Charles really needs to go see a doctor. Seriously, his little bias towards Utah shows more and more every week... The Lakers don't want to see Utah in the first round...lol...cmon Charles.
If the Lakers were so afraid of Utah, they'd be resting Kobe and Gasol tonight. Charles still thinks Utah is a elite team after all their pathethic losses.
Lakers certainly aren't "scared" of the Jazz, but certainly if they could pick they would pick a different first round opponent, right?
The "afraid" part is nonsense, but the Lakers have no incentive to take the outcome of this game seriously. PJ will play their rotation players enough to keep them tuned up but only Utah will go all-out to win. I agree with Barkley that the Jazz will take this game and force the Mavs and Hornets to win tomorrow.
you are fooled by these minutes. Utah starters played not a lot of minutes cause it's the 2nd game of back to back. Usually starters play much more than combined 66 minutes at half.
And Kobe got in foul trouble and only played 10 minutes. But Gasol, Ariza, and Bynum were at their season averages.
Lakers starting pull away. Can't believe I'm watching this game with the same interest that I would a Rockets game.
Deron Williams! Sickest Jazz ever. More X-PLOSIVE than my Diarrhea after a 3 piece Popeyes combo meal!
Last week, the Blazers absolutely killed the Jazz on the boards and in the paint with Aldridge and Oden. Tonight, the Jazz don't even have Okur and the Lakers can't do the same thing with Bynum and Pau.
