If you don't think the Lakers Win the West, You are Delusional

Is it safe to say that if Lakers don't even make the playoffs, this thread can go down as the biggest fail in online forum history?

wouldnt even be a close 2nd place. anyone can screw up a game badly, but its pretty hard to misfire on a whole 82 game season.

probably would have to say manchester united was going to win the premier league and them be relegated to match this one.

it is beyond 'safe'... it is basically a lock..and this is the only time i will ever employ the use of that word. but there is NO CHANCEthat they turn this around.. as it is they need to win 33-of-48 (approx.) to get in...........how is that going to happen?

[BigDofBA]

At least the Lakers showed some heart and competed tonight. That wasn't a horrible loss.

With that said, they've dug themselves a hell of whole to get out of and the season is almost half way over.

Denver is in the 8 spot and they have a lot of home games coming up.

As I've always said, Bryant makes the moves in LA. He demanded a PG, and he wanted Bynum out. When they thought about trading Gasol, Bryant refused.

This guy is a genius. IF he wins number 6, there is no question he is the 2nd greatest player ever to play the game.

Any of you that think this team is not going to mesh, comment here so I can shatter your arguments. Many on this site said the same things about MIA when they joined. I think we know who won those debates...

whats the over under of posts by the end of this thread. 2000+?

I'll go with the over. When they don't make the playoffs that will generate 10 pages by itself. Then the aftermath throughout the Laker-less playoffs

lakers have a joke schedule after the all star break. they will be .700 after the break and get into the playoff. Don't expect teams like the Blazers and the Rockets to stay at .550. There's no chance of that happening. It's a long season. Watch and learn.

So the Lakers are going to go from winning 42% of their games to winning 70%?

That would be impressive and a miracle.

So this thread went from the Lakers being a lock to win the West to they have to win 70% of their games the rest of the way to even make the playoffs?

Do you still think they'll win the West?

[brainfreeze0]

I wonder if he actually believes his own bullshit or just likes trolling his own thread

exactly

but you gotta cut him some slack if Lakers do make the playoffs. It looks very unlikely but its not IMPOSSIBLE for them to make it as of now. So if they make the playoffs, thats good enuf for this thread imo...let's not even get into the fact that their 1st round opponent will be either LAC or OKC

[thetrinity]

Small baby steps at a time.

This teams probably going to b 15-21 after friday, probably 30-16 to make the playoffs rest of the way.

[brainfreeze0]

He's talking about they have a joke schedule after all star break. Lakers have a joke schedule the entire season with ez road games and home games with breaks for tougher opponents. They have the refs in their pockets and they can't even break .500. Goat and his thread are a fail. I might cut him some slack if they made it to the playoffs, which they won't, but he's such a douche in other threads penetrate that. He calls the favorite to win like he's the mad capper and fails miserably. Still hasn't answered BigDofBA's question if he still thinks Lakers win WCF. Probably doesn't want to look like more of a tool then he already does.

Are we delusional if we gave up on them winning the west?

[thetrinity]

Early in this thread when the Lakers were 1-4 I stated they had serious problems. Then the response I got was pretty much that I'm stupid and haven't watched the game as long as him.

I asked how long he had been watching the NBA and if he still thought the Lakers would win the West back in late November. I've asked that about three times and gotten no answer.

I'm not really surprised, it's whatever. It's going to be very tough for LA to make the playoffs but this tread wasn't even about that. It was about calling people names that thought they wouldn't win the West. Lol. Whatever.

Goat probably brags about picking Team USA in the Olympics.

I'll never forget the day I was in SBR chat.

This new guy came barging into the room, announcing to everyone that he was the greatest NBA handicapper the world has ever seen, and to take what he says as the gospel.

Obviously I was a little skeptical at first, but he swore to me over and over that he was a legend, the greatest SBR had to offer, by a country mile. He told me to prove his dominance he was going to give me a play that wouldn't lose, and suggested I get down as much money as I could on it. My skepticism was growing by the minute. Who was this guy? Why was he talking with such bravado? Was he crazy? Another internet looney?

I said, sure, buddy, give me your play. He said to put everything I could afford on the Lakers making it to the finals. The line was +145, and it was going to be like stealing. The easiest wager in the history of sports, he told me.

I'm beginning to worry.

Don't let me down, Goatmilk. We still got this, right? Right?

[You mad bro]

lmao im surprised goat milk even shows his face in this thread . he got fckn burried .. he is actually quite pathetic

Probably his latent agenda was to jinx the 'Fakers' and he very likely picked ''the field'' against 'Fakers' as his future.

IF not, than he truly is dumb.

