Dallas destroys the Lakers to move on to conference finals:
- Thread starter bajaden
- Start date
If Kobe said "I'm glad Bynum laid that sucker out" yes, he would have gotten a fine. No question. Not even Artest would be dumb enough to say anything but apologize after such an obvious dirty hit.
I never said Kobe told Bynum to go lay out JJ, but Kobe, Fish, and co. have been notoriously dirty players, same as guys like Bowen. Not sure why you feel so compelled to defend a team that has taken THREE obvious and unjustifiable flagrant cheap shots throughout this series.

Well of course, but if he said "He was just sticking up for the team in frustration and maybe took things to far but no big deal" nothing would be done. It's not like he was forced to disapprove, is what I think Vlade is saying. He could no-comment or downplay it, to his credit he chose to address it.
I'm your huckleberry.
I'll give you the answer you're looking for, and I won't deflect or equivocate, like others have: hell yes, I would think it was wrong if it was any other team. But it wasn't; it was the gd lakers. So... Ha ha! To paraphrase Carl Lee Hailey, yes they deserve to get run up, and I hope they burn in hell!
Now that you've gotten what you were fishing for, I hope you can get on with the rest of your life.
You've been posting here for quite some time, Vlade4GM, and I can't help but notice, in your posting history, how you only "like to play devil's advocate" when it comes to the gd lakers. It seems almost conspicuously convenient.

Yes, no and no, in that order. And, if you'd read the bulk of his 5000+ posts like I have, you wouldn't be asking that question.
P.S. - Just in case you'd never been told before, political discussion is strongly discouraged around here; I'll ask you politely to please resist the temptation to include any political commentary from any potential response.

Nothing wrong with being a hybrid Lakers/Kings fan (as odd a coupling as that may be).
I didn't think the Mavs were running up the score. The Lakers had their starters in and were still playing hard... you don't let up on Kobe Bryant & Co. until they've run up the white flag (or, apparently, in the case of the Lakers -- started throwing cheap shots).
Ok, on second thought.. yeah, it is just plain wrong to be a hybrid Kings/Lakers fan -- what's wrong with you!!!

im not going to lie, I wanted to see phil jackson and the lakers get one last victory and make history with a three-peat. I dont know. I dont completely hate the lakers like a lot of people around this area and revel in watching them get blown out like that. And to tell you guys the truth, it actually irks me a little when i read about how much people hate them and were glad to see them get kicked while they were down like that. And then people accusing other people of being lakers fans like its a crime or something. I know theyre our rivals and everything but still. I dont think it makes me any less of a kings fan if i cheer for any other team or even our rivals once in a while.
I was talking of subjects in general, but I'm unaware of a strong anti-raptors/wolves/cats sentiment on this board. Still, I'm more than willing to admit that I'll probably be more likely to play devil's advocate about the Lakers because I'm more exposed to Lakers fans and their perspectives. My parents are Lakers fan, and so are quite a few of my friends.
