We refuse to accept a reality in which the Lakers do not play in the NBA finals against Cleveland or Boston, which means, hooray! We win the game today.
No really, there is no other possibility. There cannot be that much talent laying around going to waste, it's just impossible. Also, not that we're totally into things like this but... Lakeshow hasn't lost a Sunday Night White game all season long. Just sayin'! So we probably can't be held responsible to a blog during Game 7 while sitting on the edge of a seat and trying not to scream so loudly at every play that the neighbors get concerned for our safety. That leaves us with a few errant thoughts today:
~ The first being that, between Jeanie Vision and @JeanieBuss on twitter doesn't it feel like Jeanie and Phil are on a reality show about their power relationship? Wouldn't Phil Jackson make an awesome reality show subject? When is NBATV going to start it's reality series? And can we be a part of the show some how since we suggested it? Thanks in advance.
~ We made some comment at the first time out regarding how we've never been this excited at the beginning of a game since probably ever. And about how we're probably going to lose our voices and comment during every time out. And the crowd is at full throat at tip-off.
~ Then we made another comment at the 3:19 timeout (don't ask how we remember the time) that said: Defense is ON today! And by that we mean very few blown defensive assignments! Woo! We feel like LeBron in the chalk commercial. I NEED A BASKETBALL IN MY HANDS! WOOOO!
~ And then the computer crashed. Stupid PC. But believe there was some sort of genius in those first two comments that we really just can't remember at this moment.
~ During half time we have something to say:
Andrew is back. Jordan is back. Lakeshow is back. =)
~ Reports from the inside of the booing during the national anthem's "And the rocket's red glare" are simultaneously hilarious and scary.
~ Trevor and Jordan!!!! (approx 1:20 in 3rd Quarter)
SHANNOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Bangin' with Mbenga!
OH.MY.GOD.
Lakeshow: Doin' work!

64 Lakers vs. Bucks
Okay, we're fully admitting to watching the replay of this game on FSPT at midnight, the first time around the entire group of people watching the game together spent 3 quarters ripping on a certain player on the team who was at home with an illness (we're not even sure why we were making fun of him). We won't name any names, but suffice to say it was hilarious. So, we're watching the terribleness of this game again and letting you know about it.
A word before the game
Our favorite ex UCLA player who is really only our faves because his name is fun to say, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, otherwise known as The Prince, is ready for action. The other Luke aka Mr. Money Shot is out with some respiratory issues. I told you everyone was rippin on him... we'd be failing you by not sharing at least some of it.
1st Quarter
Sun Yue in his uniform tonight, and had we not seen this game already we'd bet money on whether he'd see any PT tonight. And we'd have lost all of that money sadly.
11:04 Kobe always yells at his free throw balls to "get up!"
10:47 Sasha's been issued a gag order? We can only imagine why that headband is keeping his mouth shut tonight.
Since nobody is bothering to really score any points we thought it'd be a great time to point out how the Bucks have probably the nastiest looking uniforms in the league. Even in December they aren't fun to look at.
9:31 The first non free throw points of the game have finally been scored, elminating our thoughts of this being a basketless game.
8:36 Everyone does everything right with that steal and half court pass to the break away player. Everyone that is, except the break away player. Radman attempts to murder Malik Allen instead. Good times.
6:36 Richard is on his second foul. Lets keep an eye on this shall we? Especially since Milwaukee still only has 5 points.
You gotta love when the team forgets to inbound the ball. Do they not want the possession?
3:49 Derek Fisher manages to make a shot in the paint and as such, Coachy McCoacherson (Skiles) manages to take a T for his team. Just the game interruption everyone was hoping for huh?
Stu Lantz mentions Trevor being a crowd favorite. Everyone is a crowd favorite in Lakertown... well, unless your name is Smush or Kwame... but other than that!
23.0 Kobefucking around gambling on the shot clockand ruining the entire posession.
24-16 Lakers in the boringest quarter this season
2nd Quarter
10:42 "Trevor Ariza blows the easy one." Understatement of the year.
10:30 Jordan takes the fast break but doesn't bother making sure it goes in. Mmmkay?
10:16 Jordan takes the fast break but doesn't bother making sure it goes in. The fuck Jordan?
