Look at the C's causing a stir like Shaq was on the team :lol: I don't know if maybe the meds he's being prescribed have him delusional but it seems to me that KG has been missing out on the playoffs this year. I guess he and the C's are too busy on fishing trips and seminars on properly faking an injury.

I know our boys won't let these suckas win should we meet in the finals next year or in 2011 but what KG hasn't realized is while the C's are getting older, the Cavs & Magic are getting better led by two monsters in LBJ & Howard. Man oh man, how the mighty have fallen hahahaha

KG's ego is out of control. He is a psycho.

So 2010 ANDDDDDD 2011.............. Dam why dont he just say for the next decade while he's at it. I mean how can you make promises like that when you didnt even know how long it was going to take for your knee to heal.
K.G "Ya I will be returning to the lineup next week"
Danny " Are you sure"
K.G "Well maybe next month"
Next month comes around
Danny " K.G you ready to go?"
K.G "Not yet maybe by the end of April"
Danny in May
Danny "Are you ready to go Kevin"
No answer
By the end of May Cs in Florida fishing...............
K.G calls Danny "Hey Im ready to go and I will guarantee you one thing" Danny "Whats that Kevin?"
"WE WILL WIN in 2010 and 2011" "Take my word for it"
All you hear on the phone is 'WE'RE SORRY THE N# YOU HAVE REACHED IS NO LONGER AVAILABE" "PLEASE TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN........... OPERATOR 3674 'WE'RE SORRY THE N# YOU HAVE REACHED IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS PLEASE TRY YOUR CALL AT A LATER TIME"

+1 on that ^. I used to like him a whole lot up until he was corruptly given away by GM Kevin McFail.

Same with Shaq backing Kobe once he is in the Finals against a lesser team, one that he has history with. Lame.

YEA!!! I used to be a big KG fan. I loved how emotional he was and how hungry he was THEN... he got traded to the C's and suddenly... his ego got elephantitis! :nonono:

A healthy Boston could have made the finals.

I wonder if this year's Lakers could beat last year's Boston defense.

Would be a hell of a series. I still want revenge, so if KG's up for it, then let's make it happen.

KG is having a 'Shaq' Syndrome'.. "hey look at me, I'm not in the playoffs but I'm winning the championships the next two years" lol

1. What's the big deal?

-They've got a very good team and KG was an elite player when he was healthy.
-One of the reasons they got knocked out of the playoffs was due to injuries
-Another would be the Christmas Day backhand. (I could link ya if you're interested)


2. The Championship "Guarantee"

-Not everyone can just snap their fingers and guarantee a championship.
-Only a very elite few can say that and back it up; I would know.

IE?
-Examples of ppl trying for that throne and failing this year: "Mo" Williams.
-A few days after I guaranteed the Lakers the chip he told reporters that he guaranteed the Cavs to advance past the Magic with a quote along the lines of, "they can't beat us four times, I don't see it happening, I just can't."


3. KG-
-Btw.. I hope he's fully recovered by next season.
-He's one of the better players in this league and someone I respect on the court.

At full health it's quite the match up. I hope for both teams to return with their Christmas Day rosters of this year except obviously the Radmanovic switch. I want to see Fisher retire and then watch as we utilize Shannon Brown to hunt down, Ray Allen.

If Gasol gets physically even stronger I can see him eventually besting Garnett due to age. An ever improving Ariza, hopefully a rested Kobe, and a still hungry Laker bench and we'll beat them in the Finals next year.

The answer is yes, we would have beat them last year with our current roster. The Christmas Day match up had an improved Rondo with a subtracted Posey. Fair I would say overall. We won that game. We beat them minus Bynum in Boston. They're beatable.

No one has guaranteed 2 like that

I hate guys that make grantees

I hope the media blast JR Smith and Mo Williams next year and periodically ask them "are you sure ?" at the post game conference... they reply dumbfounded and the reporters "well last time you made a guarantee, a promise that you would win it all, you put your rep on the line and failed, now I have a hard time knowing if you are going to back up what you say"

If KG can't back up what he said he is a b1tch

Only b1tc35 make guarantees they can't back up
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

If KG wins at least a single title in 2010 or 2011, then I'm better at basketball than Kobe Bryant.

Well, at least he didn't tell it to the media himself. I hate it when athletes or coaches guarantee they're going to win, it always makes them look like an idiot. Being fired up is great, but I wish they'd just keep their mouth shut and go out and prove it if they're so certain.

The problem with this is that there is no official quote from KG himself. The comment came from the owner in probably an off the record convo, now all the guy did was put KG on the hook for something he won't be able to deliver.
