Can we all stop yakking about how the Lakers' schedule is light? It'll even up later in the year which is when it matters anyway. Let's see how the back to back treats them again, last time fared pretty well. It's a Friday night and we're getting ready to go out and celebrate so commentary might be light, sporadic, or ridiculous. Wait... it's always ridiculous.
A word before the game
We've figured out what to stick into the half time comments section - we're going to go play with the live ball thingy (what the hell is that called) and find either the best or the worst player out there, depending on our collective moods. Anyway, this game should be exciting because, even though this not the first time we've seen the Nuggs, this is a new Nuggets team. We only wish that Son-of-George was here still =(
Ooooh, live blog over at ForumBlueAndGold.com (go there) we might be really really distracted tonight!
1st Quarter
10:47 Nene? More like Nono!
9:46 Ok, Derek Fisher might redeem himself from last nights nonsensical bullshit shooting.
6:47 Lets try a newfangled concept called "hanging onto the ball".
Kobe misses the dunk again, that's why we talked about two hands. TWO HANDS.
41.5 Oooooooh what??? Mmmm, Kobes to Trevor instead of a jumper. Tonight's gonna be delicious.
35-20 Homeboys
2nd Quarter
10:45 Wow! That might have been a tragedy, Jordan missing the dunk and all but good lordy Andrew found his way back on the break and finished it up.
10:20 Hot damn! Jordan fucking Farmar!
9:40 UCLA is on fire tonight! It's purr-ty.
8:56 Goodness gracious great balls of fire the Nuggets can't even take our turnovers out of our paint.
8:25 Comment of the night "... goes to Sasha, too close for him obviously because that was a great look" Thanks for pointing out that Sasha's almost no good when it's not a 3 pointer Joel.
6:20 It only took like 6 tries before we could figure out that it wasn't going in.
4:53 Kobe? Short? That's ok, he'll just rebound it himself and run it in to the hole.
Holy crap, when did Josh Powell get into the game? Who even cares he just blocked the shit out of that shot and sent us right back up the court.
3:27 Wow, the Nuggets just had the best play of their entire game, block on Farmlife and a behind the back to someone for an actual basket!
2:34 Why don't the Nuggets just get Kobe's autograph and get on the plane?
1:58 No seriously, he'll sign it for you if you ask nicely.
Why does Derek Fisher always look like he has no idea what's going on or where he even is whenever the whistle gets blown and he has the ball?
67-47 Is it even fair anymore at this point?
Halftime
Typically we'd be playing with the live ball thingy (if by typically we mean we meant to start today) but today we're going to catch up on the live blog over on ForumBlueAndGold.com. good times! See ya in a bit.
3rd Quarter
Hmm, 3rd q not off to a great start but there's D.Fish not knowing what the heck is going on again.
6:47 Uuuuuuuh, guys? Radman?
Ok good Chrissy's gonna keep him company on the bench. In other news, Mbenga looks Mbored in his nice suit.
5:28 Ooooooooooooh! That would have been good! But nice effort Fish and Trevor.
Dante Jones did not get the charge however, so get up offa the floor.
3:25 Did they take naps at halftime? Is that why they were so sluggish? No matter, we're back in the game now.
2:50 Good lord! It's a jump ball. (Have we seen more of these this season than last?)
Can we just call in the Garbage Pail Kids and watch the 4th quarter be an actual game instead of the Lakers having an Atlanta college based stomp show with the Denver Nuggets as a floor.
88-67
4th Quarter
10:42 Great turn over Sasha.
8:34 Did we pick Trevor for the most steals tonight or Jordan?
7:30 Pretty close to most of the quarter, here comes the GPK!
Here's why we love to hate on Luke. He had the ball - and while we get that he's praised for his passing ability this is where it hinders the team - he passes, gets it back, passes with the shot clock coming down forcing Jordan to take an ill advised shot which gets blocked and then Trevor has to try to recover the ball/possession and gets a foul. He just needs to be a little more... selective (?) when making the passing vs. shooting decision.
5:35 What in gods good name is Coach Karl wearing?
We just LOL'd so hard at Jordan's Next Gig! Love it!
"I'm a little one huh?"
5:19 Is everyone cheering for Luke's time out because he couldn't get the ball in bounds? Confused.
4:45 Holla atcha boy Jordan Farmar.
4:11 Trevor just kinda nonchalantly throws it up at the buzzer and it's freakin GOOD!
Time out city! Stu probably has a fence to paint or something y'all. Knock it off.
