Great series. Good luck lakers in the next round. Better luck next year all my jazz fan buddies. Boozer sucked it up almost all series. Personally I think these are the two best teams in the playoffs too bad they met here and not the WCF.

Sorry for the jinx. But come one they have spanked San Antonio in every second half. West should be okay by Monday.

Great game... I am proud of my team (almost all of them, Boozer).... they never quit. With that said the better team won.... honestly the Lakers really were the better team... And to the Lakers fans.... way classier than I expected. Y'all are cool. The Lakers are going to be scary with Bynum next year for real. See you next year... beat down your opponent next round (although I want the East to win the chip this year).

Congratulations to the Lakers for going to the WCF.

But i would also like to congratulate the Jazz.Coming back from a 19 points deficit in the 4th quarter to get into position to go to OT is pretty incredible.

despite myself taking part in this lovefest, am I the only one who is amused that at end of every tough series two fan bases that spent the previos 2 weeks ripping each other, suddenly start complimenting eachother.

Im just saying.

BTW, the jazz are a great team.

Jazz are a great team. So many weapons, and offensively they are very discipline when they are on. Beautiful back doors and quick flashes across the lane. It's reallly fun to watch. I thought D-Will should have come out driving from the get go. That was his main problem this series. He just got started too late.

Does Mehmet Okur ever miss a open 3? It seems like he's automatic.

Deron and Mehmet would be perfect in the triangle

Same convo I had with my brother. I was telling him how Okur only misses when he's contested. The Lakers thought that just because he didn't take a shot for a while that he would be cold all of a sudden. That dude and Fisher are complete snipers.

Kobe got a lot of superstar calls there, especially on that charge which they called a block on Deron Williams.

Boozer is gonna get hell. But remember this guy was a beast last year in the playoffs. Didn't he drop 40 on the Rockets? And the Warriors had no answer for him either.

I want the Hornets to win because I cringe at Horry doing that stunt on Kobe.

Korver won't be getting any sleep tonight. A missed shot is easily forgotten, but a missed opportunity to take a shot and you will always regret it :nonono:

I give Sloan a lot of respect for his interviews. No BS and straight to the case. He's a great fit for a player like Deron IMO.

well he shot 96 free throws in 6 games..maybe he got a couple calls but he was very agressive driving to the basket all game.

Wednesday. We get a lot of rest. The other team has one day off and then off to LA LA land.