9:51 Someone obviously put the floor together wrong at Staples, forcing Ariza to step out of bounds with the ball in his hands.
9:22 R. Jeff with his 3rd in 6 minutes of play. More good times.
9:12 Andrew Bynum just went for a swim. Even on the second viewing of this game we have no idea why he was on the floor like that.
8:11 There's Jordan Farmar again. Who put out his fire. Seriously? Is he sad that his best friend aka the best player on the Lakers this season is at home with an illness? Is that preventing him from performing? That's probably what's wrong with Richard Jefferson as well. $10 says the two of them are auditioning for each other as "Luke's best best friend". As far as we can tell neither of them are winning.
Oooh looky! Another celebrity interview we don't really care about. Couldn't they have at least gotten Matt Kemp a seat in the venue. He's sitting somewhere near a tunnel or some such. He's bff with Trevor in case you missed his entirely too long and irrelevant interview.
So one of the fun features of the replay on Prime Ticket is that the skip portions of the game - which is usually fine but we think they may have skipped something that was important but don't worry the score is still ridiculously low.
1:32 Radman tries to block a shot he knows he can't block. He doesn't block it for the record and he gives an And 1 to the Bucks just for shits and giggles.
43-31 Lakers in a slightly more entertaining quarter or something
Halftime
It's quite strange watching a game when you already know the outcome. What is the point of getting all worked up over it? Ok, not this game but we watched the Derek Fisher 0.4 game right before this and well... it was hard to breathe watching the 48433937928 time outs that were taken right before that shot was put up on accident by Derek who ran straight to the locker room. And whats the deal with running off the court when you make the Hail Mary shot anyway? And while we're 'what's the deal'ing... what's the deal with the Chinese having their last names first? We're talking to you Sun Yue and Yi Jianlin (sp?).
3rd Quarter
11:50 Kobe slams it home on the first play of the quarter. That'll wake the crowd up.
9:36 Can we please get Andrew Bogut a technical free throw so he can high five himself? That's pretty much the best video clip we've ever seen out of the NBA.
9:11 Richard Jefferson still sucking... don't worry.
8:39 Told ya... 4 fouls for The Jeff. That should keep him rested for his dedication ceremony tomorrow at Arizona. We're not real fans of the entire state of Arizona - though we're just noticing how much that's almost Ariza - sorry anyone in Arizona, except for the people who made us dislike it.
Knowing that in his post game interview Derek is more than a little bit excited about taking his wife out on a date; Does a player play better when he knows he's gettin' lucky later in the night? Derek J. Fisher has been on fire all night long.
Due to time constraints (lack of planning) we rejoin the game with 1:25 left in the 3rd. So again, we missed some of the great plays, if by great we mean terrible. And someone bleeding to death, but no matter how diligently he checked himself it wasn't Pau... So terrible was the play that the score at the end of the quarter looks like:
74-54 Still the Lakers probably because (as we were just shown) they have something like 20 more free throws than the Bucks
4th Quarter
Can they hold onto this lead? A good friend of mine (S) once said, "If my past is any sign of my future, you should be warned before I let you inside." So according to that the answer is probably and most likely no. Don't believe all the crap your friends tell you.
11:40 Trevor steals the ball but fails to do anything about it on the other end. And so it begins.
11:00 Trevor can't really deal with other people having the ball and just sticks his arm up and takes it for his own. Jordan goes chasing it down the court, which is odd because nobody else is even bothering with it. We vote that if nobody is going to care about the ball running away, it shouldn't matter if it goes out of bounds, just let the team with the steal have it. Oh yeah and then Andrew got some free throws out of all of that or whatever.
8:57 According to Stu Jordan just had a great change of direction. That direction change was: standing up - laying flat on his face. Nice.
8:53 Over and back! Good job Lakeshow.
Stu doesn't mind telling us that Mr. Jefferson has like 3 points. Remember that foul count is at 4 and minutes played is somewhere around 9. Remember when Richard Jefferson was somebody important in the game of basketb... okay perhaps "important" was going a bit far, lets say "relevant", or "contributory"? Yeah, one of those.
7:41 Josh Powell sighting!
7:15 And now Chrissie is up!
The consensus here is that The Five Million Dollar Gatorade Man is at home choking on his respiratory thinking about how he could have had some serious PT tonight.
