The Post Up: Lakers Clinch #1 in the West

While Detroit takes care of business

By: Holly MacKenzie

It’s finally here. The last day of the regular season is upon us. I am happy, sad, excited, every emotion you could think of all rolled into one. In fact, I definitely was up later than usual last night writing away and as a result, hit the snooze button a whole lot this morning. Oops.

The big story from last night is that the Lakers clinched first in the West. I’m thrilled about this, obviously. After the Kings had won against the Hornets and had taken San Antonio to the final possession, I was a little worried about the game, but there was no need as the Lakers turned it into a 30-point blowout before the fourth quarter hit.

Did anyone catch the New Orleans/LA Clippers game? David West had 20 of 26 points for New Orleans. He was hitting everything. He came back down to Earth though and the Hornets won. Julian Wright also had a crazy dunk in that game.

Great, great, great video from Odenized of Sheed’s dialogue with a ref. My favorite part is…. Well, there are too many, the whole thing is fantastic. Check it out! Classic.

With the win over the Timberwolves, the Pistons clinched the second best record in the NBA. They looked great in the game and their bench is going to be the advantage in every match up they face. Stuckey, Maxiell and Aflalo have been fantastic for them this season.

Did we talk about the Cavs/Wizards yesterday? I cannot tell you how excited I am for that match up. DeShawn is crazy and I love it. Gil is great and I’m so happy he willed them to that win over Philly this past weekend. Shut up the haters and prove he is here to win.

Well, I guess that is it. Tomorrow will be the last day of the normal Post Up, recapping up the final games of the season. Now, we’ll get to a couple of the games that kind of mattered last night, since there were a ton that didn’t. Oh, the end of the season, it must suck for those not playoff bound (I’m thinking of you, Golden State Warriors. Dammit, you belong!).

LA Lakers 124 Sacramento 101

In the final game of the season for the Lakers, they knew that in order to clinch first in the Western Conference all they would need to do was find a way to win against the Kings. After watching the Kings take down New Orleans and then almost overtake San Antonio, they knew it might not be as easy as they had previously thought. At the half, the Lakers led 62-48, over the Kings who were without Ron Artest, Kevin Martin and Brad Miller. In the third, the Lakers blew the game wide open, outscoring Sacramento 39-24 and holding on to a 101-72 advantage at the start of the fourth quarter. LA rested it’s starters for the final period and gave the bench extended minutes, still the Kings could not keep up. Pau Gasol led the Lakers with 22 points, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points and Lamar Odom had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Quincy Douby led the Kings with 32 points while Beno Udrih had 22 points and Francisco Garcia scored 15.

Detroit 115 Minnesota 103

With a game in Cleveland scheduled for tonight, the Pistons faced the Timberwolves last night and they took care of business thanks to their star bench. The bench contributed for 55 points in the game last night and were a large part of the 115-103 victory over Minnesota. While the game was close in the first quarter and the Pistons led by only one, they extended their lead to 52-43 at the half and continued to build it up in the third, going up by as many as 16 points in the quarter. After the lead had been built, the bench came in and finished the game off for the starters as the Timberwolves were unable to cut the deficit. Detroit was led by Jarvis Hayes and his 20 points off of the bench while Richard Hamilton scored 18 points and Chauncey Billups scored 17 points. Al Jefferson had 30 points and 9 rebounds for the Wolves as Rashad McCants scored 19 off of the bench as Marko Jaric and Randy Foye each added 13 points.

New Orleans 114 LA Clippers 92

With the Hornets trying to wrap up their regular season on a high note they needed a win against the Clippers and then another one tonight against Dallas. Their victory over the Clippers last night ensured that they won their division and it was a celebration in New Orleans, after the game. While the Hornets still have a lot of work to do, they reveled in the joy of their accomplishments this season as their fans showed them the love. Although they had won against the Clippers, the two teams were tied at 26 at the end of the first quarter. David West had scored 20 of those 26 points for the Hornets and it appeared that he was going to have a big night. The Clippers found a way to keep him and the rest of the New Orleans squad contained as they took a two-point lead into the break. This changed in the second half as the Hornets used a 26-6 run in the third quarter on their way to outscoring LA, 34-17 in the period to change the game. New Orleans led 83-68 at the start of the fourth and went ahead by as many as 30 points in the quarter as the Clippers folded. West finished with 32 points for the Hornets, Chris Paul scored 22 points and dished 12 assists, Julian Wright had 14 points off of the bench and Tyson Chandler had an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double. Al Thornton led the Clippers with 26 points, Corey Maggette had 13 points and Nick Fazekas and Smush Parker each added 10 points in the loss.

