We believe in the win tonight. We are there, we are cheering, we are in love. But no matter which way it goes tonight, we want them to have fun.
We couldn't have asked for a better regular season and it's been one HELL of a run in the post season. No regrets.
1st Quarter
11:01 It wasn't pretty but they pulled it out just now. Was that a steal? Whatever, we are under way, good job team.
10:33 No good!
We CANNOT be having the shot clock running out... wake up y'all.
Isn't it great how we get to keep talking about how Ray's son was in the hospital and he doesn't want to talk about it? I don't think he meant for everyone to spend the week talking about him not talking about it, let's just drop it, kids don't ask for fame.
9:02 Kobe is already in head shaking mode. Not tonight.
True story:
The Nuggets bus caught on fire on the way to Staples
The Spurs plane was delayed overnight leaving from New Orleans headed to LA
The Celtics' plane was delayed several hours on the way home
5:57 Heres an idea, let's all stand around and watch Rajon shoot the ball.
Dear Budweiser, it would be weiser if you understood that pouring a beer straight into a cup and leaving a shit ton of foam on top of it is not cute.
4:20 Poor baby Ray-Ray... wheelchair time?
Foul wasn't called because flopping will be fined next season that's why Doc.
3:21 Luke Walton showed up? "Happy Father's Day... ... ??" This could be a good sign.
Scrolling through the comments over at FB&G comes this: I wonder how much softer my couch would be if Pau Gasol laid down on it?
Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches? This is a story?
57.something Walton with the steal!
Not the best quarter ever but not the worst either 24-20 Celtics
2nd Quarter
eHarmony commercial is like awful.com right now
A side discussion about whether Ronny looks like a terrorist of the animal from predator is going on here... my vote, terrorist. But, the nicest, awesomest terrorist ever.
10:14 Glen Davis is THICK.
9:57 Doc gets a T... can he get another? Give it to him!
8:55 FUCK!
A montage of finger pointing!
and this is where we have technical difficulties with the internet... not uncommon, we hate this service but it's all that is available.. and let's not even talk about that sucktastic end of the first half.
Half Time
Whatever. Let's go Lakers!
3rd Quarter
We don't really have the strength to blog about the 3rd... check back in the 4th.
4th Quarter

Epic FAIL
Denial
This season isn't over. It's not over, the fat lady may be waiting in the wings but it's not her part yet, the stage manager hasn't tolled for her.
Anger
How the hell did that happen? How? HOW? 24 points? That is just unreal! Throw a chair Sasha because thats exactly what we did.
Bargaining
Next year is our year...
Depression
This fucking sucks. Point blank.
Acceptance
What else is on TV?
Just some opinions we've collected from around the internet. Our opinion?
Well, PB&J was right, it's not over. Last night was singlehandedly the most ridiculous thing ever to happen in the history of western civilization but it happened. Sunday is a new day, we can go out and win it on Sunday. There is no reason we shouldn't have the fire, emotion and passion to win on Sunday. Lay it all out there on the table on Sunday night. Nobody wants to be embarrassed twice in a row at home. Then we got to Boston and start all over again. One game at a time eh?
It could happen. We could be the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit and win the title and this will be the game that makes this series EPIC for reasons other than just being the game where the Celtics stuck sticks in the spokes of our wheelchairs. Yes the Lakers were the handicapped kids laying on the playground while everyone else pointed and laughed and the teachers were all in a staff meeting.
We're taking today to be pissed off, befuddled, and our statement to inquiring minds is "I don't even want to talk about it." But tomorrow we're all about how it's possible to win 3 in a row and starting on Sunday, it is on!

Finals, Game 4, Lakers-Celtics
Nervous, straight up and straight down, thats what we are. Nervous. Not that we don't have faith, we've decided to be nervous so the gentlemen don't have to be. Let's get this party started shall we? BTW, we haven't forgotten game 2 at all. We have riotous (no really) stories from HCA over at Staples Center coming soon. Game 3 we didn't see but it's on the DVR for later this summer when theres no basketball in sight. It'll be fun to watch and review that after all is said and done.
Tip off - Nothing out of the ordinary
1st Quarter
My god we love Steve Javie. "I could make love to Steve Javie tonight." He always seems to make correct and fair calls, time for real basketball, not pre-decided bullshit (whether that's true or not).
10:13 Kobe can't be missing these free throws like that. Can't.
9:30 Doc Rivers needs to get it together... or not, either way, but he must know that Javie will give that T without so much as a second thought. Even we know that.
9:04 Rihanna says, "Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum dum". We're not really sure what that means but it sure sounds good with the LO dunk in the background.
7:45 Celtics are looking ticked off.
