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.
NOW ON TO THE PLAYOFFS!

Lakers vs. Jazz
A word before the game
We've done our fair share of internet trolling today to pass the time at work - er, we mean to uh, shit... the boss won't be reading this right? We came across a few things that bring smiles to the faces. This quote, "...and losing track of starting point guard Stephon Marbury for a couple of days in November." about Isaiah (who doesn't even need a last name any more because you know who we're talking about) pretty much makes us want to high five America.
Surely by now everyone has seen "Before The Bigs" the Luke Walton episode, but we felt like watching it anyway (it's all we're gonna see of him tonight anyway)... we almost forgot how much he is his fathers' son. Read that again.
Looks like Kwame gets some play tonight... this ought to be interesting... it's Friday and a holiday weekend so we'll be drinking!
Tip Off
Kobe, Andrew, Derek, Lamar, Trevor we forgot to look at who controlled the tip because Ronny was warming up - for Dance Dance Revolution, not that we mind but shouldn't he have been paying attention to the game?
1st Quarter
10:17 Here's a joke for the evening, "How many Lakers does it take..."
9:23 The Trev may just push his way into our hearts if he keeps it up!
8:06 SHOTS (though we admit Drew has been controlling his foul rate these days)
7:35 Kobe for the em ephin steal and the pass to himself. Who cares if he didn't make it, it was still quite awesome.
5:52 THAT'S FUCKIN' TEAM WORK! Funny how you can use the same joke from earlier and it's awesome this time.
5:28 Oh Andrew!
DWCC (Dwyane Wade Commercial Count) I
Kwame! Makin' a difference right away.
3:13 We weren't going to embarrass the Jazz by bringing up the "class" of their "fans" but since the announcers brought it up... we'd like to point out that we haven't booed them so heinously tonight in retaliation. That, "dear" people of Utah is how class sounds. (Booing at free throws does not count against your class rating).
1:31 That was smooth!
17.6 Kobe this isn't baseball - nobody's measuring the speed of your pass.
Useless stat alert: We just got a season high for points in the first 12 minutes.
38 - 23 Lakers
2nd Quarter
11:09 Ronny might make a name for himself in shot blocking in one game. Dare we say "Got Them Dos!"
8:53 Jordan and Ronny are having a back and forth love fest tonight. Can we join?
6:35 The do-over play for Radman..
6:08 Holla for J.Far. We should mention that we mostly just call him Hero after the end of the Knicks game the other day.
Oh hey, Luke will be getting some air time tonight after all, nice suit. We'll drink to you!
DWCC II
4:52 T for Sloan! Woohoo!!
4:14 I think every single person in Championship Gold touched that one.
We just gave them the T and they missed as well... can we insert a useless stat for this somehow?
1:15 Damn that one would have been sweet...
47.5 MVP MVP MVP
75 -48 Lakers of course.
Half Time
With the team playing so well we haven't gotten our drink on quite as much as we'd like. This concoction of Pumpkin Schnapps and Orange Juice is delightful, we might just have to drink to excellence. We are gonna go work on our "Bang Bang" dance (see Kobe highlights from the first half) and pray to the rain Gods that we keep up the show in the 2nd half.
DWCC III
3rd Quarter
11:10 Over the glass for Kobe. That's hott!
10:42 The Trev needs to work on his free throwing lest we push him to a stat sheet with Geriatric-Diesel.
10:12 It's been 30 seconds since we last commented on the free throwing of The Trev and it still stands...
9:54 He does make up for it quite a bit with his anticipatory skills though. Round of applause for that steal.
8:07 Phew! (That one barely went down)
DWCC IV (We abso-fucking-lutely hate this stupid commercial. Make it stop!)
4:19 Ariza had the smoothness to Fish who missed.
Girls wanna know: Why is every little thing a stat. Seriously? Should we also figure in bounces per game when averaging things? I mean, if you look at the ratio of baskets made vs. # of times the ball was dribbled per game it's gotta further prove the conspiracy theories surrounding the Lakers. I'm not a mathematon so I couldn't do this myself but I know it'll work out in the end.
3:44 What the hell is wrong with Hero's shorts as he's entering the game?
3:14 Time for Drew to calm down and tuck in his shirt.
We're gonna leave the C-note mark in the dust in 3 quarters time.
