Jazz vs Lakers | Friday November 26th @ 7:00pm

Gotta give it up for Raja in this one. After getting badly scorched by Kobe and missing a big shot, team down 5, Raja nuts up and makes big plays.
He stayed with it. His steal that led to his layup to get the lead back was so huge.

It's really indicative of the whole team. Doesn't matter how hard the opposition punches them, the jazz just punch back harder and keep playing.

It would have been easy to fold the tents once the lakers got up by 5, with Kobe going crazy like that. But the jazz kept their poise and made the plays when it counted.

I still want to see Raja play better. I think he should be averaging double figures, but I know he's giving his all. Hopefully his shot will come around soon.


I think it was very important that the jazz never double teamed until the very end. When Gasol was scoring in bunches, the jazz didn't double team and never let Fish or Artest have open looks. So they never got into any rhythm. So at the end, when Kobe had to be doubled, the other guys couldn't hit the shots.
 
Can somebody compile a highlight reel of Derons shots/passes down the stretch...? I know thats asking alot but im in a heated Debate with a person from another forum about cp3 v Deron. We argued all day about how was more "clutch" He pulled out some Stats from 82games.com and i thought they were total BS and i said id much rather have the Ball in Derons hands at the end of games. Tonights performance was so satisfying on many levels. bit if i was able to somehow get a youtube Video of Derons performance tonight that would be icing on the cake! Go Jazz!!!

Me too. That's why he's the best player in this league and probably of this decade. Those shots were just nasty. Even after all our comebacks this year, I didn't think we would do it against LA. But give our guys MAJOR props for not giving up.

The Lakers' offense broke down after Kobe's outburst. They're a better team when Kobe is driving and collapsing the defense so Gasol and Odom can clean up. The Lakers stopped moving, and D.Will kept attacking.

You can say the same thing about the Lakers advantage at SG. Kobe is so much better than Bell that it almosts negates the Jazz advantage at PG.

Jazz as constructed can give L.A. a 6/7 game series, but in order to beat them they need more wing scoring and a better starting 2.

I agree with you. It's been this way for many years.

The best point guard in basketball and I really don't it's as close as alot say it is.

Yeah, it's too bad we can't get another player on the team of that caliber. Kobe + Gasol is really tough. The Lakers are pretty weak at the PG though. Blake isn't the answer. He was a bench player with the Blazers.

Yeah we are. Blake isn't good as a starter, be he's solid as backup (Sucked tonight though). Still we are pretty weak at the PG, you gotta be weak somewhere and that's our weak link if you will.
