JAZZ POSE NO THREAT TO LAKERS posted by maniLA ice on 05/11/2008
Even if the Utah Jazz manage to tie up this seven-game series, I still feel very confident about the Lakers chances of advancing to the Western Conference finals. And here are five reasons why:1) The Jazz still looks like a one-trick pony. Utah is a great home team but have yet to put a dent on the Lakers home-cou... [more]
Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers - game 3 posted by Pawel Twardecki on 05/10/2008
Home sweet home. The Jazz finally provided the Lakers with their first loss of the playoffs. It took the home crowd, an excellent performance from the big three (Williams, Boozer and Okur) and a quiet night from Bryant (quiet by his standards). After all of that, the game was still very close; therefore, the... [more]
Shaq...I apologize Kobe posted by Stephanie Stafford on 05/09/2008
I guess everyone is finally seeing Shaq for what he is…a Manipulator. He is playing for his fourth team and out of those four teams, he has left three on bad terms. If he would have left just one team on bad terms we could probably say, HEY THAT SUCKS FOR HIM. HE DESERVES TO GET OUT. ANFERNEE “PENNY” HARDAWAY ... [more]
7 reasons (because I got too tired to write 10) why you should feel sorry for Shaquille O'Neal posted by Brian George on 05/09/2008
Ah, the Big Fella. So much fun. Such a force back in the day. When he was coming up, his raw power made guys want to be more like Shaq than Mike. But there's a downside, a big downside, to being Shaq, all seven feet, three hundred plus of him. The biggest factor being that he's all... [more]
Laker Flags - If you weren't flying 'em in December, don't fly 'em now posted by Brian George on 05/08/2008
One group of people that I have no respect for is: frontrunners. Can't stand 'em. I've lived in Southern California my entire life, minus half of my second grade year spent in rainy Salem, Oregon, when my dad took a job with Bell Potato Chips, and have been a dedicated fan of the Big 3 LA teams: ...

Some Random Lakers Thoughts posted by Jordan Ikeda on 05/08/2008
The Lakers put another impressive, yet still somehow shaky victory over the Utah Jazz into the books and now sit on a cool 6-0 record in the 2007-08 playoffs. Not much to write about in their victory, because, well, they’re cruising but with rabid intensity. -Remember back in 2004, during that tumultuo... [more]
The Lakers Rebound in Game 2 posted by Stephanie Stafford on 05/08/2008
The Lakers are a finesse team. The Lakers don’t like to mix it up. This is what was being said before the series and after game 1. Yes, the Lakers were out rebounded significantly... [more]
Accepting the MVP posted by Jordan Ikeda on 05/07/2008
Got a chance to attend the Most Valuable Player trophy presentation of a one Mr. Kobe Bryant yesterday. A whole host of media were there and after Stu Lanz introduced everyone, Phil spoke, followed by Alex Fedorak the KIA Motors public relations director (who presented the trophy to Kobe) and then Mr. Bryant himself. After Ko... [more]
M.V.P. STANDS FOR K.O.B.E. posted by maniLA ice on 05/07/2008

Finally... posted by Stephanie Stafford on 05/05/2008
Finally, these so called experts are recognizing the Lakers defense. The defense that exposed and discombobulated the Nuggets offense. The defense that was a huge contributing factor in allowing the Laker... [more]
What a Difference a Decade Makes posted by Jordan Ikeda on 05/05/2008
It was a pretty masterful performance, despite the 4 horribly missed shots in the fourth quarter, but MVP-to-be Kobe Bryant made the Utah Jazz pay for their roughshod defense. He missed those four shots by a wide margin, almost as if reliving that fateful game 11 years ago against the same team at the Lakers then hom... [more]
Doing The Right Thing posted by Bryan Berg on 05/04/2008
Full Disclosure... - I hate the Rangers. - I was rooting for the Rangers today.No, I'm not one of those weak-willed saps who "likes all New York teams" or rides bandwagons. That's not me. However, I love hockey and I'm more than willing to do w... [more]
2nd Round starts tomorrow... posted by Ken Ito on 05/03/2008
I was hoping that the Houston Rockets would win the 6th game and extend their series to seven games with them defeating the Jazz at long last. But it didn't happen, and now our Lakers face the Jazz, a team that's pretty physical. The Lakers had a six-day layoff, and hopefully they'll be ready. It's a good th... [more]
Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets game 6 posted by Pawel Twardecki on 05/03/2008
Utah Jazz used a thrid qurter run to easily beat the Rockets in the game six lat night. Deron Williams decided to hit four threes in the third to push the lead to twenty points in the quarter. McGrady tried hard and ended up with 40 points for the night. He even went on a personal 9:0 run vs. the Jazz at one... [more]
Suns Part 3: Trying to Trade Diaw posted by Jordan Ikeda on 05/03/2008
It's been three days now, and I still can’t get them out of my head. I was so angry when Marion got traded. And now, I feel so hopeless that all the fun and joy the Run-and-Gun Suns brought back to the league, has been destroyed with the happy-go-lucky crybaby D’Antoni probably going elsewhere and the burden that is ...

One year after one of the most memorable moments in Jazz history, Utah fans treated Derek Fisher like any other member of the Los Angeles Lakers. They booed him. Fisher started for the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals Friday night, exactly one year after his cross country flight and dramatic entrance in the third quarter of Utah's overtime win over Golden State.

The Utah Jazz are hoping home court really is an advantage. Right now, they'll take any edge they can get. The Los Angeles Lakers lead the Jazz 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals and are coming to Utah with thoughts of a second straight sweep in the playoffs. The Jazz had hoped to come out of Los Angeles with a split, but were back home Thursday trying to figure out new ways to slow down... [read full article]

Carlos Boozer and the Utah Jazz hope to spoil Kobe Bryant's MVP celebration. More important, the Jazz hope to even the Western Conference semifinals with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night before the series moves to Salt Lake City for Games 3 and 4. "If we can go out there and ruin their party a little bit by getting a victory, that helps us a lot," Boozer said. [read full article]