2 minutes. 2 minutes remain in this ball game. WE WANT TACOS!
104-90 Yummy
Final Comments
Yo. This game was gold. Did anybody even remember that it was the second of a back to back? Nope. We forgot Kobe was in the building during the 4th quarter, in fact, watching him give the after game interview without a single drop of sweat on his face is kinda awesome.
Player of the Night - Hmmm, good question, we're gonna go with Jordan and Trevor. UCLA!
We're staying by the TV late to watch Jordan playing around in Hollywood. It looks hysterical, like he's the guy you want to spend all day with doing silly shit. More proof? Find him sitting on the scorers table during the useless timeout Walton had to call, while everyone else does stuff to stay warm or whatever. Brilliant.

79 (Lakers vs. Clippers)
What is being called (for the Clips) The Nightmare at Staples part deux is set to tip off tonight. No since beating a dead horse with a large stick or anything but, here's hoping this one is not as boring as the first one.
A word before the game
Barack's the president (elect, although not officially yet), we're jealous of the first daughters like you wouldn't believe, Andrew's shoulder is just fine, and it's another of the best of the best of L.A. only this time the home crowd will be cheering for the real home team. Oooooh who are we kidding? We're so obsessed with the new presidency that we can't even control oursleves and doubt we have much to say about basketball, but here's hoping. Happy almost birthday Lamar!
Starting Lineup
Kobes, Drew, Fish, Pau, Vlad
1st Quarter
Andrew takes the tip easily - get used to hearing that one this season.
11:21 Kobe starts the game off right!
9:58 You don't take rebounds from Andrew, ever.
9:34 Drew might make himself our hero tonight, keep an eye out.
Can we give Dunleavy a T and move on with the game already?
It's kinda amazing how changing the color of the floor makes it look like a totally different arena (vs. when it was Clippers home floor).
3:04 Okay, I'll totally admit that we're job hunting in Washington D.C. right now, whats say we just meet back here after halftime?
2:42 Wow Vlad, wow... thank god Fish was on it!
1:52 Pau with the turn over =(
1:27 UCLA!
Awwww, Kobe tells Trevor to relax at the line. So adorable!
52.5 "HEY HEY HEY HEY". Uh, guys... Jordan can't inbound the ball if you're all on the other side of the court.
29-27 Clippers?
2nd Quarter
10:09 Ooooooh snap! Can we have a replay on that? So much going on, people on the floor, Trevor slammin it home, what?
Oh yay! Another pointless celebrity audience interview... bahahahahhahaha - Cole Hamels' voice is awful, I can't even breathe, he sounds like he has a gerbil stuck in his throat that mated with a frog... let's talk about nothing important at all while the game is going on and we'd rather be watching that, sounds good!
7:42 Cole's still rambling on... but why don't they give the big men more room to sit down on the bench? They couldn't find larger chairs?
6:06 Omg Sahsa's headband is out of control right now, he needs to keep a hair dresser on the bench with him... we hear Luke is looking for a job.
Kobe's baby white shoes, never seen the light of pavement. Are those indoor shoes only?
5:13 LA! (That's Trevor if you've not been paying attention)
4:45 Someone just made a comment about how they obviously trust Ariza, yeah I'll say just blindly throwing something up and expecting Trev is going to be there to dump it is is trust.
Might as well JUMP! Go ahead and JUMP!
Ooooookay, what is the deal with the NBA election results? Is this supposed to be hilarious.
51-47 Clippers still
Halftime
Reeeeeeeeegroup!
3rd Quarter
Okay, I think we've gotten our job hunting out of our system. Lets focus on the game...
10:51 He was a baller, a shot staller, we call Andreeeeeew.
10:24 Ooooooh snap yo! Derek and Kaman are "having words". Why did Bynum get a T? What are we missing here? Jeeeeesus, he got T'd for coming to the aide of a teammate. Loves it!
9:53 Radman lets the entirety of the Clipper floor run passed him before he sends the ball up to the rim.
Can we stop referring to a player's lenght as some living thing? Please?
7:57 Holla!
6:32 This ain't gymnasties Derek, but nice hustle.
Drew's kinda secretly on fire tonight.
3:28 Even though they're winning right now the Clippers don't look very good out there.
2:22 Vlad you can't sit on the Clippers bench.
I just remembered this from the first half but at one point Lamar was doing some reindeer type of run where he was "running" but taking stunted steps. What the heck?
Uh, not sure what the score was but I'm pretty sure we were leading! Finally!!
4th Quarter
9:49 Farmlife!
