It didn’t take long for Lakers fans to respond, and to do so with absolutely no class. In the 18 months of redsarmy.com’s existance, I cannot remember such a crude and disgusting influx of comments in our forums. I apologize to all Celtics fans forced to read the expletive, bigoted statements. We all know Lakers fans are the least knowledgeable (big word for them) of all fans, and I am talking about every sport. How they can still support their dirtabg superstar is beyond me. Nevermind the fact that Kobe is responsible for the team’s disintegration. I’ve wasted enough time on those degenerates. Let’s move on to news about the Celtics, a team with legitimate championship dreams.
Ainge raves about Pollard, backs off Mutombo | Jackie MacMullen talks with Rajon Rondo | Celtics talk on HoopsHype | McHale defends trade | Nets after Jermaine O’Neal | Elton Brand under the knife
First, as a Laker fan, let me apologize for some of the comments that have been posted by a few morons. They are embarrasing and uncalled for. With that said let me congratulate the Celtics for landing Garnett. I have been wondering exactly when Celtic fans would stop living on past glory and retired numbers. Believe me, Nov 23rd and Dec. 30th are circled on the calender. I’m sure Kobe is about to put up 60 on you guys.
What? A coherent Lakers Fan?
Kobe can drop 60 if he wants…. it’ll be in a 20 point loss
Don’t worry about them, thats what happens when the 2 year olds don’t get what they want, THEY THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM. Spoiled Brats! They think they are God’s team and put on this earth to win. WRONG!
This is hard to say but I actually hate them more then the Yankees now!
Oh, also Jim, you notice they are over there looking for donations for what?? Its not hard to run a blog for free. I would like to Personally thank you for not being a GREEDY bastard like them over there. Keep Up the great WORK!
Don’t blame the Lakers fans. It’s not their fault. It’s just that when you have a superstar that is a huge cry baby, it will rub off on the fans. Kobe is a pathetic, whining, loser, and unfortunately that’s what we are going to have to deal with from Laker fans.
The Celtics, a team with legitimate championship dreams? Only in the East can a fan say that. Even Bobcat fans are saying that, after who made the NBA Finals representing your conference. If it wasn’t for the Red Sox in 2004 (which was great watching btw, because I HATE the yanks), the fans in boston wouldn’t remember what winning was. You would have to go back to the 80′s to remember the last time you reached a game that resembled some value to a major sport. The reaction of the other Laker Fans is very immature and i agree with Havasu when he apologized for the rude comment. The way they said it was wrong, but the true meaning, i stand behind. This season cannot start quick enough. Let’s see if KG “loves” Boston when you are 21-21 tied with the Sixers for 2nd place in the East. See you in November.
Yea your right Brandon, us Boston fans wouldn’t know what winning was all about if it wasn’t for our beloved 2004 Red Sox! How about The 3 time Superbowl champs Patriots.. Who so you have to root for… the LA Sparks.. USC… or LA Galaxy… All I’m saying is if your going to make a valid argument Get your facts straight! Once again I cannot stress the boston fan base superiour sports knowledge over the Laker fans!
Good Point. Forgot about the Pats. So hard to remember football since we don’t have a team over here. And the pats will probably win again this year with Moss!
It’s amusing how Lakers fans are making fun of our roster depth when they don’t have any1 besides Kobe and Odom who can actually get their own open looks at the basket.
Lets be fair… I’m sure Derek Fisher is going to make a huge difference for the Lakers.
HEY LAKER FANS IM UPSET BY THE WAY YOU GUYS REACTED TO THIS WHOLE BRING IT ON SITUATION. COME ON GROW UP HAVE SOME FUN AND LETS BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD CLEAN RIVALRY THAT WAY BASKETBALL CAN BE REBORN AGAIN. LAST YEAR THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES HAD THE LOWEST RATINGS NOW LETS GO BACK TO WHEN CELTiCS AND LAKERS PLAYED IN THE 80′S WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATINGS. MOST OF YOU LAKER FANS THAT LEFT THOSE IGNORANT COMMENTS ARE GROWN MEN WITH NO LIVES WHAT SO EVER TO LEAVE COMMENTS LIKE THAT AND APPARENTLY MEN WITH NO EDUCATION BECAUSE THE IGNORANT ONES CANNOT SPELL.
LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAKERS ROSTER
KWAME BROWN-ONE OF THE BIGGEST NUMBER OVERALL BUST’S EVER
KOBE BRYANT-ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER TO BE BLAMED FOR HIS TEAMS DOWN FALL
ANDREW BRYNUM- SUITABLE TO BE A BACK UPS BACK UP BUT HE STARTS FOR LAKERS
BRIAN COOK- THE BLACK VERSION OF RAEF LAFRENTZ
JAVARIS CRITTENTON- UNKNOWN ROOKIE
MAURICE EVANS- NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT HIM
JORDAN FARMAR- JUST ANOTHER PLAYER THAT CANT DO NOTHING WITH KOBE ON THE TEAM
DEREK FISHER- POSSIBLY THE SECOND BEST PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM
MARC GASOL- I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR HIM
COBY KARL- I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THAT IS
Aaron McKie- HAS NOT BEEN LEGIT SINCE PLAYING WITH PHILLY
CHRIS MIHM- JUST A WASTE OF SPACE WE FIGURED THAT A LONG TIME AGO
LAMAR ODOM- LOSING HIS TALENT SLOWLY…STRANGE THAT HAPPENED WHEN HE LEFT MIAMI FOR THE INFAMOUS LAKERS…YA RIGHT
VLADIMIR RADMANOVIC- ANOTHER PLAYER THAT WAS GOOD ON ONE TEAM AND FELL OFF WHEN HE WENT TO LAKERS
RONNY TURIAF- DONT KNOW WHY YOU GUYS HAVE HIM
SASHA VUJACIC- BLAH
LUKE WALTON- NEVER WILL BE LIKE HIS DADDY WHO UHHH PLAYED FOR BOSTON YA YOU GUYS CAN HAVE THE DADDYS BOY
SHAMMOND WILLIAMS- WE GOT RID OF HIM AND SO SHOULD YOU GUYS
SUE YUE- NOTHING TO SAY
BY THE LOOKS OF IT LAKERS HAS ONE LEGIT PLAYER FOR EVERY NIGHT WHICH IS OF COURSE KOBE BRYANT. DEREK FISHER WILL HAVE HIS DAYS AND LAMAR ODOM WILL FALL OFF AGAIN THIS SEASON UNLESS HE HAS A REASON TO GIVE IT ALL FOR LAKERS TO WIN.
NOW LAKER FANS LETS HAVE A GOOD CLEAN BATTLE AND DONT BE IGNORANT WITH ALL THESE VULGAR WORDS. IM ONLY 18 IM THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE LIKE THAT INSTEAD IM NOT AND YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY WHAT 26 AND OLDER (JUST A WILD GUESS). SO YOU GUYS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND WE WILL BE WAITING IN NOVEMBER AND OH YEAH THE LAKERS DO NOT HAVE JERMAINE ONEAL SO PLEASE STOP BRINGING HIM UP AS A POSSIBILITY OF YOUR OWN BIG THREE SO PLEASE DONT BRING HIM UP TILL YOU GUYS ARE FOR SURE YOU WILL GET HIM OK.
HAVE A NICE DAY
Fair enough. Good comparison to Raef LaFrentz. I can’t stand Brian Cook, yet somehow he runs a basketball camp.
We can go through the Celtics roster, but they are all on the Timberwolves. We all know that PP, Allen and KG are great. Well, PP and KG are, Allen is a good shooter with terrible defense. Aside from that, there is really nothing else. You got 2 2nd round draft picks, Glen Davis and Gabe Pruitt (Who is from So Cal), Brian Scalabrine (a very poor mans Luke Walton), Rondo (who can pass and run, but cant shoot), Scot Pollard (……) and Eddie House (who is a great addition). Let’s not forget Kendrick Perkins…In order to win, you need a bench. The celts do have that. The lakers have a very deep bench. All the players can contribute in one way or another. Cook and come off the bench and shoot. Farmar can come off and run the PG, Bynum and Brown are offense and defense. The Lakers are a better team than what people think. This will prove itself true when the playoffs come around and the Lakers have 50+ wins, in the Western conference. thats like getting 70′s wins in the East.
Brandon, you keep putting down the Celtics and trying to say the Lakers are better but ever one knows they are not. Face the Facts, If you got KG you would be the better team but your not.
Fisher=Rando
Kobe>Allen
Pierce>Walton
KG>Odom
Perk=Bynum
Scals>Cook
House>Farmar
Big Baby>Crittenton
Rest of C’s bench>Rest of Laker’s Bench
Face it, the Lakers are not the better team anymore.
