The Lakers have 28 nationally televised games this year...

[russwest0]

It's like the boy Stern said, the ideal Finals matchup would be Lakers vs Lakers

[Levity]

why are the haters so upset?

at least this way, you can actually watch the games before you come on here to criticize and troll, rather than just looking at the box score and coming on here to blindly troll.

[bagelred]

Do we really need to explain why Lakers are on TV so much? You have one of the most amazing talents in the history of the league ready to play and people want to see him. It's that simple.




Talking about Jeremy Lin, of course....

[inclinerator]

time for mr lin to shine

Another thread where retards don't understand that the Lakers = HUGE ratings.

[chazzy]

Or because Laker fans are a bunch of fair weather bandwagoners who refuse to watch their team unless their all time leading chucker is on the floor. What an embarrassing fanbase.

And your fanbase is...?

They're just jealous because even in our down years with an over the hill Kobe we're still a box office draw.

[BlkMambaGOAT]

Why are Bran stans mad? All they watch is the boxscore.

[kennethgriffin]

does OP know that its about popularity. and not actual level of play. its a business and the lakers/kobe are 2 of the absolute biggest brands in the entire universe.

and they just added jeremy lin for god sakes. a chinese player whos actually talented playing on LOS ANGELES... this will be even more crazy than when he played on the knicks.


if anything the lakers should have more. like around 40

[Optimus Prime]

Haters so mad. I thought the Lakers were irrelevant? That Kobe was done and nobody cared about them any more?

Rent free

[JellyBean]

Think about that for a second. Not one, not two, but TWENTY-EIGHT nationally televised games that will be boring ass blowouts. Who on earth really wants to watch this terrible team get beat when those timeslots could have been used on much more competitive matchups?

Yeah. Like my Timberwolves!! But don't hate on the Lakers because they are still the "Big Ticket"!!

[wakencdukest]

And your fanbase is...?

Some shitty team probably.

[AnaheimLakers24]

stay butthurt fgts

lakers run this bitch

Uh... the Lakers will get blown out in less than 5 of those games (barring another major injury).

[UK2K]

J Lin on National TV!

(Would rather have the Warriors get 28 games though)

Lin will be the western conference starting AllStar PG.

How embarrassing. We had this discussion last season when we thought Lin would make the ASG as a 6th man, and how awkward that must make him feel making it over much more deserving players.