Woah, where'd Walton go? Haha, that's like Where's Waldo. I smell a new game developing. Details later... but he was in the game for a sec right?
9:19 Lamar gets the calm down stick. CALM DOWN!
8:19 Guys, we can't let the Clippers win this ok? I don't care if they have a better team than they've ever had, it's still embarassing.
Oh crap we forgot to set our picks for the Lakers Fantasy Game =(
6:38 Irrelevant but Jordan is bright red right now.
6:12 Oh snap, just when we thought we were going to be giving the POTN award to someone else J missed his shot, picks up his own rebound and goes and drops it in. Hmmm, might he be campaigning for a streak?
5:45 It's a litte late to be showing up, but I guess it's better late than never?
4:20 That's fuckin' teamwork!
3:13 OH! LO!
2 minutes. 2 minutes remain in this ball game. But what he really meant was 2 minutes. 2 minutes before the Clippers can go home with another loss.
Oh hey Luke.
41.1 Wow is it empty up in there!
So Lakeshow wins it again. 4-0 Let's see what the scores gonna be...
8.4 Uh.... we can't have Jordan injured so enough of that okay?
106-88 Lake show!
Final Comments
Rick Fox is a broadcasting mess! But we love him even still.
Okay, best thing ever... and if you don't have 24 seconds to watch that video clip... Jordan is doing his post game interview in the locker room and Luke bumps into Jordan on purpose and Jordan comes with comment of the night, "Nice, Walton! Way to play 3 minutes tonight!" Nevermind his back pedal afterwards about him being his homie and all of that garbage, that was the best thing EVER. Good Lord.
Jordan gets to keep his award for that comment alone!
Thank you and Good night =)

80 (Lakers @ Nuggets)
The first real road game of the season! The question lingering is: Is this a team we who can make a legitimate game of tonight's affair or is this just another "easy win" for the Lakers?
A word before the game
Tonight's game question via text is, "Which was more significant: acquiring Pau Gasol or extending Andrew Bynum?" I'm sitting here yelling at James Worthy on my television because he seems to think that it's absolutely Bynum. Well, here's the thing, I'm not saying that it was not important to retain Andrew (obvi) buuuuuuuut, we wouldn't be here in this giddy position if it weren't for Pau last year. While it would still be fun times at Lakerland with Andrew back this year, it wouldn't be nearly as comfortable (not that it's comfortable... what?) without Pau. So no James Worthy sir, Pau was the more important issue. Thanks for playing.
Starting Lineup
KB, DF, AB, PG, VR
1st Quarter
10:52 I see we're off to a tragic start tonight...
8:35 So 0-7 is a nice way to get underway with this game.
7:15 Pau is awake!
4:20 Sorry, I've been snoozing so far, but nice shot clock violation.
ORANGEJELLO!! Our friend is back. Woohoo, I knew there was a reason to like playing the nuggets.
1:16 A Garbage Pail Kid in the 1st quarter? Though Luke did bail us out last year when Lamar got in foul trouble hella early, more than once.
Wow, lets see if the second q can make me pay attention to the screen?
2nd Quarter
10:36 Machine shoot!
10:17 Machine um, well, what was machine doing again?
How is the game tied? I haven't been watching so it's hard to know if the Nuggets are any good of or we're being awful.
8:26 Pau's arm is okay to go. Phew!
Pretty sure Drew Drew touched that one but shhhhh.
7:12 THE TREV! (would have been better if it went in but the taste Anderson got there was sufficient enough)
5:51 Now we're hustlin'.
Andrew makes Duncan Face and gets a sit down pass to the bench with his 3rd.
4:17 Hmmm, Kobe's 3rd. Well, if anyone in this league can afford to have all of it's starters benched with 3 fouls its us so lets see how our depth chart holds up huh?
2:28 Josh Powell
1:46 D.Fish doesn't like 2's, whats say we only give him the ball when he's beyond the arc?
1:33 Apparently mouth guards don't need to be worn inside of your mouth anymore.
52-46 Nuggets
Half Time
Waaaaay too many fouls right now. The boys need to take a nap, do some yoga (namaste) or whatever they need to do in order to regroup at half time, we may not get a blowout win but they need to handle business. Don't let the sweep in the post season be called a fluke. Beat the drum Phil. Beat the drum.
3rd Quarter
Like 2 seconds into the half or whatever - Foul :(
11:19 Radman picks the ticks off of Drew's head as he gets called for his 4th. WTF y'all.
10:28? Vlad'd better make all 3 of those free ones or he's getting disowned... disowned.
