Preview - LA Lakers @ Utah Jazz - Game 3 - Round 2 - 2008 NBA playoffs
Los Angeles @ Utah
Time to start the comeback. And I'm not talking about a late-game, fourth quarter, double-digit overcoming type comeback. I'm talking a series-changing, momentum busting, show them what Jazz basketball is all about type of comeback.
It has to start from the opening tip. We saw it in game 6 of the Houston series where the Jazz went all out for the entire game.
- Deron will start believing that he is the One. He's got to realize about midway through the first whether or not the team has it. If they don't, expect him to take over early. He can take Fisher any time. You remember the guy that couldn't guard anyone last year? It's the same guy. He's not getting any better. Time for the student to kick his teacher's can.
- Everyone's down on Booze. And rightfully so. We all know what he's capable of though. You don't just lose that skill. If he can get a couple of quick layups early, watch out.
- Fisher and supporting cast can't shoot any better than they did in game 2.
- Like I said in the recap of game 2, Brewer actually played Kobe pretty good. Bryant just hit some incredible shots. Those aren't going to fall again. He should be in the twenties though.
- If we can get an influx of trolls, now you know why. My reply would be,
Win and this is a series. Lose and the players will start making vacation plans, again.

Boos
I didn’t really hear any extra boos for Fischer. Did any of you?

3-seconds
There was Pau’s first violation of the night.

Harpring ended the 1st quarter
very badly.

Yay
I know. I was yelling so loud. I just love that KK.
And I’m so glad you guys got on here. I need to talk to someone about this game.

No Knees on Kobe?
Brilliant strategy there, J-Slo.

And,

is shaky at best right now. In other words, a little more reliable than Harp.

Where did AK

Yep.
But sadly, I’m not a ref.

KK was wide open.
Why didn’t Booze push it out?

So, off-topic...
what do you guys make of the rumor that the Nuggs will listen to offers for Hit-N-Run?

They'd send him out east I would imagine.
Who would they want back? A PG and a 3?

Not sure.
For what it’s worth (and yes, it’s early) I’ve also read that they’re looking at Ty Lawson in the draft. If that works out, no need for a PG.
Question is… what would people give up for him? Especially with the recent news surrounding him?

I don't think I want them to trade him.
They’d become a much better team without him and having a true PG. But AI isn’t getting any younger either.

Agreed.
And the Blazers will be good.
And if the Sonics don’t blow their 4-million draft picks…
The Nuggs.
The Jazz.
The T-Wolves should be better.
Could be a very competitive division.

Well
Given his recent trouble with the law….
IDK though, the 1-2 punch of him and AI is pretty much the only thing the Nuggs have going for them. And, how many years does AI really have left?

my cousin snuck down to the court during halftime and took a pic sitting in Phil’s special chair.
And, Matt just came in. Bad news.
