I can top that one. You know the expression "There's no tomorrow"? That comes from the Lakers. Back in the sixties, after another agonizing loss to the Celtics in game seven, Ray Felix, one of the Laker centers before Wilt, tried to console his teammates by saying "Don't worry guys, we'll get them tomorrow".
A perturbed Hot Rod Huntley snapped back, "You idiot, there is no tomorrow"!
BTW did those Sacramento fans get good seats for the finals?
They sat in the Budwieser tent in the parking lot, with a few hundred Kings fans that could not buy tickets.
Penny Marshall, who can't decide whether she is a Lakers or Kings fan, loved game seven! She was disappointed though that the Kings chose that game to totally defeat themselves. As were most Kings fans.
But, it is a learning process. Kings learned a lot this year, they will be there again next year and we will see if this loss made them strong.
The slogan up here in Cow Town is, "beetle hay!".
STAPLES.... roaring flames outside after the games are over?... yeah we got that!
Interesting use of the word "intangible".
The only paying customers in Oakland are about 200 fans from Sacramento who, since we got electricity just two years ago, never noticed that they left!
No, I am not "jealous" of the Lakers. Let's try this again, and this time, pay attention:
I was rooting for the Kings not only because I have despised the Lakers ever since I became a Warriors fan, but because they -- like the Yankees of the past decade -- are heralded as conquerors before they have earned the distinction. Even if they turn out to be right, it is profound[ly] disrespectful to the other competitors to suggest that they shouldn't even bother playing. And here you are, singing "We Are The Champions" before game 2 of the Finals. Typical.
Fans like you make it all the more enjoyable, when we win. I love the fact that there are so many people that hate the Lakers, because it means the focus will always be on them.
"...the focus will always be on them?" What's it to you? Are you a Laker?
I quite frankly don't understand fans like you. Are you one of those people whose self-esteem is wrapped up in whether his/her team wins or loses? You said you pity me -- I have a feeling I should pity you.
No, the Bible doesn't say that. And God doesn't care who wins ball games.
