Game 5: Lakers vs Jazz

[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 LOAD of wide open layups, they only have themselves to blame for not taking further advantage of that.

[Roxsfan]

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

[iggypop123]

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

[ElNono]

LOL Price... LOL!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

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



CALL THE T"S YOU IDIOT

[Allanon]

Lamar kicked some serious ass this series.

[iggypop123]

wow they ed up kobe's eye

[Roxsfan]

wow they ed 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 compe ion. 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]

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 dog , and continued to play like dog 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 ing points. I hope the Lakers lose this game so Phil can understand that his method of not calling timeouts is an EPIC FAILURE.

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!