2:47 Andrew! =(
2:30 Lakers with the "around the world" pass. How many times can we go around the world in 24 seconds?
1:47 Tender Ronny with The Towel.
My god Hero looks short out there.
0.1 Hero for the not even necessary trois at the end of the quarter to make it:
106 - 74 Even though it's pretty early on, we're guessing Taco Chants will be starting very soon, and tacos are looking like a serious reality at this point.
4th Quarter
10:44 Trevor! We really want to vote for you for player of the night... don't fuck this up!
9:28 Dear Radman, What the hell was that?
8:37 Holy shit how many fouls does Kwame have now?
7:44 Don't start falling apart now...
7:17 Nice recovery for Hero.
Looks like the tacos might be going bye-bye?
J.Critt, Criptonite, Javaris in the game
5:59 PB&J has been pretty quiet tonight until now...
33 assists!
3:47 It's hard not to notice how much Ronny likes taking credit for fouling people. We're pretty sure he'd take credit for other people fouling people if he was anywhere near the action. Actually, he'd probably even try to take credit for fouling people if he was still sitting on the bench.
2:42 Take down a jersey number and beat him up 'cause there goes your tacos LA fans.
Ronny with the finger lickin' goodness and there's a pan of the bench... all the starters went on early vacation tonight. And once again "Hey, there's that guy..." Chris Mihm.
This game is so far over FSN has taken down the shot clock, game clock, scoreboard et al on the screen.
57.5 (We can only tell by looking at the in house time clock) They think they can still win this?
123 -109 4 in a row!
Final Comments
Holla atcha boys! We even got a smile from PB&J. We won't bother getting as excited as the Lakers did - oh wait...
We do actually understand the non-victory like attitudes they displayed, they pretty much let it go in the 4th. Good call. We got the W and that's what counts in the end. Anyway on with the awards of the night:
The Thank God He Didn't Choke On His Comeback Game award of the night: Kwame Brown. It's so easy to just go out there and chalk a shitty game up to being rusty and he didn't.
The "Hey there's that guy" award of the night: Defending title holder Chris Mihm. Seriously, Javaris got off the bench and this guy didn't. Yeah we know he played a game or two ago and didn't completely suck but seriously?
The It's Gonna Be A Long Trip Home award: Jerry Sloan & The Utah Jazz who in addition to just getting their shit handed to them in a potpourri bag have to face the Celtics next and it's not gonna be pretty.
Our player of the night: Trevor Ariza. He threw it down. No, it wasn't a spectacularly amazing game tonight for him personally but combine this game with that famous dunk up/posterization on Grant's Hill and he's more than earned this, besides, when isn't it awesome to actually like the newbie?
The "Oh shit did he just say that?" award of the night: PB&J for calling Luke out on his pending Wally Pipp status. Though we're sure he was joking and really, nothing coming from Phil's mouth should be surprising.

Lakers @ Nuggets
A word before the game:
We saw the game yesterday, no thanks to the fine broadcasting guidelines for San Diego County mind you, but with the team down and out we felt it unnecessary to comment on such ridiculous things as uniforms (okay not really, we were just lazy) and besides with no Drew how were we supposed to get our drink on?
Speaking of getting our drink on, for the rest of the season we'll be taking shots:
- Every time the game is broadcast on ESPN (make this one a double to get through the announcers).
- When the opposing team controls the tip off or jump ball.
Classy we know, but if people are going to be drinking to Intervention (we would never do that - honest) then we can drink to basketball.
First head shake of the night: Which of these idiots just said "... the Lakers are looking to snap a 3 game losing streak tonight?" Hi, they won last night.
Tip Off
Mihms, LO, KB, D.Fish and Luuuuuuuuuuuuke! Finally we get to see if the speculation is true that Luke is better as a starter. Aaaaaaaaand take a shot!
1st Quarter
9:50 Mihms is contributing!
6:08 IA (Idiot Announcers): Mihm seems to be warming to this team - you mean the one he plays on/with daily?
5:40 There goes dependable D.Fish again. In the whole.
2:49 Walton to Mihm, Mihm for the miss... we're trying here... real hard.
1:40 J.Far! He must have gotten up while we were on the phone planning Christmas decorating.
