62 Lakers vs. Suns

Oh, there are a plethora of reasons there was no blog last night. The first being that we're trying to be like Shaq and rest on the least important of the 2 games when there's a back to back. As such we fully napped through the first quarter. The second being that it was probably the most ridiculous game to have witnessed all season and we also turned it off at the 3 minute mark in the fourth because seriously??


A word before the game
Great Scott! Luke Walton is in the starting lineup for some unknown reason. Granted the Suns aren't playing anybody you're used to hearing about on their team, like you know, Shaq, or Raja or Boris, but still! Starting? I guess our vote of confidence for Mr. Money Shot the other night worked. Got it.

Starting Lineup
KB24, 0.4, Andrew Bynum, Pau Pow, The Best Player On The Team


1st Quarter
Mother of god, was that a blocked shot? Tonight is going to be a night of miracles. Mark those words.

11:04 Um, uh, Luke Walton on the assist to Bynum.

10:46 Apparently in Phoenix rookies aren't allowed to comb their hair pre-game. Or either Robin Lopez doesn't know how to comb his hair.

9:36 Kobe tries for 3, Luke tries for 3. Total, 0.

7:56 Phoenix plans to lose this game. That much is evident.

3:35 Pau goes to the bench and Lamar comes in. Are those long johns Lamar? For the record we know they're matching knee braces but.

3:02 LUKE WALTON ON THE BREAK AWAY.

2:37 In a sad turn of events Lamar goes on a fast break and well... misses it kinda like we've come to expect at this point.

Thank Christmas! Finally a sideline interview with a celebrity that a) we care about and 2) is relevant to basketball. Hello part-owner and ex-player Magic Johnson.

1:29 This is possibly the latest the second unit has come into the game in a while.

Ok, so, we're gonna go ahead and stop making fun of Walton, because maybe that Stacy was onto something. Maybe Luuuuuuuuuke is not that terrible of a player after all. And maybe it's a good sign that PB&J can take the player off the end of the bench and put him in the starting lineup just because and have him be productive. It's just like the old days huh Lukie? (But this puts a serious damper on our hate fest.)

29-25 Los Angeles, which is good because we dislike Phoenix

2nd Quarter
11:37 Jordan misses a 3 or whatever - we're a little down on his play lately, can you tell? - but Lamar rebounds it which is solid until Trevor misses possibly the one shot he was never meant to miss ever. Mmmkay.

9:31 Sasha seems to have come to the game awake, setting himself up basically for his favorite shot. But instead of camping he brought it all the way in passed it out and then ran to his mark. What a long haired beauty.

8:43 And again, Sasha with the assist this time.

8:18 Never shall we ever say anything about Jordan and his play again. Thank you for making a shot. Probably his first this month And getting the extra chance.

Why do Matt Barnes' tattoos look like they might be heavy. Like he has to put in extra work to lift his arms?

6:14 Machine will pump you up!

5:35 Pau makes another free throw and it counts for 2.

We still haven't seen Vladi. Looks like somebody put that baby in the corner.

3:08 Can somebody please tell Amare that the fro faux hawk is out.

To see or not to see Valkyrie. It looks good. It stars Tom Cruise. Read that: Pro, Con.

1:20 Probably only because we're spending time watching him like a hawk tonight but we just noticed that Luke raises his hand a lot on the court. Like "pick me, pick me, pick me!!!".

50.8 Probably only because we're spending time watching him like a hawk tonight but we just noticed that Luke wastes a lot of timeouts because as the best inbounds passer on the team he can't ever seem to inbound the ball. We cringe every time he does this, even if it is the end of the half and the timeout didn't matter anyway. Just sayin, because we're trying to retain some of the hate...

Every time we look at Steve Nash we can only see that bobblehead doll of his. So tragic.

53-48 The Sun continues to set, thank you


Halftime
Nothing here except to note that we hate Windows for always having some sort of malfunction and causing a restart and then sending that angry "your computer was shut down improperly" message. And, to state that one of us got an early tour of the Conga Room across the street from Staples and now we're both kind of jealous of everybody going to opening night tonight. But if you want to try to party with the Lakers we suggest starting there since it's across the street and stuff (oh and Trevor kinda owns it). Pro-ho tip of the week.


3rd Quarter
7:11 It's nice to watch everyone in Gold stand around and watch the Suns playing.

