Metta put this on Twitter/FB lastnight and I was thinking the same thing during the game. When the Nets were at the free throw line, the crowd was silent as hell...

Look at you.
Send a message in November.
A win is a win.
Well which is it? Sending a message, or just getting another W?
Basically, like your buddy Doo, you don't have the slightest clue what the hell you are talkin about. Same as him. He just posts gifs all day and capitalizes spurs, while you run around starting Kobe fights all over the damn board. Same dudes, different approaches.
So tell me, when we got drubbed in the Western Coference Finals against the Nuggets, and JR was walkin like a ****** back to the bench, the city/team/players were celebrating their game 4 win like it was 1999, what was the message in the game we played that season, in November? Ya know, cuz we were 2 games from the Finals, what did our win 6 months earlier point out, to those flaming idiots in Denver? What was the message? Please, enlighten me ol wise one.
Just cuz I doubt you remember, the Nuggets never won a game that again after that game. The Lakers came back to Denver in game 6 and absolutely crushed the Nuggets. So once again, was there a message even in that game 4 win 4 days earlier? Doesn't seem like it, does it? But YOU think, a win in game #9-12-15-25, etc in the REGULAR season, before Christmas (the playoffs start about 4.5 months after Christmas, fyi) THOSE games can send a message, but us getting drilled within a playoff series, and then not losing again, somehow, there's no message in that.
As you said dude, a win is a win. A loss is a loss. They all add the same. Sure, beating the Celtics is more fun than beating the Bobcats, but in the win and loss total, they count the same. Only the emotion changes. Your emotion. My emotion. Fans emotion. Not the win or loss tallys.
So stop. Beat Memphis by 30, or lose by 30, no one will even remember the game 10 days after. It's just another game. In fact, why don't you tell me why the Memphis game means more than the Nets game, or the Kings game, or any other game. You seem big on sending messages to the league, cuz ya know, the Mavs sent us one, right? They beat us on our court. Does that not matter now? The Spurs, they beat us on our court, did they send us a message? Or are we the only team in the league that can send messages?
Remember that year we lost both times to the Cavs, the Celtics beats us, we lost to all the big teams that year, and we won the title? 2010 I believe. Was the postman not delivering messages that year?
Please, no more message talk before Thanksgiving. Thanks.
CP
The message is showing how good this team can be against top teams.
AND
EVERY GAME matter dude. Get that through your head. You don't care about November i get you. But that's not me dude. I want W regardless. That's my approach. I was one of those dude that panicked a little bit during preseason and after we were 0-4. Thanks god Mitch Kupchake feel the same way and fire Mike Brown. If he was thinking like you we would probably still be under Mike Brown right now because it's November and it's too early right? Smh
I said a win is a win because we need as many season W as possible. Home court matter in playoff. The West is really competitive right now. We haven't beat a top team yet so here's the opportunity to get a legit W, feel good about ourselves, send a message to the league and also build up the team confident.
Your 09 Denver Nugget example is way off too by the way. They didn't beat us in our home by double digits. We did
We didn't lose to all the big team in 2010. Cavs didn't play us in playoff. Thanks god lol. We beat the Celtics in regular season that year at least once i think. Guess what though? A W in regular season like that gave us the home court advantage in the 10 Finals against Celtic. If we didn't get home court that year we could have lost because the Finals went 7 games.
lol You lose again. Don't tell me that i don't know what im talking about. Look at yourself.lol
Dude, I tried to be nice.
11/13/2009, the Denver Nuggets DESTROY us 105-79. Message sent?
We played Lebron later that year, lost.
Played Lebron again, lost
Lost one to Boston, won one. Lost to the Spurs late in the year, Orlando beat us, OKC beat us, Denver beat us AGAIN, in April........
Yet we won the title. What statements were sent?
The year before, as was said, we lost both games to Orlando, but beat them in the finals. And I didn't say Denver beat us at home, I said they beat the hell out of us. When JR had that gif walkin past Phil like a ******. They still murked us. Yet we didn't lose again against them.
So show me, WHERE are these big huge messages sent in November basketball? WHERE do those games matter in May/June?
They don't.
Sometimes, you punt a game away. Second of a back to back on the raod. 4th game in 5 nights, etc. First game back at home, after a long road trip. Those are all trap games. **** happens. Why send a statement against Memphis, the day after Thanksgiving, only to play again 21 hours later in Dallas?
Statement.

