  Haha motivation d12has been waiting for.

• JB Posted: Jun.10 at 1:08 pm
  Motivation can’t provide him with any form of an offensive game outside a dunk, though.

• Jackie Moon Posted: Jun.10 at 1:11 pm
  So … Friday the 19th, then?

• Ryne Nelson Posted: Jun.10 at 1:12 pm
  Parades are huge events that must be planned early. I’m sure the Magic are doing the same.

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 1:12 pm
  This is eerily familiar to the Mavericks/Heat scenario.

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 1:12 pm
  Well, Mark cuban went on Letterman after going up 2-0 against the Heat. How’d that turn out?

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 1:13 pm
  Well, Mark cuban went on Letterman after going up 2-0 against the Heat, talking parade. How’d that turn out?

• TADOne Posted: Jun.10 at 1:14 pm
  Apparently from that first paragraph, me and Marcel have something in common.

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 1:14 pm
  i didn’t type the above. What, is this the twilight zone or what? Weird…

• wilford brimley Posted: Jun.10 at 1:19 pm
  come on this is a non-story. anyone who thinks this is motivation for the magic must assume that the magic were too stupid to realize that this is what always happens. Cities always plan parades in advance because it’s a logistical mess. I know it’s supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, but it’s just not funny anymore from a sarcastic perspective. Those who take this stuff seriously are idiots for thinking that correlation is causation.

• TADOne Posted: Jun.10 at 1:20 pm
  Since Cheryl and Eboy now both have imposters, i’m guessing i’ll be next.

• Eboy Posted: Jun.10 at 1:21 pm
  Can I just say that I was the one that posted the Mavs/Heat comment and I just noticed that Cheryl’s info was in my comment box. Ryne, get your IT people on this sh*t bro. It pretty wild.

• Ryne Nelson Posted: Jun.10 at 1:24 pm
  We are. I think Anton had an “impostor” as well, yeah?

• ciolkstar Posted: Jun.10 at 1:26 pm
  Of course they are.

• Zee! Posted: Jun.10 at 1:30 pm
  Better sooner than later…

• Jackie Moon Posted: Jun.10 at 1:42 pm
  That’s like getting mad at a team for having streamers and confetti in the rafters in case of a win.

• Jukai Posted: Jun.10 at 1:51 pm
  I also had an imposter, but the imposter’s name was ‘JukaiSux’ and he pretended to be me, so I don’t think it was a database error.

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 2:05 pm
  mystery solved.

• Cheryl Posted: Jun.10 at 2:05 pm
  ^that was me.

• Ryne Nelson Posted: Jun.10 at 2:21 pm
  Cheryl, sorry this is happening. We’re having the same trouble at the Dome if its any consolation. BET had a bad impostor during yesterday’s live blog, so you can bet (no pun intended!) we’re on it.

• truthteller Posted: Jun.10 at 2:23 pm
  Jukai,
  That’s funny ’cause I saw another imposter it said, ‘Jukai_loves_sausages’! You must be a popular guy!

• Eboy Posted: Jun.10 at 2:29 pm
  I think “Jukai Loves Sausages” would be a better screename for the real one. Do it Jukes!!!!

• chazz michael michaels Posted: Jun.10 at 2:32 pm
  lets do a 69

• chazz michael michaels Posted: Jun.10 at 2:32 pm
  lets do a 69

• Jukai_Loves_Sausages Posted: Jun.10 at 2:45 pm
  I’d never demean myself like that, Eboy, I respect myself too much

• Zoran Posted: Jun.10 at 2:54 pm
  I really, really hope Magic crush the living sh*t out of Lakers in new few games.

• The D Train Posted: Jun.10 at 3:12 pm
  I had posted a similar rant in another thread, but the post crashed and deleted. Small summation: After spending Game 2 at the sports book in MGM watching a close, hard-fought game, I’m of the opinion that Kobe is perfect for Laker fans and they are perfect for Kobe. The sense of entitlement from all of them makes me sick. Trying to watch a game and appreciate it for what it is when you have a giant casino full of dudes riding on a giant non-existent golden Kobe phallus.

• The D Train Posted: Jun.10 at 3:16 pm
  (cont from last) is quite difficult, and makes it much less enjoyable.

• RV Posted: Jun.10 at 3:53 pm
  Ryne is correct, we’re already planning our parade here in Houston for next year

• TADOne Posted: Jun.10 at 4:01 pm
  HAHAHA its time to rule Slam!!

• Franko Posted: Jun.10 at 4:09 pm
  I love ” the Karma Gods ” part. Wow… nice words. deep.

• BETCATS Posted: Jun.10 at 4:39 pm
  i already planned the Bobcats (who swept the Lakers) more lavish parade on the same days to assure the Lakers will be outshined. IF you ever seen a Rich Boy video circa 2006, it will look something like that.

• BETCATS Posted: Jun.10 at 4:41 pm
  im waiting to get Ryne’s info. That will be fun. You will all be banned.

• Marco Posted: Jun.10 at 4:50 pm
  please just don’t buy purple-gold balloons. remember 1969?