6:26 Ok, on first look Amare fell to the floor like a dumbass. Totally fake like he's auditioning for daytime soaps. But on second look, that for sure was Derek Fisher (president of the players association we feel like mentioning) straight up pushing him to the floor. Classic. Maybe it was just the way he fell down that made it fake looking?

5:whatever Oh snap! Luke Walton throws it down!!

Unfortunately we weren't paying attention to how it's down to a 1 point lead for the Purple and Gold. WTF?

2:28 Good grief. Our hearts can't take much more of this.

1:22 That's the kind of shit we're talking about! Trevor slams it home and then takes flight into the Laker Girls. Gets up, manages to catch up to the play but then gets slammed to the ground again on the other end. No whistles.

82-81 Uh, just barely though


4th Quarter
9:11 Get there Lamar!

7:19 Jordan gets the ball taken away from him. Expect him to do something ridiculous on the way back down the court.

5:26 It's so nice to see Kobe missing shot after shot after shot af...

4:58 Trevor puts the ball on top of the rim. Is there a column for "almost"?

3:58 Hot damn Andrew Bynum (needs a nickname)!

3:14 Not sure if we've seen Phil this upset all season.

1:36 Since the Tacos are obviously goners, we just want to state that the Lakeshow had better win this game tonight.

1:20 Nice save by Kobe too bad nobody wants to capitalize.

39.9 Machine camp. Machine shoot! It's money!!

29.3 Holy shit in a diaper this is Sasha's first trip to the charity stripe this year?

Jesus please make this game stop... we're gonna be here all night long =(

115-110 Lakers sometime past midnight or some such

Final Comments
Player of the Night: Luke Walton because we feel bad for making fun of him while he was at home and because he managed to not completely suck while kicking Vladi out of his job completely. Also because we may never have the opportunity to vote for him again this season. You never know with PB&J.

Game 2, Round 1, Lakers-Nuggets

We'll make this quick:

Solid game, could have been better. Kobe for 49, Luke for... 18? Lamar for, wait, Lamar had 4?

Lamar needs to learn how to handle his fouls like Kobe does, this was just as much his fault as it was the ref's fault. Own it Lamar. On the other hand it allowed our boy Luke to go out and have the game we've been waiting ALL FUCKING SEASON for him to have.

It's quite refreshing to know that we can beat a team in a combination of different ways, it seems like no matter who we bring in the game, no matter who's hot and who's not we can put it away. That comes in great handy in a best of series where you can keep your opponent guessing and adjusting.

Teh internets agree that the boys need to continue to sloooooooooow the tempo down. It's too fast, don't play like Denver, especially IN Denver. Why do they have a good home floor record? They run the shit out of the other teams to get them winded in the altitude and then just play mediocre ball, even a scientist could see that. Wait...


Best comment generated by this game:

I never saw a bigger bunch of babies than the Nuggets in these past two games. They crumble under the smallest amounts of pressure. I bet in the off-season (coming soon in two more games) they all make a pact to get "I hate refs and the Lakers" tattoos to match. Then they can have a nice group cry and a Technical Foul party where they take turns throwing each other out of the room. Sweet.

Comment by The Fanalyst at Forum Blue And Gold
Good game mention: Luuuuuuuuuuke! Keep.it.up.

Feel better Ronny, and come back!!

And your video for the day

Game 1, Round 1, Lakers-Nuggets

SUNDAY NIGHT WHITES!
No better way to start the playoffs, they look so polished :)



Things that apparently happened before the game:

The Nugget's bus caught on fire.

Coby's dad played football.

We kind of love how all of ABC's attention is on the Nuggets, silently implying that they are trying to get them some playoff coverage now since they don't really plan on having any time to do it later in the playoff season. That's fine, we'll take that.

Things that apparently happened during the game:

Denver played defense - just kidding!

Derek took matters into his own hands trying to do what the bus couldn't do... no specific harm Derek... no specific harm.

Errbody up in thurr got some fouls. Including a bunch of Technicals and a Flagrant 1.

Speaking of the flagrant 1 - what is it exactly that happens when the defender jumps into the air, yanks the offensive player (Luke Walton at that) down and then proceeds to eat more floor than everyone in the rest of the game combined? We may be new to basketball but that's got to be some sort of first.

Ejection!

