LA Times Calls the Lakers Soft

[Shiz1111]

This article is hilarious.

Here is one of my favorite lines:

The Celtics have the eye of the tiger, the Lakers have the eye of the ****cat.

For instance:  When Paul Pierce goes out at night, he gets stabbed. When Sasha goes out, he gets his tips colored.  Or buys a new headband.

Here's another one:

The Celtics and Lakers can even be defined by their color analysts. Tom Heinsohn is a hulking beast who looks like a hitman. Mychal Thompson is from the Bahamas and wears sandals and puka shells.  Heinsohn is Tony Soprano, Thompson is Bob Marley.

That's just a couple of lines, there were so many more that made me laugh. This right on the heels of the laugh-fest I had after reading that Sasha Vujacic doesn't even wear green after we beat him so bad. The very best thing about this article is that it's written by a Lakers fan. Man oh man.

"Think of it like this: The Celtics are Rottweilers, the Lakers French Poodles. The Celtics bite your arm off. The Lakers win Best in Show."

TP for Ted Green

Do you know what happened at a Celtics game the other night? Garnett screamed and berated Glen Davis, making him actually cry.

Davis is as big as your house and the Big Ticket is so mean, he made the kid cry like, well, a Big Baby.

In movie terms, the Lakers are Paul Newman, the Celtics Charles Bronson. Newman made better movies, aesthetically he was the one you wanted to watch and paid to see.

Except of course that it was Bronson who kills everyone in the end.

That was probably my favorite.

So what's the countdown to when Ted Green gets fired from the LA Times?  He obviously didn't get the memo that all LA sportswriters are supposed to gush over the Lakers and pretend like the 2008 NBA Finals never happened.

Great read. TP!

TP this is Gold Jerry Gold.

TP, good find. Myfavorites so far:

All the Lakers hear for days on end, ad nauseam, is how they have to toughen up. How do they respond? Lamar and Trevor Ariza break out new bright yellow headbands! Then they give up 200 points to the Sacramento Kings. That’ll show em!

If the Celtics had Laker Girls, they would be Janet Reno and Madeline Albright.

If the Celtics were a video game, they'd be Grand Theft Auto.  The Lakers are Tickle Me Elmo.

And some of the comments are funny too.

TP, awesome.

Bynum offered less resistance than Oscar de la Hoya

I am still laughing!!

speaking of the savior, anyone else see that for the second time in a week, he's questioning the zen master and complaining about PT?

nothing says fake unbutu like complaining that the Fisher/Sasha/Kobe/Odom/Gasol lineup in at the end of games is hurting your PT.

TP, this is great!!!
