Well the Lakers passed one test, but miserably failed another. On Friday, they rolled all over Utah at Staples, 123-109. The game wasn't even that close. The Lakers had leads of 15, 27 and 32 after the first three quarters. The game was so out of hand, it prompted this quote by one of the Lakers' L.A. Times bloggers, Brian Kamenetsky, "A beatdown so thorough, AK had 12/5, and I had four blocks. The popcorn guy chipped in with 10, Jack yanked down a couple of boards, and that cute Laker Girl (you know, the brunette) managed a triple-double in only 14 minutes of play." The game really was that lop-sided. But the fun didn't last long.
On Sunday night, the C's rolled into town and rolled all over the Lakers, 110-91, who thought it'd be a cute idea to don their 80s replica unis. And I don't mean just the jersey. They donned those really short shorts in the first half (you know, the ones Magic, Kareem and "Big Game" James wore during the glory years in the 80s), essentially cutting off all their circulation and blood supply in their bodies. making them completely ineffective for 24 minutes. I must say though, Trevor Ariza went so far with it, it was that laughable. He added those knee-high socks and knee pads guys like Magic and Michael Cooper used to wear.
In any case, full throwback ensemble and all, it wasn't a pretty game to watch. The Kamenetsky Brothers, popcorn guy, Jack and the cute brunette Laker Girl were all non-factors, as were most of the Lakers.
Lakers are off until this weekend when Philly and Indy pay visits to Staples on Friday and Sunday nights, respectively, before heading off to Memphis early next week.
