Are you serious? Even though he choked at times, for a guy who brought any glimpse of excitement and superstar talent to this team, this is how you treat him? Why do people on here care so much if he does or doesn't. Just move on. I for one am happy for him if he does make it out of the first round
Remember if this guy hadn't been hit with knee injuries at like age 29, he could probably be in the conversation with Kobe, Melo, and Lebron as an elite player. He was unlucky, and I think at the very least he deserves a playoff series win for his good career, albeit from the bench
I want the option I'm rooting for Spurs to win because f the Lakers. And a 1st round loss only helps our chances to steal Dwight. I voted don't care because the Tmac situation doesn't matter to me at all. If he wins a title that's fine with me, he may have not been as hard a worker as Kobe and his last few years were horrendous what he did, but he tried REALLY HARD especially come playoff time, and he just didn't have a team, and fell into some bad luck.
Yeah right. Someone start a new poll: How do you think tinman voted in the "Root for Evil Lakers?" thread?
could careless about his 2nd round. More interested in seeing the Lakers out of the playoffs. Although, I am curious if he has anything left in the tank.
contrary to popular opinion from the kobe fanbois, we dont hate the Lakers *just* because of Kobe Bryant....I just dont give a crap about Kobe, I dont hate him...hate takes energy and he isnt worth it. that said....never ever root for the Lakers, no matter what. I dont like the SPurs, but at least they are a TEXAS team, which puts them above the Lakers from the get-go. Your poll options are flawed, so I wont vote.
Honestly, I do have a grudging respect for how they go about their business, but it is so damn hard to root for our main regional rivals. In sporting things, I root for Houston teams first, then Texas teams if no Houston teams are involved....with one exception.....Dallas teams I can never root for any Dallas teams. yeah, Im a hypocrite...deal with it.
Poll is faulty!! Left out root for BOTH Lakers and Spurs to fail and become laughing stock of the NBA!!... .......... .......... ..........
Sorry, I will never ever cheer for the Lakers. Hakeem never threw a punch a tmac, but hakeem tried to whoop some lakers ass back in the day! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UWekj2wcXes?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You've gotta be a serious hater if you root for the Fakers just to keep Tmac from the second round. Who gives a **** if Tmac is a second round virgin or not.