• Parabola Posted: Jun.10 at 5:36 pm
  Yet another reason to hate Laker fans. Nothing but self-entitled pompous asses imo

• Tarzan Cooper Posted: Jun.10 at 6:53 pm
  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

• Blinguo Posted: Jun.10 at 6:58 pm
  lick nutz

• MeloMan22 Posted: Jun.10 at 7:20 pm
  cosign everyone who says Kobe and Lakers fans are one in the same. GAWD i hate them

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jun.10 at 8:20 pm
  LA fans (from LA; there are some cool ones outside of LA) are always like this. What else do you expect from a bunch of Orange County, fake, spoiled, private high school going people?

• melvin ely Posted: Jun.10 at 9:08 pm
  Hey remember when Lebron started jawing at the Magic that they were all witnesses? Or when Mo thought he was such hot sh!t and began guaranteeing wins? How did all that turn out again?

• Hersey Posted: Jun.10 at 9:12 pm
  This is a non-story but I remember Bill Belichick using the Eagles’ parade info in his pregame speech before Superbowl 39. Anything you can use to fire up your players- try it. Tell them the Lakers are gonna bomb Epcot Center and eat their children as part of their celebration.

• Arek Posted: Jun.10 at 9:12 pm
  I can’t wait!!! Ima be right there representin

• Austin Posted: Jun.11 at 12:07 am
  Well only the smart people realize that this is the Lakers year. I’m already ready to celebrate when they win too.

• Austin Posted: Jun.11 at 12:10 am
  and that i remember what happened with the mavericks. that won’t happen to LA. The Lakers are way better then those mavericks were.

• Joey E. Posted: Jun.11 at 1:52 am
  lol every team does this. The WWE/Nuggets thing proved how you can’t just do things on the fly. You have to be prepared ahead of time. LA has such a huge population this stuff has to be planned ahead of time. Quit being haters. I bet the Orlando Police are doing the same. And don’t put this on the Lakers, it’s the LAPD, not the Lakers

• BBAller Posted: Jun.11 at 4:31 am
  I don’t like the lakers and hope the magic win, but is it arrogance for the LAPD to arrange the appropriate measures for a possible(probable) parade where thousands of people may attend OR is it common sense?I mean, didn’t L.A have a riot after they won back in 2000, i’m still wondering what they would of done if they lost.
  L.A in six, unfortunately

• George B Posted: Jun.11 at 5:30 am
  planning starts early. if orlando authorities are not doing the same, they will have a hard time if the magic win.

• Oli Posted: Jun.11 at 6:52 am
  i hope they hired mark madsen and his awesome dancing skills!

• flashuk Posted: Jun.11 at 8:57 am
  yeah remember how belichick fired up the pats. lets see if stan van g can motivate like that.

• wayno Posted: Jun.11 at 10:43 am
  SVG motivates by having the highest colesterol in the country…the guy constantly looks like he is going to have a heart attack.

• nate the great Posted: Jun.11 at 11:09 am
  yeah, i think the magic are waiting after a game 2 win before they start planning anything. .
  “I need to make a confession: I’m not a very big fan of Laker fans.”
  ^
  that is gold, cause neither am i.
  great post.

• niQ Posted: Jun.11 at 11:11 am
  Here’s my take. If the Lakers win the next game, it’s over. If Orlando wins the next game, this could go to game 7.

• dave in hillsboro Posted: Jun.11 at 2:39 pm
  Why would the LAPD have a contingency plan for the Magic winning? Are the Magic going to hold their parade in LA? No, so stop being so thick. During the three-peat years, Lakers fans got a little out of control after a couple of those championship victories. During the last two Finals losses (2004 and 2008), things were relatively calm. Can you blame the LAPD for wanting to be on top of what could potentially be a disastrous situation? They’re just preparing for any conceivable scenario which could affect the city–not presuming anything. You’re reading too much into this if you think otherwise. If the city of Orlando is not preparing for a potential parade, then that says more about their city’s lack of faith and lack of preparation than it says about the LAPD–who are no friends of mine, mind you. Nice non-story, by the way. How much do you get paid for this? I could use a gig like that.

  “LA fans (from LA; there are some cool ones outside of LA) are always like this. What else do you expect from a bunch of Orange County, fake, spoiled, private high school going people?” Is there something wrong with you? Because there is something wrong with your logic… LA is not in Orange County (Los Angeles County is where LA is, can you believe that?) And if you think the majority of Southern California students go to private schools, you are seriously mistaken. To call a whole city/county/whatever you were thinking fake and spoiled is a very close-minded thought. I’m not surprised, given you associate an L.A. team with Orange County. I think you’re just jealous you don’t live in Cali

• wayno Posted: Jun.12 at 10:56 am
  Co-sign Dizzle. I actually live in the O.C. but I work for EVERYTHING I’ve got. I’m not rich, spoiled, and I didn’t go to private school. And yeah, Teddy needs to at least study up on that geography before he goes disrespectin like that…what a tool. I agree, it’s jealousy.

• skywalker Posted: Jun.12 at 6:09 pm
  I would say most real laker fans aren’t rich white kids from the o.c. , most the real fans cant even afford to go to these games , it’s all us mexicans and black dudes!! watching at home or at a bar!

• rand33p Posted: Jun.15 at 10:11 pm
  rich white kids are still people !
