lakers r bein stomped on boards...utah already has 11 assists..lakers have 2.. and lakers not shootin well
Odom is lost on defense. Kobe is getting worried and trying to pull these guys from the fire, but what really needs to be stressed right now is strong passes and crashing the boards. Strong passes for mid-range jumpers...or penetrations that lead to jumpers or slashers attacking the hoop. Bring Kirilenko out to the perimeter and burn him, like Kobe did. Pull Boozer out there (Odom) and use your advantage (speed) to get to the hoop. I don't understand why the Lakers can't do that. It'll collapse the defense and make baskets MUCH easier.
NO! commercial on kcal now, but hopefully Kobe's 3 point shooting picks up and he hits a couple more, that will get them back into it and if they come back to the point where they can win, the rest of the team will get fired up to win! GO LAKERS, COMMON BABY I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
This is why Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko were given such big contracts. So far I have been really impressed by the Jazz, they've had great defense and are scoring reasonably themselves. They can play just as well with injuries, they did it last season and are doing it again now with a 3rd string PG as a starter in Keith McLeod.

Yeah, I won't go off and say that we are a bad team until we play at least 40 games and win less than half. Otherwise, we are doing fine. When 82 games are played, and if my predictions are wrong about us winning the Pacific or getting into the playoffs, I'll admit that I was wrong...but I'll never lose faith in my team.
lakers have 4 assists compared to utahs 19.. lakers possibly tired frmo yesterday?= kobe buzz beater 3 at buzzer is sweet..im goin to bed..hopefuly kobe can carry on :mrgreen:
This game concerned me because its a back to back game for the Lakers. It's Utah's first game, so they're fresh. I'm not taking anything away from Utah though. They have a very solid team this year.
Man, we got slaughtered ... how quickly things turn in a day... It's time to regroup and end our one game losing steak against *looks at schedule* ..... the spurs ... damn As for the Jazz, Harpring looked great today. His shot looked even better than it was when he got hurt last year ...