LinkAn Exclusive Interview With The Lakers Bros From That GIF
Surely you've seen this GIF by now, featuring the two greatest bros to have ever attended a Lakers game. We were so enthralled by it that we made it our mission to discover the identity of those two bros and do whatever we could to become bros with them. We succeeded: both bros, Ryan and Brian—who are not brothers but are, again, bros—reached out and agreed to do a Q&A over email.
Deadspin: How did you score those seats, bro?
Ryan: My parents won them in an auction that donated the money to the Las Madrecitas.
D: What particular play got you so amped, bro?
R: I was pretty amped thru the whole game. The Lakers were on fire and I was into it cuz my best friend Brian was with me.
Brian: Kobe's and one layup.
D: Ryan, why were you wearing sunglasses inside, bro?
R: I was wearing the sunglasses inside cuz I knew the camera always looks for people wearing shades cuz they r usually famous. My plan worked hahaha.
D: Brian, how come you weren't wearing sunglasses like your bro Ryan, bro?
B: We found them in his mom's car. And it was his 18th birthday and he decided to wear them.
D: Did you and your bro wearing matching shirts on purpose, bro?
B: No. His mom bought them for us before the game.
D: How long have you been a Lakers fan, bro?
R: I've lived in Los Angeles for 17 years so my parents kinda got me into it when I was young, but I've gone to a couple games. I'm not a super hardcore fan but I like going to the games once in a while, but now I will def go more often.
B: Since I was like 10.
D: How stoked were you when the Lakers got Dwight Howard and Steve Nash?
R: I was pretty stoked cuz the Lakers starting lineup now is crazy good so the games are gonna be fast paced and high scoring.
B: I was super excited for Dwight and Steve.
D: What did you think of Mike Brown, the old Lakers coach? Chill or not chill?
R: He was a decent coach but he should have definitely been replaced.
B: I think Mike D'Antoni is a better choice.
D: What do you think of Mike D'Antoni, the new Lakers coach? Does he seem like a solid bro?
R: I think he'll be a great coach and his offense is way more fast paced than Brown's. For sure a solid broski.
B: I think D'Antoni is a great coach, and I think his open floor offense will be very fun to watch.
D: What's the sickest thing you've ever seen, bro?
B: The sickest thing I have ever seen is probably Dwight's dunk up close at the last Lakers game.
R: Sickest thing I've ever seen was when my favorite mountain, Park City got three feet of snow and boarding it was so fun. Love to shred the pow.
D: Was that Frank Robinson sitting in front of you, bro?
R: Yea I'm pretty sure it was, and he was pretty unenthusiastic about the game. Needs to bro it up a little more.
B: No idea haha.
D: Ryan, how did you and Brian become bros? Are you guys best bros?
R: We became bros a few years ago we met thru my friend Quincy and we r def best bros and we will remember this publicity for the rest of our lives. Thanks again for everything you've done for us and actually understanding the joke about us overdoing the bro look. Im glad ur so chill about all this!
We'd like to thank Ryan and Brian for being such awesome bros. They are the coolest Lakers fans we've ever met.

He's actually playing decent as of late. Making right plays and hitting open treys.
Anyway, here's the gif version of Metta head rubbing Avery
p.s I agree with Metta and Dwight, the fans watching at staples should be loud as ****. like 2000 staples status

I know y'all heard Mike D talking about Ron taking 9-10 threes a game, and that he should be able to make 4 of them.
I'm sure you hate that, but if it works? C'mon, man... come back around to RonRon. Instead of having him be confused in the offense, Mike has given him a role, a defender who will spot up, a la Haslem, Tim Thomas.

Lakers fan are horrid at Staples. Such a disappointment. I hate the fact that all the lower section are taken up by celebrities that are there just to look cool. Too cool to even throw on the giveaway shirt...

Duhon doing the travel dance.i mean all the rich folks sit in the lower level dont say a damn thing besides golf clap. i sat way up there against the kings still felt quiet but still had more emotion than the lower level. Dwight gotta get used to it
