i remember people from utah saying that mcgrady choked in the 4th because he had one bad game

well GOOD JOB WILLIAMS MVP


Deron has already made it out of the 1st round...TWICE

And he's only in his 3rd year..

Mcgrady = CAREER LOSER

And the Lakers have completely throttled us in the last few minutes.. Disappointing. :noway:

This game makes me think this is going to be a good series. The Jazz played atrocious in the 2nd, and the Lakers thumped them. The Lakers went cold after halftime and the Jazz made a game of it, but went cold again themselves.

I think I was wrong, by the way. The Jazz CAN win this series with Boozer playing like crap, and the Lakers can certainly win this series if Pau were to play like crap in the remaining games. These teams have a lot of weapons.

Good game, Lakers. You deserved it tonight and will be a formidable opponent.

That was a better game than I expected. I still don't expect Utah to get more than 1 game at the most, but it should be fairly entertaining, anyway.

Utah has a shot taking game 2 ^^ But the question is, will Boozer show up for the game? o.o??

Coming into this series, I thought the Lakers were going to get outrebounded pretty bad but god damn... I didn't think it would be this bad.

Too early to say that. Everyone thought the Spurs/Suns series would be hard-fought after game 1 too.


Good point. We'll have to see what Games 2 and 3 look like.

This is so wrong, that some fans think that their players are Angels who don't foul and don't play "dirty"
Your players are pushing when going for a rebound like everyone else.
I'm sick and tired of this "Me holly you not" attitude.

If you can't even make Kobe sweat you can't beat the Lakers.

P.S. Nice Stat padding layup by Deron Williams.

McGrady has a long storied career of choking to draw on.


oh sure

last year game 7

29 points 13 assists (thats choking rofl)

this year game 6 40 points 10 boards 5 dimes (thats choking)

i'm not saying williams was horrible but if you wanna diss some players because they have a bad 4th quarter then dont go all defensive when we say something about williams not playing good in the 4th

Deron is 1 assist and board away from a triple double in this game.

Booze did have 15 and 14, but also had 7 turnovers. And most of them resulted directly in Laker poitns.

I think we were all watching the game that you weren't watching...
