    I'm listening good sir. Or watching, whichever lol.
    I don't know about him, but I'm a big Bulls fan. The only time i don't root for Chicago to win, is when they play the Lakers.

    Jordan vs Bird video game made me a bulls fan.

      I'am not really into teams, i'am into players. I like today's bulls, I like today's lakers, I like today's celtics. This year I've really been into the lakers after they get swept and lost Phil Jackson. I really wanted to see how they'd react. How 33 years old Kobe would react.

      Last year when lakers got sweep and Bulls lost the series to the Heat, I was a 100% into Dallas mavericks. I just like NBA basketball.

      One thing for sure if I had the freedom of chosing an avatar amongst like the Million billion pictures of the internet it woudn't be a basketball team avatar.

      There you go.

      And personnaly I don't agree on people saying it is a bad win for the lakers. When they where down 3, in the penalty with 7 mins to go I really didn't think they would make it. You know if they loose this game they get sweep by OKC. All theses 5 guys on the court have been through that last year. They didn't give up. I thought Kobe was great. It's a great win for thoses lakers.

        As much as I criticize him, I love that he dgaf

        “I don’t give a [expletive] what you say,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports late Friday. “If I go out there and miss game winners, and people say, 'Kobe choked, or Kobe is seven for whatever in pressure situations.' Well, [expletive] you.

        “Because I don’t play for your [expletive] approval. I play for my own love and enjoyment of the game. And to win. That’s what I play for. Most of the time, when guys feel the pressure, they’re worried about what people might say about them. I don’t have that fear, and it enables me to forget bad plays and to take shots and play my game."

          18 Free throws for Bryant... that always grabs your attention, especially since he mostly shoots jumpshots...

          lakers have a back to back and I expect them to be gassed ans to lose tonight

            It's entertaining to read through the thread after most Laker wins and see that the same few people whine about officiating.

            "OKC got reffed"
            "Ref X has an agenda"
            "Kobe got 18 ft's"

            Every single post you bitch about the officiating? Lol. Good gracious.

            "Actually what i've observed is most lakers fans disappear when they lose to be honest and it gets quiet in here"

            ..

            Uh, what the heck do you want them to say? And actually that's just false, most of the regulars here post regardless of a win or loss. Not sure what makes you say that.

                Definitely a lot of free throws. Some were questionable, not an overwhelming amount of them. Some were questionable on LAL as well.

                If OKC got reffed, so be it

                  I mean the game was just reffed horribly both ways any way you look at it....

                  Nothing would make me more happy to see LA's demise....but OKC got their share of BS calls....OKCs calls pretty much kept them in the game when LA had their chances to pull away....

                  Harden and Kobe both got way more FTAs than they should've....all of Bynums were pretty legit...

                    It must just be a coincidence that the Lakers are always getting the benefit of these high FTAs in key playoff games, especially when they seem to be unable to compete without the FTs.

                      You mean like in game 2, where LAL should have won on the road had Kobe not gave the game away at the end?

                      OKC was 13-16 and LAL was 13-14 in game 2

                      LA can't compete without free throws...? Alright, bud.

                            Trolling? If that's trolling then I'd say the posts I was referring to was trolling as well.

                            I'm simply saying that I'm entertained everytime I read through the thread after a Laker win. The same old complaints about officiating and the same old complaints about Kobe getting free throws.

                            It's nothing new, but always entertaining.
