Title: Playoffs ~Los Angeles Lakers (57-25) vs Utah Jazz (54-28)~ Round 2
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on May 03, 2008, 01:54:39 AM
Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers
Round 2, Game 1.
Sunday May 4th, 2008.
12:00 PM (Pacific) on ABC.

I really don't see how Utah stands a chance. They have individual talent, but 0 defense. They're more prepared for playoff basketball than the Nuggets, but still not ready for a team like the Lakers. I can see Utah getting 1 win in, MAX. San Antonio is next. 8)

Let's go Lakers, good they didn't have to play against Suns after years, and I think Spurs won't advance, that is just my opinion

should be an intruiging series no doubt. i think the series will revolve around deron williams, as he goes so do the jazz. i think the lakers have got the perfect antidote for him tho in derek fisher.

coming into the playoffs I was pretty high on the Jazz. They were actually the scariest team in the West to me. But they didnt impress me much in that first round. I originally had picked them to beat LA in round 2, but I think ima go with the Lakers in this one. Lakers in 6.

what was up with that no-call at the end of the 3rd?

it's like the refs just start heading out when the ball goes in the air

is there anything else to look at other than the lob and the catch and the attempt to shoot?   :grumpy:

that's what's up.... it got a little close there, but Utah is a good team. However.... we take game 1. :)

Jerry Sloan is flying his team back to Utah instead of keeping them out here. He doesn't want his players fucking around on Sunset Blvd...lol. Smart guy...

because they have been a very good team all year, and completely flew under the radar. the type of team that could surprise somebody.

Utah is a good team... I liked their resiliency being down 19 earlier today... this is going to be a good series. I don't see them beating us this series, but you can't take them lightly also.

Post by: Antonio_ on May 04, 2008, 04:55:42 PM
Lakers dominated the game in the first 2 quarters and a half by going +19 too. Then they relaxed. It happens. I mean Utah had nothing to loose, so it was easier for them to play better and to try to make a comeback. If we can keep our concentration high for the whole game we'll win Game-2 too, easly.

Game-3 will be the key one.

to put the Jazz in a very bad place. But never count out D. Williams dude is  :o
Sloan needs to put a boot to Boozer, this dude must be battling some injuries he hasn't told anyone.
his performance towards the end of the year and thru the post season has not been Boozer like.

on the real, i wouldnt really it was our WORST. our bench was unproductive and we threw turnovers like crazy, but i dont think we played that horrible. the jazz were just too much for us today, and hit some unbelievable shots at the end of the game.

Odom shot 100% from the field. Too bad he only took 3 fuckin shots in 43 minutes. And Farmar sucked tonight! Only reason I won't shiet on Gasol is cuz I don't want any Kwame flashbacks.

ok i really hate to sound pessimistic, but to people saying 'oh dont worry, they only won cuz they were at their best,' yall gotta understand that this is playoffs, teams are SUPPOSED to be playing at their best and jazz will do the exact same thing at every single home game.

if we play better for game 4 (which we should, we're fuckin sad if we dont), then we could knock it out in 5 games, but this aint gonna be no walk in the park.

calm down. doggystylin said "we can handle them, this was just a slip-up" which is basically the same damn thing. maybe i should've went back and just quoted him to specify, but dont assume the statement applies to u and get defensive about it.

u shouldnt be talking about anyones paraphrasing. i agreed with u by saying we still have a good chance at winning game 4, but then i said it aint gonna be a walk in the park. not to mention i just disagreed on the playing at our worst part. just because they played incredible today and defended us well for once by shutting our scorers down and getting key steals doesnt mean we were at our worst. that means they outplayed us on both ends of the floor. jazz outhustles just about every team on the planet on their home court.

i dont need to watch the game again. we had stupid plays and didnt guard the ball as well as we should have, but the biggest reason we lost was because they were shutting us down on the defensive end. plain and simple.

this is stupid, im pretty sure ull agree its not even worth an argument. bottomline is their intensity level is a billion times higher at home and even if we do stop throwing retarded turnovers, it still aint gonna be a walk in the park.

yes... those missed shots open shots, missed easy layups and ball turn-overs through the hands were from some really tough defense...lol. 

the only thing the Jazz did better was hitting better shots this time around... their intensity was higher, but nobody is questioning that. despite all of that, if we made our easy shots, we win this game...

Kobe steps on an ankle driving to the hoop and its a foul? Are you shitting me.

That was the worst call I have seen this year.


as i called, the Jazz won game 3.


It's called a tripping foul...


I'll take this loss, it's all good...The Jazz played their best and they still looked very beatable tonight, if we woulda' brought our A-game.

