I've been a Lakers fan since 1978, days of Norm Nixon & Jamal Wilkes, to the Magic years, through the Shaq & Kobe years and have always been open minded.  But Dude, the Lakers got hosed by the refs., and if the players and or coaches speak up, that fat bastard David Stern starts to fine them.  Well no more, the players should speak up about the differential bullshit calls, east coast bias, and making it so that it must go 7 games because of all the money involved.   Oh yeah, Steve "Hair Plugs"Hartman tells it the way it is, Mychal "Tight Shorts" Thompson is a bigot, and Vic The **** Brick just plain sucks.
