Ping-Kodos, Neq, Laker haters in general
Whaddya think? I know sharing the rock will be hard and team Chemistry will be pushed, but I think they can do it. Of course, that's the Laker fan in me

I'm not really a Laker-hater, but in my opinion, I don't think sharing the rock will be much of an issue. It'll be hard for Kobe to call for the ball all the way from cellblock D.

Why are Laker fans so annoying?
And it's N-E-U-Q-U-A

Most of the board knows now that I lean much more toward the Lakers than against them.
That said, I have to agree with Neuqua. This is just pure baiting, Kyle. ![]() The only thing that can become of a thread started like this is a flame war, or at least a bunch of posts about a team that continues to polarize the FOFC community. And besides, didn't you notice the thread when Payton was reported and then confirmed? We already had this discussion (not that that has stopped us before). ![]() With the continuing possibility that Kidd and maybe P.J. Brown (for sure, some big, defensive-minded center) will end up in San Antonio, and the possibility that Zo will join the Mavs, nothing is a cinh anyway--and, yes, including a Lakers team with four Hall of Famers. The East should just give up now if they lose Kid and Zo to the West. They were lucky to keep O'Neal (assuming he doesn't renig on his agreement with the Pacers). Watching LeBron hit reality will be the only fun thing to do in the East this season. As for Kobe, the authorities aren't exactly rushing out to charge him, are they? I have a feeling this is going to end up another "he said-she said", like so many of these do. I wouldn't count on Kobe missing any of the upcoming season. CR

It should be an interesting expirement, if nothing else. I think they'll all be fine if they can keep winning. If they get on a losing streak, every one of those guys is well versed in the art of finger pointing, so they need to keep one spot for a scrub in the starting line-up to take the blame.
Out here in Blazerland that kind of all-over talent would guarantee the immediate re-signing of Shawn Kemp and JR Rider, as well as a long term jail sentence for someone.

it will be interesting. but if they start off this season like last, phil may have to put in some overtime
if sa gets kidd and pj or zo, then the matchups in the west could be epic. we could be seeing the next great league rivalry here, as long as karl malone's legs don't fall off, and shaq doesn't retire |

The Lakers will be tough, but it will be interesting to see if the pieces fit together AND they can stay healthy.

Could it be that I am the number one hater for both the Cowboys and the Lakers at FOFC? And people said I would never amount to anything!
![]() Oh, and good luck with the team chemistry. Phil can coach just about any team that has 2 or 3 of the top 5 current players to a championship fairly consistently... ![]() ![]() |

I swear Phil Jackson could NOT have been this annoying when he was here in Chicago.
Tim Floyd could coach this damn Lakers team to the finals.

As a lifelong fan of the Redskins, I'd probably be right up there with you with regards to hatred of the Cowpies. As for the Lakers, well, my two favorite teams are the Suns and the Kings... so I have no love for them, either. On paper, the Lakers look like they can't be beat... IF everything goes their way, but there are so many ways this team can get de-railed: 1. Bad chemistry 2. Shaq not in shape and healthy. 3. Kobe in jail. 4. Payton and Malone not fitting in the triangle. 5. Payton and/or Malone showing their age. 6. Phil Jackson has a heart attack. 7. Lakers start off slow and come unraveled under media scrutiny. 8. Other Western Conference teams start out strong, especially the pissed off Spurs, who are defending champs and already underdogs - think about it; the Suns are improving, the Kings are tough if Webber is healthy, and the Mavericks are solid. Yao and the Rockets are also getting better, and, who knows, even Portland could be decent. On the other hand, if Kobe and Shaq are on the court and healthy, Jackson keeps the egos in check, and Payton and Malone play with the vigor of two hall-of-famers finally on a real contender, there's simply no other team in basketball that can play with these guys. Magic Johnson could drag his fat ass out of the broadcast booth and onto the court as the fifth man, and they'd still win the title. |

The ultimate sports fan with no soul:
Roots for the Yankees, Cowboys, Miami Hurricanes (or Notre Dame), and Lakers, and has neither lived, nor even visited any of these cities.

I hate the Lakers (specifically Shaq and Rick Fox).
I hate the Cowboys (especially King Jerry) I hate the Yankees I despise and detest Notre Dame (stuck up SOB's) Does that make me the ultimate sports fan with soul ? ![]()

How does it go? What state gained some girls Neq? ? ![]() I think there is a greater risk of Malone and Payton not getting the triangle down then Kobe going to jail in Colorado And yes Chief, it was bait. Hook, line, and sinker! |

I'm still very worried about the Kobe thing. They aren't rushing to charge him because they are waiting for physical evidence to come back from the lab. That can mean one of two things:
1) they have a strong suspician he didn't do it and are simply holding off until they can say to the media and the women's groups "no evidence" or 2) They have a strong suspician he did do it and are waiting for the evidence to come back in so they can point to all of the conspiracy theorists and say "we have physical evidence" Knowing what I know of the sherrifs in Vail and Aspen, my money is on #2. I hope I'm wrong. I hope that Kobe is innocent and charges will not be filed. I have a feeling he's going to be spending time in a courtroom though. As for the Lakers, I still think they didn't address their biggest problem. Defense. Payton and Malone don't give you extra speed on the wings. I think this team will have a lot of problems with teams that push the ball. (which, just happens to be every team in the west save San Antonio) ------------------------------------ I don't hate the Lakers. (I hate the breaks the Lakers have received the past few years and I hate the way the NBA is officiated, thus giving the Lakers a distinct advantage) I don't hate the Yankees. (I hate the economic system of baseball which allows the Yankees to cultivate their stars while raping other teams for their current stars) I hate the Cowboys. Always have. Though I like individuals off of them. (Roger Staubach comes to mind right away) I hate Notre Dame. Always have. TroyF |

I'm not saying I dont disagree with your assessment Troy. I just think the route 2 had better options available. The upgrades of Malone and Payton make changes that the other teams will need to adjust to. No more sagging off of the PF who cant hit a jump shot. No more watching Derek Fisher shoot 30% for 3 weeks and 60% for 1. Quote:

I hate the Yankees...not as much as the Dodgers because I'm a Giants fan.
I HATE the Cowboys...Since I'm a Niner fan...and who doesn't hate the Cowboys? I hate the Lakers...Because of Kobe, the wanna be Jordan. T-Mac would have won 4 rings with Shaq too. I hate ND, even though I'm Irish, yet I am Protestant. I hate them for one single reason, their fans. I don't really care about the UM....Yet I am begining to hate them for producing Mike Rumph...

Actually I like the look of the 1990's NBA Jam Western Conference All-Stars. Only three of them can play at a time though so who sits out?
