We're going to attempt to blog this, but lets be honest, this is post-turkey coma territory. There is a small chance we won't even wake up later on. Damn, nap time is down to a mere 4 hours and 7 minutes.... be back soon!
A word before the game
Oh man this is going to either be A-OK without Andrew, painful to watch with Andrew or totally awful without Andrew. This game should be a good test as Dallas is a worthy opponent (as worthy as worthy comes these days). We're trying really hard to stay awake and may end up scrapping this entire blog later on if we can't. Btw, our halftime coaches interview guessing game is still undefeated. Oh and yep... we're still at home.
Starting Lineup
Assuming Andrew doesn't play tonight we bet on:
Kobe-Kob, D. Fish, Pau Pow, Radman, LO7
1st Quarter
But Andrew ends up in the starting lineup anyway... and also Radman has his goggles on still! Let's do this y'all.
10:48 Andrew doesn't seem to be having too much trouble so far.
8:27 What hurt foot? Andrew drops it IN!
3:56 Kobe shoots, Kobe misses, Kobe misses badly.
3:15 Derek Fisher remains standing on what would normally be a D.Fish sit down play. He enjoys sitting after shots or continuous defense - watch.
Ooooh, remember when Kobe wore tights with his uniform?
UCLA TIME
30-27 Lakers on a last second drop in from Pau!
2nd Quarter
Wow, we've made it all this way without one of those famous Steve Javie calls? That's kinda sad actually.
9:03 The whole throwing the ball off of a defender to have them "kick" it out of bounds is lame, but if it works it works?
8:17 No, no, and no again.
"The quickie with Jason Kidd" bahahaha, yes, yes we're twelve.
Wow this is a relatively boring game. Even Javie hasn't helped that.
2:56 Really? Did we really just run after the ball the whole way across the court?
33.1 We just noticed that Mbenga dressed over Mihm... interesting.
22.0 For real Radman? For real??
47-52
Halftime
Basically all that the live ball thingy showed us is that Lamar is sucky tonight. Which, actually we could have told you just from looking at the +/- chart. -13 for LO7. All of his shots came from the same place and they were no good... lets think about that shall we?
And while we do that, lets also think about our turnovers. Hmmmmm?
Coaches Interview:
Jim Cleammons (correct)
3rd Quarter
11:42 Kobe finally drops one. He may have made one before that but it sure seems like he hasn't dropped a shot in about a week.
10:03 Wow... another turnover.
Sidenote: we're just as sleepy/exhausted as they Lakers look like they are.
6:49 Trevor Ariza! You like that? We like it.
We're kinda diggin' the Sunday night lineup on FSN West, hour long pregame, game, after show, classics re-aired. Keep it up.
4:47 There goes Derek with his signature move we all wish he would stop doing. Yet again, Trevor cleans it up. He's the janitor of this team.
1:11 LO7 to Pau who throws it in so sweetly for the tied score that the light turned off.
37.9 Fish knows he can't make layups, but we tip it, tip it, tip it and score!
80-78 Lakers
4th Quarter
Looks like we might have a game worth watching now...
11:26 Oh Andrew *tisk tisk*
Note to self for future NBA career - no pull ups on the rim after dunks.
Things are starting to get exciting up in here!
9:33 Act like you got some sense. Jordan Farmar baby!
8:54 Where Derek Fisher falls to the ground on every defensive play, Ariza falls to the floor on every layup made. Lets play a game called "stay standing".
We'd just like to say that Lakers have begun lighting the dark on fire... let's hear it for the boys!
TECH! (it wasn't even from Javie)
1:58 Bye bye to those tacos.
34.3 Can we see that shot of Kobe walking by the Dallas bench shaking his finger again PLEEEEEASE???? Good times.
6.5 That's our Kobe!
114-107 Lakers for dat ass (sorry we had to, it was a dare)
Final Comments
It was a little touch and go in the beginning. If by touch and go we mean boring as hell. But as always, the Lakeshow hit it in the end. Hit it, don't quit it. Over and done.
Player of the Night:Trevor Ariza, the janitor - people need to be scared of him. For sure.
