Utah Jazz @ LA Lakers - Game 2
Posted: Tue May 6, 2008 9:03 am
The Utah Jazz are looking to sneak in like world-class assassins and drop the hammer on the Los Angeles Lakers where they least expect it -- on their home court in Game 2. The Lakers are on a desperate quest to rule the NBA world. This can mean only one thing...
Bond(s) and Crew
Deron Williams is: Bond #1
Smooth, calm, and a little bit full of himself, he knows he's the man, but he doesn't tell you about it. He shows you what's what by getting **** done.
Ronnie Brewer is: Felix Leiter
Bond's right-hand man, he won't be at the center of any explosions or unprotected sex, but he's always there, waiting to bail his pal out.
Andrei Kirilenko is: Valentin Zukozsky
Bond shot him in the leg once (during last year's off-season), but both have something the other needs, so this self-centered, egocentric Russian is going to come to play.
Carlos Boozer is: Bond #5
He talks a good game and his first outing was pretty badass, but kicking guys' heads in and looking cool doing it seems to bore him these days. He's sloppy and unfocused, but if he gets his head on straight, he'll take care of business.
Memo Okur is: Bond #2
He's a little bit slow, a little bit sluggish, and he's not much to look at, but at the end of the day, his intensity proves effective. Sleep on this guy and you'll be sleeping with the fishes.
THE BENCH:
Paul Millsap is: Bond #6
Young, ruthless, and looking to prove himself in a dog-eat-dog industry, he'll do whatever it takes to get the job done, whatever it costs him.
Matt Harpring is: Bond #4
This guy doesn't have time to play games. He knows what he's good at, and he's going to keep on doing it 'till you're staring at the ceiling.
Kyle Korver is: Bond #3
Don't count on this pretty boy to get his hands dirty. He's all finesse. But he's pretty good at getting a look at the target, and he can hit it from 20 feet out.
vs.
The Megalomaniacs
Derek Fisher is: Oddjob
You may not think it likely, but he'll break your back when you least expect it. Or maybe he'll just swat at your legs.
Kobe Bryant is: Ernest Stavro Blofeld
The leader of a famous and diabolical criminal organization, this man knows every trick in the book and he has the skills to use every one of them. More often than not, he has his way ("on AND off the court" - Bill Walton).
Lamar Odom is: Alec Trevelyan
Versatile, reliable, and well-schooled, he'll pick you apart while you're busy with everyone else. It may not always look like it, but he'll quietly do you in.
Vladamir Radmanovic is: Boris Grishenko
Awkward, annoying, and generally worthless, he can still hurt you if you leave him all alone and give him ample time to use his one and only skill.
Pau Gasol is: Franz Sanchez
Part finesse and part power, he's at heart an opportunist. He can plow through you when he needs to, but he prefers to choose his spots and get the drop with a well-timed surge.
THE BENCH:
Ronny Turiaf is: Jaws
No one claims his game is pretty. He's blunt, intense, and at times over-eager, but he's generally effective regardless.
Sasha Vujacic is: May Day
Tireless as a machine, but difficult to look at, this hired assassin does his job with the utmost confidence.
Luke Walton is: Le Chiffre
Cold, calculating, and brilliant, he makes up in skill and good sense what he lacks athletically.
