Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz

Didn't Kobe step out of bounds? And the showing up the ref thing. Give me a break..

You don't think that is what he is trying to do? I would agree with that. Kobe is missing shot after shot and not getting his way, which is getting a foul call on every shot. You bet he thinks these refs are off their rockers.

28 team assists. That is very nice. I would say that we are winning because Kobe is sick, but he has had more than just a few 7-22 nights when healthy. This is a great game, and we are going to go 3-1 through this stretch of 4 games! I never thought we would do that.

Screw it, we are on a 8 man rotation with two rookies, if they would of conserved Kobe's minutes he could of been a little more consistent. Still he was really aggressive and could of won the game for the team, but the rest of his team didn't give them a chance.

God should of fouled out for bestowing bad health upon Kobe, then he would of blown up for 81pts

Very satisfying win. I am surprised to go 3-1 on this 4 game stand.

Man seems like the whole board was at the game lol.

LOL, Kobe is on my pantheon of most hated, right up there with BYU and USC, but reading this stuff is cracking me up. Most of the guys on our team wouldn't have even dressed with a broken finger and a day of IVs. He's a POS human being, but his talent on the court is undeniable as is the fact that he will go to war no matter what. I wish more of our guys had that kind of fire.

Nonetheless, great win for the Jazz. I wish you guys could've heard Hot Rod doing the color, it was hilarious. First of all, he's clearly uncomfortable when he's not talking all the time. Couldn't quite figure out when to talk or what to say. Then, I think he kept forgetting he was working for the Lakers. He was clearly bummed when he thought Deron got a foul when in fact the Lakers got called for 3-seconds and he blurted out, "Ahhh Deron". Then he had to explain to Joel Meyers (the play by play guy) who "Memo" was. Good stuff.

After the game, the L.A. media performed a combo Q&A/rimjob on Phil Jackson. Apparently, flying from L.A. to Utah and losing an hour for the second of a back-to-back is akin to flying from L.A. to Prague.

What a second half, all I got to see because of work, Brewer played really well in the third. And man was it refreshing to see Miles, Brewer, and Matthews not take Artest's guff. If we can keep this confidence and cohesiveness going we'll be one the teams players hate seeing on the schedule. Great game by everybody.

Well I see no other Laker fans came to give props so I'll do it, don't want to make it seem like we have no class or nothing. The Jazz made some great adjustments this time around, they did a good job on taking Bynum out the game. Sloan wasn't going to let both Pau and Drew beat him again.

Jazz did what they were suppose to do.......win at home and they took it to the Lakers.

I dont like this kobe is a warrior crap. He hurt his team by not playing any defense. If he wasnt well enough to play both ends on the floor he shouldn't have played.

Nah, that's on the coach, not teh player.

From a Laker fan. Good win tonight. I had a feeling you guys were going to take this game ever since our guys started show boating at the end of the last game Thursday. I had a feeling that doing that would give you guys a little more motivation to come out and jump on us early tonight. Games at the tabernacle are always hard to pull off, especially on the 2nd day of a back to back. Good game you guys...

Thanks lakers fans for the props.

Lakers is one of the most difficult teams to beat.
Remember we still are without AK, Korver and Price. Miles is miles away to be at 100% so this victory with 8 players have a better taste, without a doubt.

[HolyToledo]

Good win the Jazz but it was expected by me. The Jazz now need to blow out the Twolves. Barely beating them is not enough. Then the real test begins!!! the five game eastern road trip requires that the Jazz win at least 4. Winning 3 and losing 2 is not good enough. If the Jazz only win 1 or 2 games then who cares about his laker win.

You're as bad as the TNT guys with their endless stream of "miles" puns. He looks pretty much 100% to me. He's shooting well and giving some good effort on defense.
