If the Jazz can miraculously go on a 3-game win-streak, they MIGHT win.

PROTECT HOME COURT!!!

I've never seen The BJ Jazzy Rastas in a funk like this. It's time we start giving some positive vibes to the universe. C'mon Jazz fans, its gonna be a different story on home court, and once we get that momentum...

Visualize and attack!

If we can play better defense and the refs don't give the game away once again then I think we will be able to go back to L.A. tied at 2-2.

Let's trade for Kobe.
That was the buzz last summer on local radio.
Sure he will give up Sunset Blvd for Beck Street.
Meanwhile J'z better shoot the ball.

In their last regular season meeting in Utah, the Lakers beat the Jazz by double figures while Gasol was out with a sprained ankle. So Utah's best home record this season doesn't mean much to LA.

I know that the Jazz can come back and win this series. I will be there Sunday for game 4 when the Jazz tie the series!


GO JAZZ!

Why is everyone putting the Jazz down? Remember how Denver poorly played against Lakers in Round 1? Not the same as playing with the Jazz, is it fLakers?

If not for the super-star, untouchable treatment Kobe and the Lakers are getting; take out all those free throw freebies, Lakers would have lost both their home games. Give me a break Lakers fans who blindly idolizes their players like they idolize their stars...you're in LA-LA land.

And take note how Phil Jackson uses media to get sympathy saying they're not getting calls (during Game 1). He is such a baby with a beard, (yuck worse)! Honestly, it's frustrating to see that nobody can even put a hand on Kobe without getting a foul. And you call it basketball? Why don't we just cut through the chase and declare them the NBA champion now...that's seems like the plan they're executing from where I'm sitting.

One word of advice to fLakers. If you are really that good, then really play like you are, and with honor too. Don't use media, star power or any of that. If not, then just join a bunch of your star friends in Hollywood.

Yes, LA beat them once at home, but their home record was no fluke. Utah plays very well at home and I can easily see this series being tied after Sunday.

Your right about the last game at Utah, but what about the first game when utah beat the lakers by 30 the Jazz have the best home record for a reason and the fans are going to be all over Jackson and Fisher and Kobe.
David Stern | 5:05 p.m. May 8, 2008
When asked who he would like to see in the finals David Stern replied, "Laker vs. Lakers." Who do you think is going to win a championship this year? I wonder. The jazz have a better team hands down. When officials get their orders they execute. i.e. the offical awaiting trial. NBA, not basketball anymore. Thanks Stern.

Do you know how long ago David Stern made that comment about wanting it to be Lakers vs Lakers? It was when Shaquille was still sporting a Lakers jersey. It's obvious that a lot of basketball fans want to see Boston/Lakers in the Finals. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen. I am so sick of Jazz fans crying about the refs. The Utah Jazz foul more than anybody else in the NBA, not to mention that Sloan has his players fouling when the game is well out of reach. Why do the Spurs have 4 championships in the last 9 years if the NBA is rigged? Your team is down 0-2 because the Lakers are a better team.

Have you no shame, the crying is out of control. do you act this way at home, at work. Do you teach your kids to whine when their teacher gives them a bad grade. Do you cry when you get a ticket and say the cop had it out for you. Do you cry foul when your wife asks you to do something around the house. Talk about a bunch of babies, there is no one in the country that thinks the Jazz is better than the Lakers, your excuses are pathetic. It's one thing to get beat it's another thing to cry like a wuss about it.

I agree with you, but save your breath your talking to the most dellusional fan base in all of sport.
