Title: If Lakers played in the east, we'd be a top tier playoff team....
Post by: Sccit on December 02, 2014, 09:54:17 PM
...and that's not even to brag about the current Laker team, because we're definitely lacking in certain areas....it's more so a reflection of how whack the east really is. i mean, lakeshow is currently 4-0 against eastern conference teams after tonights victory over the pistons..if we played in the east, playoffs wouldnt even be in doubt. shit just aint fair how deep the west has become. on the contrary, the top 4 teams in east would struggle to even make the playoffs in the west... it actually makes no sense why theres such a huge disparity. i dont think we need to eliminate conferences, but if it stays like this, the nba is really guna become a watered down product over time.....


how bout kobe with them back-to-back triple doubles tho? 8)

They need to change the NBA to American and National leagues instead of east, west...

i think they do it for traveling purposes.  a lot cheaper having teams on each side of the country playing each other 4x and only traveling to the east/west coasts once per city.

playin in the western conference, might as well be playin an all-star team every night...i think mdogg had a similar idea to american league/national league....make 1 conference all the aba teams+expansion teams and then make one conference all the original nba teams. but like hack said, the idea of constantly traveling back n forth from east 2 west is too much.

Two Conference (based off teams founded in the NBL or ABA, or are located in cities with historic ties to either of those leagues)

with that said, it was a close game all the way down to the last minutes...we were down 4 with a minute and a half left. and this is supposed to be one of the top teams in the east. if jeremy lin doesn't go 0-10, thats a laker victory.


4-1 against the east now...

hey man, you guys went against the best the NBA has to offer.  no shame in that.


Rumor has it Kobe met with Rondo this morning for breakfast to discuss being traded to Boston.  I am the one who started this rumor but it's a rumour that's out there now.

my only problem is they got switched to LA only so instead of talking 75% about LA sports now they talk 99% about LA sports

too much USC and UCLA talk but i know i'm not their demographic.

A lot of shows are either LA or NY heavy. Fox usually is LA heavy for their national shows, ESPN is usually NY heavy.

Petros and Money was on nation wide for YEARS and that run ended in 2014 when they were turned into the am 570 flagship show (replacing loose cannons)


espn doesn't talk new york, they talk popular.  i.e. the cavs, the SEC, kentucky basketball, the patriots and cowgirls etc

espn on tv is extremely east coast bias, theres really no denyin that......espn radio in LA, considering it's the official laker station, is all about LA.


petros and money are notorious laker haters...fucked up part about it, money used to work for the lakers. might just be bitter over gettin shit-canned by the organization.

I noticed the CBS affiliate in a town will be bigger haters on a team.  The hating increases if the team has a flagship station and/or is losing.  106.7 The Fan in DC kills the Redskins.  But the Skins earned it, they put out a shit product, and are just shit.

speaking of CBS sports they got THE worst morning show ever.  Dana Jacobson, Tiki Barber and some other turd.  I loved watching Tiki as a player and even met him and got his autograph in '99 but he sure is boring to listen to.  Still bitter against Coughlin too.  Retiring in '06 was THE worst choice of his life.

No, I'd say ESPN radio is fairly east coast bias.

In MN, they use to have a Fox Sports radio station, all their national programs and I loved it as it was the Loose Cannons and even Petros. But they took that off the air. Now they just have the local Fox Sports guys that's all MN. And since it's the Vikings flagship now, it's basically a Vikings love fest. Our ESPN radio is pretty east coast, but they do have a couple of local shows and it's all MN Timberwolves, since that's their flagship. But other than that it's all Yankees, Red Sox, Patriots, Giants when their hot. Meh. Now we have CBS radio, and it's cool, they got Jim Rome. But I miss Fox Sports, and I hate all things Fox. Lately I've just been listening to my phone with radio apps. Though this week it's pretty Bay Area heavy to get my Raiders news, as lots of rumors of moving to LA and Jim Harbaugh coaching. Good thing about smartphones, I'm not limited to what I listen to.

I guess technically 1090 is a CBS station. But it actually is from Mexico, so who knows what the hell is going on. Being it Mexico, it could be a bootleg station... LOL... But I looked online and it looks like Rome is on 980AM now. That's the CBS station.

As for Rome in MN, our CBS station is an FM station, and it's a very strong signal, so at least this market has a strong CBS presents. I just miss having Fox Sports. It was glorious. But it's all local now, which before the company that owned the Fox signal had two AM stations, one national and one local, but when they signed with the Vikings I guess part of the agreement was to be on FM radio, so they combined the stations and put everything on FM, so the morning, late morning, lunch and traffic time shows are all local, and then Fox after 6pm. Blah...
