I can respect that attitude coming from a fan like you, since clearly you've been supporting the team through thick and thin, going way back. The ones that get to me are the people who didn't give a !@#$ about the Lakers before 2000 or even 2007, but now act like they bleed purple and gold.Originally Posted by lawdog1

I really don't think people get it. You don't understand how 08, 04, 91, etc etc burn at my soul.
Last year we won the title, 16 hours later, I was saying we need to try and get a Ray Allen, add a body down low, upgrade the bench, see if Bynum for Bosh is out there, etc etc. 16 hours......The damn parade hadn't even started yet.
The losses stay with me more than the wins.
I still remember 03. I was devastated when Horry missed that shot in game 5. DEVASTATED. Horry don't miss those shots I told myself. We shoulda won that game, and moved on to the next round, and then to the finals, and then we'da had 4 in a row.
I lose plenty rooting for the Cubs. I get losing. I'm familiar. But my Lakers, we don't lose. And when we do, then I want it fixed, immediately.
Hell, I know teams/fanbases that would jump for joy to get to a finals, even if they lose. Least they got there. No. HELL no. Win it all, or the entire season was a waste. Sure you can take a positive look from things, we certainly "were back" in 08 after the couple first round losses to the Suns, great, but we lost. We didn't have a parade. We didn't get our name in the paper, Boston did. @#$% that.
You are right. I expect, and flat out demand we win every single God damn year. I don't care who gets pissed about it. I hope we get Dwight, Chris Paul, Kevin Love, OJ Mayo, and Russell Westbrook someday. Let everyone get mad at us for that. I don't care.
I want trophies. At all costs.

Unless one has a link to So. Cal, why even root for the Lakers?
It's like rooting for the Yankees in baseball?
Why?

Don't get me started.
My little brother is a Laker fan... but he is only 12. Dude became a Laker fan during their worst years of the decade so I don't give him crap. Still though...

A lot of truth right here. Can't stand fans like that who say they are fans when they only show up when the team is winning.Originally Posted by franchise3

Exactly why another reason LAL gets hated on.
Biggest bandwagon team, ever.
Lakers fans should know this better than anybody, living in So. Cal. When times were tough, where were all the LAL bumper stickers, flags, towels, jerseys, etc?
Real LAL fans in So. Cal will tell you themselves the bandwagon is ridiculous.
Even going back to Game 2, where Staples were booing LA.
