Green Envy: What Lakers fans said - 2/22
One tiny technicality exists for tonight's Green Envy -- we lost. Regardless, Lakers fans appear to be more concerned with a mission to "tank" than a rivalry with the Celtics. Actual trash talking at Boston was limited and pretty weak -- an LA fan's "Celtics offense is terrible" post almost sounded like disappointment in the middle of cheering for a Lakers' loss. Even in the playmaking department, Marcus Smart's notable pass to Gerald Wallace drew some sincerely sad and less than competitive commentary. Their bitterness zeroed-in on a fear of winning this game. One thing is clear, tonight they were envious of defeat.
Never thought I'd be upset when the @Lakers beat the @Celtics. #Tanking #Future #NoTankYou

I am rooting for the tank not the Celtics, there is a difference

For the first time in my life, I want a tank against Boston

Marcus Smart is so averageMarcus Smart is trash
Smart would probably be better if he lost some body fat %
Full Slate
Refs are tanking too
What part of T.A.N.K does Lin not understand??
Got to tank, future looks bleak, might as well go young and develop stars
How green was my tank
Boozer's D is actually hurting this game
Tank don't lie
I.T. usually kicks our a*s, let the tank roll on, even tho its the green bastards
There is no winner to this game
How's the tank-off going...we resorting to making baskets in their hoop yet?
A battle to the bottom
Scott this is not how you tank
It's going to be hard to lose when they keep getting these calls
This better not be a pre-cursor of what's to come for the rest of the season
We can actually lose this game
Nick the tank
This will be a devastating win for us - hope the tank lineup comes through in crunch time
The crowd sounded like they were happy it went it too, everyone is in on this team tank.
OOHHH YEAAHHH TAKE IT BAWSTIN!!!
Fine. I take it back. Let me look for another excuse. It's the Celts, so tank can take a one-game break.
We don't (shouldn't) tank against Boston.
With Thomas alone, Boston should be killing us. They are obviously trying to tank....More than we are
3 Stooges as referees
Dude wanted to play on the Lakers. Now he is playing on our rivals.
Come on Boston you pansy Lephrachauns
Ugly green guys are only 2 games out of a playoff spot though.
This game would of been over with if I.T. was still in the game
