[Round 2] Jazz vs. Lakers

if we are healthy, i don't see how we cannot beat all these teams to advance to the finals.

these teams do have more offensive power than us from 1-12, but they either lack defense, rebounding, size...

when healthy, we're fairly above average offensively, have 2 superstars, have a lot of size, superb rebounding the ball, and arguably the best at defending...

watching the playoffs without the rockets SUCK

 

I've gotten used to it around this time for the past decade or so.

 

Look at all the white folks in the game!

Lakers: Walton, Vujacic, Radmon, Farmar (white, I think?), Gasol

Jazz: Korver, Harpring, Kirilenko, Okur, Williams (half white)

 

a lot of those are not even starters

 

Man, I hate the Jazz so much I find myself rooting for the Lakers.

 

Refs are stupid and blind , havent seen it this bad in years

 

Damn Boozer just drilled Gasol in the chest and Pau got the call. hahahaha its all a joke

 

my interest was waning until now, getting good now

 

Boozer just doesnt have the quickness and length against the Lakers. He's sucking balls.

The Jazz should at least take the lead one or more times in several occasions. But AK47, Boozer, & Brewer just missed again and again under the basket.

Only D Will is the baller.

 

Deron is a BEAST.

 

Gosal is the MVP of the lakers. During the clutch time, I didn't see Kobe.

 

KOBE has not looked to shoot at all, uhh, what a life to have real teammates, poor Tmac!

 

Kobe practically set up almost every single basket since he entered the 4th quarter.

 

It seems he trust his teammates very much!

 

Yep...looked just like T-Mac in our series. Guess it makes a huge difference to have players that can make wide-open shots....

It's a miracle that he avg 7 dimes a game this postseason.

 

Silly Okur. Flopping on a critical rebound instead of just grabbing it.

 

If D Will wants to win with these bunches on the road, he needs to take at least 24 shots. He still doesnt know himself is the best scorer on the Jazz. Geeze.

 

I think he knows but Sloan still controls him. Sloan should just give him a free pass to do anything he wants. This is where Sloan's offensive system, although great at making average players look good, tends to take some away from the best players.

 

That's what I kept saying in the beginning of the game. That he needed to assert himself and start scoring in order for them to win on the road. Like Barkley said, role players don't really show up on road games. The stars have to do it themselves.

 

I'm assuming LA wins this series. Do y'all think they can beat SA, NO, Bos or Det?

I think they can beat NO because they have no one for Kobe, and no bench. I can't see them beating SA or Det because they both have better frontlines (and physical ones that will really expose Gasol's weaknesses) and someone to make Kobe work. Bos has no one for Kobe, but I don't see LA beating them.
