If there is one thing that bugs me about some Laker fans, it’s that they can be unloyal from time to time. I was watching last nights game against the Houston Rockets and some of the Laker fans in attendance started booing the Lakers during parts of the game. Why? So they had a bad game so what? It’s an 82 game season and things are going to go wrong from time to time. Get over it.
I must admit that ever since Shaq was traded, I have enjoyed being a die hard Laker fan even more. The reason is because all of the fake “fair weather” Laker fans disappeared. It was the die hard laker fans that stuck around with guys like Kwame Brown and Smush Parker on the team. As terrible as they were we still stuck around with our Lakers.
Now that the Lakers are champions yet again, those same “fair weather” fans are back! And anytime things go wrong during the regular season, they are there to boo and heckle the Lakers.
A message to you annoying, fake, “fair weather” Laker fans out there. Dr. Buss wants you around for one reason only…Ticket Sales! The rest of us real Laker fans can do without you. We support our team, even when they lose. Just like every other fan we do get frustrated with our team from time to time. But we don’t boo! We support!
As for the Lakers. They have lost 2 games in a row. They are still without their second best player Pau Gasol who is out with a hamstring injury. Kobe Bryant now has a groin injury which has limited his play the past 2 games. Ron Artest is doing pretty well but is still trying to fit in with the team. And the Western Conference is tough as ever.
It’s going to be a grind this year for the Lakers to repeat as champions. That “grind” will be fun for us Laker fans. It’s not going to be as glamorous as the fake Laker fans want it to be. But rest assured, these Lakers WILL get the job done!
