are the lakers seriously going to blow this? they are so inattentive to cutters on defense and giving up so many offensive rebound. granted, between our series and this game i can't remember a team having as many long rebounds as the jazz (2 wild okur 3's to beat the clock after good defense have given the jazz easy off. rebounds) and that makes it hard to get rebounds when you actually have position, but still. kobe needs to keep going to the basket b/c he apparently can't shoot any more.
I thought Rockets had rebounding problems.... Lakers are getting killed on boards primarily because Pau Gasol is a softie.
Kobe missing shots like T-Mac does in 4th quarters. Of course he will now make a couple after this post I suspect.
I'm secretly kind of glad how the Jazz are playing so well. Proves just how good of a fight the Rockets put up against a very good team.
Laker's inside D is a huge hole. They are actually very lucky because the Jazz's jump isn't good today.
oh now brewer misses an open jump shot? and kobe with another horrible miss on a jumper. what is up with him?
Jazz have outrebounded the Lakers 53-35 so far. That's a troubling sign for Lakers for the rest of the series.
For some reason, a player will play his all out best against the Rockets, but when they face another team they fall flat and underperform.
The lakers are really lucky today! Boozer is fouled out and the Jazz's jump shooting is good. Usually, Jazz is a good jump shooting team.
Deron sucked all night long, too bad he didn't against Houston Kobe didn't step up in the 4th either - he just has a lot of help from his teammates
I thought that the Lakers would have a tough time in the 4th quarter but I'm glad that they outscored the Jazz.
