Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz, May 16, 2008 8:30 PM MDT
Well, this is the first time I've had to say that the season could end tonight. I don't believe it will though. It's actually the first time it's crossed my mind.
But we should know the outcome of this game after the first quarter. It's not rocket surgery, but when the Jazz start out well, it carries through the rest of the game.
Here's one of the problems we have on offense and I believe affects Boozer. When Brewer is in the game, Kobe plays 10 feet off him. He's begging him to shoot the ball. This causes a few problems.
First, Ronnie isn't taking it to the basket. If he has that big of a head start, he should be flying to the rim. If you're not going to shoot, attack.
The biggest problem this causes though is that it allows Kobe to hang out around Boozer on D. So Booze can't get good position. Booze has got to be better at finding the open guy when he's doubled.
Second, Bryant doesn't have to play defense and he can rest his sore back. The only time Ronnie is scoring is when he's cutting along the baseline because Kobe can't keep up.
And Brewer has to play off Kobe a bit. Let him take those jumpers. He's not making them. Kobe didn't take a jumper in almost the last two quarters.
I think Ronnie still does a decent job on him. But I want to see CJ Miles come in to guard Kobe instead of Harp. CJ can shoot, drive, and will open things up for Booze. #15 should not see action tonight unless him and Collins are in mop-up time.
I'm not a basketball strategist by any means. But if Kobe is spooning Boozer when Brewer has the ball on the wing, shouldn't Carlos be screening Kobe and letting Brewer drive to the hoop? If Booze's man leaves him, Carlos just spins, boxing out Kobe, and leaving him open. If not, Brewer has a clear path to the hoop.
And we all know Gasol likes to pitch tents in the lane, but he's a wuss. Just give him one hard foul at the beginning of the game when he comes across. Something that puts him on the ground but doesn't get you tossed. Isn't that what we have Collins for? He might think twice about camping in Utah.
These teams are too close and the only advantage they have is homecourt. This series won't end until Monday night.

okay
I’m terrified and confident at the same time. Is that possible? Yes. Yes it is.
Also, delightful mixed metaphor in the second paragraph, BBJ.
I'll make it.

I hope people realize it was intentional.
At least that’s what I’m saying.

CJ over Harp
I totally agree with you, BBJ~ I just don’t see it happening.. Sloan is sooo slow to change things, and I just can’t see him replacing Harp with CJ at this point in the playoffs. Remember, it took a Hart injury to get Price off the bench even though anyone and their dog who follows the Jazz knew Price was much better than Hart as D-Will’s replacement. Even when Hart got healthy again, Sloan put him in his regular spot for a few games until it dawned on him that Hart actually sucks at basketball… J-Slo.. if you’re reading this.. PUT CJ IN FOR HARPRING!!! PLEASE!!
by neff on May 16, 2008 4:52 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Not to defend Harpring
because I think CJ’s a far better player with Tremendous Upside Potential… but young players really do crumble in the playoffs if they’re not mentally strong. And CJ Miles is not mentally strong. Whether that’s thanks to Sloan’s insistence on punishing CJ for missing last summer’s Revue, or due to his own inconsistent play and lack of confidence, the fact remains.
That’s what is so rare about young players like D-Will and Ronnie Brewer. It usually takes years to learn that kind of intensity, that kind of will power. Those two are blessed that it came naturally. CJ? Well, we’ll see.
I do think he needs more spot time, but he’s not a player you can rely on. Completely switching CJ for Harp won’t solve all the Jazz ills.
Then again, screw you, No Knees.
I'll make it.

CJ should definitely get more run. He provided a spark the other night.

