    Nothing But a Shred
    Posted by Flea on March 7, 2007, 5:24 a.m. ET

    lakers continue to lose
    you know you are hurting as a team when you consider a victory to 'hang in there' against a great team like the suns
    you know, the lakers have been hurt by injuries but, the bottom line
    is they are just not a great team right now
    i was wrong about them this year
    i really thought they had potential to be great
    though, of course i still hold a vestige of hope for them to get lamar and luke back and get some sort of magical playoff momentum
    it would seem to be an overly optimistic fantasy at this point
    great teams dont lose like they do
    when the suns lost amare stoudemire last year they just continued to whup on other teams
    and still put up a great fight in the western conference final
    because they had the belief in their system and the power to execute it with high energy on a consistent basis
    the lakers injuries or no, have been unable to do that
    i honestly believed. earlier in the season, that they were at the same level with dallas and phoenix
    but i was wrong
    my shred of hope is nothing but a shred of hope
    but great kingdoms have been built from a shred of hope
    the lakers getting or not getting scottie pippen
    it is hard to imagine that it would change anything one way or the other
    but phil jackson sure knows a lot more about basketball than me if
    him and mitch think it is good then i say upwards and onwards

    whats up with smush having a tanty
    it aint no time for tanties when the team is down
    it is time for putting all egos aside and contributing when you are asked

    You know that it's looking bad in LALA Land if one of their biggest fans is calling them out.

    Remember this song by the Chili Peppers (who are playing in Houston tonight, BTW)

    Magic Johnson by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

    L. a. lakers fast break makers
    Kinds of the court shake and bake all takers
    Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact
    M-a-g-i-c see you on the court
    Buck has come to play his way and his way is to thwart
    M-a-g-i-c magic of the buck
    Other teams pray for dreams
    But he dont give a ****
    Penetrating the lane like a bullet train
    Comes the magic blood a telepathic brain
    Knucklehead suckers better duck
    When the buck comes through like a truck
    Scott stops pops and drops it in
    On his way back gets a little skin
    From the hand of a man named a. c. green
    Slam so hard break your t.v. screen
    Worthys hot with his tomahawk
    Take it to the hole make your mamma talk
    I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
    Is coming to your town and hes going to make rubble
    L. a. lakers fast break makers
    Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
    Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact
    Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
    Cause they got more moves
    That a bowl full of jelly
    The buck stops here - pops - then cheers
    A roar through the forum
    That deafens my ears
    The one and only know if his kind
    Sits in a throne
    Not for the records that he holds
    But for being bald and bold
    Kareem abdul jabbar
    All time great super super star
    I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
    Is coming to your town and hes going to make rubble
    Does anybody want some magic johnson
    L. a. lakers fast break makers
    Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
    Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact

    The show was incredible last night. It was pretty funny to see Flea dressed in an old school Lakers short set. I bet he is the only guy in the world who could wear that in public and not get laughed at. I bet people would just say oh thats just Flea being Flea.