You guaranteed they would win 74 games and you lost 4k guaranteeing they would beat dallas

You get views because your an auto fade, period. You've never won money in any sport, any year, this is all documented. You've lost more money than anyone on the forum since you joined kid. Go watch some more film

I think i covered all the other guarantees you've made in my post above, all which lost of course. Is there any reason you actually bet on games? Your the worst basketball capper the site has seen (not one winning year, 2-27 streak, etc.) and the worst football capper the site has ever seen (You lost your entire bankroll betting football last year after guaranteeing the pats and saints would win, etc, etc.) You've lost every football play you've made this year as well. Why dont you find something your good at? Do you like losing money at this rate? Its unreal. You've lost 25k, maybe more since you stopped posting units, in your 2 years here. How is that even possible?

Fuking 15K posts on this account in 2 years, down 25K+, and you have 5 other confirmed troll accounts which you've admitted I can only imagine how miserable your real life is

Bump.

See you ignored this in your other thread and in here. When will you admit your the worst capper the site has ever seen? Why do you even bet?

What is going on in your head that you've been able to convince yourself your an expert while losing so much money since you joined?

All you do is bet the heaviest favorite in every sport, every year. Then in the rare case they win, you act like your the only one who picked them. When they lose, you ignore the threads and act like you never bet on them at all. Even betting only the heaviest favorite you've STILL lost 25K+.

[CanuckG]

Hes like Lakerboy they are here to troll. We give them the views so they are happy and dont jump off a bridge

[BigDofBA]

You guys should bet the Lakers tomorrow....

[zsr]

Yep. He brags about thread views even when he loses, so he's probably just some depressed kid who's real life is so miserable he comes on an anonymous forum to get attention.

[brainfreeze0]

So people like views on a hread that makes them look like a complete moron. classic shit there

[wantitall4moi]

hatred? where and how? I tell it like it is. I told people lakers would stink last year and they did. They had an inflated win record because they stayed healthy and played alot of teams that had injured players. once they made the playoffs (the REAL season) they got their asses smoked. Barely made it out of the first round and for all intents and purposes got swept in the second.

Guys on that team also played over their heads most of the season, despite what people want to try and remember. Gasol played well until the play offs, Bynum was pretty dominant when they used him correctly, and ron artest actually played well which was a mjor shock. Lakers played a near perfect game last year and still werent close to good enough.

Now they add a 40 year old guy, who is still good sure, and a damaged goods guy who might be a step backwards in some respects to the guy they essentially traded for him and people think theyre light years better? THOSE people are the clueless ones.

Bynum was 26 years old and showed he could dominate a game if used properly. Howard is a misfit crybaby who stood around in the paint and grabbed misses and if he got a chance might dunk the ball his offensive skill set is almost zero. That is something Lakers will have to address unless they are happy with him standing around and getting rebounds and an occasional dunk.

Howard might be one of the most overated guys in the NBA, and that was when he was healthy. Guys like him who find excuses and whine and piss and moan about everything arent the type of guys who should be coveted. If he was really al that why didnt he get moved earlier? Because of some make believe 'he wont play for anyone long term' bullshit? Well Orlando basically gave the guy away. Which I suppose is what they were going to see happen anyway. But lakers were the only team DUMB enough to take him and HOPE to hell he signs a deal with them. Hubris is a terrible thing.

There are simply way too many negatives in this deal, and really only one or maybe 2 possible positives.

I love it because in the end the odds of something bad happening are much more likely than something good.

The perfect storm would be the Clippers winning the Pacific, Lakers being a 5 or 6 seed and then being eliminated by the Clippers in the play offs. But that probably wont happen. I figure if Howard is healthy OKC will be the team to eliminate them, although Clippers and Denver will have some major talent and depth not sure their coaching is good enough to do it.

But Mike brown isnt that good and he has already shown he cant handle guys with big egos and we have also seen what happened in Orlando to a coach that couldnt handle dwight howard. Exactly like the lebron james situations, they axed the coach hoping the star player would stay, but that wasnt good enough. so orlando learned a lesson, rather than watching another press conference by a self absorbed asshole they just traded him to anyone that would take him.

Like i said there are a lot of ways this could end badly, I am sure we will see them play out as the year goes on.

first one has already started, howard is going to miss the start of the season due to his back. So how many games is that? If he sits stil Christams and misses 12-15 games then what? It will take him another 10-20 to get into shape so theres half the season gone on a guy you dont have a contract with, and what if he decides to take it easy so not to hurt himself before he can sign with a team he really wanted to play for? That is just one possible scenario that stems from an already known aspect of this move. Lakers only had 4 games without bynum last year so transpose that to this year and howard how many games without him to start? How good are they without him (or bynum)? If he misses 20 games and they start 10-10 or worse then what?

Like i said will be interesting.

Fans or deluded people only want to see the best of any situation,they are never willing to look at all the possibilities. I just know that eventually the lakers will be a great fade, not sure how not having him works but it will surely make for some interesting futures.

Pretty good, although Howard didnt miss the start of the season but nash did, and now ohward will more than likely not play until after All Star break, if at all. If he has his way that is.

[You mad bro]

howard is leaving to go to charlotte to play w kemba and there first round pick this year ... gonna win it all bro watch bobcats year next year baby
