Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz, Dec 12, 2009 7:00 PM MST
Not too much more to say since we just played them a couple of days ago. Here's my preview from that.
The updates are mostly injuries. Kobe Bryan injured a finger on his shooting hand against Minnesota but returned to the game to play. He's expected to play tonight.
We could see Price AND Korver AND AK return tonight. How crazy would that be? Price has already said he's suiting up while Korver and AK seem to be game-time decisions. In order of likelihood of suiting up it look like we would start with Price, then Korver, then AK. Siler has all the updates.
The past couple of years including the playoffs the Jazz have almost always had three good quarters against the Lakers but have been atrocious in one quarter that does them in. It's been the first quarter in a lot of cases and of course Wednesday's historically bad collapse.
Maybe I should have renamed this blog CanOnlyPlay36minutes.com. It goes without saying that the Jazz will have to play 48 minutes to get the job done tonight.
Remember when Kobe sucked in the playoffs? Those were the days. I'll relish those airballs forever.

BBJ thanks for posting the jinx rules
Good reminder.
By the way, the Knicks are streaking right now. Wouldn’t be suprised to see them make the playoffs. Oh well, there go our hopes for a high lottery pick.
by Juan B on Dec 12, 2009 5:17 PM MST via mobile reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
That’s why I hesitate to say anything about the Knicks pick. Jinxing.
by Basketball John on Dec 12, 2009 6:16 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Right, I'm officially confused...
We can only make statements of fact, right? Can’t say anything that will ‘put the mockers on’ as we say down here?

Right
So you can comment on scores, etc. but not with any inclination of whether it’s a good or bad thing.

Like this?
Twitter tells me that Kobe said himself he has a broken finger.

Did he voluntarily retire or was he forced out? Anyone know?

They said he stepped down
I understand he just wanted to do home games so that he didn’t have to travel. The Jazz wanted all or nothing.

Why isn't he taking himself out of the game then?
He obviously didn’t have it tonight because he was sick. He should have sat it out. He was 7-24. Those are shots that could have gone to someone else.

That's the coach's decision, isn't it?

Unless you're Rashard Lewis, apparently.

That was strange wasn't it?
Really weird, that Rashard

You don’t think if Kobe had said to said to Phil that he couldn’t go that he would have made him play?
by Basketball John on Dec 12, 2009 9:33 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Oh no
I think Kobe will say he can go if he has a broken leg, but it’s up to the coach to decide if he’s hurting the team or not.

That's what I'm saying
Kobe should have taken himself out.
by Basketball John on Dec 12, 2009 9:35 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
No, any player worth their salt will say they can play
It’s the coaches decision (or medical team) to say whether or not they will get playing time

Didn't you see The Big Green?
The best player on the soccer team was hurt, so he deferred the penalty kick to the smallest guy on the team, who then kicked the game winner.
It can build teammates confidence to defer game winning jobs.

Not when they're hurting the team
Which I thought Kobe was doing tonight on both ends. I would like to know if Phil tried to take him out.

OK, Kobe is bad
For playing hurt.

You are missing the point. He cost his team a win. That is all.
You can call it heroics, or gamesmanship, or whatever, but the same thing that makes Kobe very good, also makes him very bad at times. He thinks he can win it all by himself, even when he can’t.
Which is why I can’t wait for his last 3-4 years in the league when he just doesn’t have it physically, but he thinks he does and he shoots about 27% for the season from the field.
I hope the Laker fans still chant MVP everytime he shoots a free throw that season.

I can't wait either
Also, the Lakers won a championship despite Kobe’s stupid selfish arrogant hero complex.
Because, as you can see, they play so well when he is ineffective, because Gasol and Bynum are the real keys to the team.

And another point to make
Is that Kobe was at +6 when he was in the game for plus/minus stats.
I don’t put a lot of stock in +/-, but it’s something to note, perhaps even an argument against the significance of +/- stats, because Kobe had the highest +/- out of any Laker (tied with Sasha Vujacic!)

Agree with that!
I thought it irresponsible to have him out there.
Trying to play bigger than superstar all the while throwing junk shots, falling down, changing IV bags and diapers.
There are other players that could have learned something tonight. But the super stupid selfish stud made sure that did not happen. And Phil Jackson played the enabler to the detriment of his team!
That will cost them a lot more later in the season.

Gotta have a villain.
OK, I’m up, made my point here, good game, Jazz are very well coached, DWill was a stud as usual, and I hope AK47 gets well, I need his stats on my fantasy team. Peace be with you.

Bucks up 5 over Portland with 28 seconds and the ball.
Just stating a fact.

best week ever
like that show on VH1 and you know what it feels so awesome any time we beat LA!!! I am so proud of them but we still have a long way to go to matching up with LA in the playoffs, yet again but so does every team I guess so that is a little bit consoling…but we cant maintain Boozer at center going against Gasol and Bynum for at least four games in the playoffs, nope and nope…
oh and for the thirty second time: Fes needs to play, whats the hold up!?