8:54 This is starting to look depressing. I'm going to have to start talking smack in about another minute.
8:12 You won't win your way back into my heart with one shot Vladimir. Nope.
6:12 Sometimes Lamar, sometimes you have to just take the shot and stop sharing the goddamn rock.
4:54 Derek Fisher mopping up the floor - because somebody's got to.
3:58 Hit it Radman!
3:18 D.Fish lost his clutch I guess?
2:15 Pau has to be the second most awkward fast-breaker on the team (Post Up Walton is the first in case you weren't with us last season).
1:44 Ooooh Trevor.
1:37 It's fine Kobe, we don't need you to like make your frees or anything. Don't even worry about it.
0.55 Jordan around the back to Pau with interference and it's good! Where the eph has Jordan been all of this time? Lets get it runnin UCLA style already.
76 All - For cryin' out loud y'all.
4th Quarter
Birdman looks straight up nasty. No further comment.
9:47 Andrew gets to play himself out of the game. Good time to teach lessons Phil.
9:18 Does Stu hear himself when he talks? "They're right where they want to be." Doubtful.
Trevooooooooooor!
8:01 It's like the Lakers finally showed up for the game... make the freethrows Lamar, make them!
6:49 Kobe from doooowntoooown. Obviously ready to take over the game now. Let's go.
How many of those can he drop in a row? Let's count...
3:22 Lamar had no business taking that and he knew it. Good thing Kobes was there to clean it up.
Hahahahaaaaaaabaahabbbbaaa! Was that Joel or Stu that just stat cursed Melo at the charity stripe? Whoever it was, I love you!
1:50 Oh snap! Kobes.
55.3 "Kleiza sending the wrong guy to the line." Joel Myers - Preach.
Oh snap y'all. Holla.
=)
104-97 Lakeshow as it should be.
Final Comments
Okay, so to answer the question above. Denver was a team that could give us a game, but we still manhandled them in the end. Woo! However, with such sloppy play and such foul trouble the "Home Opener Killers" didn't make us or (I'm guessing) Phil very happy. Let's chalk this up to a kinda lucky win and go home and concentrate. Good idea.
Player of the Night: Jordan Farmar, but really just because nobody else could really take it away from him from last game. Nobody was really spectacular tonight.

81 (Lakers "@" Clippers)
A tale of just the one city but with 2 teams. Home, but away, but still at home. It's kinda like when you're 30 and you go home to visit your parents. You're home but away from home, but you know... it's still like, home and stuff. Totally. Only in California do you get to play as the away team on your home court (facts not checked thoroughly and probably not at all)!! I looooooove LA - even if Randy Newman was "kidding".
A word before the game
As luck would have it K is busy tonight supporting her new love and I (S) am blessed with the KCAL 9 broadcast!!! I'm ready for this, ready to blog about the game all by myself. Lets see if we can make some freethrows tonight. Not that we were particularly bad at it last night or anything, but THEY'RE FREE. How do you pass up on something that's free? Answer me!

Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Vladimir Radmanovic, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum - that's my guess anyway.
1st Quarter
Lakers control it (yay) and Pau tips it in for the first bucket of the game. Heeeeeere we go!
11:08 Andrew makes it rain. No pun intended.
Deeeeeelaaaaaay of game. Can we start charging players personally for those? It means we have to sit watching the game longer, we should be getting some money back.
7:47 Ew, someone's beard on the Clippers bench was not cute. If by "not cute" Imean naaasty, who was that?
Oh, it was Skinner. Not dateable.
5:57 Derek Fisher, hot like fiyah! Well, I guess, we'll have to wait and see.
Love Phil standing up looking on disapprovingly. I've missed that so much.
5:12 WHAT? Somoene put a stop to the nonsense on the Clipper bench. Kobe? Fish? Bueller?
4:11 What is everyone pointing at?
The crowd is at full throat tonight, as was expected from the best of L.A. crowd.
3:07 Baron Davis go to the corner. Derek go to the line.
1:44 Wow. Just wow. Why don't we just go home and let the Clippers practice their jumpshots for 3 quarters?
56.3 Now might be a good time for us to excerise some of all of that "depth" we've been bragging about. Phil?
Buzzer: Trevor puts it down, to untie the score finally.
30-27 I think - Lakers
2nd Quarter
Bench mob time. Time to run it and gun it.
9:25 Not the smoothest way to steal a ball but whatever gets it done I suppose.
8:37 Machine camp. Machine shoot.
