needs to be crappy at all times, so I can truly have good and decent hatred for him! Oh, I don't like him and I "basketball fan hate" him but it isn't like the good old hate I had for MJ back in the day (part of that is older and hopefully wiser). :banghead:

Agree. I can't hate the Heat either. They deserved it.

yeah, yeah, yeah, they played hard, Spo's a good coach, etc, etc.

But, you can and should hate the Heat for one reason: Riley.

You're welcome Shak.

Funny part is, if anyone wants to check threads from last year before the Davis thread, half of the Lakers fanbase hated LBJ. Now he's a GOD and he's better than Jordan.
