our Jan schedule is basically every tough team in the league followed by being on the road the whole month of february, the league is really trying to fuck us over
-
Fuck that Feb schedule is ridicules.
-
I said it last year that the roadtrips is where we show our true colors. Sink or swim. Last year we sank like the fuckin titanic. If we have a winning record on that road trip then the NBA should be scared.

Get the fuck outta here with that conspiracy theory bullshit. EVERY, let me say this again...EVERY team in the league plays 41 home games and 41 road games. If anything, the Lakers get off easy because 2 of their "road" games a year are really home games with a different floor against the fuckin clippers IN LOS ANGELES!!! A tough second half schedule means you had an easy first half schedule. Are you afraid that they are not as good as their record???
-
^Yea...every schedule is the same. ::)
The Lakers have the toughest schedule in the league this season. Boston has the easiest. Shits fucked up. That said, we're gunna do extremely well on the road month of February. mark my words.
-
Mon, Feb 11 @ Charlotte 7:00 PM
I'll be at that one. That being said, i'm sure the lakers will lose.
-
Wow you came off extremely ignorant in that post man. But I'm going to try to explain this to you without attacking you cause that's what usually happens when I get this irritated. Check it out, What I was trying to say is YES every team has 41 away and home games, but the order that they were scheduled makes it difficult. For example, a four game road trip puts much less pressure on a team than a 9 game road trip because of the length of time they are away from home and all the effects it has on the team both mentally and physically. Also the Lakers have not had an easy first half, just take a look at our schedule and Boston's and compare them. Or if you're going to come in here with that oh they're an East team, well check any other Western Conference team and show me a schedule as tough as the Lakers.

No, Boston has had the easiest schedule this far. They have to play against the same tough teams and the same weak teams. Every team plays each team from their own conference 4 times and every team from the other conference twice. How is the league trying to fuck anybody, especially the Lakers who David Stern loves to death?

DAVID STERN LOVES THE LAKERS? LMFAO!!! You just lost all credibility in basketball discussion.
Seriously, though, only an idiot would say that all schedules are the same in toughness.

Thats life in the Western Conference, buddy. You still haven't convinced me that the league is drawing up the Lakers' schedule thinking "how can we make it so hard for them and so easy for every one else. That doesn't make sense because the Lakers doing well=ratings, which is what Stern wants. You have a lot of tough teams coming up because you havent completed your series with them, and you have a lot of road games scheduled because you havent played them. Yes, you have a long 8 game road trip coming up. The Blazers are about to start a 7 game road trip that includes Boston and Orlando. Thats part of the game. A tough schedule for one stretch of the season=an equally easy stretch somewhere else in the season. Its not David Stern and Stu Jackson deciding to give every team but the Lakers an unfair advantage. So I'm sorry, sir, but it is you who is coming off as ignorant.

Yes, David Stern loves the Lakers. It doesn't take a fuckin genius to understand that the Lakers and the Knicks are the top grossing teams leaguewide in terms of viewership, attendance, merchandise and therefore, income. It is Sterns job to maximize the profit potential of the NBA, so of course, he wants the Lakers and the Knicks to be in the finals every year. Does that mean he's going to go out of his way to make it happen? Absolutely not, but it should also illustrate to you that there is no way that Stern is going to intentionally give the Lakers of all teams a more difficult schedule than any other team. You guys are doing good right now, why are you making excuses already?

lol@ the league fucking you over. This isnt the NFL there Doggy. We all play everybody.

If you are basing this on David Stern strictly being a business man then what he would ideally want is a healthy balanced league where there is high competition because that would generate more ratings than just Los Angeles and New York doing well. And if you look at the West right now, that is what is happening. The league is designed to keep teams in check. If you're theory was actually correct about Stern loving the Lakers then why the hell would Stu Jackson and Stern be so hard on the Lakers with suspensions the last couple years when that only hurts ratings.
Remember the Knicks - Lakers game last year? Well let's see here. New York is the largest grossing city right? Why would they suspend Kobe for that game and piss off that many fans? Kobe was suspended numerous times last season for NOTHING. Yet I've seen numerous violent fouls this season which have received no punishment from the league.
-
Tone quit fucking quoting everything dammit, lol. My point was the order that we play the teams that we do play.

Ever thought the NBA is tryna expand into other markets? To say that the NBA holds a bias towards the Kobe led Lakers is about as big a joke as you can make in the basketball world. And nobodies making excuses...if you don't think we have an extremely tough schedule compared to most (if no all) teams, then something is wrong with you.

I didn't say that there is a bias towards the Lakers. What I said was that the league is not going to intentionally try to fuck its cash cow over. If you got a tough stretch on your schedule, oh well. That means you have an easy section of the schedule too. How is the Lakers schedule more difficult than any other team in the Western Conference?

its not lol. Oh, except for the Spurs, Suns, and Mavs. All these teams are better then the Lakers. Which means they play the Lakers (a lower quality team) and the Lakers in turn play them (higher quality teams). So in that aspect, the Lakers have a harder Westcoast schedule. Likewise, the worst team in the West has the HARDEST western conference schedule (opponent win% based).

we should also factor in the 2 extra games the Lakers get that are essentially home games. The 2 "road games" against the Clippers.

Its always ironic how Laker fans got so paranoid about some make believe bias against their team as soon as they started sucking. lol The league would gain nothing by being biased against the Hollywood boys.

I can't judge for myself cause the vids wont play. But what I do know is that the NBA is going to be very sensitive about anything that could reasonably be perceived as intentionally violent after what happened at that Detroit - Indiana game. Didn't Amare get suspended for simply getting off the bench when the Spurs were on their kill Steve Nash campaign?
-

just like every team that played the Lakers in their last title runs complained about phantom fouls on them while Shaq just throws his weight around like a damn gorilla and never got called for a foul. Now that the shoe is on the other foot (well not so much now), the nba is out to get the Lakers. Just like Mike Tyson was crazy for complaining about Holyfield's headbutts until everybody that fought him after that complained about his headbutts.

^Yea...every schedule is the same. ::)
The Lakers have the toughest schedule in the league this season. Boston has the easiest. Shits fucked up. That said, we're gunna do extremely well on the road month of February. mark my words.
yep im sure the NBA is sitting there thinking "OK what can we do to give the LAkers a losing season?"
::)

^^^LOL Exactly! Lets make sure the prominent team in our 2nd largest market struggles! Thats the ticket!
-
I'm not worried by this February road trip... I think it can be great to build another momentum and keep improving ... out of all these East teams , we will lose at Detroit and that's it ... we drop some games in the beginning of the season against East teams but honestly a loss against any Eastern conf team not named Detroit and Boston (and maybe Toronto) is lame ..
-
I didn't say they want us to be a losing team, they just want to keep us in check, we already won 3 rings this decade, according to the league, the wealth needs to be spread so people don't lose interest and fan bases don't die down while only L.A. peaks
-
^Forget it...they wont understand.
Anyone who thinks the league has shown respect for the Kobe led Laker is lying to themselves. David Stern loves the LeBron's, the Wade's, the Nash's. Kobe doesn't need any backing from the league to be on top of shit...That's why he gets fouled on every play without a call. I can't believe people actually still buy that the NBA is fair after what happened with Tim Donaghy. :grumpy:
-

hahahahahahahaha!!! WHAT???
oh man that was good
thats why the NBA has the Lakers play every christmas instead of "spreading the wealth" and scheduling other teams?
thats why the Lakers got all the favorable calls against the Kings in the playoffs during Shaq's run?

then they would go after San Antonio far harder then they go after the Lakers. The league would FAR rather see the Lakers win the title then see San Antonio win it. LA is a far bigger market and the ratings for the finals would be far better then when SA is in it. San Antonios fanbase is for the most part strictly in San Antonio. The league would kill to have a Lakers vs Knicks finals.....or even Lakers vs Celtics finals far before they'd wish for a Spurs vs Orlando finals (for example). So by youre theory, the league would have a bias against us.

