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.

End Of The Year Awards
Yep, we got some to give out as well. We've been vacationing from our in-game blogging because... well, because we're lazy, and because we started watching the games dru... or um, while surrounded by quality people who deserve our attention more so than the computer did. Yeah... that's it!
Looking around the internet it's hard to swallow some of the awards being doled out. We're submitting our votes for all of the standards, but what about the rest of the team? Even our own Laker website only gives out standard awards. Some people on the roster get left out and don't get any awards at all. That ain't right! We have a little something for everyone. In alphabetical order:
Ariza, Trevor - The Trev
What a great year for him huh? Move back home to LA, posterize Grant Hill, go on vacation. Well, vacation also included a broken foot, but sometimes you make sacrifices. Trevor walks away with the Best Poster Ever In The History Ever.com. His thank you speech should begin with a shout out to Grant.
Bryant, Kobe - Daddy 4 MVP!, KB24, Mamba
Everyone wants to make him the MVP, can we just give him the Most Adorable NBA Kids award? And then can we babysit? No, seriously... call us.
Bynum, Andrew - Drew, Drew-Drew, Big Drew
We don't even want to talk about this. *sigh* Most Improved Before We Were Forced To Cry While Watching You Get Carried Off Of The Court award. We were there, you have no idea how terrifying it was to watch that and not have any idea what happened after he left. Get well soon!
Farmar, Jordan - J. Farm, Farm Life, Jordy, Hero
One reason is yoga, the other speaks for itself, 2 awards combined into one. Best Use Of The Off-season For Training & Supporting Actor In A Reality Mini-series Called Life With Luke award.
Fisher, Derek - D. Fish
The one, the only. This man was our savior at the beginning of the season. That seems to be getting over looked at the season wears on. Not by us, Mr. Winner of the Best Old Dude On The Team award.
Gasol, Pau - Pau Pow Popozao, The Spaniard
Our knight in Spanish armor. Nobody expected him to pick up the triangle quite as fast as he did. Before him, nobody even expected anything worth writing home about regarding the franchise and it's playoff destiny. Mr. Gasol is the first ever recipient of the award named after himself (which in all fairness could have gone to Shaq or Jason Kidd had they stepped it up after their trades, but they did not) the Me Gusta Pau award. This one is kind of complicated, basically Jason Kidd had done something remarkable once he got back to the Mavs Mark Cuban could have this award in honor of Pau starting the domino effect in the Western Conference, but nobody seemed to trump the acquisition of Pau. All that hurried trading for nothing.
Mbenga, Didier (you probably think we don't know the alphabet but his last name is actually Ilguna-Mbenga which also probably doesn't fit on his jersey, not that he goes by his name anyway...) - DJ, Mbenga the Mblocker
The Most Fun With A Last Name As It Relates To Game Time Commentary award. One might get Mblocked by Mbenga, may need to get the Mball to Mbenga or e.t.c. He hasn't had much PT and almost didn't come back after his initial 10 days, but he comes in and brings it home when we absolutely need it. Stay tuned for the playoffs.
Karl, Coby - George's son
The franchise's baby brother. Everybody loves them some Coby Karl, that's why we get sad when he goes to the Defenders, it's no fun being in the 4th quarter of a blow out with Karl not suited up. Zero fun. The Best Rookie Hazing Incident Caught On Film award. "I'm Coby Karl, I'm George's son!" Never.Gets.Old. We know you're thinking this should go to Lamar but we got something else for him and you mean to tell us you don't say that every time Coby gets off the bench?
Mihm, Chris - Mihms! (MIMS)
This is why he's hot... waaaaaaaait a minute... since he spent the better part of this and the all part of last season behind the bench in a nice suit we can't really say he's hot. We can however give him the Most Wins Of The "Hey there's that guy!" award. An award within an award!! This may have been the first season this award was even given out, but nobody could have predicted this many repeat wins for Chris, nobody.
Newble, Ira - Newb (because he is)
Not that we have anything at all against him but he is taking home the I Guess We Don't Need You After All But You're Free To Hang Around If You Wanna award. We're sure there was a reason they signed him at the last minute but, we just can't see it. Better safe than sorry though.
Odom, Lamar - LO (pronounced Ello) L. Odom (only enunciated with the Turiaf accent)
The Just Don't Count On Me Too Much award. If we need to not depend on him to be dependable to get some good numbers out of him on a consistent basis, then goddammit that's what we're gonna do! Get it Lamar!
Radmanovic, Vladimir - VladRad, Radman, Vladi
Enough rhyming with his name, this man is either on the court on fire, on the court not on fire, or on the injured list - so basically he's like every other player in the league. Hmmm. We'll have to give him the If I Weren't Playing For The Lakers You Wouldn't Even Know My Name award.
Turiaf, Ronny - He needs no nickname, he is Ronny Turiaf
The love of our life. Where has he been all this time? We could never get enough of watching him play even if he does earn himself the Please Just Don't Foul Out Tonight award. We like watching the game while holding our breath.
Vujacic, Sasha - The Machine
Excellent play, thanks for a great season buddy. We still can't get over your hair though, that's why we're gonna have to give you the We Really Like Your Headband award. No really, the silver one was our absolute favorite.
Walton, Luke - Luuuuuuuuuuke
Remember back when LL rocked the Kangol hat? We do, apparently Life with Luke does as well. Just sayin'. Either way he gets the coveted Get.It.Together award. Seriously darling, get it together. We don't want to say he's like our drunk uncle who ran into and knocked over the Christmas tree last year while attempting to "help", but... to quote a friend of ours "He's like the Santa Clause of Awful".
We would give awards to the execs and coaches... maybe next week? Stay tuned for the playoffs. No in game blogging because that takes 2 hands and then how would we drink, but there'll be fun stuff none-the-less.

Mambaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooo
Best part:
Mitch to Chris on the phone,
"Will you let Gasol go?"
"For Kwame? Nooooooo, we will not let him go!"
Let him gooooo!
"We will not let him go!"
"For draft picks?"
"Nooooooo!"
Let him go!
"And point guards?"
"Nooooooo!"
Let him go!
"How 'bout for Gasol? Give us Pau Gasol"
Runner up:
I see Phil Jackson staring gently at his hand
Jeanie Buss, Jeanie Buss can you do the fandango
Sexual frustration could threaten Laker nation
Shaq
Is an old man, is an old man, is an old man, is an old man, is an old man and he's slow

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"

Lakers vs. Sonics
A word before the game:
I mean... our blog from last night's game is so offensively anti-Walton we had to have a 3rd party come in and water it down before we can post it to the public. No, seriously. It's pretty bad. Not to mention our love fest for the Utah fans We'll try to hold it together tonight.
There's a lot of bracket madness going on, as was expected, so we just want to give a shout out to whoever the hell kicked the shit out of USC. We hate (understatement) all things USC. Well done sirs, well done.
Tip Off
The recent "usual"
1st Quarter
10:41 We're up by 4, in fact it's 4-0 at the top of the game and Lamar et al are boxing people in the corner and racking up fouls. It's gonna be one of those kind of nights is it?
6:53 Good thing we've got the #8 free throw shooter in the league to brick 'em for us. coughDerekFishercough. Excuse my cold.
Trevor looks quite nice in his suit.
Wow, we've never fallen asleep this early in the game, but Lamar's "persuing perfection" intro was worse than an overdose. Perfection isn't much when it's 3 shots. Just sayin'.
3:35 Ronny is our new hero, Farm life pretty much died a few weeks ago.
2:55 "Don't forget about Chris Mihm"? Most bandwagon fans don't even know who he is.
32.0 Easy with the taunting Kobe, last night's ended in Utah class acts.
34-21 Lakers
2nd Quarter
We're down with the JC and everything but Jesus Christ who let Life With Walton off the bench?
11:24 Durant might get Mbeat up by Mbenga after the game after that stare down.
10:36 Maybe it's because of his lack of haircut, but Jordan forgets the rules of basketball include a 3 second violation.
Could Sasha have better hair than us?
6:45 Luke for nothing!
6:13 Everybody on the floor. Holla!
We clearly have a short set of attention spans because we stopped paying attention long ago to concentrate on Webmd's diagnosis or lack of. Maybe the second half will excite us?
Half Time
3rd Quarter
Nope, second half is just as boring, also, Webmd says that I'm going to die soon so we're shutting down early to watch our last game together. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll make it to Noche Latina to see Los Lakers! Es todo! We're predicting win. Maybe we'll re-watch the game on the DVR tomorrow and at least leave some final comments.

KBB Day
That's right, it's Kobe Bryant blog day. We couldn't be more thrilled, we even had a bunch of witty stuff to type up... and then we ran out of time and the time change was still making us hate our lives so instead, we had a moment of silence to respect the day and just wanted to say:
Happy Kobe Bryant Blog Day!

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
28.5 kdajfdkajkljelkjoi3987u3hfdkafuajfasfjoi
6.9 wHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
6.1 MVP
2.0 We're going to OT, believe it.
93?
OT1
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

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.
Everybody gets Player of the Night.
