How about that Game 3 (Pistons Vs Lakers) last night? Are you Laker fans ready to jump off the bandwagon yet? Face it the Lakers are not hungry and the Pistons defense is too much for them. The Lakers (and everyone else) thought that this was going to be a cake walk. I guess somebody forgot to tell the Pistons that.
 
First things first. I want to say that I hate the Lakers...fuck them. Fuck them all. Are they good? Yes. People who say they suck are stupid. I just cannot stand all the bandwagon Laker fans. People who didn't give a shit about them when they were loosing. Then all of a sudden they get Shaq, then Kobe, then Phil Jackson and then everyone is on their nuts.
 
The funny thing is, that every time I mention to a Laker fan that most Laker fans are bandwagon fans they say, "Oh not me, I've always been a Laker fan." Yeah and Robert Blake didn't plan his wife's death either right? The sad thing is that whenever the Lakers seem like they are going to lose it all, a lot of their fans go into hiding.
 
Remember the Lakers first championship? Remember the finals when they played the Sixers? Right before game 1 I saw several cars with Laker flags on it. I saw them every where when I was driving to work the next day. When the Lakers lost game 1, I didn't see one Laker flag when driving to work. Damn LA, you jump off the bandwagon that fast huh?
 
Lets fast forward to this season. The Lakers are down 2-0 against the Spurs. Once again the Laker fans jump off the bandwagon. They come back and win the series (Derek Fisher is a lucky bitch) and the "fans" jump back on.
 
There are more examples but you get my point. Laker fans are bandwagon fans as a whole. I'll go as far as to say that most Laker fans are not even real basketball fans. They probably wouldn't even recognize Michael Cooper and/or AC Green in a line up.
 
When the Lakers lose this series I'm going to have the VCR on record. I can see it now. Phil Jackson (AKA Col. Sanders) is going to have that same stupid look on his face that hasn't changed in the past 10 years. Shaq will probably leave the arena (not before saying something stupid) go home and start to gain another 50 pounds. Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher will be crying on the bench like a couple of bitches. Gary Payton will give some lame excuse as to why the "Glove" couldn't even guard my baby nephew. And Karl Malone's country ass will hop into his truck and drive home.
 
I'm sure I'll get some emails saying that the Lakers were hurt (Karl Malone, Horace Grant) and that's why they lost. Well, check this, the Lakers were riding lady luck long enough. They were lucky against the Spurs and the only reason they beat the Timberwolves was because Sam Cassel was injured. Besides you should be happy, traffic would have been a bitch during the Laker parade.

Talk to ya later...
