    "It was tough to read Carlos Boozer immediately after Game 2 on Tuesday night, like it often is. It was not tough to read Deron Williams, like it never is.

    Each answered questions about another loss in their second-round playoff series with the Lakers, revisiting the good and the bad of what they had just experienced on the court here, the negative ultimately wiping out the positive by way of the numbers on the board.

    What are they supposed to say? What are they supposed to think? How are they supposed to feel?

    The XXLs can beat the XXXXLs?

    Size doesn't matter?

    The Jazz's front line really can hang with the Lakers' big men?

    Lies, all around.

    The Jazz might have a legitimate shot in this series -- if a 30-year-old Mark Eaton were dressed out. Even Magic and Kareem hated playing against Big Mark. Or, more far-fetched, and embarrassing, did you ever think you might miss Greg Ostertag?

    That's what it's come to.

    Boozer, though, spoke in an almost-upbeat manner, saying the Jazz were just going to be more aggressive in future games, pushing the long Lakers away from the basket, beating them up a little in the effort, and looking forward to playing on their home court."
