Game 5: Lakers vs Jazz

[IronMexican]

Let's hope the Lakers close this shit out!

[jazzypimp]

Let's hope the Lakers close this shit out!

No worries... I think the jazz are too demoralized to get up strong for this game.. Our european players are already booking their flights back to their homelands!

[JoeTait75]

Lake Show will build a huge lead, piss most of it away, but still find a way to win. That seems to be their M.O.

pretty much...hopefully they'll put 4 quarters together next round. This sleepwalking shit has to stop

[redzero]

The Jazz are finished, and Boozer is packing his bags for Detroit.

I actually think the jazz brass are hoping for this to happen...

[redzero]

Fixed loser!!!

Thank God! We need somebody who can score other than Chris Paul.

[Allanon]

Game 3 loss was a wake-up call for the Lakers and especially Phil. Phil's not stubbornly sticking to his bench rotations. I've noticed in game 4 he changed his sub timing. He's yanking anybody when they suck. Much shorter leash on the Lakers right now.

Lakers will grab the lead and finish this one off in style.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I hope somebody goes fishing!

[turiaf for president]

its over. time to get ready for houston in the next round

[KSeal]

It will be interesting to see how much the Jazz actually try. If they get down by like 10 early I think they just pack it in. So many of the guys on that team are FA after this year they probably don't even give a shit at this point, especially after that game 4 beat down.

[TheMACHINE]

jazz can try all they want. They'll lose to anyteam in the playoffs on the road.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

[Allanon]

Kobe and Lamar will get some more time at Small Forward to make up for Luke's absence. Ariza is a go for tonight according to Phil.

[Allanon]

I just saw an interesting stat...I had no idea it was this bad.

The last time the Jazz beat Kobe at Staples Center was in 2000.

[Spur-Addict]

This might get really ugly before halftime for Utah.

[KSeal]

This might get really ugly before halftime for Utah.

Lakers will probably sleepwalk their way through the whole game like they always do and then barely pull it out in the end, they're just lame like that. I wish they would jump on them early though, if they do Utah will probably just fold.

[SpursDynasty]

This is a 7 game series. Utah will win tonight, take care of business at home in Game 6, then take care of business in Game 7 on the road. It would have been better for Utah to finish the series in 6, but I suppose they'll be fine going 7.

[Girasuck]

The Lakers will score 40 in the first quarter and coast from there. This game will be over after 5 minutes. This has game 5 against the Spurs 2 years ago written all over it.

Masha Kirilenko went off outside the locker room after game 4. I'd love to see Sloan bench AK for the entire game. As far as I'm concerned, I hope LA blows us out of the building tonight so we can finally get to the off season. I'm more interested in the off season anyway. Screw this year.

[Allanon]

I read about that...Masha went into psycho mode in the post-game.

[Bob Lanier]

Lakers will let the Jazz back into it and have to bring the starters back to get the lead back up to 15 in the fourth.

[IronMexican]

I'd hit it.

[Matchman]

:flag: Lets go jizzholez win one for the rockets! :flag:

[Bob Lanier]

What a crossover by Williams on Kobe!

[iggypop123]

if kirelenko wasnt going nuts from the perimeter this would already be over

[IronMexican]

Game

[Bob Lanier]

Reggie Miller keeps giving the Lakers inches. Now Odom's 7-1!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuc@ you Steve Javy! LOL

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Utah sucks !!!!!!!!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Kobe for 3!!!!!

[Allanon]

Reggie Miller keeps giving the Lakers inches. Now Odom's 7-1!

Hahah, I heard that too. Lamar's probably a little over 6'10 but Reggie keeps calling him a 7 footer.

Now he's 7'1 :lol

[IronMexican]

:)

[TheMACHINE]

its SHOWTIME!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

The Demolition has started...

[IronMexican]

Who's taller; Yao Ming or Lamar Odom?

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

"Showtime reborn"

[j.dizzle]

Lamar Ming is beasting it tonight!!!! actually hes abused Utah the whole series..Andrew should of just brought his lap top to the bench cuz we dont need him vs utah! haha

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuc@ showing us higlights of the bobcats!

[IronMexican]

Damn, I thought this game was almost over. It's barely the third.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

C'mon Lakers, keep them in the ground.

[j.dizzle]

Its pretty sad that most ppl thought utah would beat up on the Lakers physically. I feel like they havent even broken a sweat vs this team. Its been easier then i even thought

[j.dizzle]

Now i know why Phil wanted to play Utah haha..NO is a joke though how do u lose by almost 60 at home? i feel bad for hard workin fans that pay good money for tickets

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Keep attacking!!!!!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

LMAO@ SpursDynasty, what now! You still think this is Utah's series?

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

It's nice to see Powell get some minutes.

[hhml]

Kobe should start passing the ball. He's scored enough. I hate those forced shots he keeps throwing up.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I wonder if in the next round Phil is going back with Bynum as a starter. He hasn't been a factor but I would like him to build some confidence in route to the finals.

[Allanon]

I wonder if in the next round Phil is going back with Bynum as a starter. He hasn't been a factor but I would like him to build some confidence in route to the finals.

Both Bynum (vs Yao) and Farmar (vs Brooks) are gonna see some run in the next series.

[ElNono]

Bynum looks kinda lost out there...

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Vujabrick!!! Misses as usual.

