I just can't get behind a city, even though I was born there and grew up there, that has gone so far out of its way to encourage this invasion, and condemn a state that is helping fight our fight. I will not support Los Angeles in any way. I do not identify with that toilet or anything that comes from there.

Three years ago, if we had had what is going on now with Arizona, our members would be dancing in the streets and singing. Today is seems like just a side line.

Enjoy your enthusiasm and don't let me rain on your parade. I'll just stay focused on what is important to me.

Stop the spin and guilt mongering, it's a sport that millions enjoy, and nothing to do with "the city", it's ills or it's politics.

The Lakers are the only sport I watch, I do enjoy most of the games. The fans are the problem. A win or a loss is just an excuse for them to resort to criminal behavior.

The games are over and all I can say is , no more TV.
Its going to be a long and silent summer.

I was very disappointed that the lakers won. Since I learned that there was some kind of personal enmity against the Celtics, I really wished the lakers would have been creamed by the team they didn't like.

I saw the parade today, where were all these famous Los Angeles gang bangers and gunmen? That was an open bus that team was in. LA is full of wimps.

The intensity of that rivalry peeked in the mid 1980's when there were some real 'taste for blood' between the two teams (I'm sure long before most of the thugs were born) The current team players don't have that same disdain. The current "rivalry" is mainly the title count; the Lakers with 16 titles and Celtic's with 17. If the Lakers win another, the teams will be tied with the Celt's in title wins over the history of the NBA.

I'd say the thousands that showed up for the parade are actual fans and not the opportunist thugs that only show up at night to bash cars and start fires . . . way too much focus on those sub-humans.

The Laker team did nothing wrong. They played a full season of BB and won the title.

All the problem is/was a bunch of idiots out side the Staple Center.
I think the PD did a much better job at the parade today.
Thanks Lakers, for giving me some good games and some not so good games.
Have a happy summer.

Don't like the lakers, the city they come from or the bus they rode in on. The team is the "Los Angeles" Lakers, that's what they did wrong.