Doesn't Mbenga look Mbeautiful tonight in his suit? Just sayin'.
6:39 LO on FIYA! In related news Turiaf charged with holding the entire rest of the team on the bench.
6:05 LAMAR FUCKING ODOM! (but make those freethrows huh?)
This is why we pwned the Western Conference... when the other team can't double anybody because everybody is a threat to their individual and collective manhoods.
5:01 Kobe Bryant! Foul or no foul that was AMAZING.
It helps that Boston can't even make uncontested shots. Thank god we have a coach like PB&J, even with this score he find something to scowl about (thats what we need). Timeout!
1:58 Trevor Ariiiiiiiiiiiiiiza! God is it good to see him back.
Pau Pau rubs Jordan's head in lil brudder fashion. We think that's cute. We're also to lazy to link you to anything to help if you don't know what lil brudder is. Just say it out loud or something.
.53 (ish) Eddie was open like a whore house a midnight and still got the miss?
Oh did you hear that? Largest lead in a Finals game 1st Quarter ever... 20 points, if Gasol didn't miss his free throws we could break that record. Here comes Machine.
There it is
35-14 Lakers with the largest lead in NBA history at the end of a 1st Quarter in Finals.
2nd Quarter
11:42 Trevor please call us, we have something for you. We were gonna give you a ball but you just stole one. and then moments later, a put back.
10:08 Luke Walton please study the game of basketball sometime soon.
Trevor is out of control tonight. Pure animal. We like it. No, we LOVE it.
"Saved by who else... Ariza"
8:37 Finally finally finally...
7:03 OH SON! Jordan almost killed it on that one, stupid whistle.
6:45 MACHINE
Sit down Doc, you can't foul Turiaf on that.
The outro clip to commercial ft. Trevor singing is awesome.5 Play it again, play it again.
4:57 A rare no-shoot for Sasha?
Okay lets not let the C*ltics get out of hand here.
Derek working his "what the hell?" face to take us into the commercial break. Yeah, we don't know either Fish.
2:01 Gasol for dat ass!
1:09 Ray Allen for zero.
52.2 Kob don't start actin' up.
9.1 It is kind of weird to watch D Fish standing there dribbling the clock out and not Kobe but he looks good doing it just the same. Gasol and 1.
5.2 Believe it Phil, Radman has no idea what is going on right now. Your favorite Martian?
0.0 THAT'S WHAT JORDAN DOES, THAT'S HIS JOB HIT THAT SHIT AT THE BUZZER.
Lots of points for the Lakers, not so many for the Celtics
Half Time
As much fun as this is, Boston isn't really playing much ball tonight. They can't be giving up on this series. Putting Jordan in for that last play was perfect. But putting Trevor in was just out of this world brilliance. Good work ALL.
3rd Quarter
10:57 That was Kobe's first.
9:35 LO you coulda made that baby... shoulda
Thats enough Celtic injuries. Yes, this one looks serious, but the others? But we do wish him well, nobody wants to see that even if it is a Shamrock.
9:17 PJ Brown with one of those whore house shots. Wide open, just don't wanna go in.
7:07 Damn are we lookin good or what? Everybody is just on it tonight.
"Flea, I'm told from the Red Hot Chili Peppers" Did someone really have to tell him that? National Television...
6:04 Vlad puts it down like it ain't no thang
3:57 4 for Posey, not points, fouls. But can we finish this play?
2:29 Garnett finally getting called for his screens.
Split screen of Doc pacing the floor anxiously and Phil cleaning out his ears. Classic.
Let us not give away our entire lead huh?
73-71 Are you kidding me that the lead for the Lakeshow is only 2 points?
4th Quarter
The unfortunate thing about the Jack In The Box commercial with your embarrassing dad at the Smoothie Joint is that... there was no imagination involved in that, it happens every day. Ew.
11:38 Come on Ronny!
Sasha really needs an Oscar already. Scissor drop-kick from the floor. Precious.
Oh heavens! 73-all.
9:02 75-all
Shit, shit, shit!
We need Kobe to start his head shaking. You know where he walks up and down the court telling the other team "No, you're not winning this tonight." That, we need that. Let's go Lakers.
6:21 L.Odom!
5:47 Farm Life to KB24 and it's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
4:45 OH come on Pau... he's looking a lot like Phil today.
4:06 That sound you just heard was all of California screaming at the same time.
3:13 Are you kidding me?
Can't.breathe.
Honestly we have nothing to say right now. We can't. Must watch intently.
Final Comments
It gets late early - Are.You.Kidding.
And can Paul Pierce stop thinking that God had something to do with this? Thanks.
