Lakers @ Cavaliers

A word before the game
This could quite possibly be our last post of the year. We don't want to sound like we love ourselves a lot, but we kind of do so we're going on vacay. Don't worry, we'll still be watching and either cheering for or asking wtf?
We also want to take a moment to be sad for Alonzo Mourning - we're not being sarcastic in this sentence. Now the Heat are going to have to depend on... um, er, we got nothin.
The boys in the TNT studio elfed themselves... we've been doing this all winter long. Please try it, it's frighteningly entertaining. Dance with Kobe.


Tip Off
Kobe Bryant of course, Derek Fisher naturally, Andrew Bynum as expected, LO and Luke! No drinking for us tonight but if you're drinking... turn it up!


1st Quarter
11:43 A foul for KB already? Hmmmmm...

9:13 Senseless foul. Thanks Luke.

8:11 Are we really gonna let them dominate?

6:54 We can't have Kobe missing free throws tonight, just putting that out there.

Because of some fighter jets flying overhead for the past 20 minutes we haven't been able to actually hear the television but imagine our disgust when the air show is over and the announcers are still talking about Kobe vs. LeBron - there are a few other people there ya know.

2:48 Maaaaaaaan you can't stop Kobe. We thought you knew.

1:22 They have cooler in house music than we do. That's not fair!

28 We'll take even.


2nd Quarter
Remember that time we didn't keep our mouth guard tucked into the back of our sweatbands on our heads LeBron?

10:25 Our first "insert players name" to Drew!

We're ashamed to admit we're a little jealous of the Cavs' #17's hair.

3:26 We got distracted trying to find who sings a particular song and somehow ended up on "I got it from my mama". We're sure some basketball has been going on this whole time.

3:06 Luke! It's so nice to see him making baskets these days, even if he does need to fall on the ground right before.

Where awkward moments between teammates getting national airtime happens. (Snow)

1:20 NOT!

32.8 Is Andrew getting emotional? Let's not go down that road again please.

Walton - the go to inbounder - footballs it across the court. Makes absolutely no difference whatsoever we just like talking about football while watching basketball.

Scores somewhere in the 50's for both teams but Lakers are winning and that's the part that counts eh?


Half Time
Is it just us or does Lamar's face look fake? Like he's wearing stage makeup and a wig to look like he's bald.


3rd Quarter
9:54 Luke don't lose your touch! You hear us?

9:36 HAHAHAHAHA. Get up fool.

8:25 Kobe to Drew

We're not looking forward to the extreme road game winter for the Lakers so stop reminding us.

6:18 For reals Lamar? For reals?

We love LO, but whoever just said he's the key to this team makes us laugh, A LOT.

5:07 Luke, we've warned you once. Do not make us turn on you tonight... it's gonna be a long couple of weeks before we can put you back on our cool people list.

4:40 Thank you!

3:42 Goddamn son, somebody go rebound that for us.

3:17 Instead of an And 1 they should just call it a High 5?

.2 We're sure PB&J has a great reason for doing everything he does but is this really a superb time for lineup changes?

78-73 Lakers


4th Quarter
11:00 We're not in love with a tie this late in the game.

9:59 Vujacic for 0!

This just in, the Heat might win a game.

7:47 Holla for Drew!

6:08 Bynum for the "Noooooot!" (that's a block)

3:59 Luke Walton cleans up after himself.

3:11 Serious?

Come on! Let's end this, we have cookies to start baking.

2:00 We definitely don't like our games tied at The Dos.

WHY FISH WHY?

20.7 Shot clock violation.

11.9 If Drew wants to hold our respect for the rest of the season he will make these...
1 - Guess he doesn't
2 - Nope, he doesn't

10.3 Kobe with the "this ball is mine" time out.

Sitting on the edge of our seats at a moment like this, ready to either have happy baking time or mad baking time.

Walton for his famous inbounding...

3.3 What??? No, no, no, no, no. NO. That is simply unjust.

Angry baking it is. Hope these cookies don't taste like Cavaliers and disgust.

3.3 Remarkably still the time, Luke does the inbounding again... aaaaaaaaaand it's all for nothing.

Pack it up gentlemen. Maybe we'll see ya tomorrow night just cause going on vacay with loss doesn't taste good.


Final Comments
We need to lose the whole "let's take the 3rd Quarter off" mentality if we think we're going to do big things this year. And yes, we think we're going to do big things this year. Realistically D.Fish shouldn't have been called on that last foul though - that's just senseless refereeing. We got yo numba ref!

No awards for tonight - we don't have it in us.

Our player of the night: Good question. Pretty lack-luster game, nobody really stood out. Let's just try this again tomorrow shall we?
