Rivalry is a matter of personal preference. Since you don't think it's a rivalry, fine. To you, it's not. BUT you're in the minority. It is a rivalry to a lot of people. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised you don't see it as one.
OOOOOOHOOHOHOHOHOHO no im not. kingsfans excluding myself and possibly a few others think its a rivalry. go to a spurs board, lakers board. go to espn.com. email espn radio. no one outside of sactown thinks the lakers and kings are rivals. they would laugh. we have no rings and we've never got over the hump. yet. i would be laughing too. i may be the minority on this board, but im part of the majority outside the board. i want kings success as much as anyone. but i know when im whipped
You need to stop worrying about what other team's fans think; **** 'em.OOOOOOHOOHOHOHOHOHO no im not. kingsfans excluding myself and possibly a few others think its a rivalry. go to a spurs board, lakers board. go to espn.com. email espn radio. no one outside of sactown thinks the lakers and kings are rivals. they would laugh. we have no rings and we've never got over the hump. yet. i would be laughing too. i may be the minority on this board, but im part of the majority outside the board. i want kings success as much as anyone. but i know when im whipped
I don't waste my time hanging around Spurs or Lakers boards. Why on earth would I?
My comment was in regards to THIS board, where you are clearly in the minority. You can argue semantics all you like but you aren't going to change the mind of even one person here who does see it as a rivalry.
What part of "personal preference" didn't you understand? That's a lot like trying to tell someone whose favorite ice cream is chocolate that they're wrong because yours is pistachio.
EDIT: One more little thing? The NBA apparently thinks it's a rivalry since it's one of the games being featured in commercials for RIVALRY WEEK. But then, what do they know?

I care what other team's fans think about Kings Fans and whether or not they consider Kings/Lakers to be a rivalry slightly less than I care about "power rankings."
Kings/Lakers is a rivalry, and anybody who thinks otherwise can go to hell.
Who said it was still competitive? Who said it was still brutal? I guess we see where your confusion lies.c'mon man, relax there. even after 2 years of serious losing im glad youre still conviced this is a competitive and brutal rivalry
Knives out! I look at GP's style for making changes and I think the changes, as usual, will seem slow going to fans. GP tends to make one or two trades per year and slowly retool. It is like this:
The current lineup isn't working, let's trade one guy and try that for half the season; if that is not working, let's trade one guy and try that for the rest of the season. Still not working? Let's trade one guy and try that.... and on and on.
You are being judgemental. Just because we don't feel that same way as you, doesn't mean we are wrong. By the way, why does it really matter what we feel, obviously its different that how you feel.thats just because of that 7 game series. people throw around the term rivalry because of it. but people know better. in a rivalry you're competing and going for the same goal.
watching lakers on top of the west. number 1 seed. and without shaq, fox, horry etc. only 2 players remain. fisher, bryant. they found a way to dominate again. and we're still finding ways to stink it up.
Take away Kobe and the Bynum/Gasol pick-ups would not have changed much.Yep. But don't you know the Bynum pick and Gasol trade were lucky? Yeah, right.The Lakers have made their own luck, and now the Kings are making their own un-luck. To think that I was a Laker fan (born and raised in L.A.)and changed my allegiance to the Kings. What was I thinking?

27-34 now. last year on march 6th we were 28-32. talk about coaching and rebuilding. im not shocked we have a bad record, im shocked we had a better record at this point with musselman. we even started off 8-5 last year. whats really the reason we have a worse record than last year
There, I fixed it for you.
This team, in general, has been much more competitive than last year with more close games and more effort on a nightly basis. I consider that an improvement in itself. I also agree with Spike on several of his points.
Yep, you are correct. Our record was better than last year.....by ONE game.winning is winning. losing is losing. doesnt matter if most of our games this year were close or not. our record was better last year.

Its ONE measley game. Why are you making a moutain out of a mowhill.still. who thought we'd be worse than last year.
winning is winning. losing is losing. doesnt matter if most of our games this year were close or not. our record was better last year. thats just like saying you would rather have a record of 5-10 with losing the 10 games by a point each rather than having a record of 10-5 and getting blown out in the 5 losses. i would take the 10-5.