What does playing on Christmas have to do with the league not wanting the Lakers on top, so that they can expand into other markets? LA fans will always be spending a shitload of money, even if the Lakers are losing.

because the NBA is less relevant when the Lakers and Knicks (NY and LA) aren't good.
same with baseball and the Yankees and Dodgers. look at how BORING the national league is.
-
What don't you guys get about the NBA EXPANDING INTO OTHER MARKETS? What's hard to understand about them not wanting Kobe as the face of the league?
-
didn't ESPN.com vote Lebron as face of the league last year?

Probably.
-
Wow, Now I remember why i don't bother explaining things to you guys on here anymore, it gets no where.
-
no hate on here man
its just some NBA talk 8)
-
lol@ you Laker conspiracy theorists.
Its really sad to see how far the Laker fans have fallen since their championship years. Expanding into other markets doesnt involve the need to "keep the Lakers down". The Lakers arent good enough to be at the top and havent been for some years now. Shaq left, things fell apart....period. You act as if youve had a championship team but havent been winning because of the league lololol. The last few years youve had a mediocre team that when they played .600 ball they were overachieving. The league hasnt been trying to keep you down, you just havent been that good. Quit acting like youve had an All Star lineup and lose every game on bad calls. Youve had one star for the most part, and poor chemistry. That rarely leads to championships. All the "NBA is biased against us" bullshit is making you guys look pathetic.

Geez how unfair!!!!! LOL. The Lakers are an elite team! This should be cake for them! They all play similar teams. I guess the NBA has it out for the Celtics. They play 18 of the same teams listed above. Granted, they have more home games, but that just means that towards the end of the season the Lakers will have more home games than the Celtics. Then you dickriders will cry about how unfair that is. LOL. Doggystylin is now known as Doucheystylin.
Spurs (14 of the next 22 games for the Spurs are against the same teams the Lakers play that you listed above. Only 9 home games.)

What don't you guys get about the NBA EXPANDING INTO OTHER MARKETS? What's hard to understand about them not wanting Kobe as the face of the league?
Yeah forreal I think we all saw what happened last season. Wade had just won finals MVP and everyone was googly-eyed over Lebron for his commercials and Team USA; meanwhile Kobe had just come back from knee surgery and was looking rusty so everyone counted him out and was saying 'oh he's old, he's done, Lebron & Wade > Kobe'.
Then Kobe starts getting his rhythm back, the Lakers were winning games while playing great team ball, Kobe had the best selling jersey in the NBA - so what happens? Stern starts suspending Kobe every other week.
Yes Stern loves the money and attention Kobe brings to the NBA. But he hates the fact that Kobe saying "I want to be traded" still generates more interest than Lebron making it to the NBA finals. That bitch looked like he wanted to cry last year when he had to hand Kobe that ASG MVP.

If we have a so-called rougher schedule, so what? Let the team play anybody they put in front of them. If there is a "tougher" schedule, it will only season the team up for the playoffs..

This is what I call a fan. No excuses for poor play. If the team is Elite, then all these teams should be a cake walk for them. And like dude said, it'll only make them tougher when it comes time for the nitty gritty.

lol@ you Laker conspiracy theorists.
Its really sad to see how far the Laker fans have fallen since their championship years. Expanding into other markets doesnt involve the need to "keep the Lakers down". The Lakers arent good enough to be at the top and havent been for some years now. Shaq left, things fell apart....period. You act as if youve had a championship team but havent been winning because of the league lololol. The last few years youve had a mediocre team that when they played .600 ball they were overachieving. The league hasnt been trying to keep you down, you just havent been that good. Quit acting like youve had an All Star lineup and lose every game on bad calls. Youve had one star for the most part, and poor chemistry. That rarely leads to championships. All the "NBA is biased against us" bullshit is making you guys look pathetic.
Did you know that Tim Donaghy admittedly sabotaged a close playoff Laker game last season vs. the Suns that woulda put the Lakers at 2-2? Kobe is like the opposite of Jordan. He gets NO respect from the refs and 0 support from the league, yet he still manages to rise above it all. Don't be delusional.

Do the Celtics have a 9 game road trip? Does it make it easier to play on a 9 game road trip, where you're flying to city to city to play basketball non-stop, if you know you'll have more home games in the future? At least try to make sense when you discuss basketball, considering you're not a big fan of the game. If you knew anything about the sport, you'd know that there's something called a "tough schedule"...surprised ToNe hasn't heard of it, though I expected it from you...PeACe

Okay? 1 game was more than enough...that "tackle" on Ray Allen was nothing in comparison to shit that hasn't gotten ANY suspensions. it was not even meant to hurt Allen, just to send a message. keep watching the videos until you get it.

Do you ever read?
SGV Said about the Celtics: Granted, they have more home games, but that just means that towards the end of the season the Lakers will have more home games than the Celtics.
Meaning? I acknowledge the fact that the Lakers have more road games. LMAO @ Always finding new reasons to complain about why the Lakers still aren't number 1.
Oh and by the way, the Poor Play comment was a point. Styles is not trying to make excuses for any reasons of Poor Play, which is what dickriders like you and doucheystylin do. You whine about playing road games, but you fail to realize, even a struggling Clippers team plays 7 road games at the start of Feb. The Kings (Hockey) play like 8 road games around then. Something must be going on at Staples the start of Feb. That's not the fault of the NBA. That's the venue. So you're saying that at the start of Feb, the NBA and NHL decided to send the Lakers, Clippers and Kings on a bunch of road games? LMAO. It's not a conspiracy. It's not that they're against them. It's their venue blacking those days out for some reason.
LMAO @ You looking so dumb right about now. This has nothing to do with knowing about ball. It's about realizing that your team plays in a venue where two other sports teams play at the same time AND where concerts and events are held on a regular basis. Put the Lakers back into GWF if you're going to whine and bitch about it this much. LOL.

When did I say anything about a conspiracy? Lakers just have a tough schedule, genius. There's nothin' to fuckin' argue lol. We had an easy schedule last season, but it simply isn't the same this year. Try making valid points when you post. and the Lakers actually ARE number 1 in the west (according to the loss column- we haven't played as many games as Dallas and Phoenix)...and even if they weren't number one, THERE'S NO NEED FOR EXCUSES THIS SEASON. What don't you get? We have a better record than the champs, for fucks sake.

That's the conspiracy of which I speak, smarty.
The Clippers have a 7 game road trip the same time and so do the Kings. Tough schedule? Sure. Being on the rode is tough. Does the league have it out for the Lakers and are trying to fuck them over by them having a 9 game road trip? No. Point is, the the venue in which they play isn't holding any events during the first two weeks of Feb. The Lakers have to play those two weeks, so since they chose to be in that venue, they have to live with it. Tough or not. But, of course, Dickriders will find a way to blame the League or others for this unfortunate turn of events for the Lakers. The Clippers must have a tough schedule too then. And, like I pointed out, the Celtics are playing many similar teams in the next months, they just have the luck of not having a venue that has blocked at 2 weeks worth of dates. Can't see how you can bitch and moan about this shit...

our Jan schedule is basically every tough team in the league followed by being on the road the whole month of february, the league is really trying to fuck us over

The point is, we have a tough schedule...did the league do it on purpose? That we'll never know for sure. But considering how the NBA and its officials have treated Kobe and the Lakers these past few year, I wouldn't put it past them.