I think Kobe is going to be more agressive in the early going in Game 4.. Pau needs to adjust on his TOs .. when a guard comes to help , keep the ball high in your hands , if not you get stripped ... Pau and Lamar need to make Boozer play some D so he won't save all his energy on offense as in Game 3... I wouldn't mind Phil to play Turiaf more minutes, he always does the best job on Boozer on 1 on 1.. Jordan is really dissapointing in the playoffs .. not only his shot is off but he's making very poor decisions when it comes to running the O .. get burned by Williams every time ...

Together with Gasol & Odom having subpar games (for them)
Tips for tommorow: take it to the hole early, get Booze in foul trouble and don't let Okur shoot the three. (That's all he can do)
live with AK47's & Korvers jumpshot's.
Put Sasha or Kobe on Williams instead of Farmar when Fish in not in the game.

I can't be mad at the guys... they came back from 12 with minutes to go in the face of a loud crowd, bad ref calls and injury. The only one I have to call out is Farmar and Radmonivich. I do wish that Kobe would have passed the ball more in OT instead of trying to win it. His back was too much to bear and he should have deferred.

Back to L.A. .... where the Jazz will be a different team.

A real MVP would have deferred to the hot hands, especially if he was physically incapable.  Instead, he had to be the one to knock down the shots in the clutch and cost them the game.  MVP! MVP!

LMAO (not really, but since you like to start off every response with those same 4 letters, I thought I'd play along) These Kobe Cock Lovers are just too much. 

Phil even said that Kobe took too many shots in the press conference after the game.  And if Kobe's back was bothering him so bad, and he can't move fast, he can't drive, and he can't shoot then he shouldn't be out there.  If he must be out on the court, than he should purely facilitate.  His slow ass can still quasi drive to the hole and kick out to Fisher or Odom.  You know, the 2 guys responsible for the comeback?

if it weren't for Kobe Odom, we wouldn't have even been in the position to go into overtime.
Fisher was driving to the basket when he can't even dunk. It's a good thing he found his shot later in the game.
Vujacic was trying to handle the ball and get penetration at the end of regulation even though he usually does nothing but stand on the 3 point line (even during fast breaks). but he put up good shooting numbers.
Gasol had butter on his hands and missed an easy dunk.
Vlad Rad coundn't buy a bucket.
Odom was the only one playing with heart and consistency in the 4th quarter. He made the key 3 pointer and the offensive rebound and layup after Kobe's miss.

A real MVP would have deferred to the hot hands, especially if he was physically incapable.  Instead, he had to be the one to knock down the shots in the clutch and cost them the game.  MVP! MVP!





LMAO...These Kobe haters are just too much. Kobe was off in OT, but it's Phil who draws up the plays, not him, smart guy. He was obviously told to take over in OT, and they were running ISOs for him.. his shot just wasn't falling in. Still, without Kobe, we wouldn't have been anywhere in that game. LOL@tryna make a mockery out of the greatest player on the planet because he was playing through a back injury. Tony parker is outplaying your MVP. :D

LMAO (not really, but since you like to start off every response with those same 4 letters, I thought I'd play along) These Kobe Cock Lovers are just too much. 

Phil even said that Kobe took too many shots in the press conference after the game.  And if Kobe's back was bothering him so bad, and he can't move fast, he can't drive, and he can't shoot then he shouldn't be out there.  If he must be out on the court, than he should purely facilitate.  His slow ass can still quasi drive to the hole and kick out to Fisher or Odom.  You know, the 2 guys responsible for the comeback?


Yea, and who was the one kicking out the ball to Fisher when he hit those threes...hmmm? Could it have been Kobe?

Kobe is not responsible for this loss...Should he have went about the overtime period a different way? Probabaly. But if he makes those shots, he's a hero.  If he misses them, haters like you instantly jump all up on his dick, despite the fact that he's been the best player in these playoffs thus far. I can't fault a player this great. as great as he is, we can't expect him to make them all.. Dude just became the first player to put up at least 30-6-6 in 4 consecutive playoff games (and he did it tonight for the 5th consecutive time, as well), yet you still bash him because he didn't bail the Lakers out, like he usually does. Well, if he didn't have that bad back, best believe we'd be singing a different tune. You act as if he just pulled a LeBron...PeACe

At the end of regulation, it looked they really wanted to go for the 3, but then Fisher ended up taking it to the hole. They wanted to steal that without going to OT, but it didn't happen. Kobe's shot wasn't falling, but it happens. They have to look for him with the game on the line, it will fall eventually. People need to stop hating on his game, or LeBron's or CP3's just because they are a fan of the other, they are all GREAT players. I think the Lakers will win the next 2, but I expected the Jazz to be a lot tougher than Denver, and knew they would present some problems. That block that Price had on Walton was ill, Luke should have dunked it.

