Lakers???????????

Do you think Lakers are a good team? WHY?!

i think they rock, hahahaha.

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lakers???????????nba warriors

They are a good team, right now along with the Spurs, they are playing the best basketball in the NBA. There are still some 20 games left though and with the race so close right now, they could drop to a 5 seed in a few games. I do think they or the Spurs will finish #1 in the West though. It is nice to see that The Lakers brass finally got Gasol to help out Kobe. Still, the Werst is going to be an extremely tough battle this year. Kobe is still the best player in the NBA.

Lakers???????????nba records ,nba teams

THE LAKERS ARE WINNING THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!

thelakersnation.com
only the best in the NBA
Yes , there starting unit is very strong. Kobe and Fisher, one of the better guard combinations. Also one of the better frontlines, in Bynum,Gasol, and Odom. Walton , farmer, and Turiaf off the bench. Could use a shooter off the bench!
The Lakers have always been a great team! Their tradition is about winning championships - they've the 2nd most championships in NBA history and are the winningest team in NBA history. They are a franchise with a history of winning, some great loyal fans, and it looks like the Lakers are back!!!

i can't wait to hang a couple of more banners up in the Staples Center and hopefully we'll catch the Celtics for the most NBA championships by the end of the decade.

They have great chemistry and are playing hard which had been a little lacking the last couple of years. I really like the cast of players they have and with Ariza and Bynum coming back they can be a force to reckon with in the playoffs!

GO LAKERS!!!

1st reason: they have kobe

2nd gasoul
they are a great team, Kobe is on fire and the rest of the team is playing around him, i think the lakers can go all the way
YES! the BEST in the WEST..........
I do think they are a good team. I think at the moment they are playing some of the best basketball in the league. I think the Gasol trade has worked out really well, given them a good inside presence, given KB24 something to work with. I think when Bynum comes back, this trade will look even better than it does right now. They are playing a team oriented game which suits them a lot better. The pick and roll with Kobe and Gasol, is one of the most unstoppable moves in basketball right now. I do question their depth though. They are a really solid team through the first 7 players, but a little suspect after that. They should go deep in to the playoffs though....
lakers aren't good..

their greeeaat

LIKE FROSTED FLAKES

Kayla is an idiot to assumed that most fans of the lakers are only fans of Kobe.

As long as the lakers are based in Los Angeles I will remain a Lakers fan.

Just because the team is doing well and Kobe is great, doesn't mean all fans only has a rooting interest in Kobe
big Lakers fan, maybe a little bias (and by a little imean a lot)

of course theyre a good team, tied for 1st in the west, and the have kb24, so thats a definite YES

LETS GO LAKERS!!!
Of course there good they have the best player in Kobe and are gonna get even better when they get Bynum
hell yes they r the shzi i am a diehart laker fan they rock the socks off the building!!! and all the haters jsu hate bcuz the team they liek prob suxs and i love the lakers they r so great i am a fan no matter wat happens to them win or loose i am still a fan!!!!! GOOOO LAKERS
i think you rock too for thinking the lakers rock
Yes. Because they have a good record.
Of course they have a good team they have good players at every position especially sense they got Gasol. They have a deep bench once they all get healthy and they're pretty good. Last but no least the Lakers have the best player on the planet on their team.
They are a good team now and I love it. The one season a few years back when they missed the playoffs, I lost all interest in the NBA postseason because I had no one to root against. Now they are back to the playoffs and they keep finding exciting new ways to lose a first round series. They are just good enough to make the playoffs, where they keep finding creative ways to falter. I love it.
I dont know bout you guys

but I think the NBA owes Kobe the 2007, 2006, 2005 MVPs
They are but the Celtics are even Better, so much better they are in the Playoffs by beating Detroit.

GO CELTICS
of course they are good. They just will never be as good as Jordan's Bulls. but that doesnt stop them from being a great team tho, certainly much better than the stupid SUns!
don't you mean you think kobe rocks? people only like the lakers cuz kobe..

