My Trip to ARCO in Pictures: From the Mind of a Lakers Fan

PrintLet the rivalr-
Nope, sorry. We weren't playing the Boston Celtics. We were the playing the Sacramento Kings. A young team that has a future no doubt, four or five years from now.
Let's be honest though, as much as the Kings faithful were confident in the upset and the "we will show the League who the Kings are," the Lakers had this one in the bag before it started.
Usually, players will warm up and then take about one or two minutes to sign stuff for the fans. Not this time. Aside from Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol acknowledging the fans with a smile or quick wave, all the Lakers fans were left to take pictures.
And let me tell you, did I ever. (Crappy camera, just FYI)
There were lots of Laker fans in attendance. I would say there were a good 30-35% pro-Lakers crowd. The way the Kings hype-crew riled up the crowd was nice. It gave the arena a playoff type atmosphere, especially in the first half. Definite buzz in the crowd. A few cowbells were also heard, and I have to give props to this guy who wouldn't stop using the bell all game long.
Anyways, here are some pictures of the Lakers warming up.
Odom stretching out. I was about five feet away from the court, so my pics are nice. (U mad?)
Luke Walton was getting some shots up, and he looked like he was going to play. Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes also out. Matt Barnes is taller than I thought, and he's very lanky too. The Great One, Brian Shaw was also getting some shots up. I am proud and honored to say, I've witnessed Brian Shaw shoot in person. He was still making threes and some funny fans behind me were screaming "Suit up Shaw, you still got another year!!" Classic.
As previously mentioned, Mr. Intangibles was there. His play in the 4th Quarter sealed the game for the Lakers. As soon as he hit that layup and was fouled, all the Kings fans started to leave. I wondered why they were leaving early, and even asked. I tried to get the chant going, but alas, there were no Arsenal supporters to help.
Here are some pictures of Pau warming up and stretching out. The Lakers that did not come out were Kobe, Ron, Stevie B, Shannon,Sasha, Ebanks and Caracter. I don't know why the last four weren't out there.
At this point, we were told to return to our seats. Luke Walton was the last player on the court and I stayed to take a few pics of him. I really thought he was going to play.

looks like you had a blast
how early do you have to get there to be able to take pictures from courtside?
I was there at 5:45pm
Doors didn’t open till 6:30 so I rushed to the lower levels. I ended up getting a sweet spot.

I wonder if some of us in Cali could manage a group ticket package in our areas (Sacto, Bay Area or L.A.) when the Lakers are in town. Fat chance probably, but it would be fun to meet up as SS&R faithful and cheer our team on.
So did the guys from Sactown Royalty find you at Arco and give you a swirly? If not, I owe someone here at SS&R $5.

For sheez
I was the obnoxious dude yellin MVP and You Can’t Beat the Lakers. Had a Magic jersey and Lakers beanie while the lady had a Farmar jersey.
Jealous.
I have no tix (so far) to any Laker games this year. I usually go to the 2 games in SLC, but I havent purchased them yet.
I do have an awesome oppurtunity though. My best friend, who still lives in So Cal, has Clipper season tickets. And they are really good seats. I hooked him up with the seats cuz I went to high school with someone that now works for the Clippers. So he offered his other ticket to me when the Clips play the Lakers. I just have to get down to So Cal. Im talking to the wife and trying to butter her up so I can get the ok to purchase the flight.
I mean, Im going to the So You Think You Can Dance Tour with her tonight, for petes sake. Isnt that enough to be able to go to a Laker game?

I didn't need to start it.
You could hear it all night.
I was giving MVP chants to Fisher when he was shooting after the layup and1.
Me and this guy behind me were chanting and the Kings fan that sat next to me said:
“You do realized that’s not Kobe. That’s Fisher. He sucks”
I looked at him and said, “Bro, you don’t even know. Intangibles.”

At my house it was all about Kareem. He was to be revered at my house. Magic, too, to a certain extent, but my dad played C, so that’s obviously the type of player he was drawn to. Hell, I can even vaguely remember Kareem’s last game. Obviously, it was quite a while ago, I think I was like 14, but I remember it as such a sad time for my dad.

But would he have been able to realize that here? Probably not. Just one of those situations. I like where we’ve ended up. Worked out both ways. He’s better off because of it.

True, but one would think that he would have got burn
With our horrible PG situation last year. He really fits the triangle point guard profile in practically every aspect imaginable.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Only two levels?
That’s pretty nice. There doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the building. Places like those make it worth it.
Follow me on Twitter: @wondahbap
It's not a bad building
But for some reason, the Magoofs want to build another arena. The seats aren’t bad, but their fans are ignorant.
Some dude was trying to tell me the Lakers are the best team you can buy with money. I had to set this fool straight:
Jerry Buss is the greatest owner in Sports Franchise history. He brings money, jobs, multiple championships, and one of the world’s greatest franchises to Los Angeles. About 15 years ago, he even bought the Lakers a new arena to play in with his own money.
Let’s see what your owner did. Oh yes, the Maloofs. They asked for the City of Sacramento to forgive the $50+ million they owe in debt on Arco Arena and to have the City build the Kings a new arena. When they couldn’t get their way, they threatened to take the Kings to another city. When the entire population of the City knew their threats were empty, they sponsored a measure to increase taxes to build a new arena and pay off the debt on Arco. The City of Sacramento said hell no, and the measure was defeated by an overwhelming margin.
Here’s the difference, Jerry Buss gives the Lakers a championship team, improves Los Angeles, and supports his fans. The Maloofs have habitually thrown their fans under the bus rather than spending a single cent to improve Sacramento and the Kings.
Ignorant fucking Queens fans…
the Maloofs should just invite "the Terminator" and the Kennedy's to sit courtside
everygame……that’ll draw a crown!

As a resident of Sacramento
I reserve the right to call them the queens. Next time you get threatened by the Sacramento Kings to bankrupt your city and have them raise taxes to pay for a new arena and debt on the old one on your dime, then maybe you will understand.
Then again, some people are more tolerant of AIG and Enrons of the world. Guess I’m just not one of them. [/rant]
Interesting response
Not quite sure you got the point. I mean go nuts and say the Queens if you want but not sure if you are offending your target audience as much as you think.
Also kind of funny you would go out and call Kings fans ignorant while at the same time those fans overwhelming rejected a bill that you in fact seem to agree with rejecting.
I predict JT will never breathe through his nose.
As a member of SS&R, you will refer to them as the Kings on this site.
Not sure how AIG and Enron are relevant to this discussion, so we won’t get into it. You can express your feelings all you want, but we do have rules here, as you well know.

Your point wasn't a very good one
I have a very hard time believing Staples had no public funding allocated to it.

I wish to express in a serious way how totally freakin awesome, your post is….but I am not really a serious guy so this will have to do…LOL On a side note, I realize he was trying to denigrate, (been trying to use that word all day) the Kings but what he really did was insult a lot of queens when he equated the Kings with them…
I am not cool enough to think of a cool saying to have for a signature
Awesome pics. Remember when the Lakers and Kings used to be a “rivalry”. Well, they thought they were rivals with the Lakers. Every team that has a good playoff series with the Lakers always thinks that suddenly they are rivals. The fact remains the Lakers only have one real rival and thats the Boston Celtics.
