I understand you Sauru. You have a valid reason to hate the Lakers and I don't consider you as a natural born hater because you're rooting for a particular team, you're rooting for Boston. You're watching NBA to support a team, which of course can lead to hating an opposing team because of rivalries. You're not just a hater because of unidentified, bitchy reason.
Sun May 31, 2009 12:25 am
So what is a bitchy reason then?
Sun May 31, 2009 12:33 am
Is that the bandwagoner/anti-bandwagoner rant you're talking about?
Sun May 31, 2009 12:39 am
That's unidentified as I have said but I think if there's anybody here that can identify that bitchy thing then that would be the Lakers haters who doesn't really root for a particular team. You know, the people who hates the Lakers because they're popular. The Kobe is a rapist people, the Fakers guys, you know. I can't really tell.

Damn Howard will get dunked on again if they advance to the finals

Sad day for Nuggets fans like me.. Better luck next year I guess.. Lakers really played well and they deserve to advance.. Now I am rooting for Kobe and the Lakers to win it all..

Lakers won 2-0 in Season Series v Cavaliers
Lakers lose 0-2 in Season Series v Magic ( Look out for this match-up

I'm hoping that the Lakers and the Magic will face-off in this years Finals !

Jameer Nelson played a vital role on that 2 wins against the Lakers but now he;s out.
Sun May 31, 2009 2:04 am
Alston has been a solid replacement for Nelson ever since he got injured. Eventhough he doesn't score as well as Nelson, his experience and play running skill has been invaluable for the Magics. In addition, people seems to pay too little attention to Alston so he's left wide open on many occasions. If he knocks down those open shots then it wont be an easy series. It wasn't supposed to be easy anyway.
By the way, I dont think there has to be a reason as to why we hate the Lakers. Bottom line is we hate them and that's all there is too it. There's no bitchy reasons whatsoever, or maybe there is but the main point is that people who hate the Lakers simply doesn't like them.

Rumours has it that Jameer Nelson will play if the Orlando Magic reaches this years Finals .
Sun May 31, 2009 2:18 am
I've heard it too, but I think his injury was too serious to recover from it in this season. But if Nelson said so...
Sun May 31, 2009 2:21 am
Yeah. Rumours. Personally I dont think he should play in the finals though, not because he's not physically ready or anything but because the Magics will have to adjust so many things in order to fit him in after all those games he missed, and there's nearly not enough time to make changes and I dont think it'll work out in such a short period of time. I think the Magics are better off without Nelson at the moment, their current rotation right now is working well and I dont think the risk is worth taking. He could make instant positive impact but on the other hand he might completely interrupt their flow. That's why I wouldn't take the risk. Besides, he's not fully recovered anyway and he'll definitely struggle on the court. How much he struggles is a different story but he definitely will.

IF this is true, he could help his team, coming from bench and playing limited minutes. Alston struggled as well, especially in game 5 (1-10 from the field). Personally I think he could be better matchup against LA point guards than Rafer, even if he's not 100% healthy. But there's 1 or 2 games still left in the ECF, so let's think about it after we'll for sure who's playing in the Finals and who's not.

He said Luke Walton, I changed it to Lamar Odom. Trevor Ariza would have sufficed, too. You can change a posters message when you quote them, that's how.
Sun May 31, 2009 6:29 am
Odom, oh Odom.
Pau was passing like a PG out there.
The last game showed how awesome LA can be if they are patient on offense (they were extremely patient) and comitted on defense. Awesome. Championship basketball right there.

Many predicted Billups to be a difference in this series in favor of Denver just like how he has been in previous two. Too bad he couldn't keep it up though.

In all fairness he had a legit shot last year too. I don't think the MJ/Kobe debate ever really went away. Even if the Lakers had gone 0-82 this season, it would still be there. The comparisons are inevitable.

True, but then the same could be said of some of the fanboys out there. Comparisons, fanboys and haters...all inevitable when you're talking about players of certain magnitudes.
