Lakers @ Jazz
Friday, May 16th, 2008
Lakers 108 - Jazz 105
Playoffs - Round 2 Game 6, Home Game 3

what a game.. from the opening tip, the Lakers wanted the game more.. the Jazz couldn't get stops when they needed to and couldn't hit their shots when it counted.. LA looked like the more experienced team and they're going to be tough for anyone to stop..

i'm not going to complain about the officiating.. the Lakers were too good tonight and the refs didn't blow too many calls (though there were a few, like Boozer not getting a call on a flop when Odom got the call on an exact same looking flop).. officiating goes both ways all season.. yeah, sometimes we get screwed, but sometimes other teams get screwed too.. throughout the season things sort of even themselves out, but in the Playoffs it just hurts.. tonight though, the Lakers were just too strong of a team..

we'll see what happens next season.. i'll be back with my season tix, so hope to bring some more pics up for the page..

until then, enjoy the Jazzcrap and the offseason! so long fans!

Jazz 123 - Lakers 115
Playoffs - Round 2 Game 4, Home Game 2

it feels SO SO good to bring this series back to LA tied 2-2.. so many Laker fans guaranteed me (and even wanted to bet money) that the Lakers would win and it would be Lakers 3-1.. this one is dedicated to Lakersground.net member 'insidepresence'.. should have bet you money..

i was worried about the turnout for this game, being on a Sunday and in Utah and all.. i was very worried during the national anthem because the arena was only about 75% full, but the fans did not let me down and made it out in time to cheer on the team.. nice job fans..

i'll end this recap here.. we'll see you back in Utah for Game 6.. if the Jazz win in LA on Wednesday, look out Lakers!

Jazz 104 - Lakers 99
Playoffs - Round 2 Game 3, Home Game 1

wow! i LOVE playing the Lakers.. they're just a fun team to watch.. i miss having Derek Fisher.. it's hard to think that he should still be on our team, but i'm not mad at him for leaving and signing with LA... he did what he had to do for his family.. yeah, it sucks he said he was going to take time off then ended up signing with LA, but i wish him the best.. he provided us with some great memories in last years playoffs that i for one will never forget.. that game 2 against the Warriors still has to be one of my favorite Jazz moments..

things in the game were tight in the 1st quarter, tied at 23 after it was over.. the Jazz played well in the 2nd, despite some horrible calls by Dick Bavetta and company, but we were able to overcome them and made shots when we needed to in order to win the game.. way to go Jazz.. keep up that energy for Sunday afternoon's game.. i've never been to a Sunday home game, and I'm looking forward to it and hopefully being 1-0 when i attend Sunday games..

see you Sunday! it's going to be an exciting game! i just hope the rest of the crowd shows up.. there hasn't been a Sunday game in SLC in 7 years! GO JAZZ!

Jazz 113 - Rockets 91
Playoffs - Round 1 Game 6, Home Game 3

so long T-Mac.. it's been great playing you two seasons in a row, and getting past you both seasons.. you had a better chance last year i guess, but regardless, have a great offseason! everything is all you're fault.. and next time you need to pronounce Deron Williams, you'll surely know it by then, i mean, he has knocked you out two years in a row now!

so long Rockets fans.. hopefully we meet again in the first round next year - Jazz in 5! bring on Kobe now..

Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!

Jazz 86 - Rockets 82
Playoffs - Round 1 Game 4, Home Game 2

a much better end to tonight's game than the last one.. tonight the Jazz made their free throws, played decent defense, and kept the Rockets and T-Mac in check to win the game.. the Rockets fought back at the end, much like we did in the last game, but the Jazz stuck through it and thanks to Memo saving D-will's ass, we won the game..

don't have much else to say.. oh yeah, to comment on T-Mac's post game comments about the pronunciation of how to say Deron Williams.. you must know how to say his name, i mean, he knocked you're ass out of the playoffs last year and he's fixing to knock you out again.. you'll get to know Deron Williams pretty well throughout his career, i think.. as someone on the radio said, grow up you "sleepy eyed crybaby." hope you have a nice offseason at home

will be back either next round or on Friday for a Game 6, should Houston win at home on Tuesday..
