I wouldn't call coming back from that lead a choke job. They could have got a better shot off though.


They went into a panic. They choked on their golden opportunity. They did a great job to get back into the game, though.

What a finish by the Jazz. Entire team showed a lot of heart at the end there. Kirilenko was incredibly clutch on both ends.

you're bashing Hubie for analyzing the game, HIS JOB.

so stop posting


He's spitting out BIASED analysis, something frowned upon for commentators. Good job not "caring". STOP posting then.

Choked? Seriously? Don't even **** start, kid. How can the team coming back from a 19-point deficit "choke?" We missed two contested shots.


Ok "kid." Read my post.

Yep. Great fightback by the Jazz. Hit some absolutely huge shots to get back in it (Kirilenko especially). Huge block on Kobe, too.

Jazz had the chance to make this game epic but just couldn't pull it off. Still, very well executed at the end. I could've sworn that Okur 3 was going to go in.

Jazz team is classy, too bad some of their fans are so immature.. I mean who the hell throws things at a teams bench?

Congrats to the Lakers...you guys are a great team. You did exactly what you had to do, and prevailed.

Glad we could at least make you work for it ;) See you next year!

WCF baby here we come. Who expected us to win in Utah anyways, like 2 Laker fans?

You know what the saddest part is? We all joked that it was an advantage when Boozer fouled out, but that really is when things finally clicked in the comeback. If we played Millsap as our primary PF tonight... who knows.

Great series, Lakers. You have an amazing team.

The Utah Jazz put up an amazing fight this series. Definitely exceeded my expectatons. I called this series in six, but I had no idea it was going to be this tough.

ESA is an amazing home court. I definitely underestimated it.

Good luck next season in Utah. Thanks for the great series.

anyone who says that the jazz choked at the end is delusional. they made an amazing run with tons of great threes. they were wide open cause of horrible defensive lapses, but they still had to make them.

I gained a lot of respect for the jazz with how they played today and tried to get back in the game.

good series.

now bring on the hornets/spurs

God, what an absolutely awful loss for Utah!

I was rooting for them to tie it on all those shots.

I would really be down for a little while if I was a Jazz fan....

Very good effort by Utah, but not quite enough in the end. Really should of played better as a whole before the 4th qtr, though.

Lakers got lucky with none of those shots going in, and almost blew a comfartable, sizeable lead. But a win is a win for them, good stuff.

Kobe was just tremendous

They looked better without Boozer out there. Not saying the team is better without him but that's what occurred.
