Go_Jazz!!!

Yeah, I live in CA so I'm not up THAT late celebrating the Jazz victory! Good luck against the Flakers guys. I think we might need it. (5 against 8 next round)

How could the Jazz have their biggest lead at 85-65 if they ended up winning by 22?

the lakers are a great offensive team, but their defense is beatable. maybe activate fess to come in for 6 fouls against gasol and odom? the jazz need to drive to the rim on every posession and force the zebras to call fouls. go jazz, hope ill be at esa soon

So the Jazz got past the Rockets after all. Very good. Now for the series everyones been waiting for vs. the Lakers. This will be a tough series, a war which has a good chance of going the full seven games. I think the Jazz can pull it off, Kobe will get his points but if they can contain the others they might be OK. Good to see Okur playing under the basket and going after those rebounds. He's playing more physical now. It is crucial to the Jazz success that he play that way. The big fellas have to play in the paint, clear out the opposition and snag those rebounds.

Great win Jazz. But in all reality you whipped a beat up team, so don't get to confident over this series. If Deron, Okur, and another role player for us would have been missing in this series I will guarantee we would be going fishing ourselves. So don't get to high yet guys there is still alot of fish to fry.

How 'bout that JAZZ!! Now, as Karl Malone was so famous for saying; "Let's see what happen". I frankly can't see much good happening for the Jazz, unless they get back to their hardball approach, as in the first two games of the Rocketts (as in Rockefeller Square Rocketts) series. Letting them back into the series by letting them punk us in our crib was just uncalled for....come on!! We all know this series with the Lakers is all about Kobe, so they will put a protective blanket on him just like the officials did with T-Mac....no one will be able to touch him without the whistle blowing. The players on the Lakers that can hurt the Jazz are the second line players, as in Farmar, and all the bizzare named Euro players. They need to play with intensity, not hang their heads, go after them; and they must hold home court at all cost....put bodies on every Laker. It is going to be brutal in Utah for Fisher.....the Jazz fans should not let up on this opportunist....he didn't want to play in Utah...he just want out of the California Warriors situation.

All I can say is play it smart!!!!!

If we can contain the others.
This has been said in every city. It does not work. The team Utah beat was crippled and barely breathing. Playing the Lakers will be 10 times harder and you're not up to it. Remember, the Lakers are playing without 2 of their starting players. A fact most people always seem to forget.
Last thing, the booing of D.F. shows the world that Utah has no class.

I say let Kobe get his 40 or 50 points but stop the other guys on getting hot, that way the jazz has a real chance on beating the lakers.

if that happens jazz on 6 otherwise lakers on 4...

To pull this series off, we need The Booz to step up and give the Lakers fits--just like the regular season; come out of his funk and toughen it up couple of notches, mentally. He's a Karl Malone look- alike but currently playin' without that [The Mailman's] mental toughness... Karl was a Tiger and NEVER backed away in the paint, during the play-offs!!

Come on, Booz, let's go get 'em!!

Tough n ready what are you talking about!?

Malone spent the last several years of his career talking jump shots.

I watched malone his whole career believe he was not all that. A very poor rebounder for his size and strength. couldn't block shot, played defense with his hands down, got an extra 10 points a game because the oofense was built around him.

And boozer isn't either.

He will never be anything more than he is now. An undersized, poor defense and non physical type forward.

TRADE BOOZER NOW FOR REAL BIGMAN. AND A CHAMPIONSHIP FUTURE.