6:50 UCLA! I guess that makes Jordan "UC" and Trevor "LA"? Love it!
Why does UCLA look so pissed off?
6:22 Ball don't lie y'all. I wasn't paying attention to why those freethrows were awarded but it's been too long since I've been able to say that.
Question on the replay into commercial. Is it easier to rebound sitting down?
4:58 Farmlife!! Swoosh.
I guess nobody cares that Kaman just ran over Trevor?
3:05 Early appearance for one of the garbage pail kids - lets see if Luke can be productive tonight.
1:45 Heres the thing... Yes, Fish made the shot, but... stop pull up jump shooting on fast breaks. STOP IT.
Walton is being productive so far. Let that not be a curse.
36.9 Deeeeeereeeek Fiiiiiisheeeer. Delicious as always. I'm going to build a shrine to his wonderful bald head.
Fumble! Is this Football? Or would you call that a scrum? Soccer?
Okay, I'm not sure if anyone saw this or not but while Kobe was winding down the clock on that second to last posession, he motioned for Luke to head to the corner 3 spot (you know by the bench). His leisurely stroll was one for the ages. This ain't no Sunday afternoon in the park darling. Running will not be penalized. Just sayin'.
59-44 Men of the Lake
Half Time
Quick quiz: Whats the worst fast break you've ever seen?
Answer: Luke Walton to Derek Fisher
I'm trying to get my Barack Obama commercial on during half time, so I really have nothing more to add here, see ya in a bit...
3rd Quarter
Watching D. Fish Sunday Stroll across the mid-court line is getting real old, real fast.
10:32 Good pass (Thornton me thinks)
10:18ish Andrew could probably walk an Olympic beam with those balancing skills.
9:16 Oh now the Clips wanna show up and guard Kobes. Quiet the crowd Kobe, quiet the crowd.
Lakersfunfacts.org: Vladi has a hairy chest.
7:36 Why does Andrew always look like he's going to tell Mom when he gets calls against him?
6:40 I guess we're gonna let the Clips get hot tonight, that's fine I suppose, gotta entertain the home crowd for a bit.
OMG B. Davis' Granmama!
I missed D. Fish's whatever that was, I'm guessing it was a dunk since everyone is up in arms about it.
I'm gonna start charging these guys for over and backs as well. Just cause.
4:13 Well, unless it's because Andrew is blatantly pushing you back over there.
3:20 Kobe steps through a Clipper body window to toss the ball up and in.
I thought the Clippers were better than this this year? If this was going to be the case, why show up? It's only a matter of minutes before Stu starts talking about the fence he needs to paint. Come to think of it, his wife should probably go ahead and hire someone to get that done already.
This ain't 7 seconds or less Trevor, slow it down just a bit.
1:09 MVP! MVP! I mean, what team is the crowd there for?
Quote of the night just now: Do you think it's bothersome to roll up in Staples Center and look up to see the Laker banners hanging and then look down and realize your uniform reads "Clippers"?
85-57 Yeah thats really the score, who do you think is winning?
4th Quarter
Lamar looks hurt? Oh nevermind, that was just an overreaction.
10:47 Look at the Clippers getting points. Heh.
10:28 Jordan Farmar, thats mah boy!
Are we going to have to add a shot rule to the drinking game for "everytime the game clock is missing from the broadcast"? Lets get it together.
9:25 And while we're at it, everytime they silence the broadcast for 5 seconds after we all hear the cuss word from whichever player. Classic.
8:25 Chrissie! I'm not sure who in my life started calling him that, but it made me laugh so hard that I can't call him anything else anymore.
7:53 That would have been an awesome play if it had been completed, the almost play, Sasha to whoever to Trevor. Tastes like an unbaked cookie.
7:35 Sasha with the behind the back to um, oh crap I suck at paying attention, was that Jordan?
Now Lamar's playing with the basketball like it's kid sized. This is a straight up laugh fest at the Clippers expense.
101 -68, when did that become the score? Good god Clippers.
This is what the Lake Show is all about. Hollywood Basketball if you will.
5:58 Garbage Pail Kids!! I'm going to go ahead and say that officially, the GPK is Chrissie, Lukie, and Joshie, with space for DJ and anyone else from the Bench Mob who falls asleep. The starting lineup needs a cutesy nickname.
4:04 Holy shit! Luke to Jordan who apparently got some red bull wings tonight (doesn't he have a cold?). Yeah, holy shit, those were some HOPS.
3:03 GPK is going to work son. Staples is empty.