HEY BRANDON
YOU ARE PROBABLY THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE LAKER FAN OUT THERE BUT YOU ARE WAY AHEAD OF YOUR SELF BY SAYING LAKERS WILL WING 50 + GAMES. YOU GUYS HAD PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ROSTER AS LAST SEASON AND THAT DID NOT HAPPEN THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS YEAR IS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DEREK FISHER AGAIN WHICH WAS A GOOD ADDITION. YOU ARE RIGHT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE NO BENCH BUT REMEMBER WHAT DANNY AINGE SAID “WE ARE NOT DONE WE STILL HAVE MORE MOVES TO COME” BY HIM SAYING THAT HE MEANS WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO TO HAVE A STRONGER BENCH. SIR WITH RONDO WE DONT NEED HIM TO SHOOT ALL WE NEED HIM TO DO IS TO PASS THE BALL TO THE BIG THREE AND DEFEND WE ALSO HAVE TONY ALLEN WHICH IS A GREAT DEFENDER AND A LEGIT SCORER AND EDDIE HOUSE WILL BE A SOME SORTS OF HELP. I TOO UNDERSTAND WE NEED MORE HELP IN THE BENCH BUT WE DONT NEED TOO MUCH WITH THE BIG THREE POSSIBLY GOING TO AVERAGE 60+ POINTS A GAME ALONE WE JUST NEED THE BENCH TO PLAY DEFENSE AND MAKE SMART DECISIONS OK. GOOD LUCK WITH THE LAKERS WINNING 50+ GAMES BECAUSE THAT WONT HAPPEN JUST BECAUSE YOU GUYS PICKED UP DEREK FISHER ONCE AGAIN. IT MIGHT HAPPEN WITH THE ADDITION WITH JERMAINE ONEAL BUT THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET AND YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE CELTICS AND WORRY ABOUT THE LAKERS POSSIBLY TRADING KOBE FOR THAT MATTER. KOBE MAY POSSIBLY BE GOING TO CHICAGO AND IF SO OUR LEASTERN CONFERENCE WILL GET WEAKER. ( YA RIGHT ). IF THAT TRADE HAPPENS YOU GUYS WILL DO OK WITH DENG BUT SERIOUSLY YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE LAKERS FRONT OFFICE IS DOING NOW.
Fact is that you got KG and aren’t better than the lakers. Bynum is not our starting center. Mihm will be. Say what you want about him, but he is a solid 10-8 guy, when he is not in foul trouble (which seems to be always). The Lakers have a deep bench. The players you listed for the Celtics are it. The lakers have those players, plus Mo Evans, Valde Radmanovic, Ronny Turiaf (instant energy!), and Kwame Brown (though he stinks, plays solid D on bigs). The Lakers are still the better team. Dont get me wrong, The Celts are very much improved. You guys don’t stink anymore. But the lakers have the edge, simply because of Kobe Bryant, the games best player.
I gotta say… when your first argument for how good you are starts with Chris Mihm…. you’ve got pretty big problems.
I guess you have a point about Mihm. Don’t think the Celtics problems are gone with KG. You still have Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers running this team. That’s 10 times worse than any problem i would want. I would rather have Mihm as my starting center, than Ainge as my GM and Rivers as my coach.
I won’t argue the Doc versus Phil thing.
But I know one GM in this conversation got Kevin Garnett… and another one didn’t.
You really want to go to battle with Mitch Kupchak?
I havnt really looked, but just hearing what some of the laker fans have said is ridiculous and uncalled for. This coming from a lakers fan. But, when you say what you did in this post, things like they are the least knowledgeable, what do you expect? Its human nature to fight back when you are insulted.
Brandon, you keep putting down the Celtics and trying to say the Lakers are better but ever one knows they are not. Face the Facts, If you got KG you would be the better team but your not.
Fisher>Rondo we all know this
Kobe>Allen
Pierce>Walton
KG>Odom
Perk=Bynum
Scals=Cook come on they both suck, you cant say one is better than the other
House<Farmar House had one good year of his career, ironic it was with the suns where everyone does good?
Big BabyRest of Laker’s Bench
Not sure what you’re talking about here, the celtics have no other bench. They have like 8 players.
Face it, the Lakers are not the better team anymore.
I won’t argue the Doc versus Phil thing.
But I know one GM in this conversation got Kevin Garnett… and another one didn’t.
You really want to go to battle with Mitch Kupchak?
LOL come on no laker fan wants to argue who has the better gm.
