Would the #8 seed be so bad?

[DaRizzle]

I just cant stand Mamba...his "act" is lame 99% of his opinions are overreactions and hes a mod and cant put him on ignore so im forced to skim through his bs when i want to read a thread...no other complaints

...dont worry about doing anything about it but you asked why

...Ill still go cause I love my Lakers but whatever...

 

[DaRizzle]

Sorry, Im hijacking this thread...

Ive said it before..without being offensive POR is the one team that isnt a contender that scares me the most. SA and UTAH are the real contenders to knock off the Lakers but between the other 5 teams in the west playoffs POR scares me the most. Not only does your guys absolute hate of the Lakers help but you guys just seem to match up very well against us....If it was to happen I say Lakers in 6, maybe 5

 

[gambitnut]

I can't remember, is the first round 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1?

 

[huevonkiller]

22111

 

[rocketeer]

wouldn't you much rather get the 4 seed and then meet the lakers in the 2nd round?

 

[huevonkiller]

Don't be shy about going to the Laker forum with good intent, anyone like that is welcomed. I'm sure we can all respect each other and trash talk in a fun manner, if not I will facilitate that in whatever fashion possible.

when someone's "posting style" is too overreact with as much of a one sided opinion as possible, it really isn't all that appealing of a place to go for reasonable conversation.

Yeah I understand, that's unfortunate. I'll see what I can do.

Well I don't know I'm old fashioned I guess. I just skim over posts I don't want to read, I never bothered to put anyone on ignore, even as a non-mod.

i have never put anyone on ignore in my message board history and generally i at least try to do the same as far as posts i don't want to read(well usually i read them and just don't respond). but at the same time i can understand people not wanting to go through it all.

 

[huevonkiller]

If there are any egregious issues at the forum I preside over, I'll definitely look into it. The staff in general usually knows how to turn things around.

I know that _I_ would.

I'd rather have the 6th seed, even, and face them in the third round.

My personal hope/belief is that we can somehow take advantage of a better-than-expected road trip and blowing through our home-heavy schedule at the end of the year to overtake the Spurs for #2. I think we could beat DEN/HOU/NOH if we have HCA, and would give the Spurs a run for their money if we had HCA.

Then, playing the L*kers in the WCF? It'd be fun.

With potentially Oden and Webster coming back, we're back to the team I predicted would win 58 ( ) and going to the WCF. It's too late to make up the 58, but it's possible to get the #2 seed, and if that happens we can make WCF

There is no way you are saying this shit with a straight face...this is a new low for you

You have fooled others but not me! You are all gimmick! Whatever gets a rise out of people right???

Between this comment and disappearing when the Blazers were on a roll its so obvious!

What real fan no matter how pessimistic would just dissapear when their supposed team beats the team with the best record and it also happens to be the most hated team of your team...that screams bullshit

You are not a Blazers fan. I dont mean that in the sense like you arent devoted enough...i mean it literally

You literally are not a Blazers fan and never were...youve just gotten a hard on for the past 3+ years fucking with peoples emotions

DaRizzle, I hate to break it to you, but he's one of yours. He proudly wears the Purple & Piss. I have no beef with someone from LA being a die-hard L*kers fan, but how does it feel to have every pathetic frontrunner in the country pretend they're L*ker fans when times are good?

It's something to which we don't give enough credence: The inferior team that has the superior team's number. Every team has a Kryptonite Opponent. It seems that for some reason we're the L*ker's KO. For us it's Dallas, Golden State and Seattle/OKC.

 

[Foulzilla]

So now Utah is a lesser team

I think he means lesser as compared to the Lakers. Which I don't think is an unreasonable claim given their respective records.

 

[maxiep]

and Ariza gets knocked down by Greg too, just if we see enforcer Oden come out I'll be happy.

I would LOVE it if GO really got pissed on the court and took someone down. He's a strong dude.

 

[MARIS61]

LA would have 2 chances of beating us in the playoffs this year.

Slim and none.

Keep your butt-hurt Ego to yourself, or at worst, use a pm.

I would be pleased if they got in no matter the position.

From a purely entertainment stand point, I would want Portland to play the Lakers during the playoffs. Don't care what round. Considering the energy level in the RG during the last regular season game, I am guessing a playoff game would be off the chain. Half of the fun would be watching fights break out in the stands. That and every Portland win would be Sunshine and Puppy Dogs.

I think Portland would take at least 2 home games in series. I don't know if they can beat LA in LA due to the "NBA loves LA" factor. But a game 6 in Portland would be money.

 

[Toko]

Actually, I think it will do Portland good. You're gonna lose either way, so if you play the N.1 team in the west in a somewhat competitive series(say 6 games) that will give them the playoff experience they need so dearly.

 

[MrJayremmie]

It wouldn't be the end of the world, but man, I'm really hoping for a top 6 seed.

That's what I was thinking. Game 6 in Portland.... would be CRAZY! But another Game 7 in LA could absolutely just be another heartbreaker I could live without...

You can hate me all you want buddy, but the last thing I am is a front runner. I've been with this team forever. Go back to my original posts from JBB back in April of 2003. I've been with the Lakers' all along. If you came out of this bat cave every once in awhile, you'd know that.

But again, you can come to our forum in April/May if we do meet. We'll gladly host you folks.

Genius is a little over the top. I'm smart, but definitely not a genius :]

Wow...youve been a Lakers fan since they had 4 HOF players on the same team, how non bandwagonish of you

 

[Toko]

Laker fans arguing which one is less of a bandwagon fan Priceless.

Did you even read the post? I said go back to April of 2003 when I joined JBB. That's when I started posting. I've been a Lakers' fan since I got into basketball because I grew up and only got Lakers' games on TV.