6:00 Remarkably we're at the half way point of the quarter and the Lakers still have a sizeable lead. Say what?
Someone also pointed out that Kobe probably makes enough money to get his faded prison markings touched up. Probably, but who knows his finances, ink may not be in the budget at the moment.
5:14 OH SHIT Y'ALL! Sun Yue makes his NBA debut taking over for Jordy. Hold onto your panties ladies.
4:48 Sasha picks up a "pass" off of the floor and misses the wide open basket just for fun we guess.
4:33 Sun giving Fouly McFoulerson - Richard Jefferson - a run for his money with his second foul already.
4:01 And another! Damn, Jefferson can't even have the foul record from the game. What a waste.
Can we get a chant for 2 on the way home already?
3:02 Trevor gets a flagrant foul which is hilarious, just ask him. Though he did apologize so you know there's the softer side of basketball for you. We like it.
2:04 Sasha bricks another so that Sun can give it a try and he repeats that sentiment so that Josh Powell can finally throw it in although we're pretty sure that Aleksander guy from Milwaukee is the one who actually threw it down. Shhhhhh.
1:35 Yue makes those first points of his career here which brings the crowd to full throat where they stay until he makes 2 more points a few seconds later. Get some!
29.4 Chris Mihm stuffs it in because who knows when he'll have that chance again. And with that the game is over with.
Boston sucks and all that
105-92 Lakeshow baby
Final Comments
Somewhere in there we missed the Purple and Golds getting not 1 but 2 delay of game violations, and you know what that means... in this game it actually meant nothing but a minor annoyance at having to watch the Bucks shoot an extra free throw, but seriously? If this were a serious game it'd mean giving away yet another point for failing to get your act together. Seriously.
Player of the Night: Sun Yue for being hella productive in just 5 minutes. Not that we really believe his numbers would duplicate if his minutes did but it's nice to pretend isn't it?
Assist of the Night: Luke Walton aka Mr. Money Shot, aka The Best Player on the Team, aka The $5 Million Dollar Gatorade Man for assisting Sun Yue in getting some PT.
Worst Outfits Ever: Laker Girls in the final quarter. Whatever those weird Grease-esque shorts with the glitter belts and the "nude" tights - even though some of us obviously think we're African-American - are supposed to look like, we're pretty sure it didn't translate from paper correctly. Lets stop giving the Laker Girls new outfits and feed the homeless or something?

68 Lakers vs. Raptors
This promises to be a sparse blog, but stay tuned afterwards for some small recapitulations on the Sunday Night Classics game - oh yes, it's that 81 point game. Oh, and did we mention that Ulrich Fox is back. Gosh, how we missed him in studio . Also we may or may not be accurate with our game count in the titles, but we're not counting today... maybe next week?
A word before the game
Still at home? Yep, still at home.
But here are Foxy's 8 stages of the season:
Preparation
Formation
Stabilization
Elevation
Laker Nation
Hibernation
Ok, that looks like only about 6 stages, maybe we missed something? Thats quite the possibility as we gobble up the last of the leftovers before the game starts.
1st Quarter
~ After a totally botched foul gets called on Andrew, he applauds C. Bosh's miss with fervor.
~ Derek Fisher continues to prove he couldn't complete a lay up if you paid him millions of dollars... but then he goes and swishes those pretty pretty ones from the corners and whatever and you have to question your sexuality or is it sanity (?) as to whether or not being mad at him is ok.
~ Jordan Farmar looks older today! Rick wasn't invited to his birthday party, for the record.
~ Hot damn! Lamar footballs it down the court to Ariza who could either slam it home himself and probably kill someone in the process or pass it. Because passing is more fun than murder, he drops it off to Pau for a monster dunk. The crowd goes wild!
~ Sasha tries to pass because he liked the way it made Trevor and Lamar look. We're given an inside look at why he never passes the ball. Machine needs to camp and shoot. The end.
34-29 Lakers of course
2nd Quarter
~ We're suddenly wondering if Sasha is sponsored by Goody or Caboodles. Where does he get so many different and intriguing headbands?
~ Lets play a game called "Always give it to Trevor if there's no time left on the shot clock", because that seems fair.
~ How come Trevor never checks his entire body for blood every time he gets tapped by any other player, like Pau does? Though if we're being honest, Trevor's "tap" was more like a body slam.