Heres't the thing about GPK and, I'm sure I already said this yesterday, but... only on the Lakers (and mmmmmaybe on the Celtics) are they going to be the guys on the end of the bench. You find me another team in the league where you'd put Luke, Chris and Josh on the end of the bench and I'll show you a lie. God it's good to be a Laker fan right this moment.
Another random note: Can we get tacos if we're the away team? The score is pretty ridiculous right now. I don't even want to talk about it.
29.0 I know Luke wants the nutmeg (betwixt the legs) to be his signature pass but he needs to make it work a little bit better before we'll just call him Nutmeg instead of Traffic Cone
Okay, I have to admit, Jordan giving interviews after games is really awesome. Who needs to talk to Kobe anymore?
Uhhhhh 117 - 79 (or pretty much nothing)
Final Comments
Things its really too early in the season to be saying outloud but I'm saying them anyway:
- Chrissie is about half a game away from losing his "Hey there's that guy" title.
- An undefeated season in the NBA is actually possible.
- The Garbage Pail Kids are going to kill someone this year.
- Luke isn't going to be a Traffic Cone this year.
Player of the Night - Jordan Farmar because he is a catalyst. If Sarah Palin hadn't ruined it we'd call him a maverick.
Play of the Night - Luke to Jordan for a put down and an around the world tour of the rim before he drops to the ground.
The "Hell Yeah Bitches" award of the night - The Bench mob, because, well... Hell yeah, bitches!
Quote of the night - "Obviously you guys think you can win every single game this season" - Whoever, interviewing Jordan after the game. Damn right.
Sidenote of the night - Warriors were hangin tough with the Hornets tonight, we were both pullin for them to kick through this one... the season is young.
A word before the game
As luck would have it K is busy tonight supporting her new love and I (S) am blessed with the KCAL 9 broadcast!!! I'm ready for this, ready to blog about the game all by myself. Lets see if we can make some freethrows tonight. Not that we were particularly bad at it last night or anything, but THEY'RE FREE. How do you pass up on something that's free? Answer me!

Games 2, 3, 4 Lakers - Jazz
Game 2 - win. Enough said.
Game 3 - lose. But it was close enough to realize that we weren't honestly going to make it to the finals undefeated, so suck it up and lets move on.
Game 4 - lose. Very close, a few wrong moves and ... oh hell. Here's the dish. We were watching the game with people who don't like the Lakers. In fact 2 of these people actually HATE the Lakers, but there was a complete agreeance on one thing: the refs sucked the life out of that game. Rather than rehash everything that went wrong or anything that went right, we want to take a minute to talk about something else.
Jordan Farmar
Unlike the rest of Laker fans we're not going to take a day to hate on him. Instead we thought we'd point out the good he's done this year. Without him running the second unit for most of the year we wouldn't be here. So often this year it's been either the starters or the bench mob who've secured a game for us. Not often enough could you bill a win to the entire team. Which means, you have to give a bunch of credit to Jordan.
That said, a lot of people seem to forget that he's only in his sophomore year in the league. Frankly we'd be concerned if he wasn't having trouble defending the Jazz. If you watch closely enough, Derek Fisher is having trouble with the same guys. Oh, wait, you don't have to watch that closely. Notice in the past 2 games when Derek has left the floor early in the 1st quarter it's been Jordan who gets up off of the bench.
We're not gonna sap fest but since we're the self appointed joint presidents of the Stop Hating On Jordan Farmar & Say His Name Right As Well campaign we wanna say, "Stop hating on Jordan Farmar, and learn to sayhis name right as well!".
We still love you Jordan, Farm Life, J-Farm, Jordy, and you're still our hero!

Lakers vs. Blazers
A word before the game:
We've been gone for a minute, now we're back for the jump off...
Or something like that, but the real news here is that we've been winning!!!!
Tip Off
Bryant, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, Walton (don't let us down darlin')
Who is that we see boxing on the bench?
1st Quarter
11:14 Luuuuuuuke!
9:11 Boys are playing solid so far.
8:03 Don't make Kobe mad!
7:00 After a Walton sandwich during offense Luke must learn to pull up his pants, shorts, whatever.
5:52 Kobe's not hot.
4:22 Thas what ahm talkin' 'bout baby! (Please find an interview of Ronny saying this, it's our favorite thing to hear him say.)
It's pretty early yet but we'd like to see that score even up just a touch.
2:05 NO PUSHING!
1:57 Darling Luke?
We can't even be bothered to post the score because it's so so sad.
2nd Quarter
10:19 They need to put that Farmar catch/drop in in one of those NBA=Amazing commercials.