Things that really shouldn't have happened during the game but apparently happened anyway:

Chanting D-U-I
I mean really? Have we become Utah Jazz fans? Have we become Denver Nugget fans? L.A and surrounding areas needs to be classier than this. Color us disappointed.

This

PB&J's interview. Have They not learned that he's not saying anything at all?

Things that need to happen next time:
Kobe playing basketball more like a professional athlete and less like the 45 year old guy at the gym who likes to "ball" with the "young cats". Anytime you're referring to your opponents as "young cats" and insist that you're going to "teach them how it's done" you're probably just too old to be doing such things and about to get embarrassed. We're not saying... we're just sayin.


Good game mentions (like a virtual pat on the ass):
We gusta Pau, Luke Walton (finally), & L. Odom

Play of the game:
Somewhere around 8:00 in the first when Kobe passes to Luke who immediately gives it out to Lamar who doesn't think he's got it so he sends it sailing over to Pau who puts it home! We could watch that replay aaaaaaaaaaall day long.

Pound-for-pound:
This isn't the East Coast playoffs, the Nuggets might not be amazingly brilliant but remind yourself of how many games separate them from the Lakers and then think about it again, solid game.

Lakers vs. Heat

We're not even blogging tonight because we're busy, but, we wanted to give a shout out to our combined players of the night: Kobe Bryant (over the head) --> Luke Walton (behind the back) --> Lamar Odom (for the dunk). Midway through the 3rd. Get There!

These boys played some ill ball tonight. Simply sick!

Top of the Western Conference what?

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

Lakers @ Hawks

This should be an interesting game, unlike the game yesterday. It could go either way, Kobe with the finger thing, Pau, the back to back...

This game is halfway over and Kobe's been standing around watching much the way his team used to watch him.

Luke seems to be having a good night. Which is good.

Not much commentary from us tonight because... well, because we are actually paying attention to the game instead of talking about uniforms and hairstyles.

The second unit gets a spanking from PB&J (well, Luke did), and then they go out and turn it around, but then the first unit comes in and uh... drops the ball. Literally.

Sasha needs one of those fancy adding machines, so he can know how many points he needs to score. Poor guy. But that's okay, maybe next time.

Me gustas Pau!

Our player of the night: Luke Walton for finally having a pretty okay night. It might seem odd to reward mediocrity with a POTN but, he has the highest +/- and we've been waiting for quite some time for him to not suck.

Son of Walton

A blog of quotes that are just as messed up as hilarious. There's some truth and some frustration. We stand in the middle of it all, we love Luke but some people think he doesn't even deserve to be called by his name anymore.


Anyway, because of a first half injury to Son of Walton (vaginal inflammation?), the Lakers were forced to use a lineup that I've been suggesting for days. This is what I said on Monday:

Simple solution to Son of Walton crapfest:
Shift Kobe to the 3 and start a backcourt of D-Fish and (heavy sigh) Sasha Vujacic. I can’t believe I wrote that, but Vujacic is a lot better offensively this year and his defense gets under the opposition’s skin. And Kobe at the three spot is a ton better than Son of Walton.

Well, son of Walton's case of sudden vaginal inflammation caused Jackson to make the change tonight and hopefully this'll shed some light on the Zenmaster. Until Bynum and Trevor Ariza return, the Lakers best chance is Kobe at the three, facilitating, passing and attacking from the post and sides of the court.

Son of Walton sucks. It’s gotten so bad that the Lakers post game show is praising Luke Walton when he plays semi-decentlyin spurts. After the game, people were cracking on him just a little (somehow this guy is immune to blatant criticism from Lakers Nation) and the host Matt "Money" Smith was like, “Well… the fist half was below average, but I felt he had a few good moments in the second half, so you can’t blame the loss on him.” Why the pass from Laker fans? When did Luke Walton become the retarded kid in third grade that we awkwardly put up with during reading sessions? People... it’s called a contract year! He got his big contract and now he’s fat, injured and lazy.