SGV you're such a dumb bitch, why do you continue to make retarted ass posts and stick your fat ass in places you really have no business in. You obviously don't know jack shit about basketball, do you enjoy making yourself look ignorant?
-
So, what you're saying is that you suspect the NBA, NHL and Staples Center teaming up all to screw the Lakers over? You realize how dumb that sounds right? The Staples Center probably makes most of their money thanks to the Lakers, why would they try to help screw them? They make decent money from the Kings and Clippers, too. So again, why would they try to help screw them? LMAO.
If it was just the Lakers going on a long road trip, I'd understand the speculation, but you got two other sports teams (one is from a completely different sport all together) who play in the same venue and they're BOTH going on road trips as well.
Please, try making valid points when you post.

What does knowing about basketball have to do with knowing that the Lakers aren't the only team that plays at Staples going on a road trip at that same time. You obviously don't know what you're talking about since you make claims that the league is out to fuck the Lakers over, as if they're the only team going on a road trip then. LMAO @ You hurt now. I'm fat. I'm getting married. You're skinny. You're in love with Eminem. Sucks to be you.

You can go fuck yourself for all I care. I don't care if you're a 400 pound hairy beast or a piece of non digested corn in my shit. All I'm saying is that you look stupid as fuck and for your own sake and dubcc's, quit polluting the forums with your shit. I'm not even gonna continue this shit with you, cause you're obviously ignorant as fuck and I'm sick of wasting my time.

what the hell are you saying, bro? LOL. The Clippers play in the Staples Center too. Why would you bring their schedule up as an argument? Do they have a 9 game road trip? Come on, now. :grumpy:

It's ignorant to point out that you guys are crying about a road trip that your "elite" team is playing. You whiney hoes are blaming the NBA. I pointed out that another NBA team, that also plays at Staples, the Clippers, have a 7 game road trip at the same exact time and the NHL's Kings, who also play at Staples are having an 8 road game trip at the same exact time. But you dickriders always want to make the Lakers into a sob story so you bitch and moan and come up with conspiracy theories to make yourselves feel better if your team ends up doing bad.

i think the NBA is against the Clippers!!

Yeah. The NBA wants the Clippers to continue to be such a horrible team. They paid Elton Brand to get injured. They made sure Sam Cassell gets injured often. And then they send them struggling on a 7 game road trip. Fuck the NBA!!!!

I'm really an idiot? Here we go with the verbal attacks from the fatso...what happened, I thought you were gunna change when your cousin died? You still seem like the same old asswhipe to me, who can't make points without attacking. The Clippers have a 7 game road trip and the Lakers have 9. There's a difference between that, dickhead. Yet, they both play in the same venue. Great example you got there! Why not give the Clippers a 9 game road trip, since every other part of the Laker schedule is already tough to begin with? Or why not even it out with 8 and 8? And why the hell is your punk ass bringing up hockey road trips? LMAO. Hockey is completely different... EVERY TEAM has a long road trip in the NHL. Get your shit together before you get excited and start talkin shit to people...:grumpy:

Oh yeah what happened to the peace loving SGV? I guess people really do have short memories. You're just habitually a piece of shit I guess.
-
What don't you guys get about the NBA EXPANDING INTO OTHER MARKETS? What's hard to understand about them not wanting Kobe as the face of the league?
Yeah forreal I think we all saw what happened last season. Wade had just won finals MVP and everyone was googly-eyed over Lebron for his commercials and Team USA; meanwhile Kobe had just come back from knee surgery and was looking rusty so everyone counted him out and was saying 'oh he's old, he's done, Lebron & Wade > Kobe'.
Then Kobe starts getting his rhythm back, the Lakers were winning games while playing great team ball, Kobe had the best selling jersey in the NBA - so what happens? Stern starts suspending Kobe every other week.
Yes Stern loves the money and attention Kobe brings to the NBA. But he hates the fact that Kobe saying "I want to be traded" still generates more interest than Lebron making it to the NBA finals. That bitch looked like he wanted to cry last year when he had to hand Kobe that ASG MVP.
(http://kleyland.myweb.uga.edu/crying.jpg)
i certainly hope you dont believe what your typing.
That's actually true...
Kobe suspended for both of these:
http://www.youtube.com/v/Y6FOsBjD3ik&NR=1
Something he always does:
http://www.youtube.com/v/qY9itGGtWcI
LeBron James, same move= no suspension:
http://www.youtube.com/v/GGnnN5BMXwE
2 games for this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/CtIZf-rDu1w
Raja Bell gets 1 game for this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/SCWd-mmDRZQ
LeBron gets no games for this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/aRhNzT9dfrI
Now watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/T6SpBM8dB4k
http://www.youtube.com/v/BVTIYTSCG90
Lets not forget Nash kicking Felton in the ankle. Lets not forget Gasol elbowing Kobe in the face. Lets not forget just a few days ago when Lebron stuck his foot under Durant's when he landed (which led to him leaving the game early).
I don't care if Kobe gets suspended as long as they're consistent with the suspensions.

Back to the topic...
First of all, the Lakers DONT HAVE A 9 GAME ROAD TRIP!!! They have an 8 game road trip. Now would you explain to me the astronomical difference between a 7 game trip and an 8 game trip? And what the fuck are you talkin about hockey? You do realize the Portland Trail Blazers is a BASKETBALL team in the NBA right? You got your nerve to assume other people in this thread haven't kept up with NBA basketball in years when you think an NBA team that has been established since 1970 is a damn hockey team!

Holy shit...I thought SGV was bad, but this guy is taking it to another level. If you're not gunna read the whole thread, then don't comment. First of all, my insults to SGV were in retalition. You can clearly see that he started with the childish remarks in this thread, so he brought it upon himself.
Second of all, who the hell said the Blazers were a hockey team, smart guy? If you've been reading the posts, then you can clearly see SGV going on rants about the LA Kings. You can see that here:
The Kings (Hockey) play like 8 road games around then. Something must be going on at Staples the start of Feb. That's not the fault of the NBA. That's the venue. So you're saying that at the start of Feb, the NBA and NHL decided to send the Lakers, Clippers and Kings on a bunch of road games?
and here:
So, what you're saying is that you suspect the NBA, NHL and Staples Center teaming up all to screw the Lakers over? You realize how dumb that sounds right?

Bring up you and SGV all the fuck you want but that has nothing to do with me, get it? I AM NOT SGV, understand?
Second, I pointed out that Portland is about to go on a tough 7 game road trip against 6 .500 or better teams and you said for me to not use any hockey teams as a point of reference when I never said ANYTHING about hockey AT ALL. Are you following this or is this too much to handle at one time?
Third, ok, simple mistake on my part about the duration of the trip. I skipped over January and only looked at the February games. Moving on...
Ok now lets break down this disastrously unfavorable and extremely biased and difficult 9 game road trip. I'll start by comparing it to those NHL powerhouse Portland Trail Blazers 7 game road trip. Im going to bold the teams that Portland and LA both face on their respective trips.
Portland:

Thats vs. 5 of the exact same teams.
Now for the major differences:
1.You play Detroit instead of Boston on your trip. Not a cakewalk, but would you rather play Boston?
2. You play the Wizards whose record is worse than the Hornets, who the Blazers play against on their trip.
Now that we have established that the first 7 games of your catastrophic 9 game road trip are essentially the same, save for the 2 games which LA has it slightly easier, lets cap this off by examining the final two powerhouses that drag your road trip to 9 games long...
3. Your road trip is capped off by games against the 13-23 Charlotte Bobcats and the reigning worst team in the league, the 5-30 Minnesota Timberwolves.
Do you really still believe the league gave LA those final 2 games to fuck the Lakers over???? I know it may be difficult for someone of your intellectual stature (or lack thereof), but at least ATTEMPT to think about this shit logically.

