Lakers can't play defense at all. Allowing Jazz to shoot 52$ again. Teach some defense PJ!

Okur, Boozer, and Williams are fighting injuries this playoffs too...

I gotta say kobe really forced it in overtime. he couldn't make a shot to save his life due to his back. he should have known better.

then again, if he was healthier, probably most of those shots, especially the lay-ups would have gone in.

saw somethings in the officiating i didn't like, but overall we lost the overtime cause we could make anyshotss

Haters rejoice.

I'll remind you of two games.

GAme 1 1998 NBA Finals.

Game 4 1997 NBA Finals.

MJ didnt come through. The Jazz did.

Who won the series???

Thank you.

LOL at you, there was no single Jazz fan hating on your team or Kobe.
Find something in the history for Rockets fans

u must not be watching the same game i am

I guess I should have added that they can't win in OVERTIME, because that is the only 5 mins I watched, where Lakers get 3 favorable calls.

stop talkin about faking..Kobe was really injured, you can tell by his speed out there.

Injury is a legitimate excuse but theres no excuse to shoot so much when injured..especially the way Odom/Gasol/Fisher/Vujacic played..

Kobe was injured...but what you gonna do man. It's the way it is sometimes.

The injury certainly helped.

If your injured then stop shooting.

Bottom line is Kobe cant post up Kirilenko like he does Brewer.

Pass the ball.

So i didn't hear... did kobe injury his back or not?

Kobay · Post #1434 » by **Kobay** » Sun May 11, 2008 10:35 pm

Utah played good defense in OT. They eliminated anything from perimeter.

Can someone block those obnoxious Rockets fans?

That is like saying Rockets who won 22 was nothing, just a bunch of second-hand units. And, you lost two times to a bad team, how about you start forgetting about a championship?

Which duo will perform better in game 3?
