    See what happens when this team can make the open shots and force turnovers. Took away the easy fastbreak points and controlled the game from the beginning. I think the refs were a little wistle happy when the Lakers were down in the 4th but Boozer finally showed what he did during the regular season. When he can make those shots it is a different game and if he can stick with it, the 3 will open up even more.

    Jazz still need to take care of business Sunday at home or this game will not matter.

    I woke up this morning still tired and lacking motivation. I turned on the tv, saw that the Lakers lost, and have been having a great day ever since.

    Go Jazz!

    Man...an Orlando vs NO final would be great (for me)!!!

    Orlando just needs to step up and do their part. Battling Detroit right now in game 4.

    Very good series so far.

    Bench played lights out for the 2nd straight game and the refs laid off their wistles for a bit. Kobe's back could be a huge blow for the Lakers. I think he will play his normal minutes but back problems causes pain all over. His legs will start to give out on him, etc.. I think the Jazz should continue to let multiple guys guard him so others can stay fresh and hope he tires out like he did in OT today.

    The Lakers are a pretty thin team with injuries and if they get in any foul trouble they are in a deep hole, especially with Fisher. The dont have the bodies down low on the bench to win if they arent hitting outside shots.

    They still have a decent chance to win some games with home court but I dont see them being lucky enough to make much of a serious run...and wouldnt be surprised to see the Jazz win in L.A. if Kobe cant be himself.

    Next year with Bynum, Ariza, and Mihm back they could possibly be the best team on paper.

    Hornets struggling bad tonight. Down 13 at the half, I sure hope they can come out on fire in the 2nd half. I don't think there's any way the Spurs can keep shooting 60% the whole game.

    I seriously hate the Spurs they whine so much and get EVERY Call and if they miss a shot its a late whistle foul. Don't even think about playing any type of defense on Timmy.
