Lakers Fans, who was the dynastys #1 rival?

[Anaheim*Rob]

For a couple of seasons in the late 90's, I'd have to say Portland(when they had Anderson, Wells, Pippen, Wallace), then in the 00-01 season and after I'd say the Kings.

He used the word "Dynasty". I would never use that in reference to that team.

They're the closest thing to a dynasty those 5 years...

 

[Rasan]

thier biggest rivals...were themselves

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A DYNASTY TEAM THEN.

 

[Vamps]

It had to be the Kings. Even Phil Jackson was clowning the team, the city and the fans..

 

[I. Cold]

was last years playoffs enough to consider the Suns the new Lakers rival?

beat me to it,...good call

 

[SLOWPOKE]

It has to be the kings because there were more energy and hatred in those games than between the lakers and the spurs... Even though the kings never did win it was still a bigger rivalry than lakers/spurs which was pretty even .

to corect you when they was moing down everyone,..we was the only team to beat tem,....i think it was a game 3 or something,...peep the records,...and go kings,....

i don't think it's exactly a rivalry yet, but the games now will probably have some added meaning.

I'm not sure which year you're talking about but if you're talking about the one where they went 15-1 in the playoffs, they swept the kings that year and lost game one to the sixers and then won 4 straight. And by win I meant a series not a single game because I really loved the Western Conference Finals series that went to game 7 OT.

I think you need more than one year to consider teams rivals. Otherwise every team faced in the playoffs would be rivals but Lakers/Suns are getting there especially if there will continue to be some controversial games and calls.

 

[I. Cold]

true but I dont think calls have anything to do with rivalry.

 

[LaKeRzz8]

Well controversy always gets players riled up and angry at refs, opposition, etc. The more anger the more chance of words being exchanged. Who was that that Nash kept getting mad at...?

 

[I. Cold]

who that shasha guy?

 

[MAVA]

HAHAHA!!! ITS FUNNY HOW EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THE LAKERS' RIVALS...

 

[centralcoast805]

The saktown kings in my opinion .........it remminds me of the DODGERS & giants ............ Northen and Southern cali ..........U know the rivalry.......But then again spurs and lakers have had some crazy azz games VS each other

 

[LaKeRzz8]

who that shasha guy?

Yeah, there we go. Sasha Vujacic.

 

[Defy]

The all-time rival for you youngsters...is the Celtics...

thats what I thought when I first read the title.....the kings & spurs aren't even rivalries compared to celts/lakers

 

[LaKeRzz8]

^^That's obvious, but that is why he said during the Kobe/Shaq era.
