    Lakers have looked great in the last two games, albeit against the Celtics and Warriors. This will be a better indicator of where the Lakers are actually at. Last nights lopsided game allowed the Lakers to rest their starters for long stretches, so there shouldn't be any excuses for the team being tired.

    The Jazz are always tough at home, but key players are injured or playing with nagging injuries, DWill, AK47, Okur, and Boozer just returned.

    Kobe Bryant has become more aggressive early on in games to get his teammates confidence up. The Jazz will have to ready for a heavy dose of Kobe early on in the game.

    Lakers in a close one is my prediction.

    No Deron, and Memo is really struggling offensively. But, the Jazz are still keeping it close.

    0-2 without Dwill.... and we were practically without Okur as well. And Kobe got a million foul shots. Jazz lose.

    Was it just me or did the refs seem like crap in this game. I don't understand how they gave Memo a T because Turiaf is the one that swiped at the ball and Memo just handed him the ball. Any how, no Deron Williams hurt....

    what the hell was up with some of the calls Kobe got in this game? Very inconsistent. 14-15 of those free throws were very suspect..

    Was D-Will out with the same old injury from all-star weekend or a new one?