Melo was on fire at that point, feasting off the dead carcass known as Luke Walton (who's 3 more shitty games from losing the rights to the last name of Walton)

Top five players stealing money in 2007-08:

1. Luke Walton
2. Luke Walton
3. Luke Walton
4. Luke Walton
5. Luke Walton

Screw the NBA pedigree, screw the "high basketball I.Q." and screw the fact that he's coming off an injury (an excuse used by the Lakers postgame radio show), Luke Walton is flat out stealing money from the Lakers. Last season is looking more like the typical NBA player in a contract year. But I'll let the numbers speak for themselves: Walton, after signing a 6-year $30 million, rewarded the Lakers with a scoring average drop from 11.4 to 7.8 ppg., a field goal percentage drop from 47.4% to 45.4%, a freethrow percentage drop from 74.5% to 64.6% and a drop in rebounding from 5.0 to 3.7 rpg. He looks slower, his defense is worse and he passes aren't as crisp as in previous seasons.

As I've said before, Trevor Ariza needs to take Walton's place in the starting lineup. His energy, defensive effort and overall appreciation from the Staples Center fans are much needed in the opening minutes.




The Association should stop hating on the kid. Give him a chance to bail himself out of this before you strip him of his name. That is all.

Home isn't always where the heart needs to be

Patriots fans may be crass, but Los Angeles fans, and more specifically tonight, Lakers fans are down right abysmal. Bottom line to this one is that you don't boo your home team/players. If that's how you feel, stay at home. This is not the first time, even this season, that one of the Lakers have been unanimously booed by the "fans", first it was Kobe, at a time when it was really hard to stand up for Kobe as an outsider looking in, all you can see is this "leader" not leading. Still booing Kobe Bryant does you no good, unless you need to get your booing averages up.
Tonight was Kwame's night. He did play terrible basketball, let the record stand, but let's explore some things before we make up our minds. Kwame is fighting his way back to his fighting weight. Most people recover from injury slowly, not overnight because someone else at work got hurt, it just doesn't work that way. While he may not have been productive on offense, his defense was enough to keep us from being bent over the knee and spanked by the Suns whom we hate so much, which ain't half bad. He did manage 6 rebounds and 8 points. And if you're thinking the booing helped, it didn't, there's probably a good reason behind why he left without talking to the media or even his teammates after the game.

What's even more outrageous is the selectiveness of the booing. 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks against.That was Luke Walton's box score. That's downright pathetic. 1 assist for the guy who's supposed to be the greatest passer of all times (or of this time? or of the Lakers? or whatever?)? Just 1? Okay thanks Luke. 2 blocks against? Put the ball in the hole. 2 rebounds, that's not half bad. But what you won't see up there are points, that's cause he had none. None. In fact unless you got a DNP last night for the Lakers you got at least 2 points in your personal box, well, unless it was the case that your name was Luke Walton. Where was all of that basketball IQ he's got? WWBS?
Did Luke get booed? Nope. Is anyone even mad that a veteran of his nature SCORED NO POINTS? Don't get me wrong, we love Luke in all of his forum blueness, but you either show the class of the Jazz fans and boo Luke as well as Kwame or you be a good fan and support your team when the only player they've got left to fill a role is suffering through the end of an injury and the added pressure of having to play no matter what. One or the other Lakers fans. And since you're such great fans I know you're going to get all "but he's not the only option, remember Turiaf!" on me. I do remember Turiaf, I also remember that his championship gold gets him in a lot of foul trouble in a little playing time, so basically we can go ahead and say he's the other option and then when we've ended a quarter and a quarter of a quarter and he's fouled out of the game we'll then what? Forfeit? Kwame is our only option for now, with Ronny coming in to give him a quick breather, so support him or buy season seats to the Clippers.

Lakers vs. Pacers

A word before the game:
The Chargers brought it home tonight, time for the Lakers to handle business. It's raining in southern California which is not really our favorite but it's good to be at home in the warmth. Lamar is back, is this a good thing? Watching Stu get smacked into is kind of hilarious, do it again? YES! Now if Sasha can sink balls with that consistency tonight, we'll be good! Also, a side note to our BFF who lives in Indiana... bring.it.on.


Tip Off
Kobe, Derek,Lamar, Luke, Andrew - and it seems like the other team ALWAYS controls the tip off.


1st Quarter
10:35 So Kobe is gonna have one of those nights huh?

8:42 The bench is still standing as Indiana gets to 9.

7:55 Wow. Just wow. That's kinda far into the quarter.

6:56 "I AM THE COACH! I WILL YELL!"

6:22 Lamar and Andrew... good times.

