Both teams are playing better than they have the past few years. Laker fans are happy right now because nobody expected the team to be playing so well - but everything they have done so far has been through hard work and some of the younger players finally maturing. For me to deny what the Celts are doing this year, would be pure haterism, because they are having a great season so far. They are one injury away from plummeting just like every team is. It's a long season that isn't even half done yet. Nobody here is a prophet so who knows what the hell is going to happen from here to June. I say let fans be fans. If they want to be happy about their team and whatever successes, then let em'. I do give a little tease when the Celts lose but it's all in fun. It's not like I am saying "Fuck the Celts and fuck Hack Wilson!" It will be a cold day in hell that I cheer for them though. Back to the Lakers, I'm happy for them. I had low expectations coming in to this season, so to see them near the top for the past few weeks and on top right now is a cool joy....

Like I've said many times, Shaq was not even the man in Miami's title run. Kobe not only has been the man in LA for the last 3 years, but he's also been the only all-star on the squad...PeACeShaq was ALWAYS the man wherever he wentpenny, kobe and wade = his sidekicks

the lakers are only at the top right now on a fluke and yall are about to plummet down the conference. stop actin like they are top conference mainstays just cuz they are the number 1 team in the west for like 3 days in the middle of january. that dont mean shiet. last year they were only a few games behind their current record and we all know how that turned out - you guys are nothin more than a glorified early playoff exit and early season "success" that gets groupies like you all excited for nothing. the lakers aint in the same breath as the celtics SEASON wise u slow muthafuca. who cares about weekly shiet. nicca go make another thread about some bullshiet like luke walton being named 8th man of the last 3 days in the pacific division or some other stupid stat/internet award. all that "if" shiet is stupid too. if this and if that, nicca save that shiet for your video games or something. heres a newsflash, "if's" dont mean shiet, numbers and playoff series wins do. and we all know these wac kobe led lakers have neither. since u like ifs, heres another for you. IF the lakers were actually anything beyond an average team they would have more to show in the nba in the last 4 years than just kids like you hypin them on sports forums and makin up every excuse in the world to cover that they are average.

I figured that maybe you were counting on them losing their next game.
LMAO.... I love it when people get so riled up at discussions that they have to start calling people names. It's insecurity at its finest..But back to the discussion. If history is to always be used to gauge how a team will do, could you have said that the 2000 Lakers were going to choke because they lost to San Antonio in 1999? You could have but you would have been wrong, because history doesn't always repeat itself and the truth is nobody knows how the rest of the season will pan out. So yes, you can have an "educated" guess but it still remains a guess. Will the Lakers finish the rest of the season strong? I don't know, but I know they have a better chance now since their young players are showing more maturity than last year.
