Don't be an ass. He's right, most Filipinos are band wagoners --- I should know cause I'm Filipino. So the Lakers, Bulls, and the Heat were popular there last season. Basically anything that's been hyped by the media.
Lakers fans tend to blame D'Antoni for the defense but going from D'Antoni to Byron Scott won't make that much if a difference without adding some defensive talent. They just don't have a Dwight Howard/Omer Asik type to take away those easy baskets near the rim. They don't even have a Chuck Hayes to take some charges and play quality positional defense.
You could say that it's the only teams they have exposure to, not necessarily making them bandwagon fans.
It's ironic. Lakers fans would never admit it but D'Antoni would do very well with a lineup of Davis, Randle, Kobe, Young and Lin.
im gonna love seeing what LOFs excuses are for lins flop this year. Will they start to hate kobe for not giving him the ball more? Im sure Isoball is they hated hardens, they're going to hate kobe with a passion.
Haven't the LOF's already left Clutchfans and went to the Lakers forums? What does it matter or are you one of those sad individuals that actually followed them there?
Just heard Steve Nash's nerve got reinjured. Stick a fork in him. He's done. Don't feel bad for the guy either. He's a gazillionaire, had a great career, and if he stopped playing professional sports can probably live out the rest of his life in phenomenal health. But as for the NBA? Dude is done. He's almost single handedly destroyed the lakers. Dwight was smart, leaving LA. I was kinda looking forward to seeing how Lin does this year to see if Houston really was a PG killer, but DAMN. That team is so horrible it will be impossible to judge Lin. That team is HORRIBLE. Full of rookies and old guys. Hard to imagine a worse NBA team. Lin won't be able to drive this year cause THEY REFUSE TO SHOOT 3's! HA! Madness. Paint is absolutely packed. The only two guys who can shoot 3's are Lin and Young. Hilarious. And after watching that game last night I think Lin might actually be the best player on the team. No handles and all. Unless Kobe somehow rejuvenates again. I mean, it was crazy. No threes. Old guys n rooks... brutal. BRUTAL! Ed Davis has been looking awesome in preseason, but that might be because he's not really on any scouting reports. But he really just looks good every time I see him play. I could see a team of Lin/Kobe/Davis/Young/Randle winning 20-30 games... against other trash teams looking to tank/not really trying. But any other combination of players on that roster probably really shouldn't even be playing in the NBA. When Wes Johnson missed that dunk I just... couldn't believe it. About the only positive he has is that he is supposed to be 'super athletic'. And when Ronnie Price threw a shoe... OMG. I lost it. Most pitiful thing I've ever seen. I don't know why the Lakers think this 31 year old dude is suddenly going to be able to do something in this league. I just... just can't believe what I'm seeing out of an NBA team.
Hispanics like Asians because we give them jobs. j/k....sorta, has anyone sen the back of a Chinese restaurant lately?
Your post is one of insulting posts that are typical of CF. Probably a lot of Chinese in Htown make more than you do, especially those work in the Oil industry. Whose job did you give?
The starters are a disappointment. But the bench is fast, and I think are going to be pretty fun to watch. Davis Randle Young Lin Henry Kelly Clarkson It's just that the bench is currently decimated with injuries (short term ones) , and none of them played last night except for their rookie Randle. But, yeah, the Lakers are going to be bad this year. Not as bad as they were last night, but still bad.
.. I should say, the starters are a disappointment except Kobe. Who looked terrible last night, but generally has looked pretty good so far.
Hotballa is Asian and that's what his post implied. Many LOF's are so insecure that you jump to conclusions before even reading what the guy had to say and start insulting CF.
Hispanics on the west coast actually seem to come to terms with their indigenous more asiatic roots when here on the east coast their seems to be some kind I'm Spanish and that's that kind of denial.
Like I said, I hate irrational LOFs as much as the next guy. It's just funny cuz they're not the ones posting obsessively in this thread I think I said many positive things, but I don't have the privilege of going through my post history. You're welcome to dig through it Umm.. I don't know? That's something you can find out
That's interesting. Actually a few of my hispanic acquaintances like Lin, so maybe there is something to that? Or maybe coincidence? Maybe I should do a poll (being in the Marines, get to know a lot of hispanic ppl lol)
They have cable TV and Internet as much as you do... lmfao at this comment... you think Philippines is some remote unreached area?
