[eatyourchildren]

Kobe needs to stop forcing

I really don't know why the Jazz played the way they did in the 2nd quarter..the game could have been different..at least it's a game now..

[Pai Gow]

Utah is so cheap.

Goodness, the haters never quit.

[JStockLivesOn]

Jazz are showing a lot of heart, but will the Lakers be too much down the stretch? Good game here.

And don't look now, but this has actually been pretty civil discourse in the second half.

Boozer sits... Jazz back in it. Coincidence?

[TheCardinal20]

You can't overstate the way Deron Williams sets up his teammates...

[Cruel_Ruin]

Come on Utah! Deron is doing a fabulous job running this team

I knew the jazz would catch up ^^ D-fence!!

Kind of like how the Jazz never quit....pushing people out of the way to grab rebounds.

[JStockLivesOn]

Phil needs to rethink the defensive scheme now quickly. Put in freaking Mbenga in there!!!!!

That may not be a terrible idea, come to think of it.

[raphleek]

But honestly, no matter what some of us say about officiating, you can't expect anything better then that. They missed some calls, but they try to be consistent (of course with some HCA ) and we can't expect from them to call everything.

No offense to the Paul lovers, but this is what agitate most Jazz fans when it comes to the Paul/Deron debates and whatever. Look at the run the Jazz are on right now, all orchestrated by Deron, yet it isn't pointed out by the analysts or "forced down our neck" by the commentators but he's playing a great game (minus the shooting).

Kobe needs to isolate at the top of the circle.

No, he will only keep settling for jumpers, which in a way, is to Utah's advantage right now.

He needs to get everyone involved like he's been doing the whole game.

He needs to be coming off these off-ball screens, where he can dish to the open bigmen down low, or take it strong to the hoop/pass to the open shooters on the perimeter off the doubles.

And what's wrong with that? It's part of basketball.

Not at all. Boozer has been GARBAGE in the playoffs. I'm so sick of him right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

if only Boozer knew to how to play basketball..

[zen_4_10]

Well, if the refs want this type of game to be played all series we should be sending in Mbenga and Mihm to come in to just throw some elbows to heads and pull guys down by the neck when they are in the air. The dirtier the play the less it's being frowned upon and would be great to see how the Jazz would play with against a little of their own medicine

[Basileus777]

Don't worry Kobe, Odom will carry you.
