		<description><![CDATA[Easy Pablo. No need to blow a gasket. 

I think your post last week about Lakerluver about summed it up. No need to engage in a battle of wits with someone with no brain. Just sit back and enjoy the train wreck of team Viagra. Strike that, the Lakers can just play their starting 5 all year for 48 minutes a game. Given they have such a deep and qualified bench mob what&#039;s the point in the other teams showing up. (Oh yeah, jordan hill has a herniated disk, guess its contagious) I think they may just get other teams to forfeit before the game starts as they are &quot; the best on paper&quot;. That&#039;s why it&#039;s called paper, it folds up and is easily thrown away. Bring it on Meatballs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ohsoblessed, have you ever heard the saying if the high heel pump fits, wear it?

Look, lakerluver does the SAME EXACT THING that he is crying about!

Anyone who doesn&#039;t agree with his idiotic postings, he calls names or tells them they are stupid. Now that he has some people calling him out, he has issues and can&#039;t handle it. He&#039;s a hypocrite, a baby and not very smart.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, hes just another poster that detests lakerluver. He acts like a teenage girl about the Lakers.

Honestly, I have a question. How can you other Lakers fans defend this pos lakerluver? Honestly, he has zero redeeming qualities. He makes your fanbase look bad, he&#039;s a know nothing. Why defend him? I don&#039;t get it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Howard is truly intelligent he will defer to Kobe as the team&#039;s ultimate leader and listen to Kobe&#039;s advice on how to improve his game.  I hope Kobe does push Dwight everyday to become the greatest center ever and I hope Howard is smart and hungry enough to do the extra mile with his winning smile to win as many rings as possible.  Dwight now has to prove that he is worthy of being another great Laker center, and if he listens to Kobe he certainly will be.

Go Kobe!!! Go Dwight!!! Go Lakers!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another homophobic, self-hating poster. What a sad world we live in where we can&#039;t just debate sports without getting personal. I learned a long time ago all the &quot;tough&quot; guys are on online sites. I&#039;m being facetious. Anyway, all one has to do is listen to Dwight speak. If you think he&#039;s going anywhere else but L.A. after this season it&#039;s only wishful thinking on your part. The beautiful thing is in 2-3 years when Nash, Artest, Jamison, Pau and Kobe&#039;s numbers come off the books the LAKERS will be in excellent position to add another elite free agent or two to a team that has a 28 or 29 yr old D12 in his prime. So, hate on, haters. The LAKERS are the best franchise in the NBA by far and arguably the best in all of sports. Thus, I&#039;m a LAKERLUVER FOR LIFE!!!!! Have it, losers.]]></description>

Pressure only motivates and improves hustle plays like rebounding, defense and dunking the ball.

I think he&#039;ll be just fine with the pressure.]]></description>
