Game 10 Lakers(6-1) Suns(8-1)

[Biff]

No chance at beating the Lakers eh? So I guess the Lakers are going 81-1 for the season and are incapable of being beaten? The one loss must have been a fluke?

[lilfishi22]

Personally, I can never take Laker fans serious. It's just SO easy to root for a team that has historically been the 2nd winningest (championship-wise) team in the NBA. In a big market and in an area that attract stars, you can almost expect a championship sooner or later. It's like playing roulette and instead of playing the slots with a lower winning rate but with higher payout, you always bet on red because you're always going to win.

Hey i do give the Suns a whole lot of credit for being 8-1, not taking that away. But you do have to realize that you guys havent faced a team like us yet. This is not trash talking it is facing reality.
let see
Nash>Fisher
Kobe>Richarson
Bynum>Frye
Artest=Hill
Amare<Odom
I know this is not how you compare teams, but even without Gasol Suns are overmatched. period.

OT: Hey sherkin, I expected that "IATL" post to be blocked. Just sayin. I'm lol'n though.

On Topic: Oh **** here it comes. Let's hold our tongues.

[BurningHeart]

Jesus, I hate Laker fans.

Tonight is contingent on X-factors Goran Dragic, Jared Dudley, and Lou Amundson.

I agree. What's the fun in rooting for a team that's won a million championships? Other fans that fall into this category:
Celtics (although whoever said it was right, they weren't douches to us about the game. They whined on their board but at least they didn't bring it over here
Patriots
Steelers
Yankees

Especially when you've never lived there. That drives me absolutely nuts

[ATTL]

1. Odom is not better than Amare
2. Dallas is better than the Lakers, and will sweep the Lakers in the playoffs. With your logic, of course.

Don't get me started. Every "NBA" fan here in Australia just happens to be a Laker "fan." Probably because we only ever get highlights of the only team Australia has ever heard of.

EDIT: Oh yeah and I'd have to put the Celtics in there too. It's funny how all of a sudden you see more people wearing Celtic jerseys and when you asked them about it, they says they've ALWAYS been a fan. But where was the jersey and the green when the Celtics was sucking pre-Big 3?

[luvnba]

I cant stand those bandwagon fans either. We have alot here in California.

[PHXfan85]

Then they have a hard time answering that question because their Celtics jersey is a KG jersey.

amirite?

[lilfishi22]

I can understand if you're a KG fan and you bought the jersey because you're a KG fan, but don't say you're a Celtics fan just because it's hot to be a Celtics fan this season.

You guys, by all means are aloud to be suns fans. Its hard finding actual suns fans in Phoenix who are as dedicated as you are. If I had a way to watch NRL, I probably would. I've seen a couple games televised here and it was freakin awesome.

I saw a kid with a Kevin Martin Sacrament jersey on yesterday. In Denver. I wanted to give him a high 5. It's either Nuggets jersey's (quite legal), KG's(ummm...), or Kobe's(...No....).

[lilfishi22]

It is HARD to be a Kings fan, but those who were there before their playoff run in the early parts of 2000 and still stuck around now, they are real fans. You gotta give them props.

The only jerseys I ever see over here are Kobe, Lebron, Melo and Celtics KG.

[aIvin adams]

i was in s america in january and the only nba gear i saw the whole time was a suns hat.

[tsherkin]

Real Kings fans where Mitch Richmond jerseys.

[lilfishi22]

I'm not a big NRL fan but I do prefer NRL over NFL. I've watched a few games of NFL over here as well and it just seems too structured. Too many stops. NRL is a very quick game, like basketball.

Just a general pre-game advisory: please resist the urge to go over to the Lakers board and stir up ish. A little trash talk is all good and fun, but don't troll, don't start flame-wars, etc.

[lilfishi22]

I don't have time to chat to Laker fans who are as fake as the double D's they have out in LA.

[Jimmy76]

Damn Bynum is gonna be in this one

was hoping for a Mbenja start (all respect to the guy but he isnt as good as Bynum)

we should also keep Hill's offense to just spot up shooting tonight he isnt going to be able to post up Artest

[lilfishi22]

DJ did a good job filling in for Bynum. Hopefully Bynum stinks up this game
