L.A. Lakers Haters: Come Out From Under Your Rocks

Jabber HeadMay 12, 2010

You know who you are. You're either a Lakers Hater who is praying that the Lakers don't repeat as champs or you're a (former) doubting Lakers fan who didn't think they can do it.

My question is...Where are you now? Come out where I can see you...nee...verbally smack you around a bit. I know where the doubters are...wearing purple & gold and pretending that you didn't jump off the bandwagon. But I can only find a few of you Lakers Haters. I therefore assume that the rest of you are under a rock some place...where you belong.

Well, I'm calling you out. I'm half-senile, but I remember back just a month or so ago when you were prepping a tombstone for the Lakers. You remember...back when the Lakers were dorking around... lolly-gagging...playing like they didn't care. Actually, they didn't care...about the tail-end of a virtually useless regular season.

You loudly ranted and scoffed that there was no way the Lakers could turn it on in the playoffs. WHOOPS! Ask the Thunder and especially the broomed-out Jazz if the Lakers can turn it on.

Sure, the Thunder were the lowly 8th seed, but they won just 7 games less than the Lakers did in the regular season. Bye Bye Thunder. Take solace in that Durant is a freak-in-the-making and you have young, talented team with a bright future. But for now, you get to watch the Finals on TV...or maybe you can get tickets.

Then came the thumping Jazz with their 53 regular season wins (just 4 less than the Lakers) and their moronic loud-butt, Fisher-hating-because-he-left-them-for-his-daughter's-health fans. Then WENT the Jazz...swept out and back to fishing on the Great Salt Lake (Are there any fish in that lake?).

I expect, however, you Lakers Haters to soon slime out from under your rocks...or from in front of your TV sets watching the Celtics explain to Bron Bron why he is not MJ and Mo "Brick" Williams isn't Scotty Pippen. You'll come out to watch the Lakers-Suns series and pray out loud that the red-hot Suns burn the Lakers.

Not going to happen.

You'll be gnashing your teeth and rendering your rock-torn garments in futility as Da Black Mamba, Pau Da Plunderer and the rest of Da Lake Show send the Suns to the Arizona golf courses in 6.
