[Headache in a Suitcase]

Didn’t someone (maybe you) make this same case last season...before they went on to win the title?

If that reasoning helps you sleep at night, good for you I guess.

It’s just funny that for people who like to analyze basketball, the convo always seems to dry up when it the Lakers who are doing really well.

Counterpoint: the resident laker fan only shows up when the Lakers are doing really well.

I like that he does [emoji51]

The good thing about being a Knicks fan is the we don't really have this problem.

Reminds me our solitary long lost Spurs/Ginobli fan...

i spent way too long searching for bernie in that picture.

Another tough season for the resident haters:

The Lakers’ New Beginnings Are Even Better Than Their Championship Finish


Once again, the silence here is deafening; you'd think we were in the off-season still.

"The defending champions and favorites to repeat, who have a continuity around their core and have keenly added to their depth? Guess what: they have started their season well" is not particularly interesting.

Also, why does the Laker fan question why the Celtics fan, the Knicks/Wizards fan/employee/mascot, the Raptors fan, the Heat fan, the 76ers fan and others aren't posting about the Lakers more?

Why isn't the Laker fan talking about how dominant Joel Embiid has been this season?
Why isn't the Laker fan posting about how the Nets look with their new big (and kind of fat) 3?
Why isn't the Laker fan bringing the news of the passing of Celtics legends Heinsohn, Jones and Celtics/Suns legend Westphal to the thread?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I remember when Lebron James was on my team and I was the interference NBA pariah. Those were challenging times.

the Celtics fan, the Knicks/Wizards fan/employee/mascot, the Raptors fan, the Heat fan, the 76ers fan

Dude, I’m right here.

 

[Hewson]

Dude, I’m right here.

Sorry man.
Also why should the Knicks fan/Nets neighbor be posting about the Lakers.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Lakers hot take: if we have everyone in the world whatever it is that LeBron is taking we would no longer have the rona.

I'd like to now make a comment about the Lakers game on the TV machine.

Man Embiid is in the best shape I've ever seen him in.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I have another comment about the Lakers.


The Lakers wearing royal blue is really weird.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Do you know the score of the Miami Heat, mascot

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

You're losing.


And I'm a fake crowd noise engineer, thank you very much.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Make some nooooise!!!

Lllllaaaast minute of play in the fourth quarter!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Actually I just hit a button

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Stop ruining the mirage

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's a lot of buttons?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

And they make a lot of hip cool sounds

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's literally just the crow noise from 2K with the bounces and squeaks taken out.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

And you’re the announcer

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nah

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Pls

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Sry

Hey guys the Jazz have won ten in a row!

 

[Hewson]

Hey guys the Jazz have won ten in a row!

You really need to post more about the Lakers.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The Jazz currently have a better record than the Lakers.

See? It's easy.

 

[Hewson]

The Jazz currently have a better record than the Lakers.

See? It's easy.

And the Jazz don't have a superstar who gives opponentsa 2 handed shove when they are airborne like the Lakers.

Easy peasy.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

How come nobody talks about the Clippers when they're winning?
