1 (Lakers vs. Jazz)
Oh snap! We're back. Well, we didn't technically go anywhere to begin with but whatever... we're back! Last game of the regular season. There are so many words we could say but we're just going to summarize it and say... LET'S DO THIS!
A word before the game
No words actually (these don't count) just this video link because it's brilliant. YOU'D BETTER CLICK ON THAT!
Starting Lineup
Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Trevor Ariza (a lot has changed since we last blogged), Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol
1st Quarter
Andrew pretty much owns the tip. So amazing to see him back and to not be holding our breath watching him play against the Grizzlies.
10:24 Our official opinion is that Trevor belongs with the second unit but that doesn't stop him from looking pretty spinning around in traffic.
9:09 What exactly is Deron Williams' haircut? It's like the Dr. Spock for black men.
Jesus (probably literally), we're just realizing how old some of the head coaches in this league are.
8:40 Andrew blocks it and it gets footballed across the court. Gotta love watching Trev catch the ball and take a drink of water before making the basket and still wondering WHERE ARE THE JAZZ ON D?
7:20 Are we just going to watch turnovers for the rest of the game?
6:37 Yes apparently we are. Welcome back Andrew Bynum!
Admittedly we act out our own "where amazing happens" commercials daily. Because the NBA is ridiculous. Today it was the grocery store, where amazing happens.
5:07 You can't defend Kobe Bryant unless he lets you.
If the Jazz lose can we please get D.Will a haircut? Can we get him one if they win? If the Lakers have to play them in a best of 7, it's gonna be real hard to look at him like that.
4:39 Every time Fish lets his shot go, it is almost impossible to believe it's not going down. It always looks so good, but then...
4:10 Shannon Brown (aka FBD) is in!
Before anybody gets all crazy about FBD vs. D.Will... it can't be any worse than Jordan.
Wow, the Jazzercisers have had a rough year. :(
2:00 Is it just us or does Luke remind you of Linus? Kinda homeless looking, with a dirt cloud over his head. Only when he's in uniform though, it's kinda like "one of these things is not like the other". Luuuuuuuuuuuuuke.
1:01 Er'body is on the floor tonight, can we get a mop?
Is that a UTAH SUCKS chant?
0.32 Shannon!!!!!!!
Wow. The replay makes it look even better. Damn son!
27-25 The Dr. Spocks
2nd Quarter
Is there somebody out there who thinks the Burger King square butts commercial is a good idea? I mean, funny maybe, but good?
11:31 While they are discussing the disgusting state of Farmar's play (which isn't all that disgusting, but we'll get to that later) and on the subject of haircuts needed... Jordan???
10:38 Get a mop for Milsap.
Are Fesenko and Kirilenko related?
Somebody is gonna have to start shotgunning beers on turnovers from here on out. 1 2 3 NOT IT!
8:11 Kyle Korver is not pretty. No comment on his free throws.
Inquiring minds want to know, does Drew shave his legs?
7:32 Apparently we're gonna spend the whole night talking about Jordan, so now is probably as good a time as any - since he just threw away the ball - it seems like he just isn't really comfortable being told what to do.
5:55 If you think the people on the court are confused by what just happened here, how do you think we feel?
COMMERCIAL BREAK (does Turner really have that many bills to pay?)
Crowd Shot: Kareem!
3:28 TNT cameras just went into Blair Witch mode. Ouch.
2:57 Shannon Brown, more points than minutes. Just sayin'.
Linus Walton just forced someone to drink. Awesome pass! /sarcasm
Crowd Shot: Kupcake!
0.0 OOOOOOOOOOH, how long is a ball allowed to hang onto the rim without going in before it's considered a miss?
56-55 Lakeshow.
Halftime
Random thought about the fervor with which people discuss time clocks in the NBA. Are we being serious? Of course accuracy is good, but when people are spending hours debating the relevacy of 0.2 of a second you have to ask yourself... aren't we just talking about a basketball game? We're huge sports fans as well, but there's no need to name call.
3rd Quarter
Switch sides
10:42 AND FOR SOME REASON WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT KOBE BRYANT'S CELLPHONE GATE. GIVE IT A FUCKING REST PLZZZZZZ.
8:29 That's what we're talking about. See how brilliant Fish's shot looked right there? It could have just as easily been a complete miss.
7:31 Sausage party under the basket.
7:00 Well it's good to see that Drew hasn't lost his penchant for screaming profanities after every foul he gets.
5:48 Did Trevor just stand wide open in the corner for a good 20 seconds jumping up and down with his hands up while everyone else played with the ball? Yes. Yes he did.
5:12 OH SHIT Y'ALL. D.Will, Drew, Kobe - it'sa bout to be a slapfest. Or at least a T fest. Did Deron just poke the sleeping lion with a hard yet short stick?
3:36 Lamar came to play tonight!
2:19 Phil Jackson smiled =)
1:01 Shannon missed but we still love him. And then Andrew left nothing to chance with a slam!
24.4 Here is where Shannon makes up for it. Oh, it's good!!
0.8 ::shakes head:: Kobe gotta make that freethrow babe.
91-83 Lakers!
4th Quarter
11:48 Hey there's the old Jordan we knew and loved.
11:16 Pau just gave somebody (anybody, everybody) the "you can't fuck with this" look.
10:17 Might as well JUMP! Go ahead and JUMP!
Laker Ball
9:14 ON replay The Machine's catch and shoot is gorgeous looking.
8:36 Boozer for a nice block on Odom but J.Sloane has that look on his face like he can't fucking believe his life has come to this and how'd he get stuck with such tenure in fucking UTAH?
7:34 Bahahaha. Did they just call Craig Sager a vampire?
You know what's awesome... watching the last game of the seaon, going down on the homecourt, and having the whole team there to play it. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. And since we're not there to be emotional about it this year, we'll just imagine the team applauding the fans after the game is over with. And then piling into SUV's with tinted windows to head over to LO7's end of the season party with free champagne for everbody. Yep, we're pretending.
5:37 LO7 taking no prisoners. We likey.
2:00 Two minutes. Two minutes remain in your regular season ball games. Awwww.
And it's totally official. Lakers vs. Jazz Playoffs '09 Round 1. Who's bringing the clippers for D.Will?
125-112 making it 65-17. Collective YAY.
Final Comments
Kobe, Derek, and Trevor get 82 games trophies tonight!
Player of the Night: Shannon Brown - because we said so.
