Official Jazz vs. Lakers vol. Game 5 5/14/08 7:30PT TNT

[dako akong otin]

more games, more ratings

 

[cruzair13]

lamar is just destroying boozer and okur.
okur is weak, weak, weak.
lakers get game 6 in utah would be soooo sweet.
eh, those ignorant fans.

 

[dyyhard]

Oh, I'm not complaining. While I'm incredulous as to how the NBA allows the Jazz to play that way and especially people complaining about the refereeing being in the favor of the Lakers, I'm over complaining about them. I'm more concerned as to why the Lakers frontcourt players haven't started doing the same thing until tonight. I didn't see Game 4 so I don't know how Odom played there, but tonight he was finally pushing Boozer and Okur back. I noticed that at the end of the game even Gasol finally decided to start mixing it up and not worrying about fouls.

That's how they need to play.

yeah this game should help Gasol/Lamar a lot..they are discovering what they can do playing out of their comfort zone - which is physicality - while beingeffective/productive.

Millsap wasn't a factor tonight, which is really surprising, he definitely needs to stay out of foul trouble.

I swear I'm still amazed that Lamar got an And 1 on that dunk but that wasn't any worse that AK's to finish Game 4.

I don't know what's going on but the NBA doesn't want home teams to lose.

It's not that the league doesn't want home teams to lose, it's that the refs always want attention and admiration from the fans, those power-hungry bastards. Why else do you think they always make super-dramatic gestures to wind up the crowd with their calls?

On those two And 1's there was no contact literally none. Dudes barely even swiped at the ball

A real talk they don't hold back at all on TNT

 

[jretro23]

they just burned avery real bad

Honestly that was a horrible flop but I'd bet money that would get called in Utah.

 

[reignman23]

It came down to the wire just as I expected. I like how Lamar played tonight. Good job by Kobe defering to his teamates and not taking difficult shots.

Now Lakers have to go handle business in Utah.

They are looking to pocket a couple refs for game 6.

 

[solefob]

those no calls were huge, not just cuz the lakers scored off those rebounds but that if they were called, Utah would have been shooting free throws possiblygiving them the lead.

 

[knightngale]

i dont see the lakers winning in utah with the refs advantage over there

Kobe's conference

I still think it goes to Game 7.

When Boozer is on his game, the Jazz start rolling.

Boozer has pretty much been a no-show all the games at Staples.

Game 6 back in Utah, so..

 

[nycknicks105]

^^but the Jazz has all the pressure on them to win right now...it might just end at 6. I called this going to 6 too.

hope I'm wrong

Refs always want to put on a show. I'm surprised they haven't started cupping their hands around their ears to hear the crowd before making a call.

co-sign...they get the caLLs in utah and vice versa...game 6 is gonna be tough...im not gonna be surprised for a game 7 on monday...I HOPE THE LAKERSCLOSEOUT in 6!!!!!!!!
