Utah Jazz players not happy about lost chances

What a low blow to Pauly Shore... Encino Man and Bio Dome weren't THAT bad....actually.....wait......

The Jazz should have won this game!! The 4th quarter was so frustrating to watch, especially Boozer missing easy shots under the basket. But no one has talked about the fact there were 8 Lakers on the court in the 4th quarter. The 3 striped jerseys missed 2 offensive fouls on the Lakers that led to points as well as the 3 or 4 phantom calls against the Jazz that led to LA 3 point plays. All the time that the Jazz were mugged at the other end with no calls. I don't usually complain about officiating that was pretty good through 3 quarters, but the Lakers would have lost this game if the refs hadn't have pulled it out for them.

Speaking of Game 6 he said "We win that game,and there's one more game after that."

I'm glad he cleared that up....hahahaha.

But in all fairness, he has to say things like that so the Spazz fans will understand him because they're not that smart.

Lakers controlled game 5 and won that is the bottom line Jazzies. Stop crying like school girls about officiating. You are so old and tired - go back and live in the 90s.

The officials definately effected the outcome of game 5. How could they ignore Gasol doing a 2 handed push-off on his defender to get those 2 offensive rebounds, and how could Doug Collins not cry foul on TV! That was outrageous. Both rebounds led to points rather than Okur shooting foul shots and gave the game to the Lakers right there. This doesn't even consider the other phantom fouls that were called in the fourth quarter. The irony of this is that this was a well called game until the fourth quarter. But suddenly all the calls swung to the Lakers. I don't mean to be a cynic, but, it looks like this series has been fixed! There should be an investigation of what's going on here!!!

I remember the days, people were in a huge stress to join or not to the playoffs in here. Now, we are in huge stress again but this time to play or not the western final games and then the NBA final. What a fantastic improvement we've got. I want to thank to the Jazz to make us a part of this carnival. But we want more and more. THE FINAL is our target now.
GO MEMO , GO JAZZZZZZ

Which Jazz players become free agents after this season?

Hopefully the officating will be better tonite. If it is the Jazz will win. DWill will play great hopefully Boozer will have a good game.

I'm just glad to see the jazz highlights on the way to commercials tonight... I hate watching tnt, they LOVE Koby. Ya he's a good player, MVP but dang. game 5 when he missed a shot, they would aske, "is that the back???" give me a break. I had to watch half the fourth quarter with my tv on mute.

The Jazz need to do a better job of boxing out Gasol and Odom if they want to win. Those guys are getting way to many easy rebounds and then easy shots/dunks in transition. The Lakers don't need Kobe to be making all his tough shots if they're getting easy uncontested dunks from their big men.

Go Jazz! Take game 6!!!

Boooooooo-zer plays like a man. He leaves his matador defensive cape at home. He learns how to play. Or, he admits he is too hurt to contribute to the Jazz and not the Lakers. Unfortunately, Collins would play better. At least he isn't afraid to take a charge and knows how to flop. And yes, he will go after loose balls.

Brewer plays more minutes, especially when he is kicking butt. Pretty boy Korver stays on the bench while CJ substitutes.

DWill continues his warrior play as well as Price.

It's not a hard concept. Although it seems to be for the Jazz.

Sloan is the one who needs to watch the game film, the part where Korver was in the game trying to defend. Tonight at the game I will be chanting," Put in C.J. ,Put in C.J.",Please join in and help me try to send a message to coach Sloan. "Too much Korver,too much Korver."

No, he has to say that for the reporters waiting for him to say SOMETHING. Boozer is not the dummy here. Its reporters looking for a story, and not getting one.

Go Jazz!

Hey you dont need to diss on boozer or the jazz, who do you think you are??

...the Jazz blew it in the regular season when they didn't show up to play against Charlotte, Minnesota, New York, LA Clippers, and Miami. Jazz had a great chance this year to get a #1 seed and Home Court throughout the Western Conference playoffs. Only now do we see how important those games actually were. Anyways...I'm still a homer, so I predict Jazz win the next two! GO JAZZ!!

Ummmm, we aren't happy about this either!!
Boozer: go strong, have fun and quit looking for the calls to go your way.
AK: no 3 point shots in the 4rth Quarter
Harpring: Make your baseline jumper
Milshap: more playing time, turn into the offensive force you can be
Korver: shoot a better percentage

Instead of watching the game tonight, I am heading off to LHM's other entertainment venue: miller motorsports park. There will be real world class professional entertainment (ALMS, go C6R!) untainted by a biased commissioner and officiating crew. The jazz are done in 7 if not 6.

This team will NEVER win a championship with Jerry. 20 years and nothing. What is one more? He refuses to sit his stars who don't show up and play those who are always ready to show up. While boozer gives us 5 turnovers on his own CJ and the D league MVP polish the pine . . .

May be Larry need to call the Booz out in the press again? Let him know he seem disintrested and playing without heart.

Fouls?*!%& What a crock! It's the same all over the league. But actually, no one is suggesting that all the contact, traveling, and foul mouth conduct needs to or should be whistled by the officials. The rule is "unless I (Dick Baveta, et. al)call it a foul, it isn't a foul". Unless the ordinary fan understands this philosophy, then you will continue to be befuddled about the NBA game. The home team, or the higher seed/home teams ALWAYS have the benefit of the doubt. The other basic verity is "officials always are correct, and the other beholders are in error". Understanding these universal truths will help observers of the games. The third truth is the league wants the major NBA markets to be in the FINALS, ie.....Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston. If it doesn't turn out that way, then the ratings will not be high enough....as in who wants to watch the Jazz or the Hornets versus Cleveland? Come on. Never the less, let all of us Jazz faithful keep our heads up, and hope we hold court and force a seventh game, which could be a Jazz win, if the Commissioner doesn't make the call to the officials.

i guess the brass at memphis are like the kid in the movies dumb and dumber with jum carry do you remember when they sold a dead parakeet fo a blind kid for money reminds me of the memphis dummies for gasol and the dead bird is the two worthless draft picks the lakers gave memphis the lakers really got away with this steal. and the fisher farce both will sink us from nother win.
