If the jazz lose tonight do mavs/hornets fans view tomorrows games as irrelevant?

LMAO.

Either way it doesn't matter. Gasol and Odom can guard Okur outside like they do Dirk and Bynum and Gasol can guard Boozer and Milsap inside and make it real tough for them to get good looks.

With Deron also hurt with an ab-strain and LA using Brown more for defense, I doubt Utah gets past 5 games. And they only get to 5 if they win Game 3 - otherwise they're getting swept too.

I want Utah because then the series would be Sun-Tues-Thurs-Sat (Utah doesn't play home games on Sunday) and LA can have their series over in a week or a couple days more. More rest for the 2nd round.

The 1st round has more off-days than any other round

I am saying this. If the Lakers play the Jazz in 1st round its going 6-7 games and the Jazz have a shot at beating them. If I were the Lakers I would sit my starters after the 1st half and try to get the Hornets or Mavs in 1st round.

let me say this again THE LAKERS HAVE NOTHING TO PLAY FOR.

I've heard from good sources on what the schedule will be if LA plays Utah and that was it.

I am saying this. PJ is going to rest his starters in the second half, and the Rockets might draw the Jazz and make a quick first round exit as usual.

Phil won't sit his starters for a half. He will just give his starters longer breaks in the first half and sit them for good early in the 4th - just like the Memphis game.

I am saying that would be the smart move for the Lakers. Sit the players,let Jazz win, play the Mavs and cruise to second round. Jazz could beat Rockets. Jazz could upset any of the teams in the west. The NBA champion this year is coming from the East.

If the Jazz lose tonight, than tomorrow's game is meaningless to me. I don't care too much about being 6th. It's no different than being 7th. To me, being 5th is worse than 6th or 7th.

you guys are crazy.

that's all.

Like I said before about LA's schedule it they played Utah it was correct.

Sun-Tues-Thurs-Sat
