Biggest Rivals!

on top of that it was just so horrendous to hear maverick fans talk about how they were better than sacramento in the webber era. the lakers and kings had a real thing going. but with webber the mavericks couldnt even last past 5 games
Who are these people? I've never met one. Any Mavs fan that thinks they got the better of the Kings during the Webber era is living in bizarro world. Why do these people bother you? Just laugh at them and hold your head high.
 
Does everyone hate the Mavs for a particular reason? I just don't see it. I'm not saying I like them, but it isn't a "hate" by any means....
 
I only have enough room in my heart to hate one team.................











the Lakers
 
I hate EVERY team in the Western Conference ... I just hate some more then others.

Starting with;

#1 Lakers
#2 Mavs
#3 Jazz
#4 Minnesota
#5 Warriors
#6 Sonics
#7 Suns
#7 Blazers
#8 Spurs
#9 Clippers
#9 Rockets
#10 Nuggets
#11 Grizzlies

I personally hate the Mavs because they are a squad who has never achieved anything significant in the post season but are an arrogant franchise. Not to mention I completely hate Cuban and Dirk. The case isn't made any better by Johnson or Damp. unclassy organization, obnoxious fans and arrogance that makes me sick to my stomach. then there is the whole Najera era where they played especially dirty. I dont know, the past few seasons my hate for them has continued to grow. again, behind the notorious Lakers there is no team in the league I hate as much as _allas.

Couldn't some of these same arguments be made against our team by someone who wasn't a Kings fan? I always thought looking at Dallas was like looking in the mirror in a lot of ways, but they were about 2 seasons behind us.

Personally i hate dallas because we played them in the postseason a couple of years, thusly i just got used to rooting against them. I hate dirks fist pump, and i hate cubans smug little dwarven smile. I also dont like dampier, and when van exel was on that team, i especially hated them. There is more on that, but ill get to my point. The main reason is, i connotate that franchise with webber going down. Webber went down against dallas, and in a way signified that our franchise had peaked.

And someone finally mentions the elephant in the middle of the room...
 
I HATE THE LAKERS. I intensely dislike Cuban and Dirk. They epitomize arrogant Texans. Ergo...I hate the Mavs. Oh, and...I HATE THE LAKERS!!! Oh, and in case I forgot to mention it...

I HATE THE LAKERS!!
 
Dirk's pretty much a nice guy. As was Nash before him. Always sincerely disliked Cuban, but other than his childish blight, never got hating the Mavs. Think that one really comes down to a simple, very primitive thought: they beat us. Ergo we no like. Ditto Minnesota.

I have a pretty short list:

Lakers.


And even that entry isn't as strong as it once was. Its pretty much just Phil & Kobe. And their fans of course. Having Shaq and Fox gone helps. Dislike the franchise itself now far more than harmless guys scared of their own shadow like Odom or Kwame.

This may all be true, but the Kings could have easily won game 7 if they had only made their freethrows. Also, if Stojakovic and Christie didnt airball 3 pointers in the final minutes. The Kings had their chance.

aznlakers isnt it funny though that the same guy was burning your Lakers last night by draining all those 3's? Gotta give it to the man. Horry is clutch.

That Horry shot only tied the series. The Kings had plenty of chance including home court advantage. Your team couldn't get over that dagger that would've made your team 1 game closer to the finals & possibly winning it all. It's the Kings that coudn't get over the shot. But I understand your hatred towards the Lakers & Mavs. It's the closest you've ever came to reaching the finals.

Just look at the Lakers vs. Spurs in the 03-04 serie. The Lakers were down 0-2 but had the heart to come back & back door swept them. It shows the Lakers can come through when it counts The dagger from Fisher to SA just took them out of their missery. Game 6 win was just icing on the cake.

And I can't hate Horry. He's done it to us before in the Spurs uniform as he's done it to many other teams in his career. I wish him the best. He's done more than enough of his share for the Lakers franchise.

I don't really hate any team.

Not even the Lakers (I know, I know. Blasphemy). I can't stand 90% of their bandwagon fans, which is why I was never a Laker fan despite growing up in LA and liking the team during it's glory days. But to hate the whole franchise for ever and always? Nah. Not me.
 
I hate the Lakers and the Mavs!! Mark Cuban is so annoying. I look away every time he is on the screen. :)

Do not like the Warriors/Mavs/Lakers/Jazz. The Sonics dislike wore off sometime in late 2005, still don't like them, but not as much as the formers. Used to not like Minnesota, but have actually grown to liking them to a degree (Banks/KG/McCants/Griffin/Hassell/Dupree (though he rarely plays) ).

I like 2 or 3 players on each, but that's different.

^ Like - used six times. :p

Thank you thank you. My thoughts exactly. I'm an NBA fan and to be one you have to appreciate what the Lakers have done for the game. The only reason I hate the Lakers is for their fans (and Bill Walton). But with respect to their true intelligent fans, I only hate the ones who use the Lakers to be trendy.

Folsom, what happened to the Warriors, no longer on your favorite list ;)?
Eventhough their entire franchise is gone, still hate the Lakers. I like the Mavericks but Cuban.
 
I know - it's tuff up being a Bay Area transplant in Folsom

Hey, I can make a rap song outta that !!!! :cool:

Kings come first ...

I still follow the Warriors and would like to see them do well ....

I wait for the day when the Kings and Warriors are both in the playoffs.

Maybe next year :D
 
Lakers, then Mavs for me.

Mark Cuban and Dirk's stupid fist-pump after every made shot is enough for me to hate them.

We don't like Bill Walton either...and there's a reason we call his son "Puke" Walton. ;)
I hate the bandwagon fans too.
