Utah Jazz

[boibastos]

i hope that the lakers get a bit overconfident and that the jazz play with the same spunk they showed in the denver series.

Don't worry, that's a given. There will be AT LEAST one game where the Jazz will be running us to the ground and those idiots will be going "but, but, but....they don't even have Okur!" Think Houston series last year.

 

Then there's also the inevitable, "let's ignore the fact that we have the advantage inside and instead get into a jack-up-the-random-3-match." Then we wonder why we were blown out. It happened all season, in the OKC series, no reason to expect it wouldn't happen again.

Eto lang yon in the past kahit nandoon si Kirelenko at Okur may ipinanalo ba silang series sa Lakers? Wala. In 2008, partida pa sila wala si Bynum at Ariza. The Lakers won in 6 games against the Jazzy. Last year. Nanalo ang Lakers ulit against the Jazz in 5 games. Sa game 1 nanalo ang Lakers. Halatang halata na hirap na hirap silang mag matchup sa laki ng Lakers front line. Pede siguro nilang ma tie ang Lakers sa home court nila. Pero mananaig pa rin ang Lakers sa series na ito.

 

Kahit manalo naman ang Jazz sa game 1 it's a seven game series. One win by the Utah Jazzy doesn't eliminate the Lakers.

welcome to all the laker fans ! imho even the laker fans have that kobe like swagger. yup face it the jazz have a mountain to climb. but it can be done. like the denver series ... all the jazz need is to steal a game away from the lakers. go jazz !

[complicated8]

May swagger din naman si Deron and Boozer. Did you see that dunk (and 1) by Deron on Artest?

 

I'm just hoping that the lakers keep improving in the playoffs because they haven't been the same at the end of the regular season and early against the thunder.

[FF]

the lakers are truly part of the combustible mix of nba playoff basketball.:-) seems like kobe and company always draw the attention of the most passionate posters in mtc. just keep it civil gentlemen. as it is we have seen the mods clamp down mercilessly when the posting becomes a tad "overenthusiastic".

 

just saw the game highlights and the jazz were in the game behind by just one pint with 1:45 left in the 4th quarter.

 

perhaps the difference between this jazz team and the last two beaten by LA is that the team is tougher and shoots the three with more confidence.go jazz and steal one from the lakers .

[complicated8]

Jazz lost but valiant effort. Lakers not locking down on defense on the jazz on 3rd/4th quarters.

[FF]

too long,too big,too quick and too much kobe. the jazz take it on the chin and head home down 0-2.

 

still and all i'm proud the jazz. they could've dogged it,and given up when the lakers led by 15 but they fought all the way back to close within four. sloan's boys have nothing to be ashamed of as they left everything on the floor.

 

time to head home boys,heal up and let's hope the crowd gives the team a lift.gooooooooooooooooooo jazz !

[ec11]

really like how this team plays, too bad they were assigned against the lakers which is a team i love the most

thank you for being magnanimous in victory. guys you do the lakers name proud by being two of the classiest lakers fans in mtc. sayang there aren't more of you around.

[boibastos]

Lakers, as usual, playing with no sense of urgency after getting a 2-0 series lead. It's a miracle the Jazz are only up by 8 in the 2nd.

[bizzboll]

korver was rollin tonight...

finally artest started making his 3's... that was a very close game...

[boibastos]

Lakers win 111-110. That was an outstanding fight put up by the Jazz. We had the game in the bag in the last few seconds and they still gave themselves TWO chances to win it. Unbelievable.

careless inbound by artest he should have called a time out.....

deron williams had a good look and I thought matthews tip will go in...

wasn't artest's fault. fish should've gotten it, but was hit by matthews before he could get the pass. you'll see it in the highlights video.

[junix]

jazz had its chances...but give it to the lakers. those two consecutive 3s by kobe and fish were daggers. sweep or finish the series at staples?

[uaeboy25]

sayang, sana nag 2pts na lang, kaysa nag tres. mahirap pasok ung follow up shot.

True... the Lakers have beaten the Jazz consistently during the past couple of years... that is why I was hoping the Nuggets and Lakers meet in the semis, but without George Karl the Nuggets lost early. The Lakers will beat the Jazz... there is absolutely no reason to think otherwise.

[webslinger]

pero itong game 4 sa jazz ito sure yan watch it bro......

[13Nails]

pero itong game 4 sa jazz ito sure yan watch it bro......

Its possible... the Jazz might win game 4, but winning the series is out of reach in my opinion.

[FF]

hope the jazz get one.but i believe kobe and the lakers will be going for the jugular on this one...

[Mango Man]

a healthy Kirilenko would really have made a big difference, had he been able to play from Game 1.

[complicated8]

pero itong game 4 sa jazz ito sure yan watch it bro......

 

Am watching

[complicated8]

last 2 mins....

[khilua23]

talo nanaman... games 2 to 4.. laging 111 ang final score ng lakers ah.

[FF]

congratulations to the lakers and their fans! good luck against phoenix. and to my beloved jazz...you symbolize grits guts and determination. we weren't even supposed to get this far and the fact that we did showed how much we believed in ourselves and in each other. hats off to jerry and his boys. goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jazz!
