I guess, no one else is here though doesn't really matter.

I can't discuss this anymore though. Losing respect for you as a Lakers fan hearing this stuff and I like you as a poster a lot. Probably should end it here. I will say this:

Deep3 would be disappointed in you

Edit: forgot to say, I do have a ton of respect for the Lakers, more than any other franchise in the league. That's one way we can't really hate or dislike each other. We're so superior to the rest of the NBA, its hard to care about the opponents history or the history of the rivalry in the regular season, unless its you, because it matters then.

Anyway.

What are the kits being worn on gameday? No highlighters, please.

odd discussion itt

[MaliBrah]

I hate the Lakers and the Celtics. Pisses me off how **** the raptors and how much a struggle it is to win and then to see two franchises with so many titles and great players in their history. Both cities win too much and i'm envious. Only 1 parade in my lifetime in toronto and I was only a couple of months old lol

but back to topic. I think barca wins but I hope juve wins.

[magik9113]

I hate the Patriots. And I'm from New England. but uh yea Forza Juve

Might be time to start a new thread on the Final.

[Rasho Brezec]

I hate so many teams, managers and players it's tough finding someone to root for.

No highlighter colors for us.

Barcelona and Juventus will each wear their primary kits in the Champions League Final.

Barcelona will wear their blaugrana kit, while Juventus will don their signature black and white kit.

Barça wore blaugrana in the final at Wembley in 2011, in Rome in 2009, in Paris in 2006. In the competition in its former guise as the European Champions’ Club Cup, Barça wore blaugrana in 1994 in Athens and in 1961 in Berne. In Seville in 1986 they wore blue and at Wembley in 1992 they wore orange.

Awesome. Should be a classic!

looks like both teams have a chance at the treble. This is going to be good.

Chiellini

Messi's stunning opener in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic: "There's no doubt it was a great goal, but I don't think Messi would have been able to score it in Italy, where the defending is much better than in Spain. They play better football in La Liga than in Italy, but they defend much worse".

Man he has a point right there

Said the guy giving away goals for free in CL by doing a slippy Gerrard.

With Chiellini's form in europe this season that is beautifully ironic.

It is the same thing I thought when I saw it. Legendary goal by best player ever, but, it was defenders just sticking a leg out hoping to not get embarrassed Boateng style.
Evra and Chiellini would not let that happen so easily. Now, I pretty much expect Messi will score a couple goals, but none like that.
Chiellini has been great this CL minus slipping. Bonucci has been the best though. He gets no credit because he's Bonucci lol

We'll just let this go over 100.

Don't tell the boss.

I love bonucci. His passing has been insanely under-rated for years and has been my favorite Juve CB for a long time. Partnered him and Hummels in a draft a few years back to have an unpressable pair of CBs. But Chiellini has had some epic **** ups this CL so it is wonderfully ironic.

Top 5 CL finals of all time? For me:

1. Man United - Bayern 1999
2. Liverpool - Milan 2005
3. Bayern - Dortmund 2013
4. Dortmund - Juventus 1997
5. Real Madrid - Leverkusen 2002

Any early predictions for you folks?
