Anything to distract from not having a plan in winning time
They ran the clock down almost every possession late, no pace, no purpose. Just confusion. His two stars were terrible at improvising, maybe you call a play every time down after the first 2 or 3 times you nearly had a shot clock violation. Lakers were #1 in free throw differential all season, including when they were way outside of the play-in
Fouls & free throws aren’t the reason they beat you.

You’re better than this. I never thought you’d be out here like Pat Bev during the play-in “championship”.
But just for clarification.

Stop it, the only time I’ve been in Laker thread was to…
1) Laugh
2) To put Essential in his place.
He used to swear things would happen that never did.

Wait one second.
There are absolutely similarities between both fan bases Sohi, I agree. But here is the big difference compadre.
The Knicks don’t have a national frontrunning fanbase like the Lakers. We don’t have fans in the DMV, or LA, or Texas, or Miami, or Utah, etc…. (Unless they’re transplants).
If you’re from SoCal or Cal or whatever, salute bro. I got nothing against you. You’re rooting for your squad. There is no hate there. Just respect.
But the minute some out of town Laker fan (like the ones we ALL grew up with and know) start talking crazy it doesn’t make any sense to me.

That’s just liking basketball bro.
“What should ______ team do?”
I do that for alot of teams.
Like I’m saying I don’t hate the Lakers bro. The only teams I truly hate are probably Miami. But I respect them.

I may be alone in this but in 2023 I think the idea that you have to have grown up in an area or currently live in an area to be a fan of a team is antiquated. It's be a player-centric league for over a decade (since Bron went to Miami and Steph Curry changed how the game is played IMO).

If you’re a player fan that’s cool. That’s not new.
I mean we all grew up with crazy Bulls fans too because they idolized Michael Jordan. When they were like 5 years old.
But I like Luka does that make me a Mavs fan. Hell no. I’ve been waiting for Cuban to F that up for the longest. And here we are..
I’ll watch whatever team Wemby gets drafted to religiously too.

If the Knicks had as many rings as the Lakers, there would be Knicks fans all over the US. Just look at the Bulls. They have fans all over.
Hell look at the Warriors in this thread. I see fans of terrible teams in here live vicariously through the warriors because their local teams suck ***.

Man if Kawhi shot the ball twice and didn’t score in the 4th, you’d have a field day.
The fake Kawhi hate is ain’t even real with you.

So this is where we may have a different opinion. Technically, don't you want to see the Mavericks succeed if you are a Luka fan? Same for the next team, if he leaves, even if it is not the Knicks? Maybe not a "fan" of that team but I would think that you would root for them. That is what
WASHED KING
does.On the other end of the spectrum I think there are people who grew up all over the country as Magic Johnson, Kobe, Shaq fans that became Lakers fans in the 90s and 00s then are now lifelong fans which I don't see a problem with. Contrary to what
sohi 23
said, I don't think there are Bulls fans all around in the country anymore. I think the Lakers are different because they have had the exciting players combined with team success for 40 years now.
