If it's a 3, Vujacic or Fisher, please. I really hope Kobe doesn't shoot a 3, he's off today.

:(

[Guest]

So does Williams get the look here?

[Guest]

<3 Derek Fisher.

[illiniguy]

You can't call that. He is mugging Korver the whole time.

[Guest]

OMG, just give the Lakers the game, refs.

[Guest]

STOP SHOOTING, KOBE!!

[illiniguy]

Man when AK wants to, he can really guard.

[illiniguy]

Isn't Utah the home team?

[Guest]

Wow, the refs are completely jobbing the Jazz.

[Guest]

Kobe should only be a decoy from here on out. He hasn't done anything in the fourth quarter and overtime because of his back. If he can get to the hoop, that's one thing. But he shouldn't shoot outside of a few feet away. Fisher and Vujacic are hot so let them shoot the jumpers.

[Guest]

Seriously Kobe, you're really ticking me off right now.

[illiniguy]

Another terrible call. He shoved Williams and Deron gets the foul.

[Guest]

None of the other Lakers are stepping up, though.

 

And how was that a foul on Deron Williams?

[Guest]

OMG, the refs called a foul on the Lakers!!

[illiniguy]

Williams is better than anyone at point guard not named Paul.

If this is in response to me, Derek Fisher hit a couple big 3-pointers in the last couple minutes. Vujacic is 4-5 including 3-4 on 3-pointers today. Odom hit a big 3-pointer and got the tying putback. Gasol is 11-16 today. The Lakers don't need Kobe to shoot right now. If he can get to the rim, as he did the last time down the court, that's fine. But his jumpers aren't really even close so he needs to stop shooting them.

Kudos to the Atlanta Hawks scouting department on that.

Hey now maybe the next time there are two franchise point guards in the draft they will end up picking one of them. But, you got to admit Marvin Williams is probably their 4th best player. Lol

It was to you. Kobe clearly was hurting the team there (except when he got to he basket a few times; he should recognize he can still draw fouls with ease). But in the last minute and a half of OT - when you were making those comments - until the possession where Fisher tried to penetrate, the other guys were standing around. You gotta move if you want the ball from Kobe.

Great game and win for the JAzz, but they can't win this series. They can't beat LA in LA. They don't have the star power.

[Guest]

Kobe's got a couple days to get his back healthy before Game 5 on Wednesday. There's no doubt in my mind that the Lakers are clearly the better team and that, if Kobe is healthy, they'll win the series. I really think they would have won today had Kobe not been hurt the entire game. Nothing went right for them up until the last few minutes and they were still able to push the game in overtime. Even though the series is tied at 2, I would be very, very worried if I was a Jazz fan.

 

However if Kobe's not healthy, the Lakers are obviously in trouble.

Yep, the Jazz should just forfeit and get ready for next year.

I assume you're being sarcastic but I'm not exactly sure why. You admitted in the post right before mine that Utah can't win the series.

[Guest]

Ehh, if Kobe is healthy, the Lakers should win game 5.
