Good God, Laker fans.
Lakers stink. Andrew Bynum is overrated, Lamar Odom is bi-polar like a magnet, and Kobe is a jerk. And Pau Gasol screams like a yeti every time he puts up a shot in traffic. But you know what? That's fine. Lakers are probably going to do just fine.
What drives me batty are Laker fans. I get being passionate, and following your team closely--trust me, I have my teams that I live and die with. No, the problem with Laker fans is that they complain ALL THE TIME. If the team wins, Kobe took too many shots, or Lamar Odom didn't try hard enough in the second half. If they lose, god help us all. People walk around like their dog just got mauled by a mountain lion. (This happens in the regular season, by the way, just as often as it does in the playoffs. The complaints, not the maulings).
Laker fans seem incredulous that the team is capable of losing a game in the playoffs. But it happens. Does this mean that the Lakers will lose a best of 7 series? No. Most likely, they will still beat the Rockets--even if they lose game two. But god forbid that happen--Laker fans will cry and complain how things are so terrible.
Listen up: your franchise has had an incredible amount of success and good fortune over the past 3 decades. So if on occasion the team doesn't live up to the hype, deal with it. Try pulling for the Warriors some time, then come crying about a game 1 loss in the friggin second round.