TADOne says:
Holly, how much wine did you finish off last night?

Apr.16 at 10:39 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
haha hursty. I want every series to go to 7, triple OT, except for anything involving the Lakers. Let’s extend these playoffs as much as we can.

Apr.16 at 10:40 am

Simone Lawy says:
holly, will we get the chance to read the PLAYOFF post up???

Apr.16 at 10:40 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
hahah, the sleeping was probably a result of my NOT WANTING TO FACE THE FINAL DAY OF REGULAR SEASON. So exciting and so sad all at the same time. I’m not ready for the finish of Jax, Baron and Monta either!

Apr.16 at 10:41 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
Simone, you won’t have the Post Up during the playoffs, but there will be a ton of coverage around the site!

Apr.16 at 10:41 am

hursty says:
Julia Wright? holly…..

Apr.16 at 10:42 am

TADOne says:
Also Holly, don’t forget about Jarvis Hayes coming off the Detroit bench as well.

Apr.16 at 10:42 am

Bryan says:
F*ck Detroit.

Apr.16 at 10:43 am

TADOne says:
Ahhhhh Shia, I really do hope you are around tomorrow to bid a proper farwell.

Apr.16 at 10:44 am

Eboy says:
“But can it be … when we can see
So vividly a memory
And yes you say so lost a day
To fade away
And leave a red sun
So gold”

Apr.16 at 10:45 am

Eboy says:
If TAD can jump ahead, so can I. :)

Apr.16 at 10:45 am

Winston and the Telescreen says:
Holly,
tell us once and for all who the MVP is

Apr.16 at 10:46 am

Bryan says:
KObe= MVP

Apr.16 at 10:46 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
Hurst you’re killing me! haha I’m fixing it.

Apr.16 at 10:47 am

H to the izzo says:
I wonder who Holly wants to win the MVP?A mystery…

Apr.16 at 10:47 am

TADOne says:
Oh, and Sheed is the best. That is why the refs love him.

Apr.16 at 10:47 am

Eboy says:
And by my calculations, somewhere in the vacinity of 825 comments was The Post Up record. I think we need to beat that to give Holly the proper sendoff.

Apr.16 at 10:47 am

Simone Lawy says:
got it, i’ll ready for it … … wild wild west showdown. kb 4 MVP

Apr.16 at 10:48 am

hursty says:
I heart Sheed

Apr.16 at 10:48 am

Bryan says:
I’ll probably only be able to make a very brief appearance.. It’s my only day off I usually spend with the lady and I have to take her to the doctors office.

Apr.16 at 10:49 am

TADOne says:
Well, once the West is figured out after tonight, we will have plenty to talk about tomorrow.

Apr.16 at 10:49 am

Eboy says:
Is there hidden meaning behind the dr’s appt, Shia? :)

Apr.16 at 10:50 am

hursty says:
eboy-your around the right mark. Remember sayin’ we were gonna get 1000? that was crazy, having 3,4 comments a minute. talking was almost impossible.

Apr.16 at 10:51 am

TADOne says:
Probably is, that is why he is going. Shia, you will have a 20 comment minimum to get in during that time, so warm up your fingers, f*cker.

Apr.16 at 10:51 am

BETCATS says:
RJ is a flaming f@ggot

Apr.16 at 10:51 am

hursty says:
hope the lady is well. You know that if you put the first initials of Bryan and Shia together you get a lie….

Apr.16 at 10:51 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
KOBEEEEEEEEE

Apr.16 at 10:51 am

Bryan says:
Sheed is the best.

Apr.16 at 10:52 am

Eboy says:
I’m going for it tomorrow, even if I’m on my own in the chore. I already cleared my calender. Wife’s birthday, Holly’s last Post Up. It’s all about the ladies tomorrow.

Apr.16 at 10:52 am

H to the izzo says:
Tommorrow shall be explosive.

Apr.16 at 10:53 am

Bryan says:
I don’t what hidden meaning it would be but it’s just a physical.

Apr.16 at 10:54 am

hursty says:
wtf is all this mailto sh!t that comes up when we write rude words…? eg f@ggot.

Apr.16 at 10:54 am

Eboy says:
It was a joke, like a baby check, fu*ker.

Apr.16 at 10:55 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
BET, I was pretty angry with that stupid dunk too.

Apr.16 at 10:55 am

Bryan says:
If I could read this sh*t from my f*cking sidekick maybe I could comment more. Fix that sh*t Slamonliners, I used to be able to do it.My first appearance was from my old dwade.

