[chocoluver4]

@EltonMarkHuerta Another fan that doesn't watch anything else than the first row of the Staples Center!

[greendynasty32]

@EltonMarkHuerta So i can't have the right to say something and then you say to me "shut up". Tell me mister non-bandwagoner is that true?: Quantity<Quality? So were were the Celtics the other TEN times the Lakers were competing for the title? What? The West was weak. When the West was strong you were on the bottom of the East! That's not my comparison you started that idiocity. Who has more loyal fans than LA? Boston? Check this: LAKERS HAVE DIE HARDS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

@greendynasty32 You have no rights to say C's fan are like that and LA fans are like that during that and that shit. What you think of the C's fans? No royal, true fans? What you think all of us are bandwagoners? Quantity<Quality 3<9 Just shut up. We have more loyal fans than LA

[greendynasty32]

@greendynasty32 Do you need to hear it another way? You had the Greatest dynasty of all time and your success in the last 20 years can be compared with the success of the Miami Heat. Comparing the Lakers to THIS is like comparing Phil Jackson to Red Auerbach. The one is the Winningest coach the other is the Greatest. When that compare turns "green" the C's fans are all happy. When it doesn't the don't want to hear anything. Lakers is the Gratest Franchise in the NBA. Success PLUS stability.

[greendynasty32]

@EltonMarkHuerta you are right they still lead the League. They don't lead in National Championships. And if or when they tie that number about NBA Championships there will be the score in the Finals from the C's fans standpoint. And i will say what i say now too. Congratulations. You have a wiining Finals record against the most stable franchise of all time. When you were good i was there to lose. When i was good you weren't there when the Lakers had the upper hand.

@greendynasty32 And yet C's still lead the league in Rings...

@willsmackyoudown i'm not the one that act's and comments like he is there for wins and losses.

Some others before me did that.

LA is a showbiz city and it was suited the team that represents that city to be at its best when the games where like rock concerts. The Boston fans are the ones that feel proud about their support to their team. But noone can stand losing and when the C's where losing the fans wheren't there. I just said something obvious that some green fans don't want to hear.

[greendynasty32]

Lewis died too. But the C's from the mid 90's to the mid 00's didn't help themselves at all? What can i remember first? Pitino? Players that he gave away for nothing? C's could rebuilt the team on their own and start winning way before 2007. So luck has a big impact but the C's didn't make the right decisions when they could so the rebuilding process that could take 6-7 years took a decade and a half and it was made not the old Auerbach way but with trades.

@greendynasty32

Reggie and Len dying... Of course Hollywood sells out lol.

[EltonMarkHuerta]

@greendynasty32 Dude Len Bias died, its a big lost for C's. Understand the circumstances