Ok, I admit, I thought it was SGV who posted up that Blazers schedule, so my bad about that...But still, A 9 GAME ROAD TRIP AND A 7 GAME ROAD TRIP IS NOT THE SAME. Forget the teams, just the duration of the trip and the fact that there's more travelling involved, it's a bitch. No way can you say it's the same in toughness and actually believe it...Now, as I said before, there's no way to prove whether the league is doing it on purpose or not. But if the league wants the Lakers to succeed as its "cash-cow", as you claim, why would they give us a 9 game road trip when we already have one of the toughest schedules in the league this season? No way to prove whether it was done on purpose or not, but nobody out there can deny that the league and its officials have been holding a bias against Kobe and the Lakers these past few years...hell, Phil Jackson took a hefty fine last season standing up against it!...come on, now.

THE LEAGUE IS OUT TO GET THE BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahaha
why's it funny? because the league gives the Lakers a 9 game road trip and the Blazers a 7 and this guy is tryna use it as an argument in his favor? LOL.
-
an "elite" team doesn't need to play at home to win.

an "elite" team doesn't need to play at home to win.
You're right...nobody said they do...and the Lakers have been proving it. 8)

I'm really an idiot? Here we go with the verbal attacks from the fatso...what happened, I thought you were gunna change when your cousin died? You still seem like the same old asswhipe to me, who can't make points without attacking. The Clippers have a 7 game road trip and the Lakers have 9. There's a difference between that, dickhead. Yet, they both play in the same venue. Great example you got there! Why not give the Clippers a 9 game road trip, since every other part of the Laker schedule is already tough to begin with? Or why not even it out with 8 and 8? And why the hell is your punk ass bringing up hockey road trips? LMAO. Hockey is completely different... EVERY TEAM has a long road trip in the NHL. Get your shit together before you get excited and start talkin shit to people...:grumpy:
Verbal attacks? You come at me with that same ol' "Have you ever watched the NBA?" bullshit, so I retaliate with some of your own medicine. Stop always trying to make this to be a charity case. "Awww poor me! You attack me!! Aww poor Lakers!" C'mon. Be a grown man for once. Accept what you dish out. The Clippers have a 7 game road trip, but they're also a shitty team. Why can't the Lakers have a 7 game road trip? Maybe you should question why the Lakers have played less games thus far than the Mavs and Suns. LOL. Dogg, you're really sounding like a little kid here. The Clippers have the first home game at Staples after the road trips are done. It's just how it works. So a shittier Clippers team plays 7 road games and an Elite Lakers team has 9, a good majority of which are against weak teams in the "weak" East.
The Clippers have played one less home game than the Lakers, should I scream blood murder like you idiots? LOL. Hockey is different idiot. I never said it was the same. But what you lack the sense to realize is that I used the Kings and Clippers' road trips as a point. They ALL play at Staples and they ALL have road trips at the SAME EXACT TIME. Meaning that there is something happening at Staples at that particular time which keeps ALL THREE of the teams out of the arena at the same time. And since the leagues can't stop because the teams venue is booked, they have to play their games somewhere, which would ultimately be the road. Are you understanding?
There's no conspiracy jackass. The league loves the Lakers. They bring so much money to them, it would make no sense to diss them. Instead of blaming the NBA for the Lakers having a 9 game road trip, call up Staples Center and complain. Ask them why is there nothing going on Feb 1 - Feb 12. LMAO @ Get my shit together when it's been together this whole time. You just lack any real sense to TRUELY understand what is being said.
Doucheystylin... You're a hoe. Go take another picture on 21st Street and Lewis mimicking Warren G's stance. LMAO @ You.

There's nothing complex in your simple-minded style of posting, I understand every single point you're attempting to make... It's just that, as usual, what you're saying is dumb as fuck and doesn't really change anything. Let me spell it out for your ass, since it's so hard-
The Staples Center is booked in February, right?
The Clippers, Lakers, and Kings all play at Staples Center.
Out of those 3 teams, the Lakers have the longest road trip.
HOW DOES THIS HELP YOUR ARGUMENT?
Like I said, neither of us can prove whether the league did it on purpose, but the fact that you say "the league loves the Lakers" only proves my point of you not following basketball these past few years...That's not a verbal attack, we're debating something here, and I'm bringing up valid arguments in the debate...you, on the other hand, resort to childish antics (such as name-calling) when you feel backed into a corner. Come with something that actually helps your side of the argument, or don't post...PeACe
-
Uh... This helps my arguement because you douches are making this a conspiracy by the league. Point is, which you've failed to pick up, the first two weeks of Feb at Staples are empty. The Clippers play less games during that time, just like they have at this point in the season (they're at 33 games, the Lakers are at 35 and Orlando has played 39). Since Orlando has played 4 more games than the Lakers, is there a conspiracy against them? No. They just got scheduled that way. The Lakers got hit with 9 road games because the first team to get a home game was the Clippers. What a conspiracy! LOL. That's what you're not understanding in your slow mind. There's not a conspiracy.
You claim we can't prove that the NBA didn't do this on purpose, but I already did. What you're trying to say is that the NBA, Staples Center and NHL all worked togther to fuck the Lakers. This is insane. And yet, you sit here and say that me saying the Lakers are liked by the league "proves your point?" The only thing it proves is that you using that childish excuse of "you don't watch the sport like I do" as a cushion to hide the fact that you're were proven to be an idiot by me. Why would the Staples Center screw over three of their sports teams? Why would the NHL screw the Kings over just to help the NBA fuck the Lakers over? Why wouldn't they just give the Clippers a 9 game home stand instead of sending them to play 7 games on the road? LOL.
You're seriously going to sit here and claim that this is all valid points? LOL. Can you really make a case for this? Can you really sit here and make an arguement to prove that the NBA indeed worked with the Staples Center and NHL to fuck over the Lakers? No, of course you can't. So, you'll say I don't watch the sport. I'll call you an idiot. You'll claim that I'm childish to turn the attention away from you make such a ridiculous statement as the NBA is in business to fuck the Lakers over by sending them on a 9 game road trip.

Holy shit, are you really this dumb? You're saying the Lakers have a 9 game road trip because they played less games as of now? YOU REALIZE THAT THE LEAGUE FIXES EVERY PART OF THE SCHEDULE, NOT JUST FEBRUARY, RIGHT? Holy shit, man, I can't fathom how someone can be this stubborn and dumb at the same time. AGAIN, DUMBFUCK, the Lakers have a much tougher schedule than the Clippers and they both play in the same venue. YOUR VERBAL ATTACKS AREN'T CHANGING THAT FACT...and once again, I never said there was a conspiracy. If you've been watching basketball this past few years, you'd know that no one can make a claim like "the league loves the Lakers" and keep a straight face, though. Phil fucking Jackson cemented that last season by taking a large fine for stating that there's been a witch hunt going on against Kobe and the Lakers. Obviously, you like to run your ignorant mouth just to go against the grain, despite the fact that me and Doggy have WAY MORE knowledge when it comes to the Lakers than your ass has about anything...
SGV's reason for the Lakers being given a 9 game road trip:
"they played less game as of now! the Clippers got the first home game!!!"
Explain how that makes a 9 game road trip any less tough? How can you claim someone else has a "slow mind"? :stupid:
-
You stated: did the league do it on purpose? That we'll never know for sure. But considering how the NBA and its officials have treated Kobe and the Lakers these past few year, I wouldn't put it past them.
I'm talking about the road games, since you guys are bringing them up. You entertain the thought that NBA set up the Lakers for a 9 game road trip. When you're presented with FACTS that it's not only the Lakers who are going through a Road trip, as their venue isn't holding any events at that time and the other two sports teams will also be on the road at the same time, you dodge it. You try to bring up other shit, such as "OmG tEheE sGv DoEsN't WaTcH bAsKeTbAlL lIkE mE aNd DoUcHeYsTyLiN do!!!! We HaVe aLl ThE kNoWlEdGe! TeEheE!!!!" But the simple fact remains, there's no conspiracy like you're claiming above.
Of course Phil Jackson will think his team is targeted, just like you douchebags. People rarely want to admit that their favorite team (or their actual team) do any wrong. So they make excuses like stupid conspiracy theories.
As far as the Lakers playing 2 more road games than the Clippers... And you're cry of blasphemy... Why have the Magic played 4 more games this season than the Lakers? LOL. You're an idiot to think that it's a conspiracy... An IDIOT!