47.8 Kooooobe... don't push people down. Tisk tisk.
30.0 Bynum comes in, Melo knocks him over and then has a sit down to tie his shoes. Hmmm, that's less obvious that choking at least, right?
15.3 Hey, there's The Trev. Man, good night all around.
2.5 OH SHIT... KOBE GET UP!!
Okay that doesn't look good... looks like he's off to the locker room. How many people are going to end up on the ground tonight? Do we need to start drinking to that?
29-24 Lakers
2nd Quarter
11:28 J.R. Smith thought he was slick going around Luke and it's no good anyway. Just for that Luke threw it down on the other end.
Did you see Drew block that shit?
8:49 Yay, Kobe's okay, like Fish said, he's a warrior, but how cute was that little hand signal to whoever it was to?
7:43 Damn Radman, damn! Maybe he should just stand in that spot all night long?
6:45 Thanks for the shot Drew, we were getting thirsty.
6:31 - 6:06 Kobe with that crazy backward pass, too bad LO ruined the whole thing huh? But then we go after it again, and KB's shot looks a bit off, but no matter, Radman (the space cadet) gets it done! Holla.
5:01 Okay everybody point to your teams side of the court, last hand in the air loses.
4:42 IA: I've got a new name for the Cavaliers, the LeBroniers - are they honest?
4:22 Luke to Fish for the 3 for the miss. Luke to Fish for the 3 for the make. Just like that, they didn't even move their feet.
2:48 Player down!
2:10 Luke said, "I don't think so" for the block. Was that Luke? We were busy looking at our good friend Orangejello, we must find out who he is and ask him why he's so orange.
62-58 Lakers
Halftime
After much debate we've added an optional rule to the Forum Blue Drinking Game. Decide at the beginning of the game if you want to get tanked or just buzzed. If you answer tanked, then put this rule in play:
Pick a team. Each time a player from your team hits the deck, take a shot. If there's a 5-car pile up, drink if a member of your team is involved, double your drink if someone from your team caused the pile up. Can you tell we like to drink?
3rd Quarter
11:22 Kobe with the to-the-bench personal, but WTF? Iverson was just trying to get back at us for getting Melo ejected for his nonsense last week.
10:08 Luke with the to-the-bench foul, who's next? And how odd that this is not Drew we're talking about.
Let's get tattoos on our necks like Kenyon Martin!
7:58 Carmelo "Palmer" Anthony
We just realized there was no shirtwatch tonight, must be the Championship Gold that just can't be contained.
5:16 LO gets the to-the-bench foul. Oooooh, lets see if we can get the whole goddamn team to have this stat in their boxes.
2:02 Way to make the wide open Trev... oh wait...
34.9 Holla atcha boy J.Critt!
88 - that's the score.
4th Quarter
If either Fish, Mihms, or Jordan get another foul, I'll drink this entire bottle in honor of our 4 with 4.
9:13 Does Lamar Odom feel the extreme need to miss so many shots that I can't even notice the ones he makes? Is that a personal goal of his?
5:41 Goddamnit, Luke SHOOT!
5:14 Okay, but when you shoot, make the basket. This is like BBall 101 is it not?
4:24 Time to turn the bottle up... I think I'm gonna be sick :(
Dear Denver Fans,
While we think you are classes above Utah fans, we're sorta wondering why you're pointing to your Nuggets jerseys that you put on to honor the game you're sitting at. We know you like the Nuggets, now sit down.
2:20 Kobe to Drew just like back in the day. Now what?!?
2:05 Radman with the steal and the foul.
1:47 Lamar, shut your mouth, tell him Kobe, please.
Thank god we're not playing with the optional rule tonight, that bottle up drink courtesy of Fisher was ENOUGH! Btw, if Radman manages to get one more foul this game and everyone else keeps the same amount, there'd be a pretty cool column on the box score page. Something like: 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1
1:12 This just in, Kobe on fire, Denver not trained in firefighting.
23.2 Drew is a shot blocking machine tonight isn't he?
15.8 Me thinks that foul on Fish was a bad idea Mr. Nugget.
8.3 Dear J.R. Smith,
This is the NBA, not the NFL, no tackling please and thank you!
AI say: The Lakers end a 3 game losing streak - again with this? Nobody told them the first time they said this that they should probably check the records from last night? Idiots.