Did Kobe and the Lakers get screwed against the Suns?

Nah, they just plain suck. That explains why they barely finished above .500 and barely limped into the playoffs.

Did Kobe and the Lakers get screwed against the Suns?basketball tickets

Lakers have always sucked but just even more so this season. I Love watching the Lakers play the Suns. Humiliation... I Loved watching Larry Brown's Pistons %26amp; Lakers in 2004. That last game was awesome.

Now I understand Dan Druf's hostility towards the best team in the NBA...The Suns - slaughtered his precious Laker team :(

P.S. I have lived in LA for the last 18 years. If I am going to root for LA maybe, just maybe one day it will be for the Clippers.

Did Kobe and the Lakers get screwed against the Suns?nba warriors ,nba teams

NEXT TIME TEL D'ANTONI NOT TO PAY THE REFS TO THROW THE GAME IT WAS OBVIOUS THE REFS ARE ALWAYS AGAINST THE LAKERS WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HATE THE GREAT?
I'm a Lakers fan and I say they just didn't have enough help. The only factors were Kobe, Lamar, and Walton. They don't have good role players that the problem. As for last year they had your Suns beat but I give em their props though. If you look at all the Championship teams they had complementary players. Jordan had Pippen, Ron Harper who averaged 20 with Cleveland, Kukoc, B.J. Armstrong, Kerr, Paxon, Winnington, and later Rodman.
why are we talking about the losers in L.A anyway?
hahaha true just like they will next year and i hope kobe gets even more mad
Did Amare %26amp; the Suns get screwed against the Spurs? Nah, they just plain suck. Quit your whining Jeff. Grow a pair. Act like a man. Quit sniveling like a little girl.
be quiet
kraziballer...

I am a huge Laker fan, and a huge Kobe fan. But my answer is definetly not invalid. I know the Lakers suck, most Laker fans do. If anyone is biased, its you, against Laker fans. Everyone in the world knows the Suns are a better team than the Lakers. But if im not mistaken, right now the Suns are in the exact same place as the Lakers... and that is FISHIN'.

I agree that the Suns are much better than the Lakers. The Lakers need to get some more help for Kobe, nobody can win by themselves. Nash couldnt win without Stoudimire, Bell, Marion, etc. Nobody can win all by themselves.
Well will you look at that.. a crybaby Suns fan taking his anger out on the Lakers. Dude, get over it! The Suns lost and the Spurs won! All your crying and immaturity won't make a difference, now suck it up and take it like a man, it's what a REAL fan does.
uh, how long ago was this. Since the suns lost to the spurs, are you trying to make them still look good by saying they beat LA. At least the lakers did win the championsip before. What has nash won: nothing. So don't disrespect the lakers, they already had their championships many times.
if you're a laker or kobe fan, your input is next to invalid, seeing as you're biased...but no..obviously the Suns are a WAAAYYYY better TEAM than the Lakers, who used to have an actual lineup, what with Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Shaq, all who have since leaving LA have shown up in their respective conference finals (excluding shaq, this year). Like i said, Fisher led the Jazz (def. not a fan of Utah), and Horry's made some key plays for the Spurs the last three seasons (not counting the body check on Nash). All in all, the lakers just couldn't compete with Phoenix, last year, this year or any forseeable time in the near future, btw, Kobe is a one-dimensional player, who didn't deserve the defensive team selection
lakers suck,really bad. i have a lot respect for kobe but he can't do the job by himself they need at least 2 good people to back him up

Lakers???????

Why are the lakers so whinny when the are winning!! Right now kobe leads the leage in Technical Fouls and he gets them when there really is no reason to cry about stuff. Who else agrees they are screwing themselves over for the playoffs by whinning to the refs about stupid things

Lakers???????nba draft history

I agree with you, but I must say the Lakers are on fire!

