'07-'08 NBA Playoffs

[Pharazon]

Turiaf definitely shouldn't have been ejected. Imo that wasn't even a flagrant foul. He jumped vertically, went for the ball, and the only reason it looked that hard was because of the awkward fall. Flagrant 1 at the most. The refs pay too much heed to player reaction and crowd reaction. Not that it would have changed the outcome of the game in all likeliness, but it better be a damned hard foul to eject somebody in a playoff game. That wasn't.

Good game. Never really felt like the Lakers were going to win though, they just couldn't get over the hump.

Eh, they won, but i dont think they looked all that strong. They barely won 2 games in their home floor. They gave up big leads in both games at the end. Kobe was hurt bad the whole game with his back and his ankle and they still came back.

They did what they had to do and won 2 at home, but they h ave to be thankful they even won them 2 games. Also a few questionable calls like Turiaf getting thrown out. There has been MUCH worse fouls in the NBA play offs where guys like Garnett didnt get thrown out of the game.

Hornets are getting their ass beat.


What do you know though, 3 of the 4 play off series the teams are all winning at home.

[Twobit Whore]

Yeah this is bad.. but I guess it's better now than at home where they could be going down 3-2. No one is having a good night for NO except Paul. Better to get this cold slump over with now and go back to NO and reload.

if the jazz can win every home game, they only need to show up once in LA


who knows, this series has been fun to watch either way

Jazz barely win at home, no way they will win in LA.

It's not like the LA games were blowouts. This last game was close because Derek Fisher hit like 47 three pointers in a row and the Jazz couldn't get a defensive rebound at the end of the game. Obviously the Lakers will still likely win the series, but it's clear the Jazz can win in LA.

The Jazz are a horrible road team, and have shown that all year long. They made the playoffs because of their home record.

Lakers in 6.

You hear Phil Jackson said they are going to win it in 6.

They are also going to remove Farmar from the 2nd string PG position and keep Sasha in there. He's a better defender and a better way better shooter. Not to mention when he went to the lakers at 20 years old he was a PG. This should help out alot. He's a pretty quick 6'7 player.

It was close becuase the Jazz didnt play a complete game. You gotta play hard in the first 48 min. You cant let a team come back from 12 points at home with 2 min left.

Hopefully Kobe can play better under the pain. He did say there's no way he's not going to play in game 5. Dude can play with pain no doubt.

How do you nimrods convince yourselves of this kind of shit? The Jazz won these past two games. None of this "the Lakers played bad and they still almost won!" bullshit. They didn't win, the Jazz did. And there's a reason they played worse than the Jazz did, and the Jazz had a hand in it. There isn't some magical level that teams usually play at regardless of the opponent, and the Jazz are just crossing their fingers and hoping the Lakers let them win. Fuck you. The Jazz BEAT the Lakers in these last two games, and they CAN win in LA(but probably wont.)

The Lakers came back in the end because they made a bunch of 3's(including one from friggin Odom.) If I'm the Jazz I take that situation every day of the week. I mean, what the fuck are they supposed to do, block the shots? Nine times out of ten that game never even goes to overtime.

Goddamn sports fans are so fucking stupid.

Of course they beat the Lakers. Who said they didnt? its 2-2, but i still dont see Utah winning the series. Jazz did what they needed to do, but i didnt see enough of what the Jazz did to win the series.

Who the fuck are you? The Jazz won the last two games, no one is doubting that. The Jazz did to the Lakers what they have been doing all year, beat teams that come to their building. The Jazz lost a total of 4 times all year at home, yet they also had one of the worst away records in the Western Conference and the league. Everyone expected them to win at least one of their home games, and they ended up winning both. However, they could have just as easily lost both games, had the Lakers played better.

Clearly they got lucky against Houston and played well enough to steal a game in Houston late in the fourth, thus giving them back home court advantage.

Quit being a fucking troll, and learn the game and post something of value instead of the inane bullshit you just posted

[Neferata]

Uh, judging by that post, you're the one trolling. You'll get one test response from me. Your future posts will have to be significantly less retarded to warrant further response, though.

Gee, no shit? And the Lakers could have easily lost both games in LA, had the Jazz played better. Thanks for that brilliant insight into the game of basketball and who wins the games. You're really operating on another level, aren't you? The Lakers blew some larger leads in LA. Shouldn't they be beating the supposed worst road team in history by 20+? What does that say about the Lakers? Oh yeah, it says jack shit.

The Jazz won two games in Houston, dumbass. They were clearly the better team.