~ Holy mother of all things Jesus-y (aka Mary) nearly 5 minutes left in the half and Luke Walton's up off the bench. This sucks for Toronto because they are playing the end of the bench and they actually have to play still. Well... kinda.
~ Rebound, football to Kobe, dunk - how many times can we run this play before the Raptors try to stop it?
2
*We should give Walton a round of applause because he's being productive tonight, especially on one of these plays.
Halftime
Lets go eat the last slices of cake. No live ball thingy tonight, because we're lazy.
Coaches Interview: No idea... you'll see why in a second.
3rd Quarter
~ You know how sometimes Grandpa gets his hands on the remote and destroys your surround sound/DVR/high tech setup with the stroke of an Alzheimer's button? That's what happened to us midway through the half time show and for the first 6 something minutes of the 3rd. We missed how Derek Fisher got a tech, which was apparently a double t with Senor Calderon.
~ Kobe: Not so good as the Quarter Back.
~ Trevor finds yet another way to fall to the ground in an offensive set.
90-81 Lakers
4th Quarter
~ Jordan has aged so much that he can no longer complete a behind the back pass.
~ If we could play 20 questions with Mr. Parker, we'd have 19 to spare, we only want to know how it feels to be referred to as Candace Parker's brother.
~ Would we say having Andrew Bynum crash down on you because you were busy pretending like you were going to be able to block his shot is equal to or greater than being hit by a mack truck?
~ Another football for a pass and then dunk. Andrew - L07 - Trevor. Sweet.
~ Mbenga! Powell! Walton! Watch out now.
~ Mbenga gets a block, Walton gets a basket, Powell gets a basket. Successful night all around.
The only thing left to debate is 2 on the way home...
~ Sasha wins the award for keeping the ball on the right side of the court despite a bounce pass that came dangerously close to the line.
DAMN! Just barely, but the crowd gets it. That's a win for everyone except the Raptors.
112-99
Final Comments
14-1 There isn't much to say about that other then "damn". FSN thinks this was a November to Remember. We agree.
Player of the Night: Tough call but we're going with Kobe Bryant for not making this night all about himself. He could have very well gone for that record we won't mention by name, and nobody could have stopped him. But he didn't, he played team ball instead.
Now lets get it on with 81 points!

14-1 There isn't much to say about that other then "damn". FSN thinks this was a November to Remember. We agree.
Player of the Night: Tough call but we're going with Kobe Bryant for not making this night all about himself. He could have very well gone for that record we won't mention by name, and nobody could have stopped him. But he didn't, he played team ball instead.
Now lets get it on with 81 points!

71 Lakers vs. Kings
At least we think that's who they're playing tonight. It's so hard to keep track of the poor - mediocre teams these days. Why doesn't Dr. Buss buy his own broadcasting station and just make it all Lakers all the time? No seriously. Include it in the basic cable package or you know what, even better, make it a yearly subscription channel. I'd pay for it. Even if the games were being broadcast for free on KCAL or FSN. Think about it...
People around the country (except for in Boston where people are foolish) love the Lakers, and would pay for this channel. If he ran Lakers programming all day he'd get the people of southern California on board. Especially those in San Diego! Such programs could include:
El Segundo: The Practice Files
Laker Girls (a reality show obvi)
Courtside Connection - because screw having it on the website, lets have Jeanie read her blogs outloud t us, and perhaps a text to vote on that daily trivia.
Classic Moments - replay the best games ever.
Lakers Beach House - just have random players/execs/dancers stop by the beach house and do whatever all of the time.
And then there should totally be a fan show. This came to us in a dream, but how ridiculous would it be if every home game there was a fan (voted on somehow) who hosted a show where they showed up at STAPLES for pregame shoot around and had a camera and a mic and just walked around, interview players, shoot around, look at the pregame dinner, whatever. Of course they'd watch the game and that could be part of it if they want, and then after the game more of the same... interviews in the locker room, post game meal, whatever. And by "ridiculous" we totally mean awesome! Air it the day after the game or something.
Just a thought.
