Ariza doing his best “WHAT, WHAT!!!” during a rebound

The NBA champion Lakers were coming off a 105-79 drubbing at Denver two nights earlier only to have another team they vanquished in last season’s title run show them up at home, where they got booed

Really guys?  You call yourselves fans?  Look, I can understand my New York contingent giving the Knickerbockers some serious boo action.  Afterall James Dolan is the son of the devil and the Knicks have been bad since, well,  Patrick Ewing has been gone.   So if you’re at the garden and you hear boos it’s expected.

But really L.A.?  I’m sure Jack Nicholson wanted to puke when he heard the forum booing during the Lakers loss to the Rockets last night.  Yeah and poor you guys.  You’re only 7-3 without your second best player.  Shut up guys. Seriously.

You can’t root for the defending champs?  You’ve won how many titles since 2000?  It always puts me in awe when fans boo their own team (with the exception of really really shitty teams).   Hell I’m a Yankees fan and this is the equivalent of A-Rod boos when he’s not hitting a HR during every at bat (yeah that guy’s a homo but he’s still really good).

I mean at least try and cheer them into playing well.   Boo on Lakers fans.  Boooo!