SGV, I gotta give it to you dog, Doucheystylin is pretty damn creative. How did you ever come up with that? I mean attacking my online forum username by changing the first half to douche, dog you deserve a prize. Here's a dick in your mouth.

THE LEAGUE IS OUT TO GET THE BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
again, dumbfuck, how is a 7 game road trip and a 9 game road trip the same? try again (without bringing up hockey).
LOL, wow! Didn't you just tell someone else something about making your points without using insults? The first thing you do is call me a dumbfuck? You're obviously the brightest guy ever.
Back to the topic...
First of all, the Lakers DONT HAVE A 9 GAME ROAD TRIP!!! They have an 8 game road trip. Now would you explain to me the astronomical difference between a 7 game trip and an 8 game trip? And what the fuck are you talkin about hockey? You do realize the Portland Trail Blazers is a BASKETBALL team in the NBA right? You got your nerve to assume other people in this thread haven't kept up with NBA basketball in years when you think an NBA team that has been established since 1970 is a damn hockey team!
Holy shit...I thought SGV was bad, but this guy is taking it to another level. If you're not gunna read the whole thread, then don't comment. First of all, my insults to SGV were in retalition. You can clearly see that he started with the childish remarks in this thread, so he brought it upon himself.
Second of all, who the hell said the Blazers were a hockey team, smart guy? If you've been reading the posts, then you can clearly see SGV going on rants about the LA Kings. You can see that here:
The Kings (Hockey) play like 8 road games around then. Something must be going on at Staples the start of Feb. That's not the fault of the NBA. That's the venue. So you're saying that at the start of Feb, the NBA and NHL decided to send the Lakers, Clippers and Kings on a bunch of road games?
and here:
So, what you're saying is that you suspect the NBA, NHL and Staples Center teaming up all to screw the Lakers over? You realize how dumb that sounds right? The Staples Center probably makes most of their money thanks to the Lakers, why would they try to help screw them? They make decent money from the Kings and Clippers, too. So again, why would they try to help screw them? LMAO.
AND here:
I pointed out that another NBA team, that also plays at Staples, the Clippers, have a 7 game road trip at the same exact time and the NHL's Kings, who also play at Staples are having an 8 road game trip at the same exact time.
The Clippers have a 7 game road trip the same time and so do the Kings...
(I highlighted and underlined it for you so you wont miss it this time)
Third of all, the Lakers DO have a 9 game road trip. Learn to count:

So nothing you said in your post is right. LOL. Try again.
First of all what the fuck does YOUR response to ME have to do with ANYBODY ELSE?I don't give a fuck about your petty name calling on SGV or anybody else, but you are a hypocrite plain and simple because when you replied to MY post, the first thing you did was call me a dumbfuck. Bring up you and SGV all the fuck you want but that has nothing to do with me, get it? I AM NOT SGV, understand?
Second, I pointed out that Portland is about to go on a tough 7 game road trip against 6 .500 or better teams and you said for me to not use any hockey teams as a point of reference when I never said ANYTHING about hockey AT ALL. Are you following this or is this too much to handle at one time?
Third, ok, simple mistake on my part about the duration of the trip. I skipped over January and only looked at the February games. Moving on...
Ok now lets break down this disastrously unfavorable and extremely biased and difficult 9 game road trip. I'll start by comparing it to those NHL powerhouse Portland Trail Blazers 7 game road trip. Im going to bold the teams that Portland and LA both face on their respective trips.

Thats vs. 5 of the exact same teams.
Now for the major differences:
1.You play Detroit instead of Boston on your trip. Not a cakewalk, but would you rather play Boston?
2. You play the Wizards whose record is worse than the Hornets, who the Blazers play against on their trip.
Now that we have established that the first 7 games of your catastrophic 9 game road trip are essentially the same, save for the 2 games which LA has it slightly easier, lets cap this off by examining the final two powerhouses that drag your road trip to 9 games long...
3. Your road trip is capped off by games against the 13-23 Charlotte Bobcats and the reigning worst team in the league, the 5-30 Minnesota Timberwolves.
Do you really still believe the league gave LA those final 2 games to fuck the Lakers over???? I know it may be difficult for someone of your intellectual stature (or lack thereof), but at least ATTEMPT to think about this shit logically.

Every team has a long road trip somewhere in their schedule. What makes you think the Lakers schedule is any more difficult than any other Western conference team? Yes the traveling is going to be tough, but you're still failing to realize that there are going to be parts of the season that are equally easy.
Kobe bias? I thought we were talking about the Lakers' schecule. Changing the subject because your reasoning had ozone layer sized holes in it and your points have been thouroughly picked apart by me as well as others? Just be straight up about it with yourself, you're just being a homer. Everyone else can see it...

Aye so how about them Chargers ?

Again, dipshit, where in this thread did you give a logical reason as to why the Lakers have a 9 game road trip, while the Clippers have 7? You can't. All you're doing is going in circles about how the Staples Center is booked, but you can't acknowledge a thing I'm saying. What did I dodge, dumbshit? Unlike you, I've been addressing everything you said. AGAIN...I know the Staples Center is booked, jackass. But out of all the teams that play in the Staples Center, Lakers have the toughest schedule. And Phil Jackson makes excuses? LMAO. Idiot. What the fuck does it matter if the Magic have played 4 more games than the Lakers? Every team plays 82 games, moron. Not every team has a 9 game road trip...get the fuck out of here.

Do you really still believe the league gave LA those final 2 games to fuck the Lakers over???? I know it may be difficult for someone of your intellectual stature (or lack thereof), but at least ATTEMPT to think about this shit logically.
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Ok, I admit, I thought it was SGV who posted up that Blazers schedule, so my bad about that...But still, A 9 GAME ROAD TRIP AND A 7 GAME ROAD TRIP IS NOT THE SAME. Forget the teams, just the duration of the trip and the fact that there's more travelling involved, it's a bitch. No way can you say it's the same in toughness and actually believe it...Now, as I said before, there's no way to prove whether the league is doing it on purpose or not. But if the league wants the Lakers to succeed as its "cash-cow", as you claim, why would they give us a 9 game road trip when we already have one of the toughest schedules in the league this season? No way to prove whether it was done on purpose or not, but nobody out there can deny that the league and its officials have been holding a bias against Kobe and the Lakers these past few years...hell, Phil Jackson took a hefty fine last season standing up against it!...come on, now.
Every team has a long road trip somewhere in their schedule. What makes you think the Lakers schedule is any more difficult than any other Western conference team? Yes the traveling is going to be tough, but you're still failing to realize that there are going to be parts of the season that are equally easy.
Kobe bias? I thought we were talking about the Lakers' schecule. Changing the subject because your reasoning had ozone layer sized holes in it and your points have been thouroughly picked apart by me as well as others? Just be straight up about it with yourself, you're just being a homer. Everyone else can see it...
So the league holding a bias against Kobe has no affect on the Lakers? LOL, talk about reasoning. You're not as dumb as SGV, so I'm sure you can understand this- EVERY TEAM HAS A LONG ROAD TRIP, BUT THE LAKERS ARE THE ONLY TEAM WITH A 9 GAME ROAD TRIP. Nothing makes that more easy...NOTHING. Now tell me, where are the holes in my reasoning? Come on, lets hear it.

