I sincerely think LA will lose this series. New Orleans v Jazz with Hornets going through in the West IMO.
I mean throught the whole series which people were already comparing the two on page 1 or 2, trust me I know how hard it was for Mac because I have scolosis myself.
Boozer gets away with murder on that pick and roll....do they ever call a foul there? its unreal. Shouldve been called offensive on last play of the 4th quarter and just right then. i officially hate the jazz more than any other nba team ever....and i hate the lakers too
I hate the Jazz but I want to see a Chris Paul/Deron Williams matchup, but please Jazz don't make it to the finals.
Ugh... As much as I don't like the Lakers, I want them to win this series so bad. I do NOT want to see this Utah team proceed any further. They take this one though. This is painful to watch.
Why do the refs feel the urge to call a foul every time someone falls down? Just let it go. It seems that most of the time they just call a foul from every contact and then try to think who to charge as opposed to actually call fouls.
I just want to type it's over. But AK47 fouled Kobe on 3 pt shot. WTF! Not too many smart players nowadays.
One more thing, Jazz are lucky too 1st round: against Rockets(without Yao, Rafer) with hurt McGrady, Shane 2nd round: against Lakers with now hurt Kobe
kobe was hurt. but why did he try to ballhog the ball in OT? odom and dfish got you back in this game and yet kobe then started to shoot with no mercy while obviously in pain. lakers let this one go. they better hope kobe's back is fine.
I still dont get why Kobe always gets a free pass? As the LA fans are saying, "Kobe's ego lost them the game." LO and Fish had the hot hand and he took 36 of the laker's 92 shot attempts in the entire game. Tracy played just as badly hurt, well he played hurt the entire series.
I wonder how serious Kobe's back injury is. If it costs the Fakers the series, the Jazz have officially signed a deal with the devil. The 1st round, they get to play the Rockets who are missing Yao the entire series, Rafer for 2 1/2 games, and have at least 2 other players(including T-Mac) banged up so badly that they need offseason surgery. This round they get L.A. who is already missing Bynum and Ariza, and now has their superstar with a bad back and a broken pinky. As far as Game 4 is concerned, I really felt that the Fakers should've gone for 3 and the win at the end of regulation. Sure, they had the momentum going into OT. But they also had a severely limited star who was moving in slow motion out there.
Lakers WTF is going on? Lose to the jASS again? I hate the Jazz... and Kobe isn't any better than T-Mac today
As a Rockets fan. Nobody here should even be trying to hear about any damn Kobe being hurt. Screw that s*** I'll bet my life savings that Kobe gets a free pass while T-Mac is ripped to shreds while playing at about 50% and having to shoulder the entire load AND with no help or even any respect from the refs.
Uh huh. Better keep your day job Nostradamus. If Kobe doesn't fully recover, I think the Jazz will take this series. If Kobe bounces back, the Lakers will probably close 'em out.