Hey, if he's the MVP he's going to be subject to criticism.  You said it yourself, when he was facilitating the Lakers went on a run.  Why did he stop?  Because he wanted to be the hero.  Kobe is still Kobe regardless if the NBA is trying to market him in a positive light solely because he is clearly the most talented player in the league.

Phil said it himself, the team bailed on Kobe towards the end. Odom and Fisher stepped up, but Luke, VladRad, and Farmar really folded under pressure. Losing Turiaf to that BS flagrant 2 call didn't help much either. Every player has an off game, and when your back is injured and you put up 33 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists, that's a pretty good off game.

We can talk 4ever about everything but the MAJOR reason of these 2 losses is Fisher in early foul trouble .. each time the Jazz has capitalized on Farmar VERY poor D and his poor execution of the offense, to build an early double digits lead ... that's the key of the upcoming games , Fish has to stay out of foul trouble

2.8 APG
2.5 RPG

I agree, Farmer is an important part of the Lakers 07-08 season.
What Utah should worry about is him having a breakout game, those averages during the reg season
vs. the Jazz would have buried Utah in those two loses.

Notice how all the Lakers back ups are in their mid twenties. Young players tend to play shittier on the road. That's why Utah is so dominate at home, but they can't play for shit  at on the road. Hopefully going back to L.A. will be the thing that shakes off the rust from these young guys. Having home court advantage is such a benefit for the Lakers.

ha ha....ha muthafucka. I think Parker might disrupt your D more. Parker makes his living penatrating into the paint. Fish or Farmar wouldnt have a chance stopping him. Plus, one of the Lakers big issues during the season has been defending the three. A point guard consitently in the lane will cause problems. Not to mention, you wont be able to double off of Duncan either. Regardless, Paul....Parker....either way you guys are fucked lol. Id say against us, the Lakers would really need Odom to be a force. He's too quick for Oberto or Thomas to defense, and too big for Finley or Ginobli. Against the Hornets, a different story...I think Kobe would average 40/ game against them.

Williams was the reason the Jazz stayed in that game last night, because Boozer has been ineffective in each game in L.A. Sasha almost cost the Lakers the game last night, good thing Kobe was distributing and Gasol played stronger inside than normal.

Paul is way better than Williams imo .. Williams has only the edge on outside shooting ..  he can't really impact a game as Paul does , at least not on  a consistent basis ..

^LOL...seriously. We murdered him in that last match-up vs. New Orleans. And if the Utah series is any indication, we have great defense from the PG spot in Derek Fisher.

Farmar would match up better with the lil' Paul.
(Williams is too strong for him)

Peja is the only guy I fear on that team.
he can explode for 25+ at any moment.

Peja can be contained because he's strictly a jump shooter. I'd be much more worried about Paul.

I think Paul would disrupt your D far more then Williams can. He can get into the paint easier and kick it out to the open shooters. You guys already have a pretty suspect defense against the three. So youre right to be worried about Peja. Like i said, Spurs are takin game 7. But in the event of a miracle ( ;D), the Hornets would give LA trouble. Utah has givin you guys fits on the boards, the Hornets would probably be just as bad and most of NO's strengths, play to LA's weaknesses.

It's gonna be S.A. coming out of that series. (IMO)
So if the Lakers pull it out tonight, They should get prepped for the Spurs.
Both D.West & Chandler are banged up, plus S.A. played their best game last night.
(This fucken series is weird, both teams are beating each others ass every other game)

I think S.A. pulls it out tho.
T.Parker is gonna be a prob. (Speed Demon)

Sorry to spoil your fun buddy, but it looks like you are lonely in the Game 7 dept. (except for when it comes to any Hornets & Spurs fans)....

I would wish you guys luck in your Game 7, but I want y'all to lose. So forget about me telling you all to go to church and pray. Go out and do everything you can to piss the man upstairs off and have him look down upon your team with a frown.  8)

at this point, they have to worry about beating us.... and beating each other first. we'll be ready for them... plus, we did what neither of them have done so far in Round 2, and thats win on the road. Not only did we win on the road but we beat the best home team in the NBA.

I'm not worried about either teams .. of course it will be tough but imo Lakers control their destiny .. we have way too many weapons on the offensive end and decent on D .. our athleticism would be a nightmare for the Spurs and the Hornets have absolutely ZERO answer for Kobe , contrary to the Jazz who had some tough defenders to throw at him