A word before the game
We got carried away with the Lakers TV thing but we're bored so sue us. Tonight we promise to pay attention to the game and try to provide some of the original comedy we used to provide. Honestly, it's a little hard when they're doing so well, but focus we must. No promises on how that's going to turn out though. Oh and as for the Kings... well, this should be one of those no brainer easy wins. Like, you know the Clippers. So we'll see if the Lakers are still on that course of destruction they've been on all season or if they have fallen into Lakers of Yore thinking and assume they're going to win and are going to try to mail it in. Post man don't run on Sunday's y'all.
P.S. What's with people who write "y'all" as "ya'll". Um, no.
1st Quarter
OMG Vladi's goggles = teh awesome!
11:15 Uh oh, Fish got off to an actual start by making the basket. It could be a loooong night for Sactown.
9:25 Andrew follows up his miss/fumble/nonsense by not making the next basket either
Spencer Hawes just got 16 1/2'd. That's a sandwich between Pau and Andrew.
Oh snap, someone's bleeding and Pau didn't even check his face first.
7:07 The towel boy over there with the Kings looks like Josh Powell.
4:30 Perhaps Radman should have put those damn goggles on earlier this season.
This just in, Colts and Bolts are tied.
Kobe almost dropped it in backwards on the pass from I can't really make many baskets Derek Fisher.
1:17 No need to make free throws tonight Trevor, don't even worry about it.
48.7 Did Trevor go to Kwame Brown's all star ball handling class yesterday for extra tips?
0.1 Even though he looked mildly retarded doing it, Sasha's end of the quarter PUJIT was a nice knife in the heart for Sacramento.
32-27 Lakers
2nd Quarter
Internet outage and we come back to a tied game and then the Kings are up?
9:47 Sasha does a fantastic job throwing away the steal because dribbling first might upset his shot.
Blogger.com gets a FAIL in life. We type this up on a blogger page because it's easier for both of us to comment that way - and we transfer it later - too bad it gives an error tonight everytime we update to let us know that it can't actually update.
6:20 UCLA finally awake.
5:12 Andrew also went to that ball handling class with Trevor.
4:51 Yep, we just got the roll sheet from Kwame himself, Andrew wad definitely there.
Derek Fisher takes soooooo long getting across the half court line. He's aware that he only has 8 seconds right?
3:24 Brad Miller nearly murders Trevor who doesn't sell his pain like Sasha would and lets him get away with a regular foul.
19.5 Kareem digs for gold on television.
61-52 Lakeshow
Halftime
Question: What is the point of Rick Fox in studio? Don't get us wrong. We think it's hilarious because all they ever do is make fun of him for this or for that and talk about his personal life. And tonight its all about Doug Christie vs. Rick Fox. But seriously, what was the point of putting him up there with Billy Mac and Stormin Norman?
Findings from the live ball thingy (we swear we're making a name for that thing because it's apparently called Courtside Live and thats boring).
Derek Fisher is terrible and nobody notices and it seems nobody cares. He might be good on any other team, but this is Los Angeles, you come to play or you go to the Clippers. 1 for 4 with 3 fouls is not, as they say, good.
Lamar has all of his points from the EXACT same spot on the floor. Consistency.
3rd Quarter
Side note: We've begun taking bets on which assistant coach is going to give the post-halftime interview, perfect record so far. Perhaps we'll start adding that to the Halftime chat.
10:11 We're completely convinced that the Lakers take a group nap during halftime (every game) and don't wake up with enough time to not be groggy for the 3rd.
7:38 He packed his bags for that trip. Why is Theus arguing about this with the ref?
For some reason we just relived the scene from Knocked Up where they try to go to the club but the bouncer won't let them in because she's pregnant and the other one is "old as fuck".
4:05 We wonder who greases Fisher's head before the game.
Wish they'd show us more of the game in the smallest corner possible on the screen while we watch other random things on the screen. Yeah!
1:02 Kobe has that look on his face. That "oh hell no, not tonight" look.
0.0 How come Luke doesn't have the Gatorade ready?
96-80 Kobe
4th Quarter
10:54 Defense obviously isn't a big deal tonight. Lets just let the Kings have every basket they want.
10:11 Andrew might as well gift wrap those balls for them.
8:49 Sasha falls down. Shock. Awe.
6:45 Lamar fouls because he's embarrassed and then tries to argue it. Hmmm, is that the new defense?
Sasha just gave away the entire game. Awful.
6:04 Lamar goes to work instantly.
