where's all those laker threads

[-VZA-]

i like this team a lot better.  games last year all seemed the same.  hmmm... the lakers are taking the ball down the court, what are they going to do?  dump it to shaq, kick it back out, dump it back into shaq, shaq shoots a turn around hook shot.  you can only take so much of that before you turn the game off.  this year you never know what they're going to do next.  they may not be as dependable but at least they're a little more exciting to watch.

And according to Phil Jackson, they should win at least 50 games...


Where are those Laker threads you ask? They're still all over the front page of this section...Sorry, but Lakers are here to stay buddy.

no Shaq no lakers.

No Shaq = Lakers is a worse team than they were with him. So? Is it a problem for somebody? Cause nobody as a Laker fan has dissed Kobe yet, or the Lakers in general. Everybody is supporting the team and the new coach. So? what's the problem?

How is the Lakers losing to the Bulls an issuse. Good teams lose to bad teams every year, that's not a worry for me. Lakers are not going to be as good as last year, or in the past 5 years, that's not an issue for me. Frankly, I still support the Lakers, always have, even after Magic Johnson retired the first time with HIV and the Lakers sucked really really bad for the next few years. I was rooting for them when Cedric Cebollos took off on a boat trip, Nick Van Exel pushed a ref, Shaq had Eddie Jones traded (my favorite Laker player of the 90's), Kobe 4 air balls. So why and the hell would any true Laker fan leave the Lakers if they are a proven franchise. Here are facts of this season, the Lakers still look like a playoff team, they have some big wins, and they don't look to be playing like a team YET. All of this is looking really positive for the Lakers.

See, the difference with Jerry Buss is that he's smart and he knows how to keep a franchise from tumbling...He trades players while they still have some value left, unlike the Bulls did after Jackson & Jordan retired...Lets say Buss woulda' waited another year or 2 to trade Shaq, the Lakers wouldn't have gotten 3 quality players, such as Odom, Butler, & Grant...And then Gary Payton for Chris Mihm, Chucky Atkins, AND Jumain Jones...Things are going good and looks like they're heading for great...The future looks awesome for the Lakers with what Buss picked up this summer...PeACe
