ab4sure, Laker fans are not mindless. Well maybe the first few rows of silicone and botox at Staples, but other than that we are smarter than people give us credit for. Fans all around other parts of the country who despise the Lakers and their fans are jealous. They’re jealous of the scenery and the success of the team. The Lakers are the Yankees of the NBA. There’s no middle ground. Love them or hate them. So if you hate that’s fine, but don’t disrespect by calling Laker fans “mindless.” There is nothing wrong with title talk. I mean what’s the difference compared to Boston fans who cream over the Red Sox every year? None. They are passionate for their team, so are we. Get over it.

Read my post more carefully…talking about a possible title is ok but “Guaranteeing a title” is mindless… or maybe not using your mind.. LOL

I agree with ab4…if i were at a laker game sitting next to someone who keeps yelling “We’re the 2008 Champions!” in late February, i’d tell him to shut the F up and sit down.

Lets watch these games and praise them for the things they have done not the things they HAVEN’T been done.

We got this. We have been unstoppable since getting Gasol. Yes all Laker fans were scared during most of the last game against Portland but i believe in Phil Jackson’s coaching ability and trust that he will iron out the creases. Lakers win and the fans get tacos, need i say more??

At least we are arguing about getting a title. It’s a nice problem to have.

First off all, if you believe in jinxes, you’re an idiot. Jinxes are for miserable fans like people from Boston and Cleveland. There is nothing wrong with title talk. All us fans of the purple & gold are excited. When you are this good in February, it’s hard not to think about June. This team will not get lazy and look ahead. That’s what Phil and Kobe are there for. They will focus on each game, then just absolutely kick ass in the playoffs. Easy win tonight. The Heat just can’t match up. Pau is gonna dominate!

Title talk is cool but when you have mindless fans GUARANTEEING A TITLE.. that is just plain stupid. So for that they get ripped. The prize is the title but lets not spoil it by putting out guarantees…..

I think Turiaf and Farmar will be the factor this game.

Adding to above said… Please stop saying the lakers are a lock to win the NBA championship in every post. One, you’re jinxing it. Two, as if we need a two, this is the tightest the west has been maybe ever, dont be so c0cky. Like Kobe says, “We’re taking it one game at a time.”
