Mini-cap - Lakers @ Jazz - Game 3 - Round 2

This weekend is crazy and I don't have time for much of a recap.  Here's a few thoughts though.

  • Boozer's back.
  • Deron has got be be one of the toughest guys in the league.
  • When Memo's shot is on, it has a little less arc on it.
  • Laker's didn't get a big game from anyone not named Kobe.
  • The refs did their best to keep it as close as it was.  As soon as the Jazz would push it to 9+, out came the whistles.

Thanks to CB Jack at My Utah Jazz for pointing this out.  This video is Boozer and Deron getting interviewed.  First, watch Steve Brown behind them get snubbed by both.  I'm sure they had to get back to the locker room though.

But the best part is at the end when Deron is heading back.  A fan pinches Deron's towel as he's walking away and pulls it off of him.  Pretty Smooth.  Hover your mouse over the video to see the list of others.

Make sure to check out the game thread .  Great stuff going on in there.  Sign up and start chatting.  It's the best way to do a game if you're watching from home.

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,

    4-1_medium

Win and this is a series.  Lose and the players will start making vacation plans, again.
