Hilarious....Hubie talks about how the Jazz are maximizing their possessions and they turn it over twice right after that.

Deron needs to take over here for the Jazz. As soon as he stopped being aggressive the Lakers got back in the game.

Freaking missed free throws. This should be a tied game now if we could make them.

We need to continue getting stops now. Finally some defense.

Crunch time. I'm actually surprised that Sloan even called a TOut there. If we can't regroup and come out with some scores, we don't deserve to win this. Great game, btw.

I hope the Jazz at least pull their home games out. It would go far to show people just how difficult it was for Houston to steal theirs in Utah. Not to mention I hope Utah moves on to better things so we can say we lost to the champs.

1) those are lucky...not great D...great D is rotating and contesting and then rebounding.

2) Fisher and Kobe missed two huge FT's right there.

This game could have been 95-94 if they both made their FT's right there.

That would be HUGE pressure on the Jazz man. Basically, anything could happen.

Right now, being up 3, we need a few more stops and scores.

Lakers CANT get stops consistently.

Its actually kind of funny to see this.

MJ's Bulls would have had the lead by now because they would have clamped down on these guys.

LBJ's Cavs would have had the lead by now because they would have clamped down on these guys.

AI's Sixers would have had the lead by now because they would have clamped down on these guys.

Kobes Lakers???? NOT SO MUCH. GOOD Job PJ...GREAT Defensive coach.

Now, after the game, lets get to the gym tomorrow and work on that freakign triangle offense of ours.


Like to contradict yourself do ya?

Defense is about the players. And yeah, the Lakers suck at it.

Yeah, but if we don't miss free throws, we're up several more. All a matter of perspective.
