GAME THREAD: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz

How can you not love this team?

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

For every one good thing that Jefferson does he does 3 bad things. Most of which are just being lazy.

the Jazz beat the Lakers no need to nitpick 18/13/ 8-17 nice game against a team he struggles against. I thought he played well.

They need to play Watson and Tinsley at point and Harris at 2 gaurd. I'm sick of standing up for Harris.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Harris just doesn't seem to play with much intensity and he gets worse in crunch time.

Yep, I will take 8/17 against Gasol and Bynum.

I feel the best time to nitpick Jefferson is all the time.

I discovered a few years ago, its hard to enjoy a game when you nitpick every little thing nitpick at the end of a loss not a win.

Enjoy it we beat the fakers!!

James Worthy claims the calls were inconsistent and that the Lakers were "robbed a little bit."

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I don't know if it's Al being lazy he's 6-10 about 280-285 and not very athletic as far as flying all over the court. Some players just can't cover as much space as others can.

Nice unexpected win, tuned in late to see the lakers falling apart, that was great!

 

[Stoked]

This is what ESPN has to say about the game so far: "Predicted Bynum would get 24 & 14 tonight"

 

[sepanol]

Favors and Kanter rocked LA. Loved it. Watson was huge. What is up with Burks getting a DNP? He in the dog house?

i think its understandable, because there are 3 guys playing in his same position, bell is somehow a veteran and deserves some mins not more than 20 though, hayward must play, and cj is playing good recently, so hard to find spot for burks especially when howard is there at 3. But he will play anyway in this busy schedule. i think its a good thing burks and kanter getting used to gamestyle of nba instead of taking major mins in their first year, it will be better for them. However i would give them more mins towards the end of year whether we are in playoff track or not.

well I can understand where he's coming from refs gave his laker teams the same star treatment this laker team gets, so he's not used seeing the refs call a game down the middle.