Apr.16 at 10:55 am

Bryan says:
Oh f*ck I hope not Eboy. :(

Apr.16 at 10:56 am

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
That rasheed clip is just wow. There is no way that the majority of players in the league would get away with chatting the way he does. “I ain’t scared of y’all” I’m sure would be a T if anyone else said it. Barkley got teed up for “I don’t care if he’s Michael Jordan, thats still a foul,” or words very similar to that.

Apr.16 at 10:56 am

jbn74sb says:
Next time you want an accurate Lakers preseason prediction, let me know, and I’ll think about it.
In other words, please re-run the Lakers (as well as the others) prediction(s). The truth is posted by me in the comments.
You’re welcome.

Apr.16 at 10:57 am

hursty says:
its BS shia. jokes dude. just like when Kobe decides to pull down the nuggets shorts in the playoffs. Caught out again. I will say it again. Melo will never LEAD his team to a chip. He is the Dirk to AI and Kidd. Great player but….

Apr.16 at 10:57 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
Bodie, I’m still waiting on Russ and his star to show up in a photo here on the site.

Apr.16 at 10:58 am

Holly MacKenzie says:
How sweet it is.

Apr.16 at 10:59 am

Eboy says:
Yes, swami from the West, this is from the same guy who guareented the Suns wouldn’t be in the playoffs after the Shaq deal. It’s nice that the Lakers had a good season, but being sh*tty for a few seasons really made you characters sound desperate.

Apr.16 at 11:00 am

Eboy says:
Sorry Shia. I was truly just fuc*ing with you. :(

Apr.16 at 11:00 am

hursty says:
YEH Holly! totally forgot about it!!! ‘How sweet it is’ (Rockets commentators)

Apr.16 at 11:02 am

hursty says:
James too true.

Apr.16 at 11:02 am

TADOne says:
So how is Chris Mihm and his HOF candidacy coming along?

Apr.16 at 11:02 am

Bryan says:
It’s cool I’ll just knock on some wood or something haha. The Lakers are looking good in that one seed though..I do hate to see them knock the nuggets out..I still don’t believe in New Orleans but I’m hoping they prove me wrong and bust Dallas out.

Apr.16 at 11:03 am

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
Any plans post Slam Holly?

Apr.16 at 11:07 am

jbn74sb says:
And by sh+tty, eboy means making the playoffs, in the west, with Smush Parker (who can’t get off the bench for the Clippers) and Kwame Brown (who can’t get off the bench for the Grizzlies) in the starting lineup.

Apr.16 at 11:08 am

TADOne says:
James: No more Krayzie Bone? WTF?!

Apr.16 at 11:08 am

Eboy says:
Leading……..

Apr.16 at 11:09 am

hursty says:
holly, i assume theres a final post up tomorrow, yes?
Also, does that inc. a post up ‘greatest hits’ thing? please say yes or at least consider it…!

Apr.16 at 11:09 am

jbn74sb says:
eboy - You guys generating any revenue from the new site? Nice work, by the way.

Apr.16 at 11:11 am

Eboy says:
WTF would a greatest hit’s consist of, hursty? Can’t we all go out with a bang without rehashing the past? Testimonials to Holly’s greatness, etc. :)

Apr.16 at 11:13 am

Eboy says:
No, Bodie, on the money tip. Thank izzo, since he had the idea. Matter of fact, if there is any money being made, it’s going to his grubby Irish hands so…. And yes, If you ever want to throw something out there, you’d be more than welcome to be involved if you get some time to write something.

Apr.16 at 11:13 am

hursty says:
yeh eboy! thats nice btw. bet was right in his comment on the rafer injury about the illegitimacy of the site.

Apr.16 at 11:15 am

Bryan says:
I still don’t know why everyone hates Adam Morrison.

Apr.16 at 11:16 am

hursty says:
how the fu(k would I know Eboy? :) Otherwise i will go hunting for crocodile with my pet dingo.

Apr.16 at 11:17 am

hursty says:
because hes white.

Apr.16 at 11:18 am

hursty says:
new link is my dad.

Apr.16 at 11:18 am

hursty says:
not really.

Apr.16 at 11:19 am

hursty says:
69

Apr.16 at 11:20 am

hursty says:
HAHA BET! I got it this time (childish i know :) )

Apr.16 at 11:21 am

hursty says:
long story everyone. I wont go there. actually, no its not, just seems like Bet always gets 69 on post up.