From my side
This game is the jazz’s to lose. If were down by five or more in the first three minutes the lakers are screwed but if its the other way around or tied then its gonna be a sick game with the odds still to the jazz (laker fan opinion).

if boozer doesn’t figure out a way to play against double teams besides his beloved jumpers, the jazz will be screwed next season, because every single team will defend him in the exact same way the lakers have been, and render him completely ineffective. and the season after that. and the season after that…

Someone tell me what value Harp has.
He can’t guard anyone. He can’t create a shot.
by Basketball John on May 16, 2008 9:35 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well...
he’s white. And he’s a vet, which Sloan loves.
Oh, and he’s tough… meaning that he’ll leave his guy wide open when he tries to draw a charge (which he most often fails at).

Dear Carlos,
You are 6’8” and 250+ pounds. You do not need to put up a jump hook like a pussy. You are permitted to pound the ball through the basket and pound anyone’s face in the meantime. You have my permission. Please don’t make me beg. Thank you.

It'd be too simple?

I had no hopes coming in (at best, we’d force game 7 and the refs would take it from us then), but they still shot up.
And then the refs screwed us over, and the last shots didn’t fall.

the thing is, though
we really have a great team, and I don’t want to change a whole lot. A starting five of D-Will, Brewer, AK, a non-corpse of Boozer and Memo is still an elite group. With rotation bench players of Miles, Millsap, Price and Korver… it’s really not that bad.

And Harpring has to go, and Flop.
Almond & Fesenko need to play.
Other than that though, I really like the team.
(Not like I have a choice, they’ll be here for a while.)
Fesenko rounds out the bench 5, and Almond is an extra shooter off the bench. Just a 3rd PG (in the draft?) and we’re set.
The other guys can be cut or traded for future picks or whatever.

by Scrum on May 16, 2008 11:46 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know...
that would decrease if Brewer & Miles & Almond could get some more time on the defensive end. Benching them for every small mistake hurts more than it helps.
Oh, and it’d decrease if the 2-guard wasn’t allowed to run past a guy with no speed at all (Harp) or shoot over a 6’2 guy (Price at times this year) whenever he looks up.

Anger: that will be tomorrow, when I have to moderate the message board posts of a thousand Laker fans at work
Bargaining: the draft & Rocky Mountain Review, hoping for a player that will not change anything because Sloan will never play him
Depression: the rest of the summer
Acceptance: ... um, I don’t know.
I'll make it.

I just started channel surfing
and realized I had to skip past the sports cable channels. And I’ll have to do that for the next week, at least. I will now remove my eyes with a spoon.
I'll make it.

Unbelievable Pain.
So proud of my boys, but unbelievable pain. A championship-caliber team got screwed in the 4th quarter by god-awful officiating tonight.
I am more disillusioned with the NBA right now than I have ever been in the 12 years I have been watching. Even after the dubious outcome of the Miami-Dallas Finals in 2006, I still stuck with the NBA and believed that the best team would come out on top ultimately. I know this is coming after a painful loss, but I seriously don’t know if I can continue to watch the National Basketball Association anymore. It’s clearly not about basketball, it’s about superstars, popularity, and the fiscal bottom line.

Unbelievable
So was the one apparently where Kobe gave a left forearm shiver to Deron near the halfcourt line. But no, they had to call an offensive foul on Boozer when Gasol was both moving and in the restricted area. I know, I know…I’m preaching to the choir here.

Well, I'm going to wake up now
and watch the real game. More in the morning (and how the game really turned out).

Definitely a foul on Gasol. Now if only the refs weren't blind.
By the way, the restricted area was a horrible rule.
And half the time, the call is wrong anyways.

Nice screencap, Scrum
Confirms that we’re not blind with Jazz love after all. It’s 2:30am and I can’t go to sleep cause it hurts so much. I really think I invested too much emotionally in the Jazz this year – I feel like I lost a loved one. I’m not even kidding…not the slightest bit. It’s more than just a team playing a game.

Thanks guys
I hope you’ll come back in the coming days so we can grieve together more.
I’m going to leave now before I sound any more gay.
I'll make it.

Peace.
I’m out too.
My head hurts too much to keep this up.