6:10 A pair of T's for the Pacers... and Dunleavy = 3 (years old). Save the jumping up and down for the playground?

5:03 Once, twice, three times the Andrew!

4:33 Finally we're waking up... except for Luke.

2:46 Luke, FINALLY!

1:30 That would have been a sweet one for The Trev.

1:16 No, you may not take our Kobe with you.

43.1 Somebody did something on the floor, but more importantly Ronny is warming up early tonight.

33-23 Los Angeles


2nd Quarter
Coach O talks a lot.

9:42 Oh shit... time for the J & J show!

8:08 Let's try a new concept called Not Reaching.

Maybe we just missed it but what the hell did Turiaf even do for that T?

4:28 I can hear the refs yelling... nevertheless, there's no reason to hold when Luke still has the ball out of bounds.

4:12 Walton for the steal... but we didn't do anything about it.

3:30 Shirtwatch: Lamar Odom.

3:14 Pimp down!

1:46 Wonder if Andrew gets a bad case of deja vu on nights like tonight?

27.1 OOOOH! Luke Walton - we're amazed every time he makes a difference.

55-53 Still the Lakers


Half Time
Not too shabby so far, but if we can manage to spank the Pacers it'll help the Chargers with some state pride going into next week, so let's get it done, okay? Also it will make me sleep better. Indiana BFF is confused by this blog - there are two different people writing typing out the verbal comments we make during the game; it has no relevance to anything other than we felt like blogging.


3rd Quarter
9:24 OH SHIT. Watch your eyes Luke. Watch your eyes (staring down the ref won't do you any good tonight).

7:28
Lamar: Here Luke, your turn.
Luke: It's okay Lamar you can have it.
Lamar: Are you sure buddy?
Luke: Yeah, go for it, go team!
Lamar: Okay, go team!

5:17 We like where this game is headed.

Did Lamar just take and make a 3?

0.0 Jordan just notched an Almost!

Something - Something Else Lakers. We forgot to remember.


4th Quarter
11:06 NO PUSHING OUR JORDAN!

9:34 You can't handle The Critt.

Speaking of good commercials, the "Change" commercial from Southwest Airlines? Brilliant.

7:23 Oh dear...

That was a painful look on Kurt's face. Painful.

4:44 The starters seem to be cleaning it up nicely.

4:19 No way was Derek missing that one!

Oh no Luke - must make 2 free throws... must make 2... nevermind.

2:52 Derek pretty much just decide this shit for us.

1:48 Yay Coby!

53.7 TACOS for sure.

Thank you Luke. Thank you!

112 - 96

Final Comments
All starters in doubles. Good times on a Sunday night.

The Yay award of the night: Coby Karl. We like seeing him play even though it's garbage time.

The Do It Well award of the night: Andrew Bynum. We just love watching him play, and that new J.Lo song seems fitting.

The 10 Games award: The Lakers for being 10 games over .500!

Our player of the night: Luke Walton. When we talk trash on him, he goes out and proves us wrong. Well, if that's what we have to do for him to get it done, then we'll just keep on. But seriously though, 7 assists means he's on his way back to his "known for".

Lakers vs. Nuggets

A word before the game:
Kwame is injured, Karl is a D-Fender, PB&J will be the name of the game for at least 2 more years, and the Knicks just ate Shamrocks for dinner (if by "ate" we mean "Boston was all up in their face and kept them below 60". Shame.

Tip Off
D. Fish, RadMan, Kobe, LO, and Drew kickin' it off tonight.
Denver controls it.

1st Quarter
9:55 Thanks to Kobe the bench gets to sit down after a handful of trips down the court, and those folks that dished a few grand for some seats behind the bench get to see a little more than just championship gold warm up butts.

6:45 Drew throws it down, but Denver is owning this game with their mad steal skills. Steal skills - say that out loud.

5:56 (ish) Drew's first foul - Temper Tantrum level: Slight
Tender Ronny is in for RadMan cause I guess he wasn't rad enough.

I like all the ballers telling us to "Get Tested" and right after Jamie Foxx says something about African Americans they show Luke Walton. Does getting paid by the NBA give you an honorary Brotha card?

2:26 J.Far and Walton off the bench lets see if they can bring it home tonight.

1:54 Hey Kleiza no pushing!

