Guru has his sarcastic remarks... mainly because of the incessant nonsense that clutters this board. But he has always provided insight, analysis, and basically anything that has to do with this team. This guy has over 8000 quality posts in a fairly short amount of time. You might want to think things through before you run off at the mouth.

I really liked how they played today
-Butler and Mihm picked up scoring the scoring as well [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] other things
-Odom is continuing to rebound great so is Mihm
-Tierre is showing more of what he did in the preseason
-JJ has been a big suprise hes been good off the bech
-BALL MOVEMENT has been great. Id love thes wide open jumpers.

all in all the Lakers played real good.

I just don't understand why we have to assume that the Lakers will have to wait 2 years to make a run for the playoffs.

If any of us Laker fans told ourselves, "Hey, we're going to be a lottery team for two years, and still may not have a chance. Oh no, we play the Hawks tonight...another loss" and mean that...then there'd be no reason to be a fan.

The definition of a fan is someone who bleeds their team colors, will debate all day long about how good his/her team is, and will be the first one watching (and eventually the last one watching) his/her team, pulling away with a win or a devastating loss. A real Laker fan has fifteen favorite players, and will tell you each of their weaknesses and strengths...don't be surprised if those 15 wore the same colors.

I wore my Laker jersey (in fact, a Kobe jersey...another risk) the day after their Game 5 loss to the Pistons, and I went through the mall for a few hours and ended up buying a Malone jersey that same day. No shame, and I didn't hold my head down, because I knew and was absolutely sure that there was another time and another place to win a championship.

Right now, I'll predict a second round or WCF loss this season...but I'll gladly admit that I expect a championship. Disagree...I don't care...because I'm a Laker fan, and that's all I care about.

I just don't understand lefty's pessimism. Yes I know it's a young team but to say that fans here shouldn't have high hopes now, but maybe in 2 to 3 years is just uncalled for. And I don't understand the necessity to remind us every time that this is a young team in almost all of your posts.

Yes, we acknowledge the fact that this team is young, it'll take some chemistry going, and yes we all know it'll be a while before we become one of the NBA's elite teams again. However, we also understand the fact that we're here for the long haul, even during painful bumps in the road with our team. And most of the people here will support the team no matter what.

But to downplay the true fans' reaction here regarding every loss that we have wherein we could still see the positives (like in the Spurs victory) or for every victory we get that we can bask in (like against the Nuggets or tonight against the Hawks'), that's not pessimism. It's more like an intelligent version of a Shaq Fan post.

Following the team itself will be hard already this season with the bumps on the road. But to put more negative spins in all the positives that we could possibly find in every game, whether it results in a win or loss, I think, does not have a place around here.

Quotes from Tonight's Game:

Caron- "I was just running the floor. My teammates were finding me," he said. "Obviously they are going to collapse on Kobe and Lamar (Odom) and I am going to get a lot of open looks. I was knocking them down. I think I'm at my best in transition. We got up-and-down -- that's our offense."

"It's sore right now. We'll see what happens," he said. "It should be all right." (talking about his sprained left ankle)
--------------------------------------------------
Kobe- "For him, it's just about getting comfortable and getting into a flow," Bryant said of the 24-year-old Butler. "He has had some injuries here and there so that has kind of broken up his rhythm. But once he gets into his rhythm, he is very capable of having these kind of nights."
--------------------------------------------------
Walker- "Kobe's a good player, but he's also got a good supporting cast," Atlanta's Antoine Walker said. "A lot of those guys made shots tonight. We weren't necessarily worried about stopping Kobe. We didn't want the other guys to get off tonight, and a couple of guys did."
--------------------------------------------------
Rudy T-"When you're fast-breaking like that, everyone has an equal opportunity," Lakers coach Rudy Tomjanovich said in explaining why his team had six players score in double figures.

"This kid is a developing player, and tonight was a big step in the right direction." (regarding Butler)

Why do people respond to such drivle' ? Let them stew in their on pessimism and enjoy the game and its outcome for yourself.

I had a wonderful evening and when i read the final score i was excited..more excited when i saw the box score (very productive). I had to rein myself in tonight because after all it was the Hawks. On the other hand our first win was against the Nuggets ( a better or equal team on paper). Its all about the big picture as we march forward through the season and id much rather have a 2-2 record goig into this road trip than 1-3.

In regard to pessimist or haters the more fuel you provide for their post the more they seem to proliferate.

I don't think it's us that provides the fuel. Some people just don't know when to quit and are just there to piss everybody off regardless of what everybody says.