I gotta say… when your first argument for how good you are starts with Chris Mihm…. you’ve got pretty big problems.
lets not forget who has the 3 man roster. Who’s your starting center? Perkins? lol i’ll take mihm over him.
“You really want to go to battle with Mitch Kupchak?”
Lakers fans, don’t touch this with a 10 foot stick. Its a losing battle. Celtics fans got us there.
You may have got us with Mitch Kupchak, but if it wasn’t for Kevin McHale loyalty to the Celtics, KG would not be in a Celts uni. Ainge is just as incompetent as Kupchak. By no means am i defending Mitch here, i personally can’t stand the guy, but having ainge is no solid backbone either. I wouldn’t want either one.
Right… Kevin McHale gave KG to the Celtics because he used to play for us. That makes sense. He’s fighting for his job… and he’s going tell every other NBA owner out there “hey, I know you maybe consider me to run your team someday… just know that I’m always going to screw you guys and give the C’s a great trade.”
That makes no sense.
No… Ainge is no superstar at GM… but he’s better than Mitch. Mitch hasn’t exactly built the Lakers into anything but a team that gets worse every year.
stick and stones may break my bones but words WONT hurt me!!.
You can call us anything you want. But the one thing is that will always haunt you fools even if you guys get to the top of the eastern conf. is that YOU guys chanted for KOBE a LAKER MVP in YOURE own Building. When KG pierce and Allen retire in a couple of years you guys will go back to being crap and you will be the 2 year old kids who will lose a tantrum when you have to wait another 50 years for a team like this. Enjoy it while you can because in around 3 or 4 years it will be YOU guys who will be laughed at not us.
Yeah, its pretty embarrasing when your own fans yell MVP at our captain. But good luck with your three stars but wait…oh yeah, thats all you got. They average sixty points. kobe can outscore all of them.
Its pretty embarassing when there are 100 Laker fans on the Celtics blog. They must be here for something? If they think they are a better team why do they have to come and argue? What is there to defend? I haven’t seen 1 celtic fan on GetGarnett.com but yet RedsArmy is FLOODED with Laker fans.
Laker fans have something to worry about or else they wouldn’t be here!
Get lost Tim and All of you, especially the idiot who wrote this article. Why the hell do you diss kobe now but when he schooled youre hinds IN boston, You chanted MVP. Stop being Hyprocritic, fools.
OH here’s a little treat for you
PS. I aint pissed that we didnt get KG. If we get JO, ill be just as happy
That is because your city is full a bunch of faggots and pussys. you dont have the balls to come to Los Angeles. wait till the lakers come to boston. MVP again?
Hey Nick watch in a coule of years, when all youre stars retire, or are really old. YOU guys will be more crappy than last year. And I will be laughing like hell when you guys lose 50-60 games.
Mark my words you fools will SUCK in about 5years[at most]

Anthony lay off the sugar & Steroids. I honestly can’t figure out if you guys are grown men on drugs or kids on a sugar rush… my guess both!
Kobeisking, Honestly who says “sticks and stone may break my bones”. Are you kidding me whats next I’m rubber your glue… Give me a break! Please wait till you’ve lost your virginity to comment… & don’t follow in Kobes foot steps if you know what I mean!
just wait
Yes… I wrote a post on GetGarnett… thanking its creators for trying to introduce some civility this discussion. Apparnetly, the message didn’t get through since Anthony is running through his expansive vocabulary.
I especially like the “you don’t have the balls to come to LA” part. That’s a good one. What are you… 12 years old?
hey green 4 life why dont you get a life. I cant wait to see you cry when youre celtics get owned by the pistons or bulls who have REAL defencive talent. Yeah Our team sucks right now other than kobe, but i have a good feeling that we have a good future ahead of us. And Green 4 life, please go get a life fool
First… ITs Defensive not defencive.. Once again showing your youth! So your telling me because you have a good feeling for the future… I’m not supposed to sleep at night! Sure thing Buddy! I actually feel bad for brandon… He actually has to put up with you guys for a whole season!
So much for cleaning up the rhetoric. GetGarnett can’t be held responsible for some of the idiots (Anthony) that are posting their garbage here. Anyways, it has been YEARS since I have been excited to see a Laker-Celtic game. The only reason I watched any Celtic game at all over the past few years is to see if I had earned a “Tommy Point.” This is exactly what Laker fans have needed after a difficult summer: A reason to get fired up for our team again. Thank you Celtic fans, you should have let a sleeping dog lie.