Tip off - Nothing out of the ordinary

Finals, Game 1, Lakers-Celtics
Is it normal to be this nervous when you have absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the game? We couldn't sleep last night, haven't eaten today and are just downright giddy. Looking at the pictures from the blog on the Lakers' website of Boston and all things TD Northbank just pushed us over the edge. We're pretty sure we need to find a way to get to one of these games. No idea how that's going to work but we'll keep you posted. This is the ULTIMATE NBA match up and it just so happens to feature our favorite and only team and we have an even advantage to win? Life doesn't get much better my friends, it really really doesn't.
Oh my god... watching them run out onto the floor is unreal!
Kinda like Maroon 5 said, it's getting harder and harder to breathe. Let's get this pony show on the road. Seriously, let's get going, we can't wait ANY FUCKING LONGER!! LET'S PLAY!
(not sure how we feel about james taylor with the national anthem)
Tip Off
All the people you might expect, and for the Lakeshow that means Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, and Vladimir Radmonovic with the ghosts of Magic, Kareem, Rambis, Wilt, West and whoever else you wanna name, all ready to rumble.
1st Quarter
Kind of surprising nobody has made a bigger deal out of the fact that Son of former Celtic Bill playing in this series.
Also we D-I-G the large statue of the trophy as the starting 5 walk out. Did we mention EPIC?
11:44 Pau takes the first shot for a make! Wooooooo!
10:06 D Fish!
9:50 Celtics barely being guarded and they miss 2 3's in a row and we get the ball, this is how this needs to be played.
7:52 That missed free throw just hurt all of the Garden "ugggh!"
5:10 Wow, 12-all, that's a low score is it not?
Machine gets up to play.
Back court? Back court!?!?!?
2:40 Farm life!
2:26 Gasol for the block leads to Machine for the 3.
23-21 Celtics
2nd Quarter
11:something Get it Ronny :)
10:49 Luke picking up the loose ball foul, how do you make the furrowed brow face on the internet? >:{ ?
8:46 Wow, they waited a long time before starting the MJ talk.
Ronny needs to control himself.
Or he could just pick up fouls so Pau doesn't get them, hmmm, interesting theory.
6:27 NGL, that was all ball and they give KG the frees anyway, poor Pau.
True story: We know someone that knows someone who will be on the season premiere of Wipeout. Her family even rented a club downtown for the viewing party, free food, not free liquor. We invited ourselves.
We want a jersey from this game!!! Can we have Turiaf's?
5:20 Yes we know Kobe's finger is broken, thanks.
5:14 Bye bye Piercey
4:37 Posey for zero
4:18 Posey couldn't convert even after Radman stopped trying and then they got themselves a foul? Certainly that will give the conspiracy theorists some material for tomorrow morning.
3:09 Round of applause for L Odom. Build up that lead darlings.
Bill Russell & Julius Erving... gotta respect the greats no matter what.
1:22 Holler at Rondo for giving it up but then whatever the opposite of a holler is to the Lakers for giving it up at the other end and then we'll give that holler over to D Fish for the 3. That's a lot of holler transferring.
51-46 La la la la lakers.
Half Time
OMG Marines are hott! Even the ones who can't swim. And let's all go see Hancock when this is over?
Magic & Bird split screen = unreal. Rivalries never die.
3rd Quarter
Powder up Kobe!
11:15 Did we honestly just give PP a 4 point play?? Oh yeah, looks like.
9:34 Radman had better get his temper under control ASAP
6:49 What the hell happened to Pierce? Other than Kobe owning? Oh... his own teammate. Now when the Lakers win they'll say it's because of this and not because they can play.
Wheelchair? Oh shit. Good job blocking the cameras backstage though?
And there goes Perkins too?
Their shorts look so funny when they replay the jumps in slow mo.
Voo-Yah-Chich
5:22 Love the entire arena not even paying attention to the game but rather the action in the tunnel. Too bad Pierce looks like he might topple over any second.
4:12 Even with the Odom put in, this isn't going so well is it?
3:40 KG donates 3 easys to the Machine's cause.
3:06 Oh Oh OOOOOOOh! D Fish to KB24. Like buttah!
46.3 All of this back and forthing with the score is killin us.
MADE! After the buzzer =/
77-73 Leprechauns
4th Quarter
11:08 Wasn't that the second loose ball on Walton who's dad predicted the C's for the series?
Oh dear...
8:26 What the hell Derek?
whatever the time is: E.T. er.... Cassell can't tell time. Oops?
5:42 Kobe must begin total domination now.
3:43 We're too close to let this game go tonight. GIDP. Get it done please.
2:57 L Odom might be the wake up buzzer these guys need.
2:34 Ray Allen is a bullshitter.