4:48 At least Kobe got the foul. More than we can say for Fisher who missed the shot (s).
4:05 Fighting for rebounds. Our favorite. Not sarcasm.
3:05 Trevor pulls out his latest pony trick. It's like gymnastics up in there.
1:34 Apparently nobody knows what the score is, so lets stand around and have an extended time out just for fun.
1:20 Its like people don't read the book on Trevor. If you let him, he will steal your ball. Passing. Dribbling. Shooting. He's stealing it. He wants it. "...the ball just calls my name."
118-108 Los Angeles
Final Comments
Holler!
Ok it was sloppy. Real sloppy. There's going to be a lot to work on at practice tomorrow. A LOT. Did anyone else see that the Timberwolves STOMPED on the Pistons. Who even plays for the TWolves? Consensus: Nobody.
Player of the Night - Trevor Ariza like woah!

M to the V to the P
Game 1, Round 2 Lakers - Jazz (or Jazz-Jazz depending on which website you look at) was thrilling, and there's something to be said about owning the game even after you got completely completely pwned on the glass - yes, yes they did - but since we pulled away with the win, the whole thing was 100% overshadowed by the team going out to dinner together on Friday night to watch the Jazz-Nuggets game.
We all know that this is not the first time they've done team things, but apparently this is a big big deal. Whatever whatever.
The true story of the week here is that Kobe is our MVP. No really, he is.
Let's hear it for campaign manager Dr. Buss himself. In case you didn't know, the splash screen with all of the campaign buttons on Lakers.com is representative of the real stuff Dr. Buss packaged up with a letter signed by him and with his self appointed title of Campaign Manager, urging the media to vote for Kobe. This from the guy who went through all of that nonsense before training camp last year. Goes to show just how much things get blown out of proportion by the media, AND just how much the whole thing has been squashed and we don't ever want to hear about it again after this post.
Daddy 4 MVP
Kobe's our MVP
and the sub campaigns
We Gusta Pau
Bench Mob Owned You
That pretty much completes our season, only one thing left to do now... take it all home.
So let's recap:
Pacific Division Champions
Western Conference 1-seed
1st round sweep
MVP of the League
...
Bring.it.on.

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.

Los Lakers vs. Warriors
A word before the game:
Happy Easter! It's Sunday Night Whites, but not just ANY SNW, it's Noche Latino which means Los Lakers! There's still a lot of bracket madness going on so we haven't even been paying attention to the Lakers enough to have any intelligent pregame conversation about them. Pau isn't playing still :(
Tip Off
Radman, Turiaf (we've perfected saying his name the way he does), Bryant, Fisher, L. Odom
1st Quarter
Well the good news is that we have no idea what happened during the first quarter thanks to the DVR crapping out even though we've only had this one for 1 week (7 days as of today) thanks DirecTv. If you're new around here, we HATE DirecTv even more than we hate USC but there really aren't many options so we have to sit idly by and hate them, crossing our fingers hoping that we get to actually watch the TV we pay for whether it works or not.
2nd Quarter
5:59 Oh welcome back to the TV you're paying for!
4:46 Sasha takes a "I have nothing better to do tonight than blow the game" shot. What do you know, he misses, but then he hustles back so are we mad or not?
4:39 Damn, Luke is sweaty.
3:41 Oh there goes DirecTV again. You know what we didn't want to see this game anyway.
Okay so we've gone to a streaming site in order to watch now because this is bullshit!
2:49 & 2:35 Luke passes to Golden Statesmen... there really should be some sort of class they take where they learn the difference between "my team and the other team".
2:33 Please hit yourself in the face with the ball a few more times Mr. Walton, it might help you see colors better.
2:10 Since we're down by so much Kobe decides to beat the shit out of whoever has the ball so they can have some free throws.
1:03 This is where the downfall starts. Sasha gets nothing from the corner, then Lamar gets stripped by Davis and falls on his ass. Warriors get it done then we're back to the Laker's end of the floor where Kobe misses it, then Derek misses is (or did Derek miss it first?), then someone else misses it before the buzzer. Pretty sure the goal of the game is to put the ball inside of the hole. If the NBA was giving away points for hitting the rim we'd have kicked the shit out of the Warriors in this past minute, but they don't.