^^^Read through the thread, buddy. You will also notice that throughout the thread you disregard all reasoned responses to your conspiracy theory and continue to ramble on about the same shit that has been debunked already.
1.The Lakers schedule is no tougher than any other Western Conference team. You fail to acknowledge that.
2. You still fail to account for the extra 2 home games you get EVERY year.
3. This thread was never about some dreamed up Kobe Bryant bias. You simply drummed that one up after every point you made had already been refuted.
4. Yes, the Lakers have a 9 game trip, but are you going to tell me that the last 2 games of the trip arent "gimmes?"
5. Quit complaining. If the Lakers were still an elite team and still getting the benefit of the doubt on every call like they used to when Shaq was in town, you would have nothing to say about it.
-
Again, dipshit, where in this thread did you give a logical reason as to why the Lakers have a 9 game road trip, while the Clippers have 7? You can't.
But what you lack the sense to realize is that I used the Kings and Clippers' road trips as a point. They ALL play at Staples and they ALL have road trips at the SAME EXACT TIME. Meaning that there is something happening at Staples at that particular time which keeps ALL THREE of the teams out of the arena at the same time. And since the leagues can't stop because the teams venue is booked, they have to play their games somewhere, which would ultimately be the road.
-
AGAINNNNN....how does that address why the Lakers play 9 consecutive road games while the Clippers plays 7? LOL.
-
AGAINNNNN....how does that address why the Lakers play 9 consecutive road games while the Clippers plays 7? LOL.
Maybe because they don't have games scheduled for those dates. Its really not all that complex. Maybe when teams are getting scheduled, the farthest thing from the schedulers' minds is "how can we make sure the Lakers and Clippers have the exact same schedules?"

1.The Lakers schedule is no tougher than any other Western Conference team. You fail to acknowledge that.
WTF do you mean "you fail to acknowledge that"? LMAO. How the hell is having a 9 game road trip "no tougher" than having a 6 or 7 game road trip? PLEASE MAKE SENSE.
2. You still fail to account for the extra 2 home games you get EVERY year.
How is it a home game if most of the people (season ticket holders) are still rooting for the Clippers? :stupid:
3. This thread was never about some dreamed up Kobe Bryant bias. You simply drummed that one up after every point you made had already been refuted.
This thread was partially about how the NBA holds a bias towards the Kobe led Lakers. Can you put 1 and 1 together, buddy?
4. Yes, the Lakers have a 9 game trip, but are you going to tell me that the last 2 games of the trip arent "gimmes?"
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HOW TOUGH IT IS TO TRAVEL FOR 9 GAMES STRAIGHT? Nobody here is talking about how good the teams are. we're talking about how long and exasperating the road trip is.
5. Quit complaining. If the Lakers were still an elite team and still getting the benefit of the doubt on every call like they used to when Shaq was in town, you would have nothing to say about it.
Shaq used to get fouled on every play. Nowadays kobe gets fouled on every play. I admit, the Lakers used to get much more love from the league back in the days, but that's definitely not the case now, is it?

They don't have to have the same schedule, but how do you have the nerve to claim that a 9 game road trip and a 7 game road trip is the same? The league coulda' just as easily made it 8 and 8.

1. I see that when you have no answer to a question, you like to respond with an irrelevant question. Great tactic. Maybe you should try answering the question with an answer this time around...
2. Its in LA where no matter what team is the "home" team for the day, the Lakers will have a very formidable fan base. Come on man, hardly anybody is a fuckin Clipper fan.
3. THERE IS NO FUCKING KOBE BRYANT BIAS!!! lol Jesus Christ. The Blazers got fucked on a more than a few calls today. Does that mean there is a bias against the Roy led Blazers? Absolutely not. Sometimes shit just doesn't go your way. Get the fuck over it and stop pointing the finger at the god damn world.
4. How tough it is to travel for 9 games? Well, I don't know if you've ever looked at a map, but Detroit, Toronto, Washington DC and New Jersey are geographically pretty close, especially when you factor in the private team jet. Same goes for Atlanta, Miami, Orlando and Charlotte. The longest stretch is from Charlotte to Minnesota. Boo fucking hoo. Why are you still failing to account for the home stand or home stands that the Lakers will eventually have to balance this out?
5. Shaq and Kobe get fouled on every play? Another conspiracy theory. This really says it all about your train of thought right here. Whenever shit doesn't go your way, somebody is out to get the Lakers. Whenever shit goes your way, theres a conspiracy against the Lakers. If anything, I would argue that you probably could have called offensive fouls on damn near any possession where Shaq touched the ball, but I'm not dumb enough to actually believe that the NBA has some type of fucking system in place to make sure he's just a fouling machine on every possession. This is typical homer "logic" and you are allowing it to keep you from being realistic and reasonable.

No, God did not say the Clippers can't play basketball on those days. I will tell you exactly what happened. The evil David Stern and Stu Jackson got together one day and decided to fuck the Lakers chances at greatness off. Their grand scheme involved giving the "elite" Lakers a 9 game road trip against inferior competition and making sure that the Lakers and Clippers don't play all their road games on the exact same dates. Such an absolutely diabolically brilliant scheme I know, but its all true!
The "nerve" to claim 9 and 7 are the same???Nobody claimed 9 and 7 are the same, genius. LMAO get the fuck outta here man. You're not even attempting to support your wacky claims anymore. Now you're just trying to save face (and failing miserably) by typing empty words. Great job, Honcho.

I've been to home Clipper games vs. the Lakers...have you? Lakers have a big fanbase EVERYWHERE. This doesn't make their schedule any less tough.

LMFAO...This guys is actually going on about the distances throughout the states. I love it! You realize how far fetched your points are starting to sound, right? AGAIN, a 9 game road trip is not the same as a 7 game road trip, no matter which why you try and slice it up. Lakers longest homestand=5 games. Clippers longest homsetand=6 games (TWICE!). You lose again. LOL.
5. Shaq and Kobe get fouled on every play? Another conspiracy theory. This really says it all about your train of thought right here.

How is shit not going my way? Lakers are on top of the west, and I'm lovin it...I'm a VERY realistic dude. You just have a tought time admitting that the Laker schedule is not "as tough as every team in the west", like you boldly claimed right off the bat.

What you're saying doesn't change the fact that the Lakers have the longest road trip in the league...can you please put up a reasonable argument against that? You haven't even made one decent point yet. No, genius, having the longest road trip in the league doesn't mean that your schedule is just as tough as everyone elses. Now try something else.

