^ Why do you keep saying that crap with the 42 win season part? Pierce took the Celtics from like the worst team in the league to the championship in 1 year. Wow, Pierce >>> MJ.

But we didn't acquire 2 Hall of Fame players and mid-season vets chasing a ring. We acquired Gasol, sure, but we were killin even before that...We lost our 2nd best player and made it to the Finals...People need to stop trippin on LA and the Lakers...Going into this season, people didn't even think we'd make the playoffs...PeACe

That is why people are trippin and why you look like an ass. Take the loss, admit that the entire team (even Kobe....especially Kobe) played nowhere near good enough to win. They will be beack possibly, but there is no guarantee as much as you like to think so.

I predicted a sweep because I thought the Lakers would play like they did vs the Western Conference... If our supporting cast would have stepped up, we would be talkin about a Game 7 right now. Everyone knows that heroic performances usually come when you're performing as a team. Kobe wasn't gunna score 81 to win on the Celtics defense...Sure, he coulda played better, but that comes a long with a COLLECTIVE effort, which simply wasn't there...PeACe

You keep acting like LA beat themselves. Not true, they got completely shut down and outplayed by the Celts. Why would a team get all the way to the finals just to stop trying? They wouldn't. The fact is LA simply got crushed by a better team.

Boston played as the better team, but I still don't think they're the better team...I think the fact that we played so shitty and took it to 6 games shows that we coulda beat them with stronger execution.
And if the Lakers were more experienced and had been in a situation like this before, they wouldn't have gotten taken out of their game...Lakers took themselves out of the game by refusing to execute. Boston is good, no doubt, but not as good as the Lakers showed them to be.

Boston is good, no doubt, but not as good as the Lakers showed them to be.LOL as if it was the game plan to go out there and fuck up. Kobe in the huddle: "OK Guys I want everybody to refuse to execute. Sasha, you go cry like a bitch and act like you're more important than you are. Vlad, I want you to get out there and miss wide open shots and commit stupid fouls, because we don't want you out here spreading the floor and opening up the paint. Pau, I want you out there getting pushed around and abused by soft ass choke artist KG. Lamar, just keep acting like that same bitch you've been acting like your whole life. You guys play your part and I'll make sure I shoot 30% for us because thats what players who are better than Jordan do. 1,2,3 LAKERS!!!"Stop making excuses, please. Your tune has completely changed. First you predict a sweep for the Lakers, then its "yeah well we didnt have Bynum," now its "theyre young and inexperienced"
What don't you get? I predicted a sweep because I thought they'd be able to play the same way they played vs. the Spurs, the Jazz, and the Nuggets...once they got onto the big stage, they let up and showed their inexperience as a team, which resulted in stupid/avoidable losses...Seriously, now, are you as dumb as you play?
