PrintUtah Jazz at Los Angeles Lakers, May 4, 2010 8:30 PM MDT
Can't add much to what clark posted. I'll expand a little on the Gasol part and say that he's key to beating the Lakers. Great analysis, right? I hope the Jazz mix up their defense on him with doubles and help. I would also like to see a body on him when shots go up. I get tired of his offensive boards and tips.
Easier said than done but if we can slow him down significantly, the Jazz have another shot to win.
Of course it's going to take four quarters of good ball to get that done. I imagine they'll get off to a better start tonight but one poor quarter will probably cost them.
Finally, Deron had a good game on Sunday and is still banged up quite a bit. As good as he was in game 1 we still need him to take it up a notch.
Just win baby!
- No AK tonight

Hey all!
So, moni, I know late tipoffs suck, but they don’t suck as much as midday games…

i actually prefer middle of the night games
because they only take place on sundays and i have mondays off
games like today, however, i either have to rush to work at halftime or be late after the game
I totally missed game 1
was on the beach having bbq @ 5am, got home and game was over.
Always forget about those midday ones.

it makes sense if your ignore the fact that millsap gets hosed on a regular basis
Amazing he has gotten the calls that he has.
But he is working and working very hard!

Millsap should've had that and-1 a minute ago, though.
The last three Jazz possessions should’ve ended in Laker fouls.

I can't watch Boozer's defense anymore
Worst post defender in the NBA, hands down (literally). He is pathologically incapable of challenging a shooter or standing tall. My mind wasn’t made up on Boozer yet. It is now. No excuse for that defensive effort. Goodbye Carlos. Best of luck next year. I hope it’s not in Utah.

he actually did make more of an effort this season
but in this series has reverted to last season and before.

So when Deron starts off the off-season by questioning his teammates hearts, etc.
I hope he at least realizes what a bitch he’s been this series.
Best PG in the NBA? Not even on his own team right now.

I will dismiss this silly comment
One game sample. This is the first poor game he’s had in the playoffs. He’s been dominant. Looked tired and intimidated tonight though.

He said "right now" He didn't mean throughout the playoffs

"this series."
The Jazz played much better with Price out there in game 1 than Deron (-12) Williams.
Math is money and money is math
Price has been effective against the Lakers.
But it doesn’t validate your comment. Kobe’s had plenty of 4-16 games, doesn’t make him worse than Shannon Brown.

You're harping on one line ("best PG in the NBA?") and missing the greater point.
Alright- Deron Williams is unequivocally the better player, he just needs to play as well as Ronnie Price.
Math is money and money is math
You have succesfully amended your comment
So that I now agree with it.

It took me a minute to realize exactly what I said that led to the impasse,
but I’m glad we’re through it. ^^`
Math is money and money is math
No worries.
The only teammate that needs calling out is Boozer. Deron had one bad game, and even if the Lakers are a bad matchup for him, he’s definitely gonna put effort into it. Boozer, on the other hand, his defense is inexcusable. Unacceptable. Send him back to defense pre-school.
I do believe the rest of the team is busting their ass. Like lions attacking elephants.

Ronnie Price has been a beast.
Ronnie Price
Wesley Matthews
CJ Miles
Paul Millsap
Kosta Koufos/FESS (interchangeable)
would be my game 3 lineup

I don't think Price is the better player, that's crazy...
I think that Price has been more effective these two games, though, and that’s not just from playing the second unit of the Lakers. Deron’s had a hard go at them, too.
Williams just wasn’t making good decisions out there. Maybe he’s too worried about turnovers (which were in check this game), maybe it’s the Laker’s length, whatever. It just seemed like every time he brought the ball down in the fourth there was no real effort to set up the Jazz’s offense, it just devolved into 1-on-1’s. The Jazz aren’t good enough for that, and the Lakers mix of long-armed defenders basically makes it 1-on-2 or 3. With Price, even the possessions that weren’t baskets were open misses (2 for Korver, one Price). When we had the time to chip away at the lead, Price did a much better job at staying in control. That last charge on Deron basically felt like a microcosm of his game tonight.
It doesn’t hurt that Price is good at recovering on defense, too. He and Millsap are the only guys that the Lakers even consider looking for when they put up a shot in transition.

Just said the Lakers lead the series 2-0 and will play the winner of the Suns/Spurs. Nice.

