CS85 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Clippers fans should enjoy it, as the Laker nation will simply categorize this in "Games Not To Remember Ever," and since it really has no bearing whatsoever on anything, they're not wrong to do so. That being said I do enjoy seeing the Lakers lose. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Lee Noire Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Clippers gonna Clip.Clippers gonna Clip.Kamen wanted no part of that poster. That's a perfect "NOPE" meme waiting to happen. LOLI wonder what makes a guy look worse: getting viciously dunked on, or cowering away from the aforementioned dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 God forbid the Lakers endure a period where they don't win. What will become of things? Spoiled.I hope the exact same thing happens to Alabama...God, the Suns are starting to be annoying, you're a bad team, in a good conference, that probably should be in one of the bottom 3 spots, but you occupy the 6th seed?Also, keep it coming Lob City. This ass-whooping of the Lakers is turning into a joy to watch. 70 first half points? Heck yes.You and the Suns have something in common. Both bad and annoying. But both hanging around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I as a Laker fan say to those conspiracy theorists in the fan base: "Prove it!"To address what happened in the 1985 draft lottery, it's really suspicious how the 4th envelope (eventually containing the Knicks logo) was dropped into the drum. It's also suspicious of how Stern grabbed hold of his 1st envelope (again, eventually showing the Knicks logo). As for the whole "Lakers-CBA" theory, I don't buy that, since Jim Buss has been proven to be a butthead so far in the front office. But two words resonate why Laker fans despise David Stern:"The deal sending Chris Paul to Los Angeles is dead because of basketball reasons."The Lakers franchise hasn't recovered from that paralyzing-nixing of the CP3 deal, not to the slightest bit. For all we know, David Stern might have put a curse on the Lakers franchise, to never again win an NBA championship from here-on-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also suspicious of how Stern grabbed hold of his 1st envelope (again, eventually showing the Knicks logo).(YouTube Video)The Idea that Stern would try to hinder the Lakers, the best TV draw in the league is funny.As for the lottery, I am not ready to say that the first lottery was fixed, (though the thing I notice in the video is the corner of the Knicks envelope looks bent). If they really fixed the lottery by banging the envelope against the inside of the hamster wheel and having Stern grab the one with the bent corner, then he did it very seamlessly and must have nerves of steel.The Knicks only missed the worst record by two games (two teams tied; Indiana and Golden State). If Stern wanted to fix it for New York, wouldn't it just have been easier to ask the Knicks to tank? Does anyone know when the NBA decided to establish the 1985 Lottery? I have seen it suggested that it was done mid-season perhaps to at least give the Knicks a shot at the first pick, but the standings kinda give me the impression, they'd have been in the hunt all year, rendering the lottery risky. Now, I absolutely believe Stern and the NBA would be willing to install the lottery for this reason*, but I don't know that I buy that they did in this situation, given the standings (unless they actually established the lottery at the end of the season, which seems a bit too bold).*I absolutely believe that the first round was expanded to 7 games because the Lakers were the 5 seed in the playoffs that year. They beat the T-Wolves and would have won the series had it been 5 or 7 so it did not matter (and I am not complaining as a T-Wolves fan). In fact, I think 7 games makes more sense in round 1 so as not to give the 8 seeds a better shot, but the reasoning was unsettling.I guess I am extending the tangent...NBA conspiracies and unfairness could be its own thread.

DS729 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Celtics trade their best offensive player for Joel Anthony and picks. The tanking is now for real in Boston, and the Dubs get another shooter.As if they needed 2 more, it's also a good to hear that neither of them plays very good defense, while having awesome bench scorers is cool. When you're only decent perimeter defender is Andre Iguodala, you're not going very far in the playoffs. I doubt they'd get to the conference finals at this point, but for what you're giving up, it still is a great trade for both teams.I'm still ashamed of the Wizards for dealing Jordan Crawford for Jason Collins and a second, I get that he was disgruntled, but he would be pretty useful right now.