Lakers???????nba playoffs 2007 ,nba teams

Why are you whining? Jealousy??
u hater u dont know anything about basketball. First in the west remember it!!!
why dont u worry about ur self and ur sorry team!!!
they are and they suck still
It helps keep his teammaes with desire, yesterday when they were playing the Heat, you could tell they were playing lightly, then he gets fired up and starts making plays, talking to the teammates to focus more. He plays with passion, besides itsnot like he does it out of nowhere, he usually only complains when he think he got fouled, and he did get fouled in Seattle.
most teams do that take last year when the pistons were the best. rasheed wallce led the league with technical fouls. i mean it is a stupid thing to do when ur winning. so probably they arnt used to getting fouls called on them so they get angry for no reason and act stupid. the winning is just getting the best of them
yea they are on a roll but they will be even better with bynum- oh man- that team will be so stacked then

famar/fisher-kobe-odom-gasol-bynum

no where is there a better lineup and they are relatively young!
i dunno
we are not whinny and when u consistently get pushed by defender and the ref are not callin it i think u have the right to talk to the ref .its not like he is geting mad or anything but the refs are not giveing a foul call to the lakers !
Lol i dont know! He needs to learn to keep his mouth shut!!! I think he shouldve learned by now 29 yrs old. GROW UP KOBE!!

the lakers do have some great young talent and they might be overall more talented, but even though there bench is terrible i have the Celtics in 7, only because you can't beat out the experience and ability of the big three. If the lakers bench can do what they did in game 5 against the spurs throughout the series it would give Kobe Odom and Gasol rested giving the lakers a good chance of winning though
The Lakers are a one man show and would not win anything without wife slapper, adulterer Kobe. The Celtics are more of a team effort and could win without one of the big 3 having a good game. If Kobe does not have a good game, the Lakers will lose.
Celtics
welll being a boston fan im kinda biased. i would go with THE CELTICS. but both teams are good enough to make it to the finals, and they both have really good players, so i dont know which one is really better. (go boston!! =P )
The Lakers and the Celtics have always stood out because they are rival teams like the red sox and yankees... They are both excellent teams... I personally think the Lakers Because they are well executed and put on a show thats entertaining! I always thought the lakers! The Celtics are Great but I am for the Lakers... But not as much as my home team NJ Nets... I also Like the cavs!!
lakers duh lakers more popular than celtics!!! kobe and pau can beat them
as team, yes bcoz of jackson

indvidually celtics has the edge
Nope.... CELTICS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?

Celtics - Every one from the U.S.

From California

Ray Allen - Merced, California

Paul Pierce - Oakland, California

Leon Powe - Oakland, California

Eddie House - Berkeley, California

Gabriel Pruitt - Los Angeles, California

Brian Scalabrine - Long Beach, California

Lakers - players from: spain, france, congo, serbia, slovenia

From California only 2

Jordan Farmar - Los Angeles, California

Luke Walton - San Diego, California

So how do the (F)akers represent California?

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?nba news

Your point is obvious, and a good one. However people root for a team more than the individual players that it is comprised of. So rooting for the Lakers means rooting for your city. People aren't as concerned who or where the people come from, because once they are there, they become part of the team, and part of the city.

Bottom line- The Lakers (although i like your thinking)

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?nba all star game ,nba teams

They represent LOS ANGELES! thats why! game 5 here we come! GO LAKERS!!!.........AHHH LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOME LAKER HATERS.... ITS OK.
celtics alot more than the lakers
If I am a relative of any Celtics, I will root for the Celtics. No matter what.
Wow, that's pretty funny. But you have to think about it, Kobe's from Philly, but how long has he been in LA playing basketball? His entire 12 seasons, Odom's been there for a while as well but you have to realize that they are there to get paid to play basketball. If they were traded or drafted somewhere else, sure enough they would represent that basketball team not the city.
Lol! they rep cali more then they do! they def need to win sunday then lol
