"Ah Revenge Is Always So Sweet"

So the Lakers knocked the Spurs out of the Western conference semi finals last night. Ah how sweet it feels to knock out the scum that stopped our quatro attempt last year and in a great fashion to do it in as well coming from 2-0 down to win the series 4-2.

Special mention must go to Derek Fisher who's game winning shot in game 5 with just 0.4 seconds left on the clock surely won the series for us. Had flashbacks of Horry in game 6 against the Sacramento Queens a couple years back :-D

Probably have the T-Wolves in the final though i would prefer the Queens after we've demolished them this season and also just for the sheer smugness it would bring. But with the 4 headed monster of big diesel, Kobe, the mailman and the glove they can bring anyone on and we'll beat them.

Let the dynasty begin.........again.

Oh well we got the T-Wolves. Not too sure how to take that seeing as, on paper at least, they are weaker than the Kings but i'd have really liked to have whooped the Queens on route to the start of our dynasty again.

Beat the T-Wolves in game 1 97-88, which means we take the home court advantage, which could mean the Lakers just sweep the series but if Garnett gets in gear then we may get in trouble. However if Shaq plays like he did in game 1 then there's nothing to worry about, Big Diesel proving with the double double that he is indeed still the most dominant player in the game

Which is why i'd rather face the queens as i've said. Garnett has been the best player this year and i'd rather we avoided him. Of course Garnett is only one player while we have the four headed monster and also Fisher who seems to be stepping up when it comes to crunch time. And the Queens - Lakers rivalry is kind of like the Arsenal - United rivalry only there's far more hate :-D


> also, i think home court means more to lakers than most other teams.

Yup Staples is an absolute cauldron of atmosphere and can either be the Lakers best ally or their worst hinderance. There's no inbetween, we're either cheering them on or letting them know exactly how much they suck

Just don't expect the quality to be anywhere near on the same level :-D

i think you're going a little ott on the kings at the moment. besides, i reckon the lakers would be in trouble if they faced an in form garnett. he's been a machine this year.

also, i think home court means more to lakers than most other teams.

as for being at a bball game, go and watch the london towers or nottigham somebodies, etc. they aren't "quite" as big, but they'll give you a good idea.

I didn't say that did happen, I said it seems like that. I haven't been to a game so how would I know?

Ah who cares...

lakersrule, do you live in the States?

You can't get a proper informed opinion on basketball crowds just from watching the tv, otherwise if i just tuned in to watch a Lakers game then i would summarise Jack Nicholson is at every basketball game around and the fans in the first 10 rows are filled with dead people or at least people who don't seem to budge an inch.


I've been to a good 70 odd games and i'm telling you it's not like that, now back to making fun of the Queens when they lose to either the T-wolves or get humiliated by the Lakers :-D

Well.... Sometimes, not every day, I come in from school, and sit down upon my sofa. Facing my sofa is a small black box that some people in my area call a television.

Anywho for the only time in my life i'll be cheering the Sacramento Queens on when they take on the T-Wolves in game 7 of their series. Just for the fact i'd rather not face the Garnett led T-Wolves and plus we get home court advantage if the Queens win, which we wouldn't get with the T-Wolves.

Allow me to further bold your post. Not been to a game yet you seem to know how people act at one. Strange that but ah well :-P
