Like the blocking call on the Lakers when Deron was furiously out of control? Guys shut up. We can play this game all day if you want. It does not change anything.

Like the 2 blocking calls that should have been charge, like that 3 point shot foul that wouldn't have been called if it is anyone else other than kobe shooting it.


only one of those blocking calls should have been a charge. the 3point shot was legit. don't blame the refs, blame kirilenko for taking stupid risks. and in the 4th quarter anytime the jazz dribbled even near the paint it was an automatic foul call. maybe you should have seen the whole game.

T-Mac stepped up as the series progressed, Kome has gotten worse.

Heck I am not even fan of any of those 2 teams, I just said what I saw in OT, if Jazz gets a million favorable call in regular time, point that out and I won't argue because I didn't watch it.

Good luck Next game cause Kobe is gonna Rape someone, and it's probably the whole Jazz team!

the flu is significantly easier to play with than a back problem.

A flu isn't exactly as bad as a bad back!

kobe has done that also. the flu is a whole body ache that is constant. specific injuries, especially to the back take away speed and jumping. which were the two things kobe didn't have in the 4th quarter onwards.

but even despite, the craptacular overtime preformance, it was down to 2 with about 1:30 left.

and don't get me started on the number of times boozer threw fisher while setting a screen.

all i can hope is that kobe heals up for the next gam.e

Well I said I only watched OT, so if you are saying Jazz got al lthe call in regular time, fine with me.

I do not think you can give the Lakers a 3rd chance to win on the road in game 6 they way it has been playing out in Utah. So I still stick to Lakers in 6.

Jazz choked away the lead, but Kobe outchoked them down the stretch. It was still a great game.

How many rings does T-Mac have 0
How many teams has T-Mac been on 3
How many playoff series has T-Mac won 0
How many times has T-Mac choked = Error Error that number is too larger to post

Youre right, he wouldnt go 2-11. He would go 1-8 in one game and 0-7 in the second!! Dumbass!


Uh oh, Jazz fans are getting mad. Is it because they see ANOTHER season ending without a championship???