Thought we might have another off night for Luke, but things seem to be shaping up for him, he may have figured out how to pass again. Farmar is picking up fouls at a solid Bynum-rate

33-21 Denver


2nd Quarter
Luke is chasing people around like they stole something from him. You know they wanna flat palm him.

9:33 Uh-oh... we'll hold our breath for now

8:19 Vujacic finally got it done!

7:50 Team rebounding is cute but if all of you are there to rebound you have to have someone to catch it when you tap it. That someone probably shouldn't be suited for the other team.

Be, aggressive, be be aggressive! (That was our cheer for J.Far who just went sliding down the court - we want to see more of the opposing team helping fallen players up off the floor, the more sensitive side of ballin'). And while we're cheering... what rhymes with "Tuck your shirt in Luke Walton"?

5:23 Could D.Fish be any better... looking... um, when he's handling the ball...?

When in doubt shout this out: Go with Fish, he just can't miss!

Almosttheend:ofthehalf We are finally in this game. Luke takes it, gives it to D.Fish, back to Luke, over to KB, back, Drew. Then... Luke to D.Fish for the basket. Then Luke brings it down the court over to LO, KB has it but Carter gets a whistle, so KB gives it to Fish who gives it to Drew and Kareem says cheese for the cameras. Turnover to KB for a no look to LO.

57-55 Denver


Half Time
Suddenly we have a chance? Some last minute rebounds by dear Luke, passing to er'rybody on the court and some balls down the hole. Drew needs a tutu for his spins. Luke is fired up and holy celebrity batman! KB just threw it down! Betcha didn't think he was gonna make that but it's Kobe, common now! Bringin it down to 2. Hey, there's Ariza, he looks comfy in those warm ups.


3rd Quarter
10:10 Denver looks frustrated. They didn't expect the boys in our favorite colors to come out of the locker room ready to take names?

9:39 Luke's back! (Stop licking your hand, you kiss your mother with that mouth?)

8:58 Drew gets his double double. Surprisingly one of those is not for fouls. Don't question it.

Who's in your fave 5? Not the guy in the blue shirt sitting behind Coach Karl. We'll call him Orangejello pronounced ore-on-gel-o. Why so orange?

7:21 Melo just shoved Luke to the ground. Hate the game not the player Melo. Hate the game.

Apparently PB&J held a charge practice, where they practice running into each other and falling. How can we get in on that? Wonder how many times we could run full force into an NBA player before we gave up...

5:45 Still wondering what rhymes with "Tuck your shirt in Luke Walton" but he's playing basketball like he was raised to do it or something, so we'll give him a pass... for now.

1:43 I guess we don't need to guard AI?

81-75 Lakers (even though we were up 14 at one point)


4th Quarter
11:12 We like Sasha's headband

Getting fouled on a 3 you were about to miss anyways is purrrty.

8:47 Luke goes for the wide open em ephin' 3. And it's good. Where's Mase when you need him... "Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back"

6:37 The Bench Mob must have read about themselves in the paper 'cause they came to play tonight.

6:18 Melo just got kicked out of the arena for domestic violence... is it "domestic" when you try to choke the ish out of an opposing player? It's okay, Sash is all smiles now that he's back to breathing normally. Out you go Melo... not melo enough.

We just noticed that we haven't seen many dance offs between Ronny and Ronny yet this season. What gives? But now J.Critt and Ariza - still in need of a nickname - just got up to stretch their legs. And somebody tell me why Mihms got up? Love him to death but he makes us wanna sing "This is why he's not". Sloppy sloppy Christopher. But we swear we're not Mihm haters.

2:17 PB&J is obviously feelin' pretty confident that we've got this one in the bag...

1:40 Spoke too soon on the Turiaf dance off. Welcome that back as well.

1:08 Trev to J.Critt and it's good. Holla!

Are they shouting "We want tacos!" ???? Oh yes, yes they are. And they get 'em.

127 - 99 Forum Blue!

Final Comments
Quote of the night from Basketblog (after the start of the 3rd when Walton went in with the starting line up): That clicking sound is a seat belt that is being installed on Vlad’s seat. That guy shouldn’t see the starting lineup for the rest of the year.

Our player of the night: Luke Walton. He came back on fire tonight, and with the best over average on the team (+25) and 14 points he should remember what a good night feels like and bring that same ish tomorrow.

See ya in Utah!
