Lakers vs. Magic

A word before the game:
There is no we tonight, it is just I. Longhorns @ Bears (you've seen the mascot right?) got off to an exciting start but I'll have to rely on the DVR to see how it ends. We agreed a long time ago that we like Josh Shipp (before we knew he was J.Far's roommate). "Lets jump Shipp". Is it advantageous to play the team you just got traded from? Wonder what Cookie, Mo, and The Trev have to say about that? I know he wasn't very contributing but I liked/miss Cookie a lot.

One last thing: SUNDAY NIGHT WHITES! Love those uniforms.

Tip Off
Kobe, Our Hero D.Fish, Big Drew, Rad Vlad & L-O L-O L-O L-O-V-E (yes, thats an Ashlee Simpson reference... forgive me)



1st Quarter
11:42 Get it Drew! Thats what we want to see all night long baby!

10:03 Radical!

6:43 Pretty low score across the bar so far.

6:19 Drew's first foul! I think his first foul deserves a shot. New game tradition.

6:11 Bye bye Dwight Howard.

And a nice little PS from our favorite announcers (thank God they're back - sorry ESPN), Drew has 2, go fig.

5:17 I'm going to refrain from Mihm hating and just wait until he produces something I can praise him for...

3:46 Kobe thinks he's at shooting practice? No complaints here.

3:28 Kobe just took flight to catch D.Fish's whatever you want to call that, may as well have been at half court and slams it in. Holla!

52.7 Looks like Cookie is already a Laker Hater. Knock KB to the floor and then stand there and look at him, good plan.

30-24 Lakers



2nd Quarter
11:52 Luke just went tap dancing on Mo's head. No hard feelings we swear.

Love watching the football passes.

8:26 Does Luke play so hard that his shirt comes untucked from movement, or does he order his shorts a size too large making it difficult for it to stay put? I really want to know... he's pretty much the only person who has this problem on a consistent basis.

7:39 Yes J.Far should have made that, but good hustle nevertheless Hustleman.

6:58 Kobe just nutmegged himself. I think someone else on your team was claiming that move already.

5:29 Drew just made a free throw in the middle of play. Effortless.

3:33 Kobe to Drew, "Here ya go." Drew to Kobe, "Thanks man, you're the best." They are so cute together.

2:47 Orlando just missed it 3 times in a row. Oops?

We're gonna have to get used to the fact that the boys rack up turnovers like they add to their own score or something.

1:31 D. Fish gets to redeem himself.

63-55 Magicians



Half Time
Lindsay Lohan seemed to be enjoying a quiet night in - only in LA can sitting courtside at a ball game be considered a quiet night. You can tell by the look on everyones face that they know what they need to do to get this done, but will they do it? Lets not repeat Utah, mmkay?
We learned some terminology today:
One Trillion (or any trillion for that matter)
Home Cookin'
And there's always a good time goin' on over at toomuch <-- you either know what that is or you don't. But phrase of the day has been "Duck duck duck duck duck duck boom tho!" That doesn't have much to do with anything other than the fact that I wanted to mention it. Hmmm, is it pronounced communiKAYtive or communiCUHtive?


3rd Quarter
11:05 (thats 55 seconds into the half) Drew gets his 3rd. Take a shot everytime he gets fouled for the rest of the season. Drew, don't get us love drunk off your humps please.

9:13 Fish is an effective but quiet player. He gets it done though.

7:27 See what I mean? FOR THE LOVE OF (&?) BASKETBALL STOP SHOWING US THE TWO SIDES OF DWYANE SPELLING ERROR WADE PLAYING BASKETBALL. THIS IS LA, WE DON'T CARE. K, THANKS.

4:15 Jump ball 'cause theys be brawlin', not ballin', brawlin' on the ground. Does Kobe take dance classes with his daughters to learn that fancy footwork? Dancing with the Stars anyone?

I'm glad somebody else thinks the Utah booing of Derek Fisher was as ridiculous, disrespectful, and disappointing as we did. Seriously WTF Utah?

What just happened in the FSN commercial where I think they were making LO (or was that Kwame? I was barely paying attention), LW, and DF "rockstars", but all they did was walk to the spotlight, look up, and then look at the camera? Note to self: Must go to Sports Chalet for roadtrip.

32.2 Get up Ronny... now stand up straight... that doesn't look very good :( Fix it Vitti! 77-75 Orlando - are they owned by Disney like the entire town they are from (even though knowledgeable folk know that Disney is in Lake Buena Vista NOT Orlando)? 4th Quarter
11:12 Somebody tell Jordan that he can socialize with The Laker Girls after the game is over.

10:54 Mihms for the make!

9:33 No comment.

Shirtwatch 2007 - officially we're going to take shots every time Luke's shirt is untucked now.

6:09 Kobe with the assist goes to the ground and LO drops it in.

5:12 Jordan DOIN THE DAMN THANG! No matter the outcome.

Shirtwatch: Only this time I'm pretty sure someone almost ripped it off of him.

Patrick Ewing got fat. I only mention this because people very very regularly think my dad is Patrick Ewing and um, I'm pretty sure that won't be happening again anytime soon.

2:25 Ronny has a concussion. Not happy.

1:44 There goes the tacos.

18.3 I'm not really sure how it is that we're set up to lose this one right now but that's what it looks like.

17.2 Fish or someone (I find it hard to watch this now) just took a seat at the scorers table. Why not rest right?

Hey, I thought we were gonna see The Trev play tonight because he knows the Magic's style?

104-97 Magic



Final Comments
Nice losing bookends for Saturday... as nice as losing bookends can be I guess. At least it wasn't a shameful loss though. Listen to some TuPac on your drives home gentlemen... Keep Ya Head Up.

Our player of the night: Derek Fisher. He may have only had a handful of points but he's so smooth with it. And he was such an amazingly collected person after being booed by the Utah assholes the other night and didn't let that affect him one bit, how could we not vote for him?

Proof that LA fans are better: Booing Lindsay Lohan who's obviously working on her "health" from the side of the court instead of booing people who put their family above little orange balls.

The Get Your Act Together award of the night: NBA.com and the UCLA Bruins tie.
