Lakers vs. Hawks

A word before the game:
It has been a loooooooooooong time since the boys have donned the Championship Gold uniforms, and damn it must feel good to finally get Pau in one! We wanted to be at Pau's welcome to LA Party but alas, the blogging duties call... or something like that. While you were sleeping, or avoiding the Grammy's or whatever - Luke decided to suck, Kwame and Javaris packed their bags, Kobe broked himself, Shaq took a long flight west and the world became a better place. At least one of those statements is not true.


Tip Off
Welcome to the second half of the season: The White Stripes covering Patti Page's "Conquest" (yes we're music buff's) as Pau's theme? Brilliant!
Kobe, Derek, Lamar, Pau, Vladimir


1st Quarter
Pau looks like sex in that home uniform.

10:44 Courtesy points!

10:28 Watching refs run - screaming we presume - away from the ball is the best.

9:27 Pau just dropped it off... me gusta Pau!

Why are we booing Bibby? I mean, what did he honestly do to us?

3:52 Derek down!

2:45 "When he punches that dance ticket... you'd better watch out" well said, remember how Kobe's finger is like broken?

Jordan with the steal!!!!

32 - 14 The Pau Gasol's


2nd Quarter
11:43 Luke nutmegs himself for what would have been an awesome awesome play, but Ronny doesn't get the finish.

10:25 Did Luke decide to recover from his loserville hangover during th break?

9:25 Pretty sure Sasha didn't even catch that one before he shot it.

"40-19 at the 8:50 mark of the sexin'... second."

8:08 Deeeeeeelaaaaaayed faaaaaaalllling.

7:20 JORDAN FARMAR

6:04 Walton just got excited. Looks like he's back! Phew (honestly we were about to give him the Hey there's that guy award tonight)

4:35 You guys can't let Kobe get away with that... well, I guess yes, yes you can, and thank you!

2:16 Welcome to the Lake show, these boys are tearin' it up!

1:02 Derek Fisher please get up...

Okay, he's okay, just being dramatic from what we can tell.

"Mike Woodson, wanna get away?" Even these guys are on it tonight!

73-37 Los Angeles


Half Time
Could that score even be real? Atlanta apparently got stuck in New Orleans, get that? Maybe they forgot to watch tapes? We expected them to be on Mike Bibby high tonight like we were when Pau arrived but, guess not? The dinner table is set, all we have to do is eat our vegetables in order to get dessert.


3rd Quarter
Holy monkey, we just checked and yes, that's the correct score.

9:18 Lamar? Radman? Hello?

7:06 L. Odom

5:08 HaHa!

4:43 KOBE BRYANT (that smile says it all)

Kobe can hit the showers now.

97-69 Smells like Champeenship Gold to us


4th Quarter
11:24 RONNY TURIAF

Can we get some Son of Karl action please?

Pau?

"Oh shit fuck" we can hear you...

5:35 Mbenga with the hustle play. We like him. Quite a bit.

2:43 I'm Coby Karl, I'm George's son! Also the second Laker (and maybe person?) to play a double header. D-Fender by day, Laker by night!

47.3 Karl with an And 1!

122 -93 Get There!