[Bob Lanier]

Lakers will let the Jazz back into it and have to bring the starters back to get the lead back up to 15 in the fourth.

:king

[hhml]

This is pathetic. 19 pt lead down to 11. Must they always do this?

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Utah cut it to 11.

[j.dizzle]

Phil shouldnt of even put bynum & powell in. They have no rhythm since they've been on the bench so long. Stupid move by Phil. He should of just played the starters 40= minutes since they'll have 4-5 days of rest after

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

WTF !!!! Well it's not the first time we've seen this.

[hhml]

Utah is just hustling for every rebounds while Lakers stand around and watch.

[Road Warrior]

Down to 6...

[DrHouse]

This is what happens when Phil plays River Boat Gambler.

Way too much time left for him to insert Bynum/Powell who have both played like dogshit, and continued to play like dogshit in the minutes they were given.

Give Utah momentum and life. Don't call any timeouts. And you have a 22 pt lead cut down to 6 fucking points. I hope the Lakers lose this game so Phil can understand that his method of not calling timeouts is an EPIC FAILURE.

[iggypop123]

the price of getting bynum some minutes

[iggypop123]

i understand bynum getting some time but powell? come on

[DrHouse]

I've never seen a championship team blow so many leads like this.

I just don't know if this Laker team has what it takes to win it all. Championship teams don't have this kind of mentality. Championships teams don't DO THIS.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

We went into one of those Spurs droughts.

[Roxsfan]

Holy shit Gasol and odom are softer than a baby's butt.....OMG they let Ron Brewere out rebound them, and go up for an emphatic dunk right in front of them:wow

Kobe looks fucked up in the face, what happened?

[hhml]

Kobe, pass the damn ball instead of forcing those stupid ridiculous shots.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Knock the Ft down and we should be good

[ElNono]

Wow... no call on Brewer and then they call that bullshit on Odom...

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

We want Tacos!!!!!!

[mavs>spurs2]

Jazz passin the ball around like some scared pussies no one wants to shoot. And they've blown 2 layups. Good going assholes

[hhml]

Lol, can't secure a rebound at all. Even when they do Jazz take it back.

[Bob Lanier]

Sloan's going Dirk on that chair!

[mavs>spurs2]

make that 3 missed layups

[ducks]

refs suck
this is only game 5
why are the refs handing this game to the lakers

[hhml]

Odom's been huge for us this series.

[DrHouse]

This Laker team needs to beaten mercilessly after this game.

Phil Jackson needs to be caned.

This is pathetic basketball by the Lakers. You just don't close games out like this. You don't do this if you are a championship team.

This is why I want Phil fired. He will not get on this team one BIT for blowing the lead like this. He won't do anything. Seriously I pray we win so he can go off and retire because his methodology of doing nothing HURTS this team and instills the WORST habits you can ask for in a team.

[Banzai]

Lakers=losing leads.

[ducks]

Sloan's going Dirk on that chair!

most coaches would pathetic no calls

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Bad finish but still gonna get the W.

[DrHouse]

Eh the Jazz were playing recklessly, it's hard to call fouls when you play that frenetically. The refs would rather let the contact go then blow a call. And Utah missed a SHITLOAD of wide open layups, they only have themselves to blame for not taking further advantage of that.

[Roxsfan]

Lakers look like shit out there. But a win is a win I suppose.

[iggypop123]

see you next week yao

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Odom with the Tomahawk !!!!

[ducks]

they were fouled you dumbass

[ElNono]

LOL Price... LOL! :lol

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Bitch ass Price you out boy!!!!

[hhml]

If you think that ugly blowout by the Nuggets today was not for the faint of heart, then you should definitely stay away from watching the Lakers. This team blowing big lead after big lead is really pathetic.

[ducks]

now lakers are talking shit



CALL THE T"S YOU IDIOT

[Allanon]

Lamar kicked some serious ass this series.

[iggypop123]

wow they fucked up kobe's eye

[Roxsfan]

wow they fucked up kobe's eye

Props to kobe for not making excuses about the jazz exposing a laker weakness........wtf happened to his eye?

[Banzai]

that was an OK win.

[j.dizzle]

hahaha Lakers need better competition. They went up by double digits in all 5 games. stupid rotations by Phil is what is making them give up leads but its all good. He wont be throwin Powell in there in the next few rounds. Bynum has no rhythm right now. He was not needed vs Utah & phil should of just stright up told him haha.

[TDfan2007]

The Spurs always blow big leads...sometimes teams just lose focus.

[j.dizzle]

Ronnie Price & Milsap looked like hall of famers though in the last few minutes..I miss those 25+ point blowouts from the beginning on the season. They need to get that damn mentality back

[TDfan2007]

btw the officiating to finish the game was AWFUL!

Sure is frustrating to watch.

I feel bad for D-Will, such talent wasting away on a mediocre team. He should get out while he still can or really follow the footsteps of Karl Malone and never win a championship ring only to finally go to another team before retiring. He deserves a ring. The rest of the Jazz team can go serve burgers for all I care.

[Lars]

God I hope the Jazz fall apart in the off season.

[Donkeybong]

Lakers played great up until the 7 minute mark of the 4rth. Then started playing sloppy with no Defense. The bench has to stop losing leads. We need to keep the pressure on but still move the ball around. I think once we get a big lead, a lot of players try to go for home run plays.