Are you kidding me? I’ve been trying to kick this dog awake for years. The NBA NEEEEEEEEEEEEDS the Celtics-Lakers rivalry.
Although with the Celtics about to win so many of these upcoming games… it won’t be much of a rivalry.
Totally agree redsarmy. The NBA needs this rivalry back up and running. This will be the best thing for the NBA, especially with all the ref nonsense. Its a never ending war between the Lakers and the Celtics (and their fans). Hopefully this can turn into what it was in the 80′s.

=============================================
So its 1 Celtic on GetGarnett and its 100 Lakers on RedsArmy
I may not be the best math student but that is a 100 to 1 ratio and that is a very BIG difference.
P.S. KOBEISKING, DON’T RESPOND TO YOUR OWN POSTS, IDIOT!
Oh and like I said earlier, Jim, you notice they are over there at GetGarnett looking for donations. For what, WHO KNOWS?? Its not hard to run a blog for free. I would like to Personally thank you for not being a GREEDY bastard like them over there. Keep Up the great WORK!
There go our plans to add a donation button.
LAKER FANS CHECK OUT THIS ARTICLE:
YOU AIN’T GETTING JERMAINE O’NEAL EITHER!
Yea i read that article yesterday. Look like Jermaine and Kobe have the same mind, because they can’t seem to choose what they want. I think the Lakers WILL get JO, simply because he wants to be here in LA. Things will work out. The Pacers are not going to trade JO to the same conference. Just like the TWolves didnt trade KG to the West and Iverson and Shaq. Just wont happen.
We Laker fans are here to defend our team and defend Kobe. Gotta show our support and love for our team and the best player on the planet.
Oh man… wouldn’t that be a riot.
No KG. No O’Neal.
Seriously… they better hope Bynum becomes a God
“Oh and like I said earlier, Jim, you notice they are over there at GetGarnett looking for donations. For what, WHO KNOWS?? Its not hard to run a blog for free. I would like to Personally thank you for not being a GREEDY bastard like them over there. Keep Up the great WORK!”
We needed to upgrade our host because GoDaddy pretty much kicked us off after we killed our server with traffic. People offered to help us pay for it so we put up a donate button.
Right!!

Actually, some things do cost money. Like the shoutbox, which is the whole reason the donation thing was set up so they could pay for the extra space and have the shoutbox.
To be fair… RedsArmy.com isn’t free either. Granted, we only pay $10 a month.
The WordPress portion of the site is free… but the rest costs money. For those of you just looking at the redsarmy.wordpress.com…. there are MANY more features if you go to our main site: http://www.redsarmy.com
NO NEED TO BAG KOBE LIKE THAT MAN…THATS UNCALLED FOR.

Yeah, I definitely understand that.
We did have users that really wanted to help us pay for the larger server as soon as our site stopped working due to traffic. We gave them the option to donate via paypal if they wanted to. Since then we’ve crashed our new server once.
Doesn’t make us greedy. We’ve haven’t made profit off GetGarnett.com. Any money that comes in goes directly back into GetGarnett.com.
I can explain the Kobe – MVP chant at the Garden that night. Several hundred rapists were allowed a one-night supervised parole, and then all wanted to go watch their hero. Seriously, for every 1 intelligent Laker fan, there are 5 morons. I can’t believe some of you know how to log onto a computer.
com-pu-ter?
Once again, I already posted this in the bring it on post, but anyways, I deeply apologize for the immature and childish statements. There’s really no need for that kind of reaction. But anyways I respect the mentality of your fo, and wish ours would follow suit. Our fo is kinda half rebuilding half trying to win now and it’s making me mad. Hopefully we are able to make some moves and the greatest rivalry in sports will be reborn. Good day. :)
no matter who you guys add to your roster, you guys will still be garbage. we will own you guys period. pierce is way past his prime, ray allen will most likely get injured, and kg will be left alone just like in minnie. reggie miller? haha…y dont u guys go after charles oakley too? maybe even mchale and bird while your at it??
Celtics fans should never talk about class. They are some of the worst fans in the NBA these days.
The Laker fans have a right to an opinion and I am speaking as a Celtic fan.
With some of the stuff I have read about ex Celtics players by some of the so called Celtics fans commenting in this thread it is hyposcritical of any of you to whine about respect
Yeah, I TOTALLY believe your a Celtics fan…………………..NOT!
Celtics>lakers BY FAR
