No one saw this!
Like I said earlier I got nothing on KL. He's a god and player to player better than IT. And though you have Aldridge, he's similar in importance to his team. Both benefit greatly from great coaching, disciplined teammates, and great pedigrees/legacies.
Dunno why you have issue with diggin SA. My son fucking hates them and I always ask wtf? You might have noticed I'm not to keen on Texas as a whole, the the spurs are not just somewhat inimitable but likable and classy doing it.

Because they have been rivals with the Lakers, it's super fucked cause one of my closest friends works for their owner and I'm still like "nope I can only have one team" but then you look at Pop (especially these days now that he is speaking his mind) and players like Robinson, Timmy, and now Kawhi it's SO HARD to not root for them. Not just Kawhi but Danny Green, Patty Mills, etc players other teams didn't want and now look at them.

...Respect for SA? Sure...But we bleed purple...It's a foreign concept to not bandwagon for some...

Absurd. Sandbox thinking. By that logic if your team isn't in the mix you root against everyone else. As a lifetime and diehard c fan I've spent some years marveling at laker quality. Not recently of course, but some years it been magic. Still hate them in a grown up sort of way....
Conversely I like and respect SA, GS, and many small market teams for their strong efforts and in some cases, modest success. It's meaningful to respect them because to be better (or get a chip) you have to go through them. If they're not good/excellent your accomplishments are hollow.
Also, by your logic, if you love Troy you must hate the Irish.

Being a USC and ND fan is absurd...My five year old self just didn't know better in time to stop it
And I said I respect other teams but just because they are good doesn't mean I'm their fan now...That's bandwagon bullshit...I root for the lesser of two evils..Like today...Pats have a bunch of rings...Go Atlanta...Were you even a real pats fan before they started winning rings? What team are you a fan of that hasn't won?

Suffered through the bears crushing in the 80's and Green Bay's drubbing in the 90's.
Been a cs and redsox fan since I first visited Boston (Newburyport) when I was a very young lad. Those trips continued throughout my childhood
There's value in LA. Love the dodgers.
ND and SC fan.
Btw. A "bandwagoner" is someone who's own identity is so shallow or nonexistent that claiming a recent winner forms their identity. Their loose and firm team allegiances are the least of their problems. I don't see that as the case with J
We can agree on underdogs, except the fakers.

Well like I said it's super fucked they're an adopted team since the drive from Austin to SA is a lot easier than the flights back out West to see some games. That said I appreciate how Pop and co approach their business but they're still a rival of the Lakers due to all the "recent" playoff battles. All that said I'm happy that Pau ended up on SAS I hope he gets another shot at a ring.

Also the Lakers are now at 18 wins so its an improvement over last season I hope Luke just lets the kids play and develop I know Lou and Swaggy want minutes but its not likely that the Lakers will make a run so might as well let the kids run.

Yeah. No hope. Phil Jackson is a passive aggressive douche tweeting Melo shit talk but he wont waive his no trade (that Phil put in his contract). Noah is a bad signing and Rose is a 1 year rental. Oakley has more fight than the entire team. Porzingis has slightly digressed. The Oakley thing is weird though. He admits to drinking before coming to MSG. I'm sure he was talking some shit to Dolan and that's what got him the boot. But yeah SR, freak show!

Porzingis can't really be held accountable for working in that dysfunctional. Dude is top notch. Lakers could have had him. He's the best thing ny has done recently. Phil just seems to have lost it. Maybe age. Maybe the breakup? Who knows. And the accounts from oak and management are so far apart it's just smacks of gross elaboration on both sides. Either way it was sad to watch. Like other teams, is like to see the knicks on the rise

He didn't lose anything...He is an all-time great COACH...not gm.
Btw I love the "Lakers could have had him" dig....The world melted when Phil drafted him but now the Lakers blew it

Sensitive much? Wasn't speaking to his coaching. He is losing it. He's the prez and it's a freak show in every way.
The world can melt down all they want; they aren't paid to draft well. Lakers passed on him

Hater much?
Naw I had a lot of doubts about Phil as a GM...No sure thing a great coach will make a great gm (or a player to gm I.e. not so sure about magic)..In fact I kinda enjoy the Knicks struggle as it shows laker fans he probably wasn't gonna fix the Lakers either. As for melo's treatment, that's Phil! He's done it to all his players...If you get soft he'll poke. Doesn't work great on people who don't care or can't handle it...(see Pau) Worked great on ride or die players like Kobe and MJ...Hard to light fires under players when their tears extinguish them

Well, shame you're not a top free agent. You'd be the only one man enough to understand Jackson. He's poisoned ny along with, but differently than Dolan.
![nod :nod:](./images/smilies/nod.gif)
everyone hates him now. Poor Jackson. Just a victim.

I get the lighting fires part, BUT he re-signed Melo 2 years ago with a full no trade clause and is all surprised he's a ball hog and doesn't play a lot of D? Was his ego so big he thought his wisdom would change him after a decade plus of playing that way? Now he can't deal him cuz of the no trade and the bonus which hits the receiving team's cap. He created this mess.
I do give Phil credit, he went for it with Rose and Noah. People had the Knicks as the 3 or 4 sead if they stayed healthy and for the most part have. No one thought they'd suck this bad! Maybe his coaching choices?
Now Oakley is banned for life from MSG?!,?,? WTF. MSG security are dicks. I was ejected from a concert once, long story and it was for dumb shit, but I was pushed around by 6 goons in an elevator and at the door that led to the street 2 guards held my arms and a 3rd lined up and kicked me in the ass so hard I flew out the door onto the sidewalk (which is actually kind of funny as I relive it in my head). Even if Oakley had a few and heckled Dolan the dude shouldn't be banned.

I read the security involved has been fired. Apparently oak was never to have made it to his seat.