9:59 T-t-t-turiaf.
9:14 What a foul night.
9:09 What the hell?
7:44 That was the most painful thing in Laker history we've ever had to watch. 4 back to back shot clocks for the other team? Rebound, look it up Lakers.
5:57 PAU FOR THE "TAKE THAT!"
5:29 Put the kids to bed, Ronny and Sasha just turned this game into an adult show, nasty.
Outlaw? What an awesome name to have... is he married?
3:23 Shirtwatch: Walton. That thing is looking like a dress at this point sir.
Greg Oden looks OLD.
51-44 Them guys
Half Time
Were we confused tonight? This is a real game, it's not just for practice. We started coming back, made it back (Thanks Jordy), and then started going the other way. No more U Turns thanks... wait, one more and then that's it. Heres hoping the second half of this game doesn't suck because that would suck. We had something else to say but we forgot what it was. If anybody remembers please let us know.
Oh, right, did Kobe just tell Luke that it wasn't his fault he missed that last shot at the buzzer? It doesn't matter either way but we were just wondering, that's what we do.
3rd Quarter
Did Pau just wink at us?
11:38 We almost put that one down =/
11:17 Oh no, Lamar.
7:20 It's like nobody wants the ball. Hot potato.
It's best not to watch the 3rd quarter collapse too closely.
4:05 Somebody tell me how it is that Kobe just got the foul?
35.5 MVP
RONNY
67-65 Blazers
4th Quarter
11:49 Luke has the defeated look on his face. That's not good.
8:40 Sasha we saw you set your feet, what happened?
Farmar, Jordan: Awesome.
4:00 It's raining celebration.
3:05 What the hell? Emotional game much?
It's kinda funny watching the game with confetti falling in the foreground.
2:01 "Woooooo, wooooo". Kobe takes the foul with a Ronny-like fervor.
96-83 9 in a row baby!
Final Comments
We pulled it off in the end. Celebrating early thanks to Staples Center's in ability to keep the confetti under control.
The One Of Us Has A Headache And Doesn't Feel Like Giving Out Awards award: Silly Bitch. Sorry, I want nothing more than to go to sleep.
Our player of the night: Jordan Farmar. He single handedly brought us back into the game. Matching his career high, and it's hard to believe this is only his second year in the association. We love you Jordy. We want to live the Farm life.
We've been gone for a minute, now we're back for the jump off...

Lakers @ Jazz
A word before the game:
Double headers are fun, we get to watch a bit of a game we would have never watched otherwise and make comments on people we don't even know... but then... you get to see (or not see, as it were) Smush Parker NOT with his team due to some parking altercation. What? You read that right. Isn't that just like Smushie? What's a Utonian D. Fish fan to do on a night like tonight... cheer for him or cheer for Utah? We're also really glad the boys aren't going to have on those yellow uniforms tonight- we like Championship Gold well enough but - Forum Blue all the way! It's prettier.
**Doc Rivers is about to smack somebody (the ref - we like her, she's feisty) over a jump ball shoulda been a foul situation.
Tip Off
Kobe, LO, Drew, Ronny and D. Fish who coincidentally has the opening ball and gets boo'ed. Guess that solves that mystery for confused fans. But we get the first basket so eat that!
1st Quarter
10:24 Time out already?
8:16 Oh, Utonians boo everybody and everything - it sounds forced.
Are those energy saving lights overhead?
3:42 Boring quarter so far but our current fave just got up, lets see if Walton rested last night...
(and Radman too for that matter)
2:59 Remind us not to go to Utah anytime ever, they are crybabies. Sorry the call is not getting reversed and we'll just bring in J. Far to piss you off more.
Note to all geeks: Mr. T does not play World of Warcraft in his spare time no matter how much they just paid him to pretend he does.
6.9 Did KB just drop the ball?
30-22 Utah
2nd Quarter
11:16 Hmmm, Walton on the floor, we're pretty sure Basketball is played in the vertical position. We keep going for the basket and they keep blowing whistles.
11:03 Reason #5 we like Stu and Joel better: They can pronounce Farmar.
8:40 Why does Luke's face seem to be saying, "What the heck am I doing in these blue but clearly purple shorts?"
Kirilenko... nothing to say about him, we just wanted to see how easy it'd be to type his name without saying it out loud at the same time.
8:00 Sasha fouled, good thing cause that shot wasn't going in anyway. Hey, Kobe's back!