<quote snipped>
I wonder how much longer going in these same circles and demolishing every point you try to make can keep me amused, but its fun for now...
1. You have yet to explain how they play a tougher schedule than anyone in the Western Conference. They place the same teams, the same amount of times. Yes, they have a 9 game road trip SO WHAT? They play back to backs a whopping 2 times during that span. The same as or even less than in some cases than damn near EVERY team in the league. Their longest home stand is only 5 games? BOO HOO. I guess that means they are only playing those 5 home games all year right?
2. Thank you for saying the same shit I said and showing that the Lakers do in fact play essentially what amounts to 43 home games a year. Boy the league is really screwing the Lakers.
3. The suspension was probably because Kobe is a repeat offender, as showcased in the clip THAT YOU FUCKING PROVIDED. Thanks!
4. NOBODY, I repeat NO FUCKING BODY in here said a 9 game trip is the same as a 7 game trip. What I am saying is that its not a huge God damn difference., not to mention it hurts your case when the extra 2 games you are complaining about at the end of the trip consist of the worst team in the league and another bottom feeder. Yes, I pointed out the distances between the cities because YOU in all your simple minded glory pointed out how "difficult" it is to travel for 9 games. How difficult is it and how much sleep do they lose making short trips on a private jet? Virtually NONE.
5. The Lakers are on top of the West? They're not even on top of their own god damn division. And no, you are not being realistic, because in your homerism, you believe that the Lakers can do no wrong and the NBA has it out for Kobe and the Lakers whenever shit doesn't unfold the way you want it to. Case in point: your take on the Kobe suspension and the Lakers schedule.

Nobody is arguing that they have the longest trip in the league. But you are the one making the claim that somehow your road games are going to be more difficult than anyone else's road games, even though 2 of your road games ARE IN FUCKING STAPLES CENTER!
-
Ok NIK, here's why the Clippers don't play 8 road games or 9:
Jan 30, the Hawks end their Western Conference road trip against the Clippers and head back home to play the Nets. On Feb 13, the Wizards are playing the Clippers to end their trip to the West then they shoot back home to play New York.
There's 29 other teams in this league who the NBA has to schedule as well. They can't just change everyone's schedules because of two or three whiney Laker fans who want to have a reason to say "Well if the Lakers did bad, it's because the league hates us!!! :'( " Grow up.

I'm done with you. If you're not bright enough to understand that a 9 game road trip makes your schedule tougher than not having a 9 game road trip, then you're a lost cause. Your haterism became self-evident when you backed the NBA's suspension of Kobe after watching both clips. :grumpy:

"they're not even on top of their own damn division" hahahaha
The Lakers have the best record in the west according to the loss column, which is what matters (they're only behind Phoenix and Dallas in the standings cuz they've played less games).

The people who do the scheduling are a tad bit smarter than you, I'm sure they coulda' figured out a way to give EVERY team an even amount of road-trips.
answer this:
Does it even out that the Lakers have a 9 game road-trip and a 5 game home-stand while the Clippers have a 7 game road-trip and a 6 game home-stand?

As well you should be. You've been thoroughly picked apart more times than any human should like to be in a single thread and you completely failed to address any points made and continued to rehash your debunked conspiracy theories repeatedly. You had to get demoralized sooner or later. One more time for old times sake though:
The Lakers play 43 games in their own arena and 39 in others. Every other team besides the Clippers plays 2 less games in their own arena. Quit whinin like a damn 14 year old bitch. Oh the poor poor Lakers, they have it sooooo tough. They have to play a big chunk of their 39 road games at once, boo hoo hoo. If we lose a game that means the NBA is out to get us.
And for the record, I didn't "back" the Kobe suspension, but offered a probable reason why the suspension was issued. The sad part about it is that the evidence is right there in the damn source that you provided and you still don't want to believe that maybe Kobe just fucked up twice and had to pay for it. No, it couldn't be that BECAUSE THE LEAGUE IS OUT TO GET THE LAKERS!
You lose AGAIN.
-
Now, when you ask that, do you take in factors such as The Kings playing at Staples? How about other events being held there? Probably not. Did you also take in to consideration that the other teams also might be on road trips and it would make it difficult to just change things around?
Also, the Lakers are an elite team according to you. So giving a hurting Clippers team who from jump were without their star and their key back up PG 7 road games in comparison to an elite Lakers team 2 extra road games still isn't that bad. Is it fair? If you look at the numbers, no. Does it make sense when you consider one team is elite and the other team sucks? Yes.
The Lakers are elite. 9 road games shouldn't be shit to them. Right? Or does Flying from Orlando ALL THE WAY to Miami hurt this Elite team that much?
-
"they're not even on top of their own damn division" hahahaha
The Lakers have the best record in the west according to the loss column, which is what matters (they're only behind Phoenix and Dallas in the standings cuz they've played less games).
According to the win loss column, they are not even on top of their own division, smart guy. According to win %, they are not on top of their division. Are you gonna tell me now that they are the defending champs but the only reason they dont get recognized as such is because they played in less playoff games than the guys who DO get recognized as the defending champs? Brilliant logic.

Yes because David Stern is a despicable, diabolical man and he is going to have Al Qaeda blow their plane up on that trip.

Oh that David Stern! What an asshole. He has out for the Lakers.

you guys make a great tag-team... dumb and dumber. being stubborn and moronic is one of the worst combinations a human can be cursed with.

Of course the league secretly hates it most popular and profitable franchises in the West Coast capital. It makes total sense. I mean look how they make them play on Christmas day and shit. David Stern doesn't want them to spend time with their families on Christmas? Fuck him.

Of course the league secretly hates it most popular and profitable franchises in the West Coast capital. It makes total sense. I mean look how they make them play on Christmas day and shit. David Stern doesn't want them to spend time with their families on Christmas? Fuck him.
You're trying to be funny but its not uncommon for a boss to have personal opinions towards his employees. When Game was signed to G-Unit 50 hated him but still wanted him to sale records. Why? Because in the end he profited from it. Same applies here. Stern loves making money off the Lakers but he hates Kobe. Lebron is his lil golden boy so he's the one he wants to succeed.

Thats it! I'm convinced now! Thank you so much. I can see the light now. The NBA HATES Kobe and they are out to ruin the Lakers because Game and 50 Cent don't get along. Thank you for opening my eyes.

aye yall niccas aint seein the bigger picture here, this nicca david stern made sure to fuc the lakers season up by giving this tough ass schedule. if he woulda never scheduled them to play the grizzlys tonite at home - which is a hard ass game to play - then bynum woulda never hurt his knee. now they gotta fly 100 hours all the way across the world to play the best team in the nba, the sonics. this is all a set up to make em lose to the suns, cuz its not fair for the lakers to have to play bac to bac games without they center.

i didnt bother to read through every post that I missed. But how does this seem to be so difficult to understand? lol. The weaker your team is recordwise, the harder your schedule is based on opponents win percentage. Its a fact. This is the NBA, not the NFL. Every team, plays every other team. If your team plays 9 road games....guess what, they have to play 9 home games to make up for those 9 road games. Every team has stretches of their schedule that are harder then other teams stretches at THAT particular time. But the overall schedule isnt harder for any one team.
Lets make this simple. Say I have a league with 4 teams. Each team plays eachother at home....and on the road one time. Does team 1 have a harder schedule then team 4? Uhh....no. :stupid:
Bottom line is you have SOME fans who are trying to make their team look better by pretending that their team is overcoming some incredible odds that the rest of the league isnt. They think its cool to be the "bad guy". What makes it funny to the rest of us level headed folks who argue with logic is, that the Lakers have NEVER been considered the bad guys of the league. If anything, theyre the sweethearts of the league. And i DO mean sweet :camp:. lol Sorry, had to do that. If there were ever a team that the league WOULDNT want to hold down (assuming they would want to hold ANY team down) it would be the team with the largest bandwagon fanbase and therefor great ratings, Los Angeles Lakers. It would be like the Cowboys pretending the league was trying to keep them from winning...or the MLB was trying to hold down the Yankees lol.
Face it, the reason you guys havent won any championships since Shaq left is simple. You havent been good enough. The years when my team didnt win titles....guess what, we werent good enough that year.
-
^^^STOP IT!!! YOU'RE MAKING ENTIRELY TOO MUCH SENSE!!!
-
What it is... is this...
David Stern is jealous of Kobe. He hates that when Kobe does well, more revenue is brought to his league!!! He HATES that! He can't stand that Kobe makes comments about wanting to get traded, which also bring more attention to his league!!!! The nerve of Kobe for bringing money and attention to the NBA! No wonder David Stern hates him.

seriously. David Stern would send about 5 small market NBA teams over to the WNBA if he could get a Lakers vs Celtics finals.