Half Time
We'd like to see DirecTv get it's act together so we can watch the rest of the game without squinting at the stream on the computer, but that's probably asking for too much isn't it?
3rd Quarter
11:14 Los Ronny needs to make both of his freethrows because his team is losing still.
10:10 Kobe to Ronny for the zip.
9:37 Have these guys had too much Easter ham? Why not let Karl, Newble and the injureds play instead?
9:11 It's going to be a long night for Kobe and the gang.
7:14 We're not even sure how Derek ended up twirling around on the floor but at least Kobe made the shot.
Kobe has put on his "fuck that" face and you can mark our words from here on out he's going to make everyone on the floor hate their own lives.
5:13 Radman with a Walton shot - nowhere near the basket just the way we like it!
3:30 Coach Nellie looks stressed.
3:16 "A couple of poor decisions" doesn't even begin to describe what Luke did in the first half.
2:55 Kinda like how he laid on the floor while the rest of his team ran to the other side.
2:34 Fisher's got HOPS!!! And nobody was there to stop 'em.
Get there Lakers.
Did Luke just block that?
1:27 Fisher with another of his rainbow shots, love the arc on his shots. Love.
48.3 Lamar's pass to Kobe looked like it wasn't going to work but damn if it didn't.
87-81 Warriors
4th Quarter
9:35 If Jordan is going to senselessly foul people can he at least get his hair cut?
Kobe? Wide open? We'll take it!
7:45 Sasha needs to make shots.
6:48 Kobe takes it, runs it, passes to himself behind his back, spins and passes behind someone elses back to Ronny who gets the 2 and 1. AND TIES IT!
We just seriously yelped. When basketball gets exciting...
3:21 Thank god L. Odom was there to tap in Luke's usual non-make. It's anybodies game at this point.
56.4 1 point game?
We didn't foul them because it's more fun to risk losing.
8.1 The Warriors' little celebratory bullshit is really annoying. They kind of remind us of gangsters at a drive by.
115-111 Warriors
Final Comments
I mean... they had a pretty valiant come back, but the better question is, "Why were we in a position to need to come back?" Think about that Los Lakers.
Due to the lack of solid TV service we're not prepared to give out a bunch of awards but we're certainly giving out the
Player of the Night Award: Derek Fisher for his pretty shots that brought us back from the dead in the 3rd Quarter! And because we still aren't able to release our comments from the Utah game and we need to shout him out for "using his daughters' illness as a convenience"
Happy Easter! It's Sunday Night Whites, but not just ANY SNW, it's Noche Latino which means Los Lakers! There's still a lot of bracket madness going on so we haven't even been paying attention to the Lakers enough to have any intelligent pregame conversation about them. Pau isn't playing still :(

Kobe has put on his "fuck that" face and you can mark our words from here on out he's going to make everyone on the floor hate their own lives.
5:13 Radman with a Walton shot - nowhere near the basket just the way we like it!
3:30 Coach Nellie looks stressed.
3:16 "A couple of poor decisions" doesn't even begin to describe what Luke did in the first half.
2:55 Kinda like how he laid on the floor while the rest of his team ran to the other side.
2:34 Fisher's got HOPS!!! And nobody was there to stop 'em.
Get there Lakers.
Did Luke just block that?
1:27 Fisher with another of his rainbow shots, love the arc on his shots. Love.
48.3 Lamar's pass to Kobe looked like it wasn't going to work but damn if it didn't.
87-81 Warriors
4th Quarter
9:35 If Jordan is going to senselessly foul people can he at least get his hair cut?
Kobe? Wide open? We'll take it!
7:45 Sasha needs to make shots.
6:48 Kobe takes it, runs it, passes to himself behind his back, spins and passes behind someone elses back to Ronny who gets the 2 and 1. AND TIES IT!
We just seriously yelped. When basketball gets exciting...
3:21 Thank god L. Odom was there to tap in Luke's usual non-make. It's anybodies game at this point.
56.4 1 point game?
We didn't foul them because it's more fun to risk losing.
8.1 The Warriors' little celebratory bullshit is really annoying. They kind of remind us of gangsters at a drive by.
115-111 Warriors
Final Comments
I mean... they had a pretty valiant come back, but the better question is, "Why were we in a position to need to come back?" Think about that Los Lakers.