Final Comments
Our player of the night: Tough call, everyone was quite good tonight, but we're gonna go with Andrew Bynum. His shot blocking made us jump out of our seats more than once, plus without checking again we think he has the best over average tonight.
The Who Gave Them A Microphone award of the night: Whoever gave those announcers a job. Seriously, if they are going to pronounce names incorrectly and hand out false information on a national broadcast, they may as well let us be the announcers, at least we'll make you laugh.
Back to back wins on the road? So we CAN do it! Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Lets see what 3 days off feels like shall we?
We saw the game yesterday, no thanks to the fine broadcasting guidelines for San Diego County mind you, but with the team down and out we felt it unnecessary to comment on such ridiculous things as uniforms (okay not really, we were just lazy) and besides with no Drew how were we supposed to get our drink on?
Speaking of getting our drink on, for the rest of the season we'll be taking shots:
- Every time the game is broadcast on ESPN (make this one a double to get through the announcers).
- When the opposing team controls the tip off or jump ball.
Classy we know, but if people are going to be drinking to Intervention (we would never do that - honest) then we can drink to basketball.
First head shake of the night: Which of these idiots just said "... the Lakers are looking to snap a 3 game losing streak tonight?" Hi, they won last night.
Tip Off
Mihms, LO, KB, D.Fish and Luuuuuuuuuuuuke! Finally we get to see if the speculation is true that Luke is better as a starter. Aaaaaaaaand take a shot!
1st Quarter
9:50 Mihms is contributing!
6:08 IA (Idiot Announcers): Mihm seems to be warming to this team - you mean the one he plays on/with daily?
5:40 There goes dependable D.Fish again. In the whole.
2:49 Walton to Mihm, Mihm for the miss... we're trying here... real hard.
1:40 J.Far! He must have gotten up while we were on the phone planning Christmas decorating.
47.8 Kooooobe... don't push people down. Tisk tisk.
30.0 Bynum comes in, Melo knocks him over and then has a sit down to tie his shoes. Hmmm, that's less obvious that choking at least, right?
15.3 Hey, there's The Trev. Man, good night all around.
2.5 OH SHIT... KOBE GET UP!!
Okay that doesn't look good... looks like he's off to the locker room. How many people are going to end up on the ground tonight? Do we need to start drinking to that?
29-24 Lakers
2nd Quarter
11:28 J.R. Smith thought he was slick going around Luke and it's no good anyway. Just for that Luke threw it down on the other end.
Did you see Drew block that shit?
8:49 Yay, Kobe's okay, like Fish said, he's a warrior, but how cute was that little hand signal to whoever it was to?
7:43 Damn Radman, damn! Maybe he should just stand in that spot all night long?
6:45 Thanks for the shot Drew, we were getting thirsty.
6:31 - 6:06 Kobe with that crazy backward pass, too bad LO ruined the whole thing huh? But then we go after it again, and KB's shot looks a bit off, but no matter, Radman (the space cadet) gets it done! Holla.
5:01 Okay everybody point to your teams side of the court, last hand in the air loses.
4:42 IA: I've got a new name for the Cavaliers, the LeBroniers - are they honest?
4:22 Luke to Fish for the 3 for the miss. Luke to Fish for the 3 for the make. Just like that, they didn't even move their feet.
2:48 Player down!
2:10 Luke said, "I don't think so" for the block. Was that Luke? We were busy looking at our good friend Orangejello, we must find out who he is and ask him why he's so orange.
62-58 Lakers
Halftime
After much debate we've added an optional rule to the Forum Blue Drinking Game. Decide at the beginning of the game if you want to get tanked or just buzzed. If you answer tanked, then put this rule in play:
Pick a team. Each time a player from your team hits the deck, take a shot. If there's a 5-car pile up, drink if a member of your team is involved, double your drink if someone from your team caused the pile up. Can you tell we like to drink?
3rd Quarter
11:22 Kobe with the to-the-bench personal, but WTF? Iverson was just trying to get back at us for getting Melo ejected for his nonsense last week.
10:08 Luke with the to-the-bench foul, who's next? And how odd that this is not Drew we're talking about.
Let's get tattoos on our necks like Kenyon Martin!
7:58 Carmelo "Palmer" Anthony
We just realized there was no shirtwatch tonight, must be the Championship Gold that just can't be contained.
