DOOMSDAY:Cookin The Tears Of The Oposition

Was it always like this? Where journalists and analysts were acting like complete jackholes over their favorite teams in front of an audience that is watching for information? I do not remember this when I was a teenager, has it always been like this?

 

I don't think so. I remember back in the day journalists had to be impartial and not show any bias towards a single team. This is probably because they had to cover all of the teams. Fast forward to today, each team has their own team-based set of journalists (armed with social media to boot), and I think this is why they are stuffing their opinions down our throats because it boosts the ratings, not just sticking with reporting the news. Of course you have to say all the good things about your team, because you're being paid to do so, and people are tuning in as a result. I am not surprised if 'Mona got Ballmered last offseason which led to her falling out with Lakers FO. I'd laugh my behind if someone told me that journalists stick to the "truth" LMFAO

 

When someone tells you the 5 in Minneapolis do not count, or the 50's and 60's do not count or whatever stupid rationalization that comes to their useless mind, tell them, they are basically saying that Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, George Mikan, Bob Cousy and a myriad of other amazing players that they do not exist or matter in the rich NBA history.

Boston's 17 titles matter. The 5 titles in Minneapolis matter. The Sacramento Kings title in 1951 when they were the Rochester Royals matter. The title the Sixers won as the Syracuse Nationals matter, the title the Atlanta Hawks won in St. Louis matters. That is why they call them a FRANCHISE.

Now if there is a deal where the team votes to leave the history with the city? Ok, then it's official. I believe when a team gets to Seattle again, the Oklahoma City Thunder will give back the Seattle SuperSonics history and trophy back to the Sonics. I like that. It makes sense.

The Minneapolis Lakers were the first dynasty of the NBA. They drafted Elgin Baylor and George Mikan was the first star of the league. To not have them associated with the LA Lakers is stupid. It's the same franchise.

 

Societies fixation with mindless drama is nauseating.

 

Unfortunately Fox and ESPN want to go down the Barber Shop trash talk route rather than actually provide reasonable basketball discussion. Don't get me wrong... I can fall into the trap of watching those programs at times, but largely, they are biased, annoying and predictable. Even after the Lakers win a chip, people like Skip Bayless still do not change at all, and he's continuing to discredit LeBron as if winning is a bad thing for his legacy... wtf.

 

If they don't want to count the titles in Minny, fine... we just win 5 more titles

 

I imagine it’s to do with fake personas? Like you said though, odd, considering we are the most successful franchise in history.

 

Because LA is full of fake people, fake boobs and fake personalities.

 

I imagine it’s because it rhymes with Lakers.

 

Wok on C Bags and Clips payrolls. All those “the Lakers don’t have enough to offer, and the C Bags offer will be better during the summer” - at the February deadline. Then after the summer trade “the Lakers gave up so much, the Pelicans won this trade.”


And Doc laughing and cheering at the lottery, happy the Lakers didn’t get the top pick. Someone should meme that. Lol

 

Daryl Morey is stepping down as Rockets GM, D'Antoni quit, Doc Rivers fired.
Loving this wake of destruction left behind by the Lakers..

 

The next could be Giannis on the move.

 

easiest word to rhyme and most insulting, not all that creative IMO, the other i see often is "flakers" lol sounds like something a 2nd grader could come up with

 

I'd take a 2nd grader's brain than those of these haters', to be honest...