7:07 We're down a lot, looks like PB&J is ready to start sending in the troops so we can make our end of the half push to get in the game for the first time. Will it work tonight?
6:08 Okay, we'll give Deron Williams a high five for playing like a champ, but we still don't like Utah.
Please visit testing411.org now so we don't have to see that commercial again. When you do you can watch a different and/or extended version of the same commercial - we're not sure, we didn't watch it.
3:25 Apparently as tired of Utah dominating the ball as we are, Bynum slows the game down and we watch big K shoot for free. This just in, it's more exciting when they have to work for it.
1:34 The difference between us and them: they rebound their own missed shots 2-3 times in a row, we apparently don't care about our missed shot balls.
70-51 Jazzy Jeff's
Half Time
PB&J should have a tacit conference in the locker room - they'll get the point. But how about starting Luke? It worked for him last night and we've got 20 points to go before we can be respectable.
Lets see if the boys can come out and make like The Fresh Prince and leave Jeff behind...
3rd Quarter
11:30 Nobody on KB and he takes it home.
8:33 So far our after half time surge hasn't kicked in. There's limited time to pull this off so um, lets get with it?
7:46 Not sure what that shouting is but it sure sounds like "Lakers suck!". Tonight, yes. Here goes the bench with their second try of the night.
Tonight we like Jordan's tattoo.
5:27 Kobe picks it up, tosses it over his shoulder and J.Far grabs it to throw it in while throwing himself out.
4:38 Here's a great idea: Let's keep sending the Jeff's to the free throw line. At least we haven't been Knicked yet =/
2:02 Mihms! It couldn't really get any worse anyway right?
1:02 Go get that Technical Luke!
Ouch, feels like we've turned on the boys, we have not, just remember that even bad press is good press.
102-82 Do I even need to tell you?
4th Quarter
10:12 This is the last chance we've got, pick it up or go sit down boys. Don't turn us into turncoats.
7:48 #4 just snatched it away and nobody saw it coming because he almost literally walked down the court, stopped, hopped up and put the ball inside the hoop while all 5 of the Jazz and the other 4 Lakers stood at the other end of the court puzzled.
To reward this excellence, J.Critt comes in and sends him to the bench for a sit.
5:24 It's not like we aren't trying... A for effort on that one.
Kirilenko is on the verge of of a 5x5. Whatever that is. Sounds impressive.
3:33 Kobe sits down because this game is over with. If you weren't sure, you could find further proof on Derek and Luke's faces.
Poor Ariza, he's the "Hey, this game is over go out there and have fun" guy.
1:something Jordan almost steals it, Utah takes it back, then we get it back and Jordan's still at the other end of the court this thing is moving so fast - so throw it aaaaaaaaaaall the way back to him and he drops it in.
120-96 Utah
Final Comments
Our player of the night: Jordan Farmar. 21 points, and the best hustle for the team make him a clear choice here. Plus he's cute.
Lesson of the night: People like to steal the ball.
It's also kind of awesome how: Bill Walton goes to great lengths to avoid talking about Luke playing basketball. Bill Walton is orange.
** Clearly commentary on another game is a little out of place but that's kinda funny, admit it.
Double headers are fun, we get to watch a bit of a game we would have never watched otherwise and make comments on people we don't even know... but then... you get to see (or not see, as it were) Smush Parker NOT with his team due to some parking altercation. What? You read that right. Isn't that just like Smushie? What's a Utonian D. Fish fan to do on a night like tonight... cheer for him or cheer for Utah? We're also really glad the boys aren't going to have on those yellow uniforms tonight- we like Championship Gold well enough but - Forum Blue all the way! It's prettier.
**Doc Rivers is about to smack somebody (the ref - we like her, she's feisty) over a jump ball shoulda been a foul situation.
Tip Off
Kobe, LO, Drew, Ronny and D. Fish who coincidentally has the opening ball and gets boo'ed. Guess that solves that mystery for confused fans. But we get the first basket so eat that!
1st Quarter
10:24 Time out already?
8:16 Oh, Utonians boo everybody and everything - it sounds forced.
Are those energy saving lights overhead?
3:42 Boring quarter so far but our current fave just got up, lets see if Walton rested last night...
(and Radman too for that matter)
2:59 Remind us not to go to Utah anytime ever, they are crybabies. Sorry the call is not getting reversed and we'll just bring in J. Far to piss you off more.
Note to all geeks: Mr. T does not play World of Warcraft in his spare time no matter how much they just paid him to pretend he does.
6.9 Did KB just drop the ball?
30-22 Utah
2nd Quarter
