They have to be. I mean, if you take one glance at the Lakers board on this site, you will see a board full of homers. They act as if their team has been touched by God, and any negative opinion about anyone associated with the Lakers is blasphemy.

I can't wait until Shaq retires, so that their franchise fades back into mediocrity....

Shaqs big toe

Hehe, I am hoping for a Shaq retirment in the next few years. I think he's got maybe two left at his current level and then he'll start to decline rapidly due to weight and stress on the joints that carrying that weight gives.

In the meantime, lets hope the Kings can go one better next year than this.

Cheers
Brett

Man, I wouldn't hate the Lakers so bad if their fans weren't so cocky...

Jemel said they could get the 13th pick in the draft for Horry!!! Oh yea, the Bucks would jump all over that?

Laker fans take right after their players.
These wonderful comments come from Mr.Fox, taken from sacbee.com

It's great when people get close and get praised for it," Fox said of the Kings. "They still didn't win. Like I said, all they did was make it very evident that they had made strides ... So do they catch us next year? No. But will it be great basketball and exciting talk if we do see them again? Yeah. People will pick them to win the championship next year. I'm sure they will. I don't understand it. They haven't done anything yet.

"The talk is going on right now in the locker room, in looking forward to finishing our job here and having our chance to defend again next year. There's really been talk surrounding the comments that have come out of Sacramento -- the comments we hear about our coach, the comments about this is just a Shaq-and-Kobe team, or, more than not, this is just a Shaq team and you put him on any team and they win a championship.

"We understand the jealousy and the envy that can come with the success of being a really good team, but now it's (ticked) us off, to tell you the truth. It's laid a challenge down to be even greater."

"The fact that we're still talking about them is interesting," Fox said. "I've never, in the three years to run to a championship, discussed a team that you've beat a round before to get here. Usually, the talk is about Indiana or Philly or the Nets. I think there's sour grapes, and the way they've continued to throw their name in the hat by complaining is slightly disappointing because I thought we developed an even greater rivalry through that series that in the future could be rehashed again out on the floor as opposed to in the media.

"But it's like Phil (Jackson) said. It's difficult to be a good loser. I don't know if I could have been a good loser, so I don't want to point the finger and say I wouldn't have been doing the same thing. But it's only lighting more of a fire under Shaq and Kobe and the rest of us to go back and treat the summer as an opportunity to get better and come back and have even a better year than we had this year."

Fox is nothing. What does he do, shoot wide open 3 pointers. He has rings because he happened to be on a team with shaq and kobe. He hasnt dont jack.

I'd love someone to read this back to him next year... just after the Kings wipe the floor with the Lakers.

Well, maybe not wipe the floor, but they have a better chance at knocking them off than anyone else

Kobe Steak

Delusional....? How about the whining losers who still believe they beat the Lakers? What do you call that?

The Kings just blew their best chance to beat the Lakers. Shaq was hurt, Kobe got poisoned and no-show from our role players until Game 7.

Simply put the Kings faced the worst Lakers in three years but Webber & Co. still managed to choke their victory away.

Next year Lakers will finish the Kings in 5, maybe 6 if you got refs' help like Game 2 and 5.

Yeah Lakers fans are arrogant, but it's better than being ignorant.

DP

Success breeds arrogance.

Sometimes their confidence also comes across as arrogance. Lakers will be mediocre someday but as a Lakerfan I am enjoying this ride.

Chops

Will Lakers fans ever be competent enough to understand basic facts...?

This is an interesting thread but guys.. Let's not get overboard. It's okay to vent some frustrations for the losing team fans. But it's also okay to be cocky if you are the winners. But the bottom line is the winners didn't to be cocky at least on other forums as I have seen for now, so please keep this respectful, thanks.

Shaqs big toe

Oh Penny, not only a skilled, if fot-injured NBA veteran, but a mediator as well. What's next? The United Nations???

DP

Man I have seen some legendary Kobe-haters at various boards but you take the cake when PH has to tell you to keep it respectful. That says something. You have to know PH like I do.

Chops

LMAO!


Yeah, no one said the Lakers fans had to like what is being said. That is part of being a fan....


DP, no one here hates Kobe. I for one, have much respect for him, but I don't have to like him....

John

Kings mod, I am not questioning your ability to mod a form and I respect your loyality to your team, and passion for the game. But in order to get respect for your forum and yourself, you have to be a good example to show that King fans have class just like your team has.

Sure imo it's okay to start a thread like this if you are just a member. But as a mod to start a thread like this will generate (even more) heat conversations

Chops

I have no problem with heated conversations. In the end, it will only make the board better and more active.

My real team is the Bulls, so when I post here, I feel more like just a fan and not like I'm representing all Kings fans.

Penny, thanks for your concern.... Good Bye