5:16 LO gets the to-the-bench foul. Oooooh, lets see if we can get the whole goddamn team to have this stat in their boxes.
2:02 Way to make the wide open Trev... oh wait...
34.9 Holla atcha boy J.Critt!
88 - that's the score.
4th Quarter
If either Fish, Mihms, or Jordan get another foul, I'll drink this entire bottle in honor of our 4 with 4.
9:13 Does Lamar Odom feel the extreme need to miss so many shots that I can't even notice the ones he makes? Is that a personal goal of his?
5:41 Goddamnit, Luke SHOOT!
5:14 Okay, but when you shoot, make the basket. This is like BBall 101 is it not?
4:24 Time to turn the bottle up... I think I'm gonna be sick :(
Dear Denver Fans,
While we think you are classes above Utah fans, we're sorta wondering why you're pointing to your Nuggets jerseys that you put on to honor the game you're sitting at. We know you like the Nuggets, now sit down.
2:20 Kobe to Drew just like back in the day. Now what?!?
2:05 Radman with the steal and the foul.
1:47 Lamar, shut your mouth, tell him Kobe, please.
Thank god we're not playing with the optional rule tonight, that bottle up drink courtesy of Fisher was ENOUGH! Btw, if Radman manages to get one more foul this game and everyone else keeps the same amount, there'd be a pretty cool column on the box score page. Something like: 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1
1:12 This just in, Kobe on fire, Denver not trained in firefighting.
23.2 Drew is a shot blocking machine tonight isn't he?
15.8 Me thinks that foul on Fish was a bad idea Mr. Nugget.
8.3 Dear J.R. Smith,
This is the NBA, not the NFL, no tackling please and thank you!
AI say: The Lakers end a 3 game losing streak - again with this? Nobody told them the first time they said this that they should probably check the records from last night? Idiots.
Final Comments
Our player of the night: Tough call, everyone was quite good tonight, but we're gonna go with Andrew Bynum. His shot blocking made us jump out of our seats more than once, plus without checking again we think he has the best over average tonight.
The Who Gave Them A Microphone award of the night: Whoever gave those announcers a job. Seriously, if they are going to pronounce names incorrectly and hand out false information on a national broadcast, they may as well let us be the announcers, at least we'll make you laugh.
Back to back wins on the road? So we CAN do it! Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Lets see what 3 days off feels like shall we?

Lakers vs. Magic
A word before the game:
There is no we tonight, it is just I. Longhorns @ Bears (you've seen the mascot right?) got off to an exciting start but I'll have to rely on the DVR to see how it ends. We agreed a long time ago that we like Josh Shipp (before we knew he was J.Far's roommate). "Lets jump Shipp". Is it advantageous to play the team you just got traded from? Wonder what Cookie, Mo, and The Trev have to say about that? I know he wasn't very contributing but I liked/miss Cookie a lot.
One last thing: SUNDAY NIGHT WHITES! Love those uniforms.
Tip Off
Kobe, Our Hero D.Fish, Big Drew, Rad Vlad & L-O L-O L-O L-O-V-E (yes, thats an Ashlee Simpson reference... forgive me)
1st Quarter
11:42 Get it Drew! Thats what we want to see all night long baby!
10:03 Radical!
6:43 Pretty low score across the bar so far.
6:19 Drew's first foul! I think his first foul deserves a shot. New game tradition.
6:11 Bye bye Dwight Howard.
And a nice little PS from our favorite announcers (thank God they're back - sorry ESPN), Drew has 2, go fig.
5:17 I'm going to refrain from Mihm hating and just wait until he produces something I can praise him for...
3:46 Kobe thinks he's at shooting practice? No complaints here.
3:28 Kobe just took flight to catch D.Fish's whatever you want to call that, may as well have been at half court and slams it in. Holla!
52.7 Looks like Cookie is already a Laker Hater. Knock KB to the floor and then stand there and look at him, good plan.
30-24 Lakers
2nd Quarter
11:52 Luke just went tap dancing on Mo's head. No hard feelings we swear.
Love watching the football passes.
8:26 Does Luke play so hard that his shirt comes untucked from movement, or does he order his shorts a size too large making it difficult for it to stay put? I really want to know... he's pretty much the only person who has this problem on a consistent basis.
