Ok, I do check out some Lakers blogs and this one caught my eye...
It's a good blog. I agree with this general premise that the Lakers will be a better team next year, assuming Bynum can stay healthy/fully recover from his knee injury. I can also completely understand a Laker fan's desire to start thinking about next year. Most of the comments on this post are similar- praising the Celtics' performance and then moving the convo on to what to do for next year. Some of the comments, however, really cracked me up, and I am going to break down the post-season fury that we've ALL experienced relatively recently unless you're a Bobcats fan. This may be the only place in the world where Asthon Kutcher can anonymously call Terri Hatcher a short-sighted douchebag while Flea pleads for peace.
1) Complain about the way the conquering opponent celebrated. San Diego Chargers fans brought this to an art form. This is a great move because it deflects all anger brought forth by the loss onto something that isn't even remotely game-related. A solid move, although the shelf life for this mentality is only a couple days before you start looking like a psycho. It also warrants mentioning that THE MACHINE drilled a three at the buzzer when the Spurs had given up.

Celtics played well, i’ll give them that…
but damn they were so unclassy towards the end of the game…
i’ve never seen gatorade being poured with 5 minutes left in the game…it’s just really unclassy the way they beat the Lakers…i mean, show some respect

sako stfu, they freakin beat us by 30+ points and still were taking shots at the end.
now thats f uckin classless….. f uck em
2) Conspiracy. This one is the easiest because the NBA front office is so sketchy and the reffing is so inconsistent. Of course, it also requires the biggest dose of denial. It's a symptom of potential mental illness. Your posts on blogs will probably be subpoenaed when you are charged with a violent crime against humanity.

8 on 5 that´s all i could say 8 on 5. You will never beat 8 guys, what really dissapoints me is because we didnt even try but i gotta tell this was the worst finals i have ever seen in my young life. All calls to celtics. You ask if they deserve i say NO, you don´t act to win a championship, you don´t get help from 3 guys on the court. 8 on 5 that´s all why i could say.
3) Shift the blame to some random benchwarmer. Boston fans pinned the tail of blame on the doughy ass of our $4m-a-year redheaded wonderboy genius Brian Scalabrine. The Lakers, in this example, go after Ira Newble.

This just shows the type of defensive SF we need next year…… hmmmmm any ideas anyone?!!!!! Also we should totally trade Mihm, Radman & Walton. WE need players with Heart and Passion. And can somebody tell me why the HELL did we ever sign IRA NEWBLE??? WE BARELY USED HIM AT ALL!!!
4) Blame the GM. This is my personal favorite. It's pretty air-tight in most circumstances because you can just throw random names out there. Like, "If the Lakers weren't such IDIOTS and made that move for Baron Davis we wouldn't be talking about this today." Most people, including myself, have no idea whether Baron Davis was available, what the Lakers would have had to give up to get him if he WAS available, and have no idea whether he actually would have worked out in LA. It doesn't really matter because nobody knows- it's the ultimate straw man. However, consider the fleecing that the Lakers got with Gasol this is pretty iffy as an argument from a Lakers perspective.

TO MITCH AND MR. BUSS:
PLEASE GET RID OF..
PHIL “WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW” JACKSON
VLADIMIR “SPACE CADET” RADMONOVIC
LUKE “IN THE LIFE OF” WALTON
YES, I BLAME THE LOSS ON THEM.. including Lamar but if we can keep him that would be ok, but as a back up to Artest
BRING IN RON ARTEST!!!!
Big Phil
Jun 17th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
VLAD RADMONOVIC is the laziest piece of SH!T in the NBA. FLUKE WALTON IS JUST A HUMAN WART WHO DOES NOT EVEN BELONG IN NBA. MITCH IF U CAN’T SEE THAT AND MAKE SOME KEY CHANGES TO GET PLAYERS WITH MORE HEART, DETERMINATION, ENERGY, WHO CAN SLASH/DRIVE/CREATE THEIR SHOTS BESIDES KOBE, THEN U GOT TO GO TOO.
4a) Blame the GM and threaten to kill the opponent. This strategy is demonstrated by the aptly named "187-celtshits":

187 CELTICS i dont givvvaa a F***…..
TRADE====WALTON, RADMONOVICH, KARL, BHENGA, NEWBLE, MIHM
NEEEED TO GET===ELTON BRAND, RON ARTEST, BARON DAVIS, AGENT ZERO GILBERT ARENES…
i think we need another point gaurd..i mean fisher is good,,but we need a point gaurd to help make plays…………..
4b) Threaten to kill the opposing team's best player! Can't say I've done this myself but warrants mentioning. Yikes.

i hate Boston so much wow i hate the whole team but they played harder then we did we give up a 20 plus lead and 19 plus lead wait next season we get ron artest and we get drew back and Kobe’s finger will be great and Derek foot will get better this was big step for a young team hate K. G and ray Allen paul pierce. paul pierce better his back when he comes back to L.A p.s some one for L.A hit with a knife in chest
5) Blame the coach! Another favorite of mine. This one explains itself, but, interestingly, these Laker fans do almost none of this. This is strange because Phil was completely outcoached in this series- maybe Lakers fans aren't ready to admit it because he won three titles in LA already.

Phil.. hire a coach who will help you develop a defensive mentality ok.. we all know you need alittle help in that area. And why not try IRA Phil? I don’t understand that one. Phil??? you slowing down? If the lakers learn their lesson this series, they will next year thank Boston for the spanking of this year by kicking their Azz and getting the Championship.
6) Forget blame the GM- this one is my #1 seed of complaints- bitch about Gerald Green's lack of minutes!!!

Now can I say…….GETARTEST!GETPIETRUS!OR GETMAGGETTE and I’d take Gerald Green right now ’cause this kid has waaaaaaaaaaaaay more heart than Vlad and Luke combined,it just goes to show that you can have all the IQ in the world but if you can’t BALL you don’t deserve to be in the NBA,Period!
NO ARENAS!!!
7) Grudging acceptance. Once you've gone through all of those solutions above, you are forced to admit that a loss can't be blamed on one player, coach, owner, or executive.

i love our LAKERS very much….but the Celtics had more hunger. i hate the celts, but u gotta give credit to where it is due. im proud of our lakers. no one thought we were even gonna pass the 1st round let alone go to the finals….next year is a new year….and im looking forward to it. see u guys next season…and let the summer rumors fly!
8) Once you've accepted the loss, you start thinking about the future. Usually this starts with weird analysis. This is when you crunch some random numbers to try to figure out why things happened. Here's a great example. This poster believes that because 2009 is an odd numbered year the Lakers will win.

I predict a laker title next season, because its an odd number year 2009.
If you count the time the east won the championship, its mostly been on even number years, not counting 1994,2000,2002.
1974-Celtics
1976-Celtics
1978-Bullets(wizards)
1984-Celtics
1986-Celtics
1990-Pistons
1992-Bulls
1996-Bulls
1998-Bulls
2004-Pistons
2006-Heat
2008-Celtics
Well get it next seoson
9) Predict a championship next year.
