2011 NBA Playoff

[Marilyn. 340]

not sure why you have to try and make it personal it is only a game... and yes the Lakers sucked..it was like they were a totally different team this round...and what the few players did was totally uncalled for and very unclassy...

For those who want to see what LOSERS look like:

This isn't excellence. This isn't a championship team. This is pathetic is what it is.

Of course I see our resident Fakers fans aren't here to say a word about it or the series since game 2.

You can talk a lot of ####### about "choking" and "winners" but then can't man up when the time comes to do so! Typical.

The good part is the shot went in.

[The Dude 206]

Oh and Rob, the FAKERS are LOSERS. PATHETIC LOSERS. Odom and Bynum proved that.

Bynum needs to be fined and thrown out for 2 weeks next season. Disgusting piece of trash.

A championship team does NOT act like that. A FAKE city with a FAKE team. DONE.

A fake team? A fake city? You really are delusional, or ignorant. This is why you are roundly mocked on this forum Paul. You seem to be incapable of making even a single posting without perpetuating stereotypes or just a blunt insult. You have never been to Los Angeles, but all the political talking heads that feed you your talking points say it's a liberal mecca, so you follow in lock step. The lakers (and their fans) are frustrated. They didn't play to their capabilities. Lets be honest, outside of the point guard position, nobody on the Mavericks would be a starter on the Lakers. The Lakers should have won, but that is why you play the game. Dallas played a much better series, the better team won that day. You really have a lot to learn about winning championships though.

Winning championships takes one of two things. Either store bought players and fans, or heart. One of the teams has one, the other has the other. Granted their salary line isn't that far off, but at the end of the day Mavs fans care about their team. Lakers fans are bandwagon fans. That's why they are called the "fakers." People like Jack Nicholson excluded because they've shown in good time and bad times that they support the team. While your "fake" fans were booing your team at home, Jack was standing up and trying to clap for encouragement. THAT is a real fan. That is a WINNER.

You can have 500 trophies to every other team's 0. However if you have no heart and if you have no true feeling towards it other than entitlement, then you are the real loser.

Championships aren't everything bud. Not in the least.

The mark you leave when you win, the mark you leave when you lose, that's what makes a winner.

Clearly, the Fakers and their fans don't get this, with very few exceptions.

Only a fakers fan would think that they should have won that series. Only someone blinded by the 'entitlement' mentality would think that. Stop and look at the end of the season, stop and look at the record. They were no better and they were even struggling at the last part of the season. Hell, even in the first series it wasn't all roses. So to say they should have won, to say they should be 3-peaters, is completely dishonest and proves that fakers fans have no real scope of the game other than the linear view right in front of them. Trust me, I know. I see it all the time with Cowboys fans as well. The Yankees have the same reputation in the MLB also.

Ok, let’s get this straight for all you BANDWAGONS basketball fans. The series against Dallas/Lakers is that Dallas outplayed & outhustled the Lakers. Fine, Dallas was a better team this series, and I can accept that. Bynum’s foul was punk a$$ & dirty. But let’s not forget the Lakers went to 3 straight NBA Finals. That’s a feat very hard to do in this era with free agents with more younger & talented players.

You can’t win every year, but the Lakers have shown (consistently) that they are always the favorites to win the championship year after year. Dallas can’t say that (not even a Finals appearance besides 2006). They choked in the 2006 Finals against Miami & have never been anything except for a playoff contender. All you Dallas bandwagons & fair weather fans now come out the woodworks and talk $hiT because they are going to the next round are funny & stupid.

For all the Dallas REAL FANS, let prove to all of us this series if you EVER EVER EVER will be winning a championship beside San Antonio and Houston Rockets from the State of TEXAS. Then, come back next year to continuing this topic with us.

The only people who call the Lakers 'Fakers' are ignorant, uneducated fans of teams that have no championships. You've never been to a Laker game, and yet you're willing to stereotype them all as fake fans. Sorry paul, but you're wrong, on all accounts. Just take a look at the Lakers roster. How many players on that team are bought? Just because we have a competent owner, who spends money wisely and has invested in the front office to scout players better doesn't make them store bought. The lakers have had problems all year long, motivational problems. It wasn't at the end of the season Paul, they have been up and down all season.

Championships aren't everything? The mantra of a losing sports franchise.

If you look at the teams on paper, the lakers should have crushed the Mavericks. I don't think the Lakers were entitled to a championship, but I felt they were the most talented team, and should have played better. However, like I said before, that is why you play the games..... Yes, the Lakers struggled in the first round, but got by. This has been a problem since phil jackson took over. We were used to them snapping out of the mediocrity after the first round then smashing everyone. Game one against Dallas didn't surprise me, but 2,3 did. After they lost the first round, I thought, we have a much more talented team, they should snap back and win the rest. But it just never came, you never saw any drive. To their credit, dallas smacked the lakers in the mouth in game 1, and never backed down. The better team in the series won.

Seriously paul, if you stopped calling people fakers, or whatever you have deemed the appropriate insult for the topic at hand, you might actually get real responses.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Seems the Lakers fans are a tad upset. LOL.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

So the ©HEAT move on in the East to the finals...

OKC is up 3-2 now ove Memphis in the west after a commanding win last night.

the Bulls will probably advance ahead of the Hawks unless Atlanta pulls a Rabbit out of their hat..

I ultimately see the finals being:

OKC or Dallas vs. Miami

[tallcoolone 102]

Speaking of irrelavent #######, hows that mullet coming along. From the pix you posted, you look like you're about ready to go to a monster truck rally!!

Mullet is coming along well, Thank You. And Yes I am growing my hair out.

Mullet was cool in the 80's, I figured I would re start that fashion trend....

[tallcoolone 102]

I am offically on the Dallas BandWagon this year.

I watched them back in the 80's when they were starting out. I did go to 1 home game this year when they were on a 13 game winning streak only to see them get beat by the Bucks

Glad they finally got past the Lakers

Now let see if the can make it to the Final and hope they don't flake like the Rangers did in the World Series......

[Obama 2012 1,714]

Game 1 Mavs v. Thunder = Great Success!

Game 2 of cHEAT vs. Bulls tonight. Going to be interesting to see if Miami can come back after that game the other night to try and tie the series.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Miami definitely tied it but because James wanted that game badly. Chicago is a good team but lets see if they can win a couple in Miami.

Looking forward to the OKC- Dallas game tomorrow. Nowitski is on fire and I don't see OKC stopping him. They need to maybe try to stop the rest of the team and maybe have a chance.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

What a grueling game last night... How the Mavs pulled that one off if beyond me, especially after the game spent a good chunk of it being 8 v 5.

4 1/2 minutes left, down 15 points and they go on a 17-2 run. Unbelievable really. End up upsetting the Thunder 112-105.

Series 3 - 1 Mavs now! - I'll gladly take it!

At this point, it's looking like Mavs v. Heat 2... unless the Bulls pull off something grand in tonight's game.

There are some good games happening though all around.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Looks like MAVS v cHEAT 2!

Let's GO MAVS!!!!!!

[luckytxn 2,264]

Excellent game. OKC is a young good team. Think they learned a lot from this series. Like for instance not to taunt the other team, especially a really good team. Even if one wins it is best to best to be gracious. Youngsters need time to learn this. The fat lady sand with those two 3's at the end.
