    Looks like Utah will go up 2-1 without Blake and may win the series.

    Probably not, and is only a star at this point, no longer a superstar.

    CP3 will have to carry the team on his back the entire 2nd half unless Crawford comes out of his coma.

    Looks like he took a cue from his banana-boat-butt-buddy Bron. Playing with tons of energy and controlling the game right now.

    Utah has been putting the ball in Joe Johnson's hands at the end of the 4th instead of Hayward, interesting...

    props on Doc for fouling Diaw on that 3...cause LA has multiple knock down FT shooters, and Jazz have no Timeouts

    Why was Boris Diaw even in the game?? He's not a 3 point shooter.

    I know he had 40 tonight, but Hayward looked pretty suspect in this 4th quarter.

    Agreed Jazz should let him walk and we can sign 4 yrs 20 mill.

    Gordon Wayward in the 4th.

    Thats what you get when you have an excellent role player being asked to play as a superstar.

    It's looking more and more like Blake Griffin's career will end up similar to that of Amare Stoudemire as the injuries continue to pile up and his athleticism will just continue to decline.

    I can't see this guy being a factor in the league 5 years from now.

    That's like saying Harden had 44 points and looked suspect because he missed the last shot to win the game

    No, it's not. Harden played very well in that 4th quarter but just happened to miss a tough shot to win the game. Hayward played great for 3 quarters and then looked like a different player in the 4th. So no, that's not like saying that Harden looked suspect.

    He's an All-Star. But he can't be the best player on a title contender. Man, I'd love him alongside Harden though instead of Ariza.

    Yeah, he'd be a huge upgrade. He'd be that secondary playmaker that we need in the starting lineup. Another player that can consistently give us 20+ points would take our team to the next level.

    Blake out for the playoffs for a bruised toe, this confirms that Doc will bring the band back for one more try.