Due to the lack of solid TV service we're not prepared to give out a bunch of awards but we're certainly giving out the
Player of the Night Award: Derek Fisher for his pretty shots that brought us back from the dead in the 3rd Quarter! And because we still aren't able to release our comments from the Utah game and we need to shout him out for "using his daughters' illness as a convenience"

Lakers vs. Mavericks
A word before the game:
National television. Delayed start of the game or simply missing the beginning? Time to start a new winning streak, and not let the announcers get on our nerves. Let's see if the Kidd is worth anything. Ready, set, go!
Tip Off
Bryant, Fisher, Gasol, Odom, Walton
Damn, we've missed those Sunday Night (afternoon?) Whites!
1st Quarter
10:53 Fisher still not hot.
9:53 STEAL!
9:39 How is that a jump ball? Pretty sure Luke had it on lockdown.
7:44 Lamar... It's a FREEthrow, take it!
If Luke can't take it away, Derek will. Good enough for us.
We're for Lakers all the way, but the Mavs would be wise to not foul Fish in the act of shooting, haven't the noticed he can't sink em?
3:49 Dresswatch: #4
1:53 That's what we need to see!!!
Standing ovation in the first quarter? This could be epic.
1:11 J. FARM! Remember how this is only his sophomore season? Is that real?
50.0 NBA refs, making games less enjoyable since 1983
29 -23 Lakers
2nd Quarter
11:22 We're gonna start issuing out fines for freethrows missed, since they obviously don't appreciate the meaning of the word free.
9:39 The rebound merry-go-round. Somebody stop this ride we wanna get off!!!
Rather surprising fact: Violet Palmer hasn't pissed us off yet.
7:21 Damn... get back on the court man. Vujacic for the make!
6:11 Looks like the throw it in and run out of bounds is gonna be his new shot.
Here's the problem with national TV... they have to keep talking about the same stuff that happened months ago...
5:23 Everybody is on their feet again. =)
4:22 DAMN! That was a straight shot to the eye! Flagrant!!
MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP
MAKE BOTH SHOTS MAKE BOTH SHOTS MAKE BOTH SHOTS
2:20 Is that the first one for Fisher in like 9738473908 games?
1:09 Luuuuuuuuuke
2.2 Is Kobe really working for the Technical foul limit?
"Come on muh'fuckah" <-- yeah, we heard you.
50-47 Lakers
Half Time
Maintain focus. This game is too close for the 3rd Quarter collapse gentlemen.
Kinda boring without Bill Walton in studio running his mouth. Get well Bill!
3rd Quarter
11:10 Violet Palmer is not VERY GOOD. Thanks.
Luke Walton lines up the nothing.
8:something White boy!!
6:06 Arena wide argument time.
ABC is doing an injury round up. What happened to That Guy? You know... the undisputed winner of the "Hey, there's that guy" award... Chris Mihm.
3:19 Okay, we're just as mad as Kobe at this point. Where's Violet Palmer with her world class officiating? Huh?
2:35 Emotions run high this afternoon. "Fuck that!" - L. Odom.
This ain't the NFL
Lamar is about to blow a fuse.
1:11 Kidd just got OWNED by Ronny.
6 of 22?
68-65
4th Quarter
Time to bring it home gents.
8:14 Oh shit! Jordan and Jason Terry... Jordan is okay thankfully, but we still hat to see other players get hurt.
7:58 Oh snap, look who's officially been voted out of his injury related slump.
There goes your boy! (Not lookin' too happy over there on the bench)
6:38 It's Kobe show time.
Holla Holla
6:08 Always count on Pau... always.
Crowd is at full throat, so are we.
4:13 J. Farm saves it and gives it Kobe, Kobe goes to WORK.
Too much action to type.
2:08 Bullshit

Sasha!
Kobe!
Phil's out of his chair, let's get it done boys.
Another rebound merry-go-round.
Are they jersey-poppin' at each other on the freethrow setup? Haha, brilliant.
IF THEY JUST STAT CURSED HIM, WE ARE GOING TO KILL
He did NOT just miss that?
108-104
Final Comments
Hoooooly shit was that a game?
We're quite speechless right now. Who can we award for what?
Luke for being much improved but then it's canceled out by the foul out.

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. 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.
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.

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.