Apr.16 at 11:23 am

hursty says:
i feel far stupide when talking to no-one and making inane statements ( i dont know what that means but it sounds intelligent)

Apr.16 at 11:24 am

TADOne says:
We are building, slowly but surely…

Apr.16 at 11:25 am

hursty says:
whatever. later guys (and holly). have a good day.

Apr.16 at 11:25 am

hursty says:
what u talkin bout tad?

Apr.16 at 11:25 am

TADOne says:
Late Hursty.

Apr.16 at 11:26 am

Eboy says:
It’s like a pre-break up day. Don’t want to give nothing away, stay on point with the conversation show some love like nothings wrong and then tomorrow, flood the gates until she cries.

Apr.16 at 11:28 am

Eboy says:
hursty, have some conversations on the ready about the stealthness of kangaroos and the pleasing nature of the koala bear for tomorrow.

Apr.16 at 11:28 am

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
TAD. I had posting issues with my old name. I think it was misused by someone the way eboys name has, and as a result my posts would disappear into the ether.

Apr.16 at 11:28 am

DP and Free Chilly says:
I’m backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. anyway wow I am in total shock of the first round match ups. Suns and Spurs!!!!!!!!!! Bruce Bowen vs. Amare boxing? sh*t this is going to be ready my friends. ready.

Apr.16 at 11:29 am

hursty says:
eboy this is big for you huh? just like to point out that i have NO IDEA what holly looks like-and i dont even care, hoops brings things together. Tad im still confused.

Apr.16 at 11:31 am

hursty says:
can i talk about dolphins and emus as well. crazy fu(kin’ birds? stealthness? i like your word conjumbulation.

Apr.16 at 11:31 am

d.Y. says:
Pre-Break up day? I didn’t know you had your endings so well planned Eboy. Hi kids. I hadn’t even thought about the post up ending. I figured Holly would hold down the playoffs, and during the offseason, alternately stalk favorite players and tell us what Kobe ha for lunch, or chat with Boom Dizzle’s beard groomer…

Apr.16 at 11:32 am

DP says:
It is truly going to be the post up when the POST season arrives. man I crack myself up sometimes. What the f*ck is Free Chilly still doing in my damn name?

Apr.16 at 11:32 am

hursty says:
that would be nice DY. scary/weird/lawsuit… but cool none the less. Does Kobe get paparazzi Britney style?

Apr.16 at 11:33 am

TADOne says:
Oh, sorry Hursty. That comment was really to Bodie about the blog.

Apr.16 at 11:34 am

hursty says:
no problems. In Aus, we all help eachother out in the outback.

Apr.16 at 11:34 am

TADOne says:
And if you still confused, then click my name.

Apr.16 at 11:35 am

hursty says:
i can write about random sh!t on tangents very quickly. note: this sentence may not make sense.

Apr.16 at 11:36 am

DP says:
wow no post up during the playoffs. I feel kind of empty right now. I guess once summer hits I won’t be on this site till next season starts so it’s been a good ride but all good things must come to an end. hurting.

Apr.16 at 11:36 am

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
Kobe just gets Cabrel Richards dogging him all the time.

Apr.16 at 11:37 am

Eboy says:
hursty, I just figured that since Holly worked her ass off for us throughtout the season, we should recipricate back as the storybook comes to a close. I’m sure it will be around next season with someone else writing it, but Holly’s our girl, and she deserves the love. BTW, she is VERY easy on the eyes, kangaroo bop.

Apr.16 at 11:37 am

hursty says:
tad, for some reason i had always assumed that was just eboys site. I see I am gravily mistaken and beg humble apologies from all concerned.

Apr.16 at 11:39 am

Eboy says:
I’m just it biggest self-promoter, hursty.

Apr.16 at 11:39 am

hursty says:
link a pic? or not, its cool. I know what izzo, yourself and shia look like. Im all over youtube. (your shocked i know)

Apr.16 at 11:39 am

d.Y. says:
Wow Tad. Why are most of Kemp’s kids white? He got a recessive gene or something? I’ma read the pieces later, but you know Hakeem was “Akeem” because they misspelled his name and homie was too polite (shy?) to tell them that they were wrong.

Apr.16 at 11:42 am

hursty says:
if you want to see me hoop a couple of years ago, type (on youtube) words like parramatta 18 mens basketball. Im in there somewhere on a few clips. Also, my main man Ater Majok is bound to pop up there. dude could be a lottery pick in a few years time. Head it here first people. Hes either going to UConn, Kansas or Kentuky. My guess is Uconn but well see.

