From one grandpa to another, so much wisdom yet so unsettled.
and from one grandpa BACK to another. simply a matter of understanding the situation...
Was about to say, even worse is that LAL didn't gain any ground on 8th place Houston.
I meant you and trojan. I have no wisdom (or maybe just a little) unlike either of you guys.
I am a little confused as to which wisdom to follow: one wants the Heat to win, the other wants Miami to lose???
Lakers without a doubt will be cheering for the Rockets.
These guys are not smart.
They rather be 4 games back instead of 3.
World Peace and K. Bryant make top ten of most disliked athletes, surprised no-one from the Heat even sniffs the list.
Time to switch side gents????? Surely, you don't want to be associated organization who tolerates thugs like that, right???

Was about to say, even worse is that LAL didn't gain any ground on 8th place Houston.That's another way of looking at it. I was following BK about the situation and wanting to complement LAL on the nice win.
What would be worse is if they lost ground. Always looking for the negative.
Doesn't Kobe sell the most jerseys worldwide? I guess he is the most liked and most disliked athlete.Maybe his jerseys were sold mostly to children and foreigner who can't read.
And since when is being disliked the equivalent of being a thug?
Personally, I say GOOD!! I hope the Lakers are the most hated team too!! No one hates on the unsuccessful!!
My intention was to indicate that even with what seem to be a very good run for the Lakers, they didn't gain any ground on the 8th place Houston. If LAL get into a bad stretch, it will be much worse.
World Peace and K. Bryant make top ten of most disliked athletes,Forgot to add, what happened to D. Howard? How could he not make the top ten? Shame on D. Howard, LAL is losing out, come on the Lakers need more disliked athletes!!
"oh wait. i guess you think the Heat not getting a title WON'T be looked at as a failure this season... "
A failure? No. A disappointment, yes. They are not so heavily stacked that anything less than a title is a failure. There are several really good teams out there with as much talent as Miami has.
The Lakers not being a Top 4 seed in the playoffs with the roster they have is a FAILURE.
Oh really? You were looking to compliment the Lakers by saying, "even worse is that LAL didn't gain any ground on 8th place Houston"??? That's interesting. BTW, word to the wise..."following" punchline (aka bksballer) has never helped anyone - the blind leading the blind.That's another way of looking at it.

..."mostly to children and foreigner who can't read"??? How about morons who can't write??? falu, I got news for you, as polarizing a personality as Kobe is, he's got legions of fans everywhere - both nationally and internationally - and it's almost at an unprecedented level not seen since Jordan in his heyday. Watch any Lakers telecast on the road you will invariably see literally entire parcels of Kobe fans cheering him on, no matter where he plays.Doesn't Kobe sell the most jerseys worldwide? I guess he is the most liked and most disliked athlete.Maybe his jerseys were sold mostly to children and foreigner who can't read. Those who can read and vote have spoken.
Name me any Lakers fan who has labeled either James or Wade as a "thug"? Foolish, yes...thug, no.And since when is being disliked the equivalent of being a thug?I am just using the same word that LAL fans have been using on James and Wade.
I got more news for you - there have been several attempts to start other Heat-centric thread on the general board, including punchline's hilarious "Join the "Heat Lovers" club", which have all fallen on deaf ears and suffered ignominious fates...but I dare you to go ahead and try.Personally, I say GOOD!! I hope the Lakers are the most hated team too!! No one hates on the unsuccessful!!Yes, I see the wisdom. Looks like Miami team/fans are in a perfect place then. Let's start another thread 'Join the "Heat Fearer" club' also.
Beating the Nets on the road without 2 starters and losing Pau late in the 4th quarter speaks to that. However, if Pau is going to be out awhile (and it didn't sound encouraging last night) than they are going to need Howard to play through the shoulder injury and avoid any further injuries or the season could fall apart quickly.Agreed!! LAL are finally playing up to their potential. At the same time, their ages (and hence injuries) maybe their biggest hindrance. It's hard to have any continuity when players kept on falling out of the rotation due to health issues.
6-1 over the last 7 games and 3-1 on the current road trip are encouraging signs though.
