NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Nets

Prediction:

NBC\'s ratings for the NBA Finals are going to plunge into the crapper.  Most of the United States does not give a damn about watching the Lakers sweep the Nets.  I wish you Laker fans would come to understand how much you and your team are hated.  It isn\'t all love and happiness to win the Finals when you do it with a team including a-holes like Rick Fox and Robert Horry.  Hey maybe Horry will throw a towel in Phil Jackson\'s face during a timeout.  I\'d watch that.  Otherwise, I plan on getting some sleep.

I admire Jason Kidd, but I don\'t want to watch him get beaten up and pounded by Shaq, then see no calls resulting from it.  O\'Neal apparently gets fouled every time he steps on paint.  A defender is standing rock solid with his arms in the air and somehow that\'s a defensive foul.  Oh well, one of you Laker fans will have to explain that to me sometime.  I\'m sure you have a good explanation.  Meanwhile Bryant will continue to showboat his way to the highlight reels like he\'s always done.  It\'s fun watching him do some unnecessary bullsh*t reverse scoop layup, and then totally blow it.  He\'ll never change though, because there\'s no "Kobe" in the word "TEAM."

To summarize:  

NBC Finals coverage viewers =

State of New Jersey
Los Angeles metro area
Various Laker bandwagoners throughout the U.S.
Populations of selected mental institutions and prisons

THAT\'S IT.

THAT\'S IT.

The Laker fans know the rest of the US hates them. That\'s why they seem so blind at times.

Not blind...just arrogant.

Arrogant? Blind? WTF? What are you talking about? Thats how the sports world is when the team is number one. Everyone is gunning for them, it was the case with the Yankees and the Rams as well, EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE THEM LOSE. And if you didn\'t want to see them lose your percieved as arrogant or shallow? Just frusterates me, don\'t categorize all Lakers fans as arrogant or blind. Maybe a handful like to shoot their mouths off, but thats because they\'re just trying to defend their team that everyone is pointing their fingers at.

And I could careless what the rest of the USA thinks, or is this just jealousy that their teams are laying on their couches watching the playoffs with potato chip crumbs hanging off their lips?

Who knows? Who cares? Seriously though, the Laker bashing is getting so old and they just go on to win another series making alot of you (no names) look stupid.

Why does it make anyone look stupid for the Lakers to win a championship with the assistance of their 6th, 7th, & 8th men in black and white uniforms?  I don\'t think any sane person is doubting what will happen.  Damn if I could play in the NBA under Shaq\'s rules, I\'d probably win a championship too.

Oh give me a break!

Actually, that\'s exactly what it is.  Jealousy in it\'s purest form.  If people could route for no one to win, I\'ll bet a lot of people would.

And fans of most championship teams in any sport seem to be arrogant.  You probably have a right to be too.

(Thinks about Yankees fans)

*shivers*

I can\'t help my team became the best. :cool:

I happen to like the Yankees, so I can relate

But we got the Red Sox...I don\'t think any group out there hates the Lakers that much.

"Who cares about the rest of the US?"

**** YOU. That\'s exactly the arrogance that\'s being perceived. You dont\' care about the rest of the country, you only care that you\'re happy, and that the rest of the country hates you.

Oh, and nothing personal about the **** you part, Vapor. I just want to be cared about by the Lakers fan. Yeah, that\'s it.

Go Nets. See Yuz.

Not really, I mean i am a Lions fan, have been since i can remember.  I want to see the Rams play football, they are very exciting and fun to watch.  So in order for them to win, they must perform good, which is what people watch them for.

WHOA NELLY! Seriously, can we say, "Melodramatic" .... Wow...

What I meant was that I could give a rats f*cking ass hair what America thinks of me, Lakers fans, or the Lakers. I\'m gonna be rooting for them, and thats all I care about. Why would it be of concern to me that you hate them? I don\'t care. Your opinion. I\'m not going to argue, "WHY DO YOU HATE THEM?!?". You hate them cuz\' they\'re the best. Period.

And boy oh boy the Lakers are bringin\' the broom and dustpan to the Finals.

I hate Shaq....I like Kobe....Shaq is on the lakers....I hate Shaq....End of story

yeah, Jamas gets like that at times.  He meant nothing by it.
