In response to KingShaq's comment:
So fill in the blanks:
If the Spurs don't make it to the Finals, _____________
If the Celtics don't make it to the Finals, ______________
Don't forget, the Spurs/Celtics fail to make it to the finals more often than not. Now, you are trying to use a non-representative sample (small minority) to illustrate your point. But knowing your ignorance, can't blame you for that....
But if you're only 5-3 in the Finals, it's not a sure thing that you'll be champs because it has been proven that you lost to 3 different east teams in the Finals.
The Celtics only lost to the Lakers and the St.Louis Hawks in the Finals.
Your Lakers even have a losing record to the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
But it's not a sure thing that the Celtics will make it to the finals. As a matter of fact, it's a long shot. Its odds (31.8%) are even less than the Lakers winning in the finals (51.6%). So in other words, I like the chance of the Lakers winning in the finals than the Celtics making it to the finals.
That's what I mean when you move the entire field when you lose an argument. I never said anything about making it to the Finals. All I said was if a team makes it to the Finals, what that team does in the Finals determines how great that team is. The Finals is where the pressure to win is at its highest.
Again, just say the Lakers are a crappy team and you'll feel much better.

I'd rather have the Lakers records over the Celtics any day of the week and twice on Sunday. No way would any Lakers fan trade our championships (especially modern NBA championships) and finals appearances for the Celtics who hardly ever compete for titles and who won most of their championships in the ancient past NBA where there were only 8 or 9 teams in the league, only TWO 7-footers, etc. etc.

...I mean, your championships where so long ago, there are no highlights for you to enjoy, just some grainy black and white film of a single camara angle shot with some guy with a raspy voice that is absolutely intolerable, screaming about some player stealing the ball and how it's all over.
In contrast to the Lakers who are always in the mix, year in year out, decade after decade, Celtics glory days are stuck in the ancient past NBA during a time when no one gave a crap about basketball.

Just remember, the NBA is still going strong. 20 years from now, the Lakers would be far behind the Celtics in # of championships won. Just wait, you're so impatient!
And of course you can't appreciate American sports history, during the 60s, your grandparents were literally in the bush league. I mean they were in the bushes waiting for food to be available. You're lucky that you don't have to look for food that way anymore.

The Celtics are NOW a 1-title every quarter century team. LMAO!!!!
The Celtics in a mere 6 years will be a 1 back to back title every HALF century team. Ouch! Bill Russell ain't walking through that door anytime soon.
Have a fantastic day!
Come on, the last 2 seasons, the Lakers only won 1 game in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Last season this happened.

The previous season, this happened.

If I was to guess where Fiercest is from, he is from the places he describes when he tries to hurl insults. It is a sign not just of imaturity but insecurity. I would probably say he is from the Philippines? But what I would also say is that it doesn't matter Fierce where you came from and who you left behind, basketball in a universal sport now. There are Lakers fans all over the world, even in poor countries like the one you came from. There is no shame in that.

The world is catching up to the US in basketball. Look at how many players from other countries are now playing in the NBA

That's why I said you're lucky that you didn't have to be a "bushman anymore". But if you check your family tree, you know the real score.

And please, who are you trying to fool? I mean when was the last time someone named Bracamonte played in the NBA?
You have no respect for American sports history because it is foreign to you. So stop pretending to be somebody you are not.

Looks like you know a lot about the Philippines.
Are you describing the country where you are from?
How could you know what it's like in the Philippines if you weren't there, right?
Gotcha!
