71 Lakers vs. Kings

At least we think that's who they're playing tonight. It's so hard to keep track of the poor - mediocre teams these days. Why doesn't Dr. Buss buy his own broadcasting station and just make it all Lakers all the time? No seriously. Include it in the basic cable package or you know what, even better, make it a yearly subscription channel. I'd pay for it. Even if the games were being broadcast for free on KCAL or FSN. Think about it...
People around the country (except for in Boston where people are foolish) love the Lakers, and would pay for this channel. If he ran Lakers programming all day he'd get the people of southern California on board. Especially those in San Diego! Such programs could include:

El Segundo: The Practice Files

Laker Girls (a reality show obvi)
Courtside Connection - because screw having it on the website, lets have Jeanie read her blogs outloud t us, and perhaps a text to vote on that daily trivia.

Classic Moments - replay the best games ever.

Lakers Beach House - just have random players/execs/dancers stop by the beach house and do whatever all of the time.

And then there should totally be a fan show. This came to us in a dream, but how ridiculous would it be if every home game there was a fan (voted on somehow) who hosted a show where they showed up at STAPLES for pregame shoot around and had a camera and a mic and just walked around, interview players, shoot around, look at the pregame dinner, whatever. Of course they'd watch the game and that could be part of it if they want, and then after the game more of the same... interviews in the locker room, post game meal, whatever. And by "ridiculous" we totally mean awesome! Air it the day after the game or something.

Just a thought.

A word before the game
We got carried away with the Lakers TV thing but we're bored so sue us. Tonight we promise to pay attention to the game and try to provide some of the original comedy we used to provide. Honestly, it's a little hard when they're doing so well, but focus we must. No promises on how that's going to turn out though. Oh and as for the Kings... well, this should be one of those no brainer easy wins. Like, you know the Clippers. So we'll see if the Lakers are still on that course of destruction they've been on all season or if they have fallen into Lakers of Yore thinking and assume they're going to win and are going to try to mail it in. Post man don't run on Sunday's y'all.
P.S. What's with people who write "y'all" as "ya'll". Um, no.


1st Quarter
OMG Vladi's goggles = teh awesome!

11:15 Uh oh, Fish got off to an actual start by making the basket. It could be a loooong night for Sactown.

9:25 Andrew follows up his miss/fumble/nonsense by not making the next basket either

Spencer Hawes just got 16 1/2'd. That's a sandwich between Pau and Andrew.

Oh snap, someone's bleeding and Pau didn't even check his face first.

7:07 The towel boy over there with the Kings looks like Josh Powell.

4:30 Perhaps Radman should have put those damn goggles on earlier this season.

This just in, Colts and Bolts are tied.

Kobe almost dropped it in backwards on the pass from I can't really make many baskets Derek Fisher.

1:17 No need to make free throws tonight Trevor, don't even worry about it.

48.7 Did Trevor go to Kwame Brown's all star ball handling class yesterday for extra tips?

0.1 Even though he looked mildly retarded doing it, Sasha's end of the quarter PUJIT was a nice knife in the heart for Sacramento.

32-27 Lakers


2nd Quarter
Internet outage and we come back to a tied game and then the Kings are up?

9:47 Sasha does a fantastic job throwing away the steal because dribbling first might upset his shot.

Blogger.com gets a FAIL in life. We type this up on a blogger page because it's easier for both of us to comment that way - and we transfer it later - too bad it gives an error tonight everytime we update to let us know that it can't actually update.

6:20 UCLA finally awake.

5:12 Andrew also went to that ball handling class with Trevor.

4:51 Yep, we just got the roll sheet from Kwame himself, Andrew wad definitely there.

Derek Fisher takes soooooo long getting across the half court line. He's aware that he only has 8 seconds right?

3:24 Brad Miller nearly murders Trevor who doesn't sell his pain like Sasha would and lets him get away with a regular foul.

19.5 Kareem digs for gold on television.

61-52 Lakeshow


Halftime
Question: What is the point of Rick Fox in studio? Don't get us wrong. We think it's hilarious because all they ever do is make fun of him for this or for that and talk about his personal life. And tonight its all about Doug Christie vs. Rick Fox. But seriously, what was the point of putting him up there with Billy Mac and Stormin Norman?

Findings from the live ball thingy (we swear we're making a name for that thing because it's apparently called Courtside Live and thats boring).
Derek Fisher is terrible and nobody notices and it seems nobody cares. He might be good on any other team, but this is Los Angeles, you come to play or you go to the Clippers. 1 for 4 with 3 fouls is not, as they say, good.

Lamar has all of his points from the EXACT same spot on the floor. Consistency.


3rd Quarter
Side note: We've begun taking bets on which assistant coach is going to give the post-halftime interview, perfect record so far. Perhaps we'll start adding that to the Halftime chat.

10:11 We're completely convinced that the Lakers take a group nap during halftime (every game) and don't wake up with enough time to not be groggy for the 3rd.

7:38 He packed his bags for that trip. Why is Theus arguing about this with the ref?

For some reason we just relived the scene from Knocked Up where they try to go to the club but the bouncer won't let them in because she's pregnant and the other one is "old as fuck".

4:05 We wonder who greases Fisher's head before the game.

Wish they'd show us more of the game in the smallest corner possible on the screen while we watch other random things on the screen. Yeah!

1:02 Kobe has that look on his face. That "oh hell no, not tonight" look.

0.0 How come Luke doesn't have the Gatorade ready?

96-80 Kobe


4th Quarter
10:54 Defense obviously isn't a big deal tonight. Lets just let the Kings have every basket they want.

10:11 Andrew might as well gift wrap those balls for them.

8:49 Sasha falls down. Shock. Awe.

6:45 Lamar fouls because he's embarrassed and then tries to argue it. Hmmm, is that the new defense?

Sasha just gave away the entire game. Awful.

6:04 Lamar goes to work instantly.

4:48 At least Kobe got the foul. More than we can say for Fisher who missed the shot (s).

4:05 Fighting for rebounds. Our favorite. Not sarcasm.

3:05 Trevor pulls out his latest pony trick. It's like gymnastics up in there.

1:34 Apparently nobody knows what the score is, so lets stand around and have an extended time out just for fun.

1:20 Its like people don't read the book on Trevor. If you let him, he will steal your ball. Passing. Dribbling. Shooting. He's stealing it. He wants it. "...the ball just calls my name."

118-108 Los Angeles


Final Comments
Holler!

Ok it was sloppy. Real sloppy. There's going to be a lot to work on at practice tomorrow. A LOT. Did anyone else see that the Timberwolves STOMPED on the Pistons. Who even plays for the TWolves? Consensus: Nobody.

Player of the Night - Trevor Ariza like woah!
