I never said it isn't possible, (not logical dosen't mean impossible) nor did I say it was logically impossible. I said (or rather, implied) that logically they won't win it. Remeber the definition (Based on earlier or otherwise known statements, events, or conditions) I'll root for the team till the end. Do you think the Houston Texan fans think logically their team is going to win the Super Bowl? Of course not, but they'll still root for their team hoping that they'll go as far as possible (which actually is winning the Super Bowl).Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMIf you do think they have even so much as the slightest chance, grab that and run with it.That's EXACTLY what I'm doing. Like I said, I do beilive they have a slight chance, they're in the playoffs arn't they? Or else like you said "What's the point of being a fan and rooting?" I just don't expect them to win it all. That's asking too much of the Lakers right now.Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMYou know what I'm saying?Yes.Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMPeAcEPeace.LOL. You miss the point...A hardcore Kings fan wouldn't proclaim that the Spurs are gunna win the championship (even though it is looking like the most likely scenerio), especially not on a public message board...Part of being a fan is rooting for your team and believing in them 100%...You think Phil Jackson or Jerry Buss would go on TV saying they think the Spurs would win it all? No...So why should we as fans? If you admit you're not a hardcore Laker fan and more of a casual basketball fan who likes the Lakers, that's a different story, but when you're a fan, your faith and pride should take over. It's what being a fan is all about...PeACe wrong, just because youre a fan doesnt mean u cant be real. Im a HUGE Raider fan, i mean huge...but do i think theyre winning the Superbowl next year? No. Would i kill everyone on this board if it would get us a Superbowl....yes lol. But just because youre a fan doesnt mean u cant be realistic aswell. Faith and Pride shouldnt take over Logic man. Oh no...LOL. You now also missed the point. If the Raiders were in Superbowl contention, would you pick the other team to win it all? I'm not saying he has to pick the Lakers to win it all, but at least don't predict that some other team is gunna win it all when your team is still in contention. And once again, logic has nothing to do with it, I though I already cleared that up in my last post...PeACeBut its obvious that the Lakers arent gonna be winning the title this year man...so whats your point? You can be a fan, and at the same time be realistic.It's not obvious to Laker fans...There's ALWAYS a chance. We want that shit, and if we don't get it, at least we can say we stuck behind our team and believed in 'em 100% while they were fighting for it...With Phil and Kobe, there's ALWAYS a chance...PeACeShit, is this argurment still going on? I stopped paying attention after NIK replied to my last post. LOL. But I'll rap it up with this. The Lakers most likely arn't going to win it all this year. But since they are in the playoffs they have a chance. But so does every other team. Playoff brackets arn't about who you want to win, it's about who you think is going to win. Even if the Lakers are stocked and one Laker fan says they'll get beaten in the semi's doesn't mean they are less of a Laker fan then some laker fan who says they will win it all. Even if those stocked Lakers have a good chance to win the semi's the fan that didn't choose for them to win it all can still be as big a Laker fan as anyone. It doesn't mean he ain't rooting for them to win.

I never said it isn't possible, (not logical dosen't mean impossible) nor did I say it was logically impossible. I said (or rather, implied) that logically they won't win it. Remeber the definition (Based on earlier or otherwise known statements, events, or conditions) I'll root for the team till the end. Do you think the Houston Texan fans think logically their team is going to win the Super Bowl? Of course not, but they'll still root for their team hoping that they'll go as far as possible (which actually is winning the Super Bowl).Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMIf you do think they have even so much as the slightest chance, grab that and run with it.That's EXACTLY what I'm doing.

That's asking too much of the Lakers right now.Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMYou know what I'm saying?Yes.Quote from: Now_Im_Blowed on April 20, 2006, 02:30:09 PMPeAcEPeace.LOL. You miss the point...A hardcore Kings fan wouldn't proclaim that the Spurs are gunna win the championship (even though it is looking like the most likely scenerio), especially not on a public message board...Part of being a fan is rooting for your team and believing in them 100%...You think Phil Jackson or Jerry Buss would go on TV saying they think the Spurs would win it all? No...So why should we as fans? If you admit you're not a hardcore Laker fan and more of a casual basketball fan who likes the Lakers, that's a different story, but when you're a fan, your faith and pride should take over. It's what being a fan is all about...PeACe

NIK if your a true Laker fan go to a casino and bet every dollar you have on the Lakers winning it all.
his responses on here made me understand why so many people cant understand his arguments tho. NIK is arguing against logic with faith. For some reason he cant seem to see that being a fan doesnt mean u have to be blind. Starting next year, Portland has a "chance" to win the title. Are they going to? No. Are their fans any less of a fan for understanding that they probably wont win it? No. The Lakers goal this season was to be over .500 and to make the playoffs. They accomplished that. Good for them. But when you make your picks based on the LOVE for your team, or Kobe...then thats why people wont take your opinions seriously. I picked my team to go to the finals and win the West, but thats legitimate. Most experts, fans, whoever, would make that pick. But in all honesty, right now IMO Detroit is the favorite to win the title. Theyve been the best team all year, and i admit it. Can the Spurs beat them? Of course. But if we play they way we have all year, and they play the way they have all year...theyll win. We have to step up. NIKs right, that anyone has a "chance". But realistically, that isnt true. He would NEVER say any other 7 seed is gonna win the championship.

It doesnt make u less of a fan, it makes u real.

You have to give them a chance first, especially if it's YOUR team. Remember, some Laker fans on this board were saying the Lakers weren't gunna make the playoffs this year. To me, that was a slap in the face to all Laker fans...Like I said, remember the Celtic/Laker fans of the 80's? I'm tame compared to them...PeACe