Apr.16 at 11:43 am

d.Y. says:
Shoot hursty you got me, I only know what Eboy, Tad, Holly, and… no that’s it, I know what they look like an nobody else. What you doin on youtube son? I hope not jumping over cars.

Apr.16 at 11:44 am

Eboy says:
If I typed “kangaroo pleasure” could you be found that way, hursty?

Apr.16 at 11:46 am

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
Eboy, speaking of the site, am I unlocked yet?

Apr.16 at 11:47 am

hursty says:
nah ‘emu strut’

Apr.16 at 11:47 am

TADOne says:
Didn’t know that d.Y.

Apr.16 at 11:47 am

Eboy says:
James, I’ll email you.

Apr.16 at 11:47 am

DP says:
It would suck to get all my mom’s dominant genes if I was Kemp’s child.

Apr.16 at 11:48 am

Apr.16 at 11:52 am

Simone Lawy says:

Apr.16 at 11:52 am

d.Y. says:
Tad, we’re myspace homies, of course I know what you look like. myspace don’t lie. And hursty (i need to change that pic) I was in this play over the summer acting as a begger. I’ve never even seen Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates of Penzance, yes. Simone… apologize?

Apr.16 at 11:53 am

Simone Lawy says:
sorry ….

Apr.16 at 11:54 am

TADOne says:
Shia: I’m not completely sure she is leaving entirely, but she will be around posting for the playoffs. Besides, Slam would be retarted to get rid of her.

Apr.16 at 11:54 am

Simone Lawy says:
hursty…they can’t go any further without yao…..and ya’ll know that

Apr.16 at 11:54 am

Apr.16 at 11:56 am

TADOne says:
d.Y.- I was talking about the “Akeem” thing you mentioned, but are you a friend of mine on myspace? Maybe you had a different moniker on here before?

Apr.16 at 11:57 am

TADOne says:
Oh yeah, I’m a RETARD

Apr.16 at 11:58 am

hursty says:
is holly on your myspace DY? penzance is fu(kin stupid dude, I was in the play. fu(kin hated it. But then again, you can probly act. I liked the affter party celebrations though. that sh!t was off the chain.

Apr.16 at 11:59 am

d.Y. says:
Oh my bad Shia, I shoulda had you in the list too. Tad (don’t make me call out your govt) we all had that day the Postup went to like 800 and Shia was convincing Holly to join myspace so we could all e-stalk her, and then we all became webhomies.

Apr.16 at 11:59 am

hursty says:

Apr.16 at 12:02 pm

d.Y. says:
Penzance is stupid, but I haven’t seen it in probably 12-15 years, so I don’t remember why. Seem to remember the opening number being completely awful.

Apr.16 at 12:03 pm

Simone Lawy says:
2am ??? where’re you live??

Apr.16 at 12:03 pm

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
Not to worry Tad, spelling is not my forte.

when did the 825 comments happened? with the amount of insane regulars we have here it’s definitely possible to hit 1000. my guess is everyone will pitch in and get the “slow down cowboy” warning/note.
btw, tomorrow’s posted up will have to include the final standing and playoff match up, so we can all argue about the matchups until we are all hot and p!ssed off. i mean most of these 1st round matchup could been WCF any other year.
for example, suns/spurs in the first round??? i’m rooting for spurs to go all the way but i’m DYING to see the suns play the lakers. whichever team wins/loses i’m gonna be sad to not see them more.

i do mean “amount of insane regulars”, not “insane amount of regulars”.

tina says:
@Holly for ur last post up can u also attach a picture of yourself? I have been reading your post up all season & would like to finally see the person behind all the Lakers love.

Apr.16 at 4:06 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Hm, maybe some of tomorrow’s comments can even be about the NBA. Remember the NBA?

Holly is MVP of slamonline.

albie1kenobi says:
Russ, i think if we are to achieve a record of 1000 comments in one post, we kinda sorta have to patch the stats. like that one time when the magic called a time out to give whoever the heck his 10th assist for the triple double when the game was over already.

Apr.16 at 6:32 pm

albie1kenobi says:
at least it won’t be like ricky davis shooting at his own basket to get his 10th rebound (i hope we never stoop that low).

Apr.16 at 6:55 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Credit for bringing up Donald Royal’s sole NBA achievement (and credit for me for remembering it was Donald Royal the second I read it—apparently I need to get out more).

Apr.16 at 7:14 pm

Tim Duncan says:
1000 comments? That would be sick. Also, when did Ricky do that? What an idiot.