1:54 Anybody else notice certain players re fuzzy looking on the screen? Can ABC get it together soon?
Must... breathe... in... AND... out...
Wanted to see Wanted quite some time ago, glad it's finally getting around to coming out.
In-N-Out, this game ain't bein played in California so what gives?
98-88 Celtics
Final Comments
From Evil Ted @ Basketbawful:
Early in the game, officials called a backcourt violation on Gasol that wasn't a backcourt violation, why? Because Gasol's location in relation to the centerline was obscured by the fact that the Celtics have plastered an O'Brien trophy logo across the full width of the court. If a bad call relating to the midcourt line is made at a critical point in a critical game, expect to hear more about this unecessary logo. Later in the game, KG saved a ball from going into the back court and the Celtics scored. It was a critical play and it looked like KG's foot stayed on the correct side of the center line, but there's no precise way to tell. Why? Cause there's no centerline, that's why.
and Wild Yams continued:
For Game 2 I'd like to see them go with a lengthwise, full-court Larry O'Brien trophy rather than that half-ass side to side one they have at midcourt. They should have it not only blot out the halfcourt line, but also the painted areas under each basket as well as the 3-point line, the free throw line and the dotted line under each hoop. I can't wait till it's the future and they have motion graphics going underneath the floor and on the backboards. It's going to be super-keen!
Yeah... about that!
Oh my god... watching them run out onto the floor is unreal!
Kinda like Maroon 5 said, it's getting harder and harder to breathe. Let's get this pony show on the road. Seriously, let's get going, we can't wait ANY FUCKING LONGER!! LET'S PLAY!

It was a critical play and it looked like KG's foot stayed on the correct side of the center line, but there's no precise way to tell. Why? Cause there's no centerline, that's why.
and Wild Yams continued:
For Game 2 I'd like to see them go with a lengthwise, full-court Larry O'Brien trophy rather than that half-ass side to side one they have at midcourt. They should have it not only blot out the halfcourt line, but also the painted areas under each basket as well as the 3-point line, the free throw line and the dotted line under each hoop. I can't wait till it's the future and they have motion graphics going underneath the floor and on the backboards. It's going to be super-keen!
Yeah... about that!

Antsy, predictions, just sayin
One more day and finally finally finally, the finals will be underway.
We couldn't be more excited. You see, we've grown up around basketball all of our lives but this is the first time "our" team is in it to win it. We were around for the 3-peat. No joke, watched the games, did the parades and all of those etc, but we weren't really fans, just watching because our parents were and parading because we knew someone in the Laker organization. Now, NOW, we are fans. We've been watching on our owns (no adult supervision required) since last season, so we're in between what you might call bandwagon fans and die hard fans, but we're gettin' there.
We were just as heartbroken as the next person to watch the team struggle through the season and then whimper out during the first round last year and we're just as excited to see them ready to kick ass this season in the finals. That is one amazing turn around for a years time.
A few things on our minds.
~ All of the Kobe stories that we're about to hear more about than we need to. We hate national television. Hate.
~ Boston fans. Not all, but a lot are nasty. (more later)
~ The storied franchises meet again!!!
Here's the thing about a lot of Boston fans vs. a lot of Laker fans we've encountered recently. The Boston Celtic's fans are downright rude. Rude to other fans, rude to the players and their families, just rude. It's inconceivable. There's no reason to be rude to fans just because they are fans of another team. You'd think from the way they are talking to other people that they themselves have something to do with their team(s) winning or losing. Newsflash people, you are not on the payroll. Just sayin'.
Of course we want the Lakeshow to win. But more than just because winning is fun and winning is what it's all about... there are 3 things that will just be downright amazing to witness.
PB&J passing Red in titles won.
Lakers setting a new precedent for the rivalry.
Next season pwning our faces.
Plus we seriously don't plan to go to work the day of the parade.
The other thing that would be really really amazing to watch... if the Lakers win the series while at Boston one night, obviously we're talking about game 6 or 7 here. It'll be the second time in history anyone has done that to Boston. Lakers need to get there, and they just might. We're optimistic and would pick Lakers in 7 if asked, but realize that there is a possibility that it might go the other way.
This is going to be epic!
P.S. It's funny how just a few weeks ago we were giving ourselves the "it's okay if we don't make it to the finals this season has exceeded expectations already" and then we moved on to "it's okay if we don't win the championship, this season has blown expectations out of the freakin water" and now it's "win or go home, all or nothing, do or die, we must win". There is no excuse for failure.

Too many days off
We had nothing to say about the Spurs series. Really, we expected to finish it up with ease and we did.
But here's a great video to keep you company until finals start
