NBA play of the year.

The Heat should move to the NBDL.

Dwayadwayneduade sucks. He has also won zero titles without Shaq if you want to play that game.

[Brian in Mesa]

Turiaf robbed of two great blocks !!

[Brian in Mesa]

Farmar for three !!

[Brian in Mesa]

Wade back in. LOL

Farmar length of the court - tossed it at the hoop and got a goaltend call.

[Darth Llama]

I'm such an idiot, I thought this game was on tomorrow.

Oh well, another day, another win. I love it!

Uhm, before that kobe threw it the length of the court behind his head..backwards....to Luke who drops the behind the back to Lamar BEFORE he came down with it.

Sick, sick play....play of the year, no freaking doubt.

That was a fun game to watch. Lakers got a bit sloppy on defense a few times, but they led the entire game and were in control the whole time.

Great to see Luke, Ronny and Farmar have such good games. Good game by The Machine as well.

Add dwyayayayne to the growing Sasha "fan club" that has Mike Bibby, AI, JJ Reddick, Carmella Anthony and many more in it. He pisses people off, gets under their skin and frustrates them into fouls and techs. I LOVE it...and if he were on the other team I'd freaking hate him for it.

Did you notice Sahsa went over by himself to the Heat bench after the final horn? I saw him motion to Wade, maybe for a "no hard feelings" or something. I didnt see it written about anywhere.

All the crappy radio "personalities" here bash Laker fans and talk about how stupid we are and how none of us know anything about basketball. Everyone on the Sports Radio station (KTAR) is a jerk off that knows nothing outside the realm of their own homeristic tendencies toward the all mighty Suns. The funny thing is, the Arizona Cardinals get the exact opposite treatment even though they are a home town team as well.

Most people in Phoenix aren't smart enough to realize that Phoenix is mostly made up of people from other places, hence there will be people here that like other teams. It can be frustrating though, living here and having to hear all the time that you're an idiot because you like the Lakers. I honestly think at this point that Suns fans are dropping below Cowboy and Bears fans on my list of most classless fans in the world. On that note..

Go Lakers!

There are 5 of them that live in the immediate area around me in my apartment complex alone. They are around.

Now your second paragraph I agree with. We are a city of transplants. We won't get our roots without at least a championship and/or 20 more years so people can grow up liking the teams.

Donald's dream lineup below is BY FAR my favorite right now;

PG Farmar
SG Sasha
SF Bean
PF Lamar
C Gasol

I really should just suck it up. I work overnights, and I made the mistake of listening to Doug and Wolf on the radio on my way home, and they just pissed me off. All they talk about is how stupid Laker fans are, then they themselves make comments that show they are better off discussing football, since they know little to nothing about basketball. I just get frustrated because I'm always hearing how there are so many Laker fans in AZ but I never seem to see any of them. When I go to a Laker vs. Suns game, I see a lot of people wearing Laker jerseys, but only if we're having a good year cause they're bandwagon tools.

At least most of the Suns fans I know face to face are good people that show some class. I was just in a foul mood that morning cause I hear it on this forum, then drive home and hear 20 minutes of how I'm a moron cause I like the Lakers.

Doug and Wolf/Gambo and Ash will do that to you. Just going into the Suns forum can have the same effect.

No worries.
