Utah Jazz are a terrible road team against the Lakers. In their last 14 games against the Lakers in the Staples Center, including regular season and two playoff series, Utah Jazz are an astounding 0-14. (Denver Nuggets have not performed so well at the Staples Center either. In their last 14 games against the Lakers in L.A., Denver Nuggets are 3-11.)

Interesting fact to throw out there. The last time the Utah Jazz won in L.A. was January 1, 2006. Let's keep it that way.

Mehmet Okur out for the season.
Andrei Kirilenko nursing a sore calf injury.
Deron Williams injured his arm in the closing minutes of their last game with the Nuggets.

Utah Jazz will win in the Staples Center someday. But not this year.

On the Lakers road to the NBA Finals this season, Lakers will extend their home dominance against the Jazz.

I love your confidence and optimism, but Lord almighty we are all coming after you if they win Game 1

:lol:

Nice facts though

This year I predict Lakers in the NBA Finals. The road will not be easy. Lakers will make quick work of an undermanned Utah Jazz team. Have a tough series against the winner of the Spurs/Suns duel in the desert, but they will ultimately find a way to make a return trip to the Finals. The only team I see being able to beat the Lakers in the Finals are LeBron's Cavaliers.

(On a side note, I've been pretty money with my predictions in the past 4 Western Conference playoffs (06, 07, 08, 09). Going 4 for 4 with picking the Western Conference Finalists: Dallas in 06, San Antonio in 07, and Lakers in 08 and 09. I don't follow the East too much so I can't make any predictions there.

In terms of last 4 NBA Finals matchups, I'm 3-1. I selected Dallas to win against Miami in 06 but they lost, San Antonio against Cleveland in 07, Boston against L.A. in 08, and L.A. against Orlando in 09.)

Kobe didn't play in that game either due to suspension.

Agree,

Let me add to it.

The Fake show will come out with all guns firing.

Hopefully they will be the victim of friendly fire.

Everyone knows that homies are always bustin' caps on their own by mistake. Perhaps the Hibachi could give LA some consultation for a small fee.

Personally, I would be more than happy to supply multiple AK-47s, as well as the player who is even more deadly. Go on with ya bad self, AK. Laker Nation deserves to be hammered like a Catholic school girl behind the Monastery.

Wow, I didn't realize Denver was 11-3, not that it matters, but that is pretty damned good for a team that is almost always around .500 on the road.

i'm assuming its suppose to be 3-11, not 11-3. it wouldn't make sense after the previous sentence "Denver Nuggets have not performed so well at the Staples Center either".

Woops my bad 3-11.

Utah Jazz have now last 16 consecutive road games against Lakers. Bring out the brooms.