I've never...
Had less fun watching a Jazz game than tonight. Any Boozer or Millsap rebounds happened by pure coincidence, the officiating was HORRIBLE, and Deron Williams played about as forgettable a game as is humanly possible. Awful. I usually enjoy myself a little bit even during a loss, and feel like I’ve learned something about the team, but tonight I should’ve watched “Lost” live. FUCK. This incarnation of the Jazz simply can’t beat this incarnation of the Lakers in a seven game series. I was a little hopeful after seeing some changes in game 1…but now there’s just no way I trust this team playing against LA.
I've seen worse
did you see the 96-54 game against Chicago in the ’98 finals?
However, if this were a meal, I would send it back to the kitchen, and keep the Millsap.
by Bouncy Phillips on May 4, 2010 11:52 PM MDT up reply actions
Eh, I'd argue that that's different.
There was never really a question about the outcome in that one. Obviously the Jazz played just horrible and it was heartbreaking to see it happen in the finals, but when things get that out of hand that quickly, the attitude with which you view the action really changes. I’ve had a variety of reactions to blowout games like that in my sports-viewing life: I’ve hatefully laughed at the wild incompetence on display, created my own bizarro-goals for the team to reach in lieu of a victory (a possible example, had this game been 96-54: just HOW high can Jeffers’ warmup pants go??), or even turned the game off entirely. I hate it, but there’s usually a lot more time for what’s about to happen—a terrible, terrible loss—to sink in, and it doesn’t hurt quite as bad when the final seconds tick off.
But this game just kept luring me back in and breaking my heart over and OVER again. Every weakness of the Jazz was exposed and beaten to death, and they looked like they couldn’t care less. Even during minor comebacks and offensive spurts I was frustrated by what I was seeing. URRGH.

Well said.
You convinced me. This game made my ass blossom.
Sounds like you are in touch with your pain.

It's like you forgot about last December, already!
This Jazz team has been buried prematurely too often. At the very least they bust their butts every night.
The quick turnaround (36 hours) hurt the Jazz. It cuts both ways, but it’s obvious they need more time to prepare for the Lakers than vice-versa. Still, as much as went wrong tonight, Utah was in it in the fourth quarter again, they just need to figure out how they’re going to get some stops down the stretch. This Jazz team is not going to roll over and die, their effort so far has been equal to or better than the Lakers. It’s not just about effort, though, sometimes it’s decision-making and discipline.
AK won’t have to save us all; he’ll play limited minutes but change the game just by being available. He’s not a stat guy, he’s a player that influences a game subtlely and, let’s not forget, he’s owned Gasol in the Euroleague. If he draws Artest he can treat him like the Lakers did Ronnie Brewer, something Sloan was obviously already aware of this game. If Jackson’s forced to bench Artest, that’s a psychological edge for the Jazz.
Remember too that all the Lakers have accomplished is holding home court advantage, just like they did with OKC before that became a series. There’s an extra day off this time before the game in Salt Lake and I fully expect the Jazz to come out for game 3 furious and precise. The Jazz will win game 3 in style.
Math is money and money is math
No, sure. I agree with you in a lot of ways.
The Jazz have certainly shown a lot of effort (no “Nuggets players in game 4” looks on anyone), but it seems to me to be the completely misdirected kind. It’s silly to continue trotting out the same stuff that hasn’t work in a seven game series for three consecutive years and expect the results to be any different, and you ESPECIALLY can’t expect this if your star players are going to simultaneously have off nights. Even if you’re trying really hard at something, if you’re fundamentally not equipped to perform that thing (in this case beating the LA Lakers) well, then the admirable effort you may or may not have put forth seems almost beside the point. Some (ANY) adjustment needs to be made, whether from a coaching standpoint in the present or an offseason move in the near future, or the same thing is going to continue happening. I don’t want this to be true, but…it really does seem to be the case.
The offense looked very stiff and motionless tonight, and I’m not sure if the disparities down low have ever been more noticeable. Even if the Jazz had gotten every whistle tonight, there’s no way they win going 18 in rebounds (the offensive rebounds were embarrassing), and getting blocked 13 times. If Fesenko and Koufos weren’t such liabilities offensively, perhaps this would’ve been a bit different, but this was just not their night, +/‘s be damned. When Gasol sets up in the key with his back to the basket and any number of Lakers start cutting, the Jazz CAN’T defend it straight up, especially with Boozer defending. They can only hope for some quick hands and a possible steal.
*
I also believe the Jazz will win in game 3—I’m just not sure if it’s really going to make any difference in the eventual outcome of the series. I’m definitely being pessimistic, but the way I interpreted tonight’s game (which perhaps you don’t agree with) has broken any title-run illusions I was harboring after the Denver series. I really hope I’m wrong, though! :-)

Hmm...
Not sure why that text is strikethrough’d. Perhaps out of hatred for those numbers.

Tough whistle tonight.
And too many layups and offensive rebounds. Of the Lakers 39 missed shots, they rebounded 18 of them, and the Jazz only 21. Almost half of the Lakers misses turned into new possessions! Considering these things, it was an incredible effort by the team to make a game of this. Millsap is just a beast. Good effort, except for Boozer. Fesenko is also playing his way out of darling status very fast.

Let's get a coue back in Utah.
I just wish for the world that any of the jaz bigs were remotely tough. Sometimes I swear boozer whispers to Kobe as Kobe’s driving past him for an uncontested layup, “there you are mr. Bryant, hey do you think you guys could sign me this summer? Oh and thanks for helping me get a gold medal this summer. You’re awesome. I used to play with lebron an you’re way better.”
