1st of all, i am sorry for the defeat. At the end of 1st quarter, we deserved the defeat. It is so nonsense to talk about what happened on other periods. 1st period created a downed mental on our players. They knew LA is a strong team and also they knew the (crowded to overflowing) fans will be so sorry after a defeat. Those 2 factors pushed them into stress and we couldn't make it over. If 1st period wasn't like that, no doubt, we would play better and win the game. Pay attention, i don't blame any of our players because we need them for the rest games. GO JAZZZZZZZZZ

They deserved to lose and the lakers deserved to win.

the lakers were motivated for this game, while the Jazz looked slow and sluggish...the lakers, especially the reserves, were running, pushing the ball and fighting through screens...

the Jazz handled the game like just another game in a 100+ game season..

should they meet in the playoffs, it will be very different..
