GAMETHREAD: Jazz vs Lakers, Anaheim 8:00pm MT

I disagree with Hayward playing pretty good D. He gave up going after his man when he was shooting more than once

 

[InGameStrategy]

In Q2, Kirilenko active early with a block or two, a rebound or two, and a couple of shots or so.

After Artest takes it to the hole, Utah is up 46-38 with 7:30 left. Check that --49-38 after a Raja trey, which is especially satisfying given who is defending Bell [allegedly].

He cut off penetration from Shannon Brown and played good D against LA's rookie Ebanks IMO, besides his hustle steals. Not saying great but pretty good for a rookie.

AK starting 2nd half well as well a couple of mistakes offensively but playing good D and hustling along with a 3 and tough 2 handed dunk in traffic.

Big Al is blockin Pau like crazy

Pretty happy with Big Al's D. He must have just been disinterested in playing it at Minnesota.

Man how many homer Laker announcers do they need?

About the same amount of Jazz homers that the local Jazz affiliate has? *shrug*

Utah frutstrating the Lakers. After an Odom turnover,even Kobe isn't immune from committing a techincal foul under the new rules.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Utah looking much better defensively than in years past.

 

[NAOS]

passing out of the post is our biggest problem.

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

Jefferson with a couple of nice spin baseline post moves on Gasol besides the D mentioned earlier, hasn't had to pass much this game but I think he showed earlier he is a willing passer but it will be something to watch for still if he gets doubled on that move.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Jefferson doesn't look comfortable in the pick and roll at the moment.

 

[Scat]

Wow... Kobe 2-12 and only 7 points.