7:39 Yes J.Far should have made that, but good hustle nevertheless Hustleman.
6:58 Kobe just nutmegged himself. I think someone else on your team was claiming that move already.
5:29 Drew just made a free throw in the middle of play. Effortless.
3:33 Kobe to Drew, "Here ya go." Drew to Kobe, "Thanks man, you're the best." They are so cute together.
2:47 Orlando just missed it 3 times in a row. Oops?
We're gonna have to get used to the fact that the boys rack up turnovers like they add to their own score or something.
1:31 D. Fish gets to redeem himself.
63-55 Magicians
Half Time
Lindsay Lohan seemed to be enjoying a quiet night in - only in LA can sitting courtside at a ball game be considered a quiet night. You can tell by the look on everyones face that they know what they need to do to get this done, but will they do it? Lets not repeat Utah, mmkay?
We learned some terminology today:
One Trillion (or any trillion for that matter)
Home Cookin'
And there's always a good time goin' on over at toomuch <-- you either know what that is or you don't. But phrase of the day has been "Duck duck duck duck duck duck boom tho!" That doesn't have much to do with anything other than the fact that I wanted to mention it. Hmmm, is it pronounced communiKAYtive or communiCUHtive?
3rd Quarter
11:05 (thats 55 seconds into the half) Drew gets his 3rd. Take a shot everytime he gets fouled for the rest of the season. Drew, don't get us love drunk off your humps please.
9:13 Fish is an effective but quiet player. He gets it done though.
7:27 See what I mean? FOR THE LOVE OF (&?) BASKETBALL STOP SHOWING US THE TWO SIDES OF DWYANE SPELLING ERROR WADE PLAYING BASKETBALL. THIS IS LA, WE DON'T CARE. K, THANKS.
4:15 Jump ball 'cause theys be brawlin', not ballin', brawlin' on the ground. Does Kobe take dance classes with his daughters to learn that fancy footwork? Dancing with the Stars anyone?
I'm glad somebody else thinks the Utah booing of Derek Fisher was as ridiculous, disrespectful, and disappointing as we did. Seriously WTF Utah?
What just happened in the FSN commercial where I think they were making LO (or was that Kwame? I was barely paying attention), LW, and DF "rockstars", but all they did was walk to the spotlight, look up, and then look at the camera? Note to self: Must go to Sports Chalet for roadtrip.
32.2 Get up Ronny... now stand up straight... that doesn't look very good :( Fix it Vitti! 77-75 Orlando - are they owned by Disney like the entire town they are from (even though knowledgeable folk know that Disney is in Lake Buena Vista NOT Orlando)? 4th Quarter
11:12 Somebody tell Jordan that he can socialize with The Laker Girls after the game is over.
10:54 Mihms for the make!
9:33 No comment.
Shirtwatch 2007 - officially we're going to take shots every time Luke's shirt is untucked now.
6:09 Kobe with the assist goes to the ground and LO drops it in.
5:12 Jordan DOIN THE DAMN THANG! No matter the outcome.
Shirtwatch: Only this time I'm pretty sure someone almost ripped it off of him.
Patrick Ewing got fat. I only mention this because people very very regularly think my dad is Patrick Ewing and um, I'm pretty sure that won't be happening again anytime soon.
2:25 Ronny has a concussion. Not happy.
1:44 There goes the tacos.
18.3 I'm not really sure how it is that we're set up to lose this one right now but that's what it looks like.
17.2 Fish or someone (I find it hard to watch this now) just took a seat at the scorers table. Why not rest right?
Hey, I thought we were gonna see The Trev play tonight because he knows the Magic's style?
104-97 Magic
Final Comments
Nice losing bookends for Saturday... as nice as losing bookends can be I guess. At least it wasn't a shameful loss though. Listen to some TuPac on your drives home gentlemen... Keep Ya Head Up.
Our player of the night: Derek Fisher. He may have only had a handful of points but he's so smooth with it. And he was such an amazingly collected person after being booed by the Utah assholes the other night and didn't let that affect him one bit, how could we not vote for him?
Proof that LA fans are better: Booing Lindsay Lohan who's obviously working on her "health" from the side of the court instead of booing people who put their family above little orange balls.
The Get Your Act Together award of the night: NBA.com and the UCLA Bruins tie.
