The Official 2009-2010 Lakers Thread

[JesRey]

Wow, Nathan. Really? You honestly don't think the Cavs are the best defensive team in the league year in and year out?

07-08: 1st total defense, 1st in opponents FG%, 2nd in opponents PPG
08-09: 1st total defense, 1st in opponents FG%, 1st in opponents PPG
09-10: 1st total defense, 1st in opponents FG%, 3rd in opponents PPG (so far)

But yea...they're just 'decent' on defense.

The Rockets are the best, they held the Lakers to 88 points

I keep talking about injuries because ur not impressed. When out Big man goes down, obviously we're not going to score as many points as we are suppose to. We lose a 20pt guy. But we still pull out the victories because of the defense.

What is there to argue about? You come in and try to downplay the Lakers when they just do what is expected. Win Win Win

Lakers are the best in the NBA as of right now. Nothing to debate, except who the 2nd best team is.

You keep talking about injuries because that's what you want to talk about. You don't want to address the fact that the Lakers, like every team, have flaws. You only want to look at the win and don't want to hear a negative word spoken about the Lakers, yet you like to talk negatively every chance you get about alot of other teams in the league. You said that the Lakers played extremely well - sanjosefuji said they didn't, and you basically agreed...I say they didn't, and give my reasons, and it's all wrong, and you throw up all these walls, and I continue to go back to what I initially said - the same thing you have yet to address - that they scored a relatively low 88 points against a relatively weak Rockets team (compared to the Lakers). The only thing you have said is that the Lakers lost a 20-point guy. Yes, they did - but, if the Lakers are as great as you talk them up to be, then they should be able to make those points up, no problem.

What is there to argue about?

I guess there's nothing to argue about, considering you don't want to even remotely consider a word I say.

If there is something that I can be critical about, with any team, I will be...but I also give credit where credit is due - Kobe's buzzer beaters, Lakers 131 points - just two examples of where I've commended the Lakers.

If you go by record, then that would be the Cavaliers.

I must of missed it.

Maybe, but you replied to it...

I was not aware of that...I thought the Celtics were the defensive team of the year (or whatever the not real award is) in 07-08.

how could they be, stats clearly show Cavs have been the best the last 3 years, this is about the only thing Mike Brown knows how to do well, ask Jeremy, he'd know lol

[JesRey]

Your right nathan, i dont listen to anything you write.....

Lakers are the best, until eliminated from the playoffs they wont be. I'm a loyal fan, that's why i dont want to hear anything negative. Just like 100% of loyal fans. But your not a loyal fan so you wouldn't understand.

Not sure...maybe I'm misremembering with something else...but I was pretty sure the Celtics were the defensive team of the year the same year that KG was the DPoY (07-08)

Just like 100% of loyal fans? Not true, unless you are saying Jeremy and Trevor are not true Cavs fans because they criticize their team. A loyal fan praises their team, but also accepts that they have flaws. And you can certainly quit with the personal attacks. There's no need for that, and is not welcomed by me or anyone else.
