Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Have you seen the quote about Amare' on Silver Screen and Roll?

"Remember Amare Stoudemire, the guy Pau Gasol humiliated in the Western Conference Finals to the point he started crying like a little baby right there on the court* and fled the conference in shame? Back in 2004, he told the Phoenix Suns not to sign Kobe Bryant. In possibly related news, the Phoenix Suns still haven't won an NBA championship."

i know they must have a pretty warped view of reality to be Laker fans in the first place, but they must have really been on something to write this!

You can’t take Laker fans seriously. They’re like spoiled rich kids or more so like that girl on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You sort of just laugh and look at them in disgust. You get what mean?

A great percentage of Lakers "fans" are bandwagoners.

It’s pathetic. They hop on the bandwagon after the Pau Gasol trade and start spewing crap from their mouths about them being untouchable. It’s so incredibly easy for them to say they’re fans of the Lakers and brag about their success. Seriously Laker “fans” are the worst.

Steve Nash is my mancrush. But Goran Dragic is the 2nd coming of Manu Ginobili, which makes him just as tasty.

a select few that you have had experiences with,

do not represent the majority.

from what i have read on SS&R, most of the people on the site have been fans since they were little. Im sure there are bandwagoners, as every team in every sport that wins championships is bound to have. Just look at the Saints this year. Ive seen so many saints fans come out of nowhere, its ridiculous. Celtics fans came out of nowhere after 20 years of hiding in the closet. Heat fans are now showing up on SS&R, so they pop up with winning teams, thats human nature.

I wasnt even goign to comment on your post, but the “great percentage” part of your post kept poking at me. Its so easy for fans of other teams to hate us, but come on, really…. probably more like a small percentage, atleast over at SS&R. Im sure there were less Laker fans to annoy you when you guys were beating us in the playoffs a couple years ago, but I know most of us regulars at SS&R were fans back then as well……..

In defense of SSR

I’ve spent plenty of time over there and like any site your gonna have homers who don’t know what they’re talking about, homers who do know whet they’re talking about and all points in between. admittedly there does seem to be a higher percentage of bandwagoners over there, but that happens with success. I see stuff like this and see an oppertunity for healthy debate…ya just gotta remember if your on thier site your a guest and you’ll need a measuerd tone and thick skin.

unsuprisingly, it seems to elude them...

that until Gasol was gifted to them by Laker BBF Jerry West, the Lakers hadn’t done jack, and their hero Kobe was packing his bags.

 The fact that they’ve gotten 2 ‘chips since that time is more a testament to Jerry Buss’s sweaty backroom dealings than the individual accomplishments of their magical leader Kobe.

Therefore, yes, you are correct, from the time period of 2004-Pau, the Lakers hadn’t done jack.

He did in 07 though. In fact, he said the Suns were one of his choices.

I think Nash and Kobe would make the deadliest backcourt.

If Kobe were to play with a traditional PG, his scoring would be off the charts. Although Marion, Bell, and Amar’e for Kobe = greater harm than good.

I think theoretically, Kobe and Nash would be a bad pairing.

Ball-dominating players like Kobe need to be paired with spotup shooters, not playmakers. This is why he’s been playing next to Fisher for years, and why the Roy/Miller backcourt in Portland has created issues.

I agree with that. I wish Kobe just went to Chicago. I’m tired of the best team in the NBA always being in the same conference as us. It means no finals appearance and it makes Nash look bad. Stockton didn’t have the face the best team in the NBA until the Finals because they were in the opposite conference.

Well I still hate Memphis for doing that to us.

That season was quite possibly our year. 2007-2008 was supposed to be a WCF between the Spurs and Suns (projected anyway) and the whole Gasol trade went down. That screwed us and the NBA. I don’t mean to be immature about it but I’m still sore about it.

Steve Nash is my mancrush. But Goran Dragic is the 2nd coming of Manu Ginobili, which makes him just as tasty.

The way the Spurs were by the end of the year we would have had a chance too. Their offense was just terrible by the end of the season. I think we could have beaten them in 6 games, but I doubt we could have beaten New Orleans if we had played them. They swept us that year int he season series. Who knows? We may have made the Finals, but Boston would have crushed us.

2Nashty is probably right about those words probably being by homers; and good job for giving them the satisfaction of seeing annoyed Suns fans.

Annoyed?? I’m so sickened and disgusted by the “Lackers” that I was not as emotionally engaged during these WCF as I was in previous series versus the Fakers. I think I emotionally disengaged somewhat, for my own good.

heheh. besides, those posts are just in fun, they’re posted in the LOLWUT section. in the same post, it talks about Dancing with the Stars, Audrina Patridge, and links to a completely random youtube video. nothing to take too seriously. :)

I figured as much.

As far as I’m concerned, you guys can say whatever you want about Amare anyways. He gave you more than enough fodder with his bizarre behavior and typically inconsistent play during the WCF. Gee golly am I glad that I don’t have to defend him anymore.

On the other hand, they still have to defend Odom.

Who knows though RMason, I just hope we won’t have to defend Turk.

by Beavis 25 on Sep 7, 2010 12:01 PM MDT up reply actions  

I was mostly referencing his behavior.

In a nutshell, time will tell if we’re a better team with or without Amare, but I am damn sure that I like the team more without him.

I wonder how good our chances really were against the lakers had we played our scrappy style the first two games instead of trying to run and run like the Suns of old?

those first 2 were painful to my soul

Yeah, funny isn't it?

How the Artest putback clouded the memory of how crappy PHX played in the first two games.

I hope we see you guys in the WCF this year, that was fun trading jabs with you guys at SSR (would have been funner if PHX had won…some day). any way congrats on the championship, they look even tougher this year (no more pot shots at your bench)

this was a LOLWUT post. They are usually off topic type posts meant more for humor than for actual analysis and etc over at SSR.

but please don’t accuse us BrightSiders of being onionskins (or something like that) who take sports way too seriously.
