The Official Los Angeles Lakers thread
WestCoasta:
the NBA is fuckin dumb because you have some idiots on the bench and guys who average 4 points a game making $5 million
every player is trying to be the man all the time and it seems no one in the league recognizes that if you play as a team you win
all these fuckers wear headbands, it's getting really old, and lame sleeve guards on their arms and all that bullshit
everything in the league is just a fuckin hype

Exactly my thoughts, which of course means that it's the exact truth, and nice wording, props.
BTW: What happens when Brown gets a lot of touches was shown in the last game, LOL. 3-14 as a PF and then fouling out?! He's terrible. If it wasnt for him being the 1st pick and all that shit, there's no way he'd still have business in the NBA.
acbaylove:
First of all personally I don't find it funny at all to diss a Clipper fan calling him a looser. Matter of fact the Clippers are overplaying the Lakers since the past season, so we should just accept it and give them props because it took forever but finally they have a pretty good team that looks pretty loaded. About Brown, yes, another horrible game from him. 3-14 with Gasol making a solid 20+10 dominating him. Now i'm waiting for Nik to repeat for the 300th time: he'll became a beast. Yeah, right.

Never hated the trade. Maybe disagreed with it at first, but never hated.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---Kwame Brown struggled both in the easier system than in the harder one.
--- End quote ---
LOL...Kwame hasn't had a chance to establish himself in the new system yet, that's the point.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---Bullshit.
--- End quote ---
Bullshit? Give me a better option than Kwame & Profit for the 2007/2008 plan.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---In other words he needs to stop playing 4 games per season and start playing 82 + playoffs. Not an easy thing.
--- End quote ---
He doesn't only play four games. He's shown signs of greatness when given the chance, he just needs to utilize that great ability more often. Like I said, he's had his 11/8 season, he just never had the chance to excel to the next level after that. It's too early in the season and the system is too complex to start bashing Kwame 6 games in.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---He's not just a project. He's a failed project rejected from Washington, to be precise. Bynum is a project. Wafer is a project. Brown ain't a project. He was been a starter for 4 years and he hasn't developed since then.
--- End quote ---
Failed projects have shown progress, and he's only 23. Don't you think it's too soon to be calling him a failure, especially being a "Laker fan" and all...
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---That's due to the fact he has a career average of 5.5 rebounds per game while Butler has a 5.3 rpg being a SF. Brown is not only over-rebounding him because he's in a good moment, but because he's a beast getting rebounds while Brown in his best career has averaged more than 1 rebounds less than Butler in his 13 games playoffs career. Get it: Brown ain't a good rebounder, and it has nothing to do with the triangle or the lack of games played.
--- End quote ---
Kwame Brown has averaged about 20 minutes a game throughout his career, which is obviously not enough for him to develop, nor is it enough for him to surpass Caron's 5.3 rebounds he's averaged in 35 minutes by a large margin...
Caron Butler's season high in rebounds: 7
Caron Butler's career high in rebounds: 14
Kwame Brown's season high in rebounds: 13
Kwame Brown's career high in rebounds: 19
Kwame has obviously shown a lot more upside and potential to be more than just decent.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---I speak the truth, even if it hurts. I'm Brown's #1 fan when he's playing with a purple & gold jersey, but if you ask me an opinion about him, and you want me to be sincere, i can't lie to you.
--- End quote ---
You're not lying, you're simply hating too soon.
--- Quote from: Antonio on November 14, 2005, 03:17:33 PM ---I'm not talking shit about Phil Jackson or the system, what the fuck are you talking about! I'm disappointed about Brown, cause he still seems to have them menthal problems who made him a bust in Washington.
--- End quote ---
Again, too early in the season to just judge it like that. You have to give him AT LEAST until all-star break until you can officialy say he's been a bust for us.
Just wait until you start talking shit, because you never know, Chris Mihm has been showing great improvement. Andrew Bynum looks like a great presence out on the court already. Did you see how Pau Gasol was easily making shots, but as soon as Bynum steps in, he blocked his first shot with ease, then causes him to miss the next with his presence in the middle. Then he stuffs Shane Battier on the next attempt...He's gunna be something, I definitely see a bright future for this club... 8)

--- Quote from: My Grandsons Are A Disgrace on November 14, 2005, 10:36:53 PM ---although the lakers have a very impressive history, i hafta go with the boston celtics for the best franchise in NBA history.
the lakers do have a tremendous amount of hall of famers and have only missed the playoffs less than a handful of times, but the championships are what stick out most to me 16 > 14
--- End quote ---
This has been debated, but Lakers are far more consistant. What was it, 28 Finals appearances compared to 19?
