Good game LA. It is funny how in each game home team is in control for the most of the game...

No, hang this loss on your bigs. Oh and on Utah's defense, it was stellar tonight.

BOOZER monster 27/20

This game was literally a couple plays from turning.

that Boozer rebound on his own miss was PATHETIC by the lakers.

That right there would have changed EVERYTHING.

Imagine it being 93-92 instead of 95-92 OR 101-99 instead of 103-99 wiht 30 seconds left.

Kobe could have scored to tie it and then perhaps OT.

That ONE play....there were many. But whne a guy misses his own FT and rebounds the ball, thats just plain pathetic man. NO boxing out.

Of course thats what the lakers do. They DONT box out very well.

your best and we played bad and you still barely beat us

See games 1 and 2. We played so bad, and they were close in the 4th. The Lakes didn't dominate those games like you guys think.

Like I told you.

Defense was gonna win the game for you guys tonight, not the 3pt shooting.

Good Game - The Lakers are right in there but they cannot get over the 5-point bubble. If they got over that 5-point hump a little earlier the game icould be a lot more interesting.

Anyway 'was gonna give Jazz fans the benefit of the doubt for their whining. But they still end up whining even in a win. :nonono:

**** Sportscenter.

"Matt Harpring, one of his RARE baskets." He was 4-8, jackass.

HammerDunk · Post #491 » by **HammerDunk** » Sat May 10, 2008 3:55 am

Kobe had some killer chucks in this game 2. He can't do it on his own, this is well documented.

GG Jazz.

Boozer was a beast tonight. Basically your bigs owned ours on both ends and that's the difference.

6 rebounds Gasol? Come on now. You gotta do better than that.

Hopefully this loss is a lesson learned.

Good game.Congrats and good luck to both teams. :clap:

The missed free throws by the Lakers hurt us also. Lamar, Fisher and Kobe all missed one of two free throws in the last 5 minutes.

But i agree, Boozer was the difference. He was horrible in the 1st 2 games, but stepped up huge tonight. That was a crucial basket when the Lakers were only down by 3 and the 13 foot jumper over Lamar when we were down 5.

Boozer played a heck of a game. He was without question the player of the game. Okur was great in the first half too.

The crying about refs gets a bit old tho. One would think the Jazz never committed a foul at times reading the ref comments.

Hey Lakers fans, good to see you acting with lot of class here, specially after the game.

You re still favorites, but, who knows right? :wink:

I give props for Korver, he went after the ball after the jump ball and got it. Amazing !

Nice game by The Jazz players, really, really amazing.

Go Jazz !!!!

You know why the home team controlled the game.

Because you got TWO average to mediocre defensive teams on the court.

Whoever gets control, the other team CANT get it back with their Defense because their defense SUCKS my arse.

The Lakers defense and rebounding sucks my ARSE.

Gasol...not only did he do NOTHINg tonight....but he was a liability.

Lakers played BETTER with Turiaf in there and I have no doubt that we come back and win with the D and boards if Turiaf replaces Gasol.

27 and 20 for Boozer while you are 7'1" and you end up with 12 and 6 with 5 Turnovers.

How SOFT are you Pau??? How SOFT????

Everyone was crapping all over Boozer for 10 and 5 the other night.

WELL, 12 and 6 aint much better man. matter of fact it ISNT better at all considering this dude played 40 minutes tonight.

I mean SHT, Kwame could have done that AND done a better job on Boozer on defense.

PATHETIC D and REboundign by the lakers. absolutley PATHETIC.

Those late Utah turnovers (3 back to back) nearly killed em. But Boozer took control in the last 4 minutes or so, single-handedly winning the game.

The game picked up after the midway of the 3rd, and ended pretty good, too.

Which duo will perform better in game 3?