Since you seem a tad bit more intelligent than the rest of these morons, I'll give you a response. There is DEFINITELY such thing as a tough schedule and an easy schedule in the NBA. Last season, the Lakers had an easy schedule. This season, the Lakers have a tough schedule. You can say that it evens out when you "play more home games" all you want, but that doesn't take away from the wear and tear that comes along with a league-leading 9 GAME ROAD TRIP. And your logic gets shitted on when you take a look at the fact that the Lakers not only have the longest road trip in the league, but also the shortest home-stand...so do you still think their schedule is "just as easy" as anyone else? Even if you wont admit it, you know that's not the case....and BTW, sorry Tone, but the last time the league was down with the Lakers was when Shaq was still around. That should be common sense to anyone who's been following the Lakers...PeACe

Do you realize that if you stood in ANY basketball stadium at half time with a mic and tried to say that the league was down with Kobe, everyone in the arena would start bursting out in laughter? Of course not, cuz you haven't followed the NBA since the early 90s. To deny that the league has held a bias against Kobe these past few years is astonishing. I haven't heard ANY basketball fan try to argue this, until now. SGV...You ARE something else.
-
LMAO. Yeah, NIK. Cuz I'm the ONLY person who thinks you're full of shit with your Kobe theories... You, my friend, are an extreme moron.
-
MY Kobe theories? LOL. That alone shows what an ignorant dumbshit you are. Don't argue if you don't know what you're speakin on.

Yes your Kobe theories. If they're not YOUR theories, you're simply a media puppet. You're obviously listening to others and just mimicking what they say and think. NIK = Dumbshit, Ignorant, Conspiracy Theorist, Media Puppet. Ouch.

Yea...everyone knows how much I love the media. and everyone knows you don't ride my nuts.

The only thing too painful to accept is how much you follow me around in threads to ride my nuts. Pubic lice sucks.

I'm sure the "wear and tear" that comes along with 9 straight games on the road is much more difficult to cope with than a 7 or 8 game road trip. And I'm sure it must be rough having to endure multiple 4 and 5 game home stands. This gets compounded by the fact that David Stern made Bynum roll his ankle. To think the NBA is out to get the Lakers is to think that the extra game or 2 on your road trip makes or breaks the season for the "elite" Lakers. I think you might be mistaking no longer getting the benefit of the dount on 90% or the calls with the NBA cheating you.

Still waiting for you to show me where anybody but you typed the words "a 9 game trip is just like a 7 game trip." Also still waiting for you to come up with even a shred of evidence that the NBA wants the Lakers NOT to succeed. You could also show me where I talk about the Lakers in any thread where it wasn't brought up before I posted anything about it. Try answering without making up false quotes this time.

Here's more than a shred of evidence that the NBA holds a bias against Kobe/Lakers:

A few paranoid Laker homers on rants rooted in a baseless conspiracy theory is not evidence. The only thing close to evidence you posted was in regards to the Kobe suspension, but that was soon shown not to be evidence of bias, because Kobe was also proven to be a habitual offender in that same clip. Just face facts buddy. The league has no agenda against the Lakers. Your team has a rough stretch but its not much more rough than any other team's long stretch on the road, especially when you consider the teams they play on that stretch. So you can try again as far as your evidence is concerned.
Now, I'm assuming you are not showing me any posts where anybody but you said that a 9 game trip is the same as a 7 game trip because nobody else did. Its harder to make your points when you don't make up faulty quotes isn't it?

so playing 9 straight road games is not tougher than playing 5-7 consecutive road games? That's where you lost.
PS...Type "the league hates Kobe" or "the NBA hates Kobe" in a search...Now try that with any other player in the NBA. :-*

Another thing...your dumbass logic of Kobe being suspended cuz he's a "repeat offender" is flawed. Obviously, the NBA suspended him the first time it happened. And what is he a "repeat offender" of to begin with? A strong follow through? LOL. :grumpy:

Turf Hitta, stop attacking me! You're not David Stern and I'm not Kobe!!

It's not a blog...it's the fact that there are MANY results for one, but none for the other. I mean, if it was just 3 or 4 results, okay. But 39. That's 39x the amount the other results returned. But like I said, ANY evidence short of David Stern admitting he doesn't like Kobe will get dismissed by you, because you're in a close-minded mindset. So keep thinking what you think, cuz it's obvious that nothing is enough for you.

Also...another one that wasn't on youtube was when Matt Barnes intentionally pulled Turiaf to the floor from the neck, and got NOTHING. not even a flagrant. I can go on forever with examples, but you're just gunna have excuses, so what's the point?
This is better, but what would you say if I could show you similar instances of LA players getting away with things and other players on other teams not getting away with them?

How many times do I have to ask before you answer? Lets try again? Who said a 9 game trip is the same as a 7 game trip? Provide a source, not an empty contrived quote.
p.s. telling me to do a search is not providing evidence of anything. if you are going to take such an outrageous stance on something, be prepared to provide a source or be called on your bullshit.
its not much more rough than any other team's long stretch on the road
and here, I'll do the work for you:
the NBA hates Kobe search (21 results) (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22the+nba+hates+kobe%22&btnG=Search)
the league hates Kobe search (39 results) (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22the+league+hates+kobe%22&btnG=Search)
Other players:
the league hates Nash search (0 results) (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22the+league+hates+nash%22&btnG=Search)
the league hates Lebron search (1 result [in sarcarsm]) (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22the+league+hates+lebron%22&btnG=Search)
the league hates Carmelo search (0 results) (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22the+league+hates+carmelo%22&btnG=Search)
Several blogs by whiny finger pointing Laker fans does not suffice as evidence to support your claim, sorry.

Right, its not a blog. Its a google search where the vast majority (if not all) of the results are blogs. A blog is not evidence because anybody can make any ridiculous claim they want without providing a source or checking facts. The fact that there are results for your search and not nearly as many for the others is not evidence of anything other than the existence of finger pointers and excuse makers.

Then you'd have a case...but seriously, are you not starting to see how the NBA has been bias against Kobe and the Lakers?

No but I can understand how a serious fan (homer, lol) might percieve it that way. In the 2000 WCF I could have sworn the refs,Stern etc had an agenda to make LA the champs, if not an agenda to simply make sure Portland didn't make it. There were several questionable calls/no-calls that seemed to ALL benefit the Lakers. But the thing was, I was looking at it from the perspective of a die hard Blazer fan. When you approach it that way, you're not going to see the objective truth. It may very well be your own personal bias toward the Lakers making you view it the way you do.

I see your point... but looking at some of the calls the NBA and its officials make against the Lakers, whether it be Kobe getting hammered on multiple plays with no whistle, or getting suspended for a follow through when you have other players choking opponents and getting nothing, it's hard to see someone say "the NBA loves the Lakers" without laughing...I remember I once accused the refs of cheating the Lakers out of an important playoff victory against the Suns last season, only to get mocked by a bunch of different Laker haters on this site...a few months later, Tim Donaghy came out admitting that he sabotaged that very game in the Suns' favor. My eyes don't lie to me...PeACe
