They can play better than this.


However we can play MUCH, MUCH better than this.

Lakers will have to learn from their mistakes and man -up the next game. Pau gets his first real test of the playoffs - needs to bounce back sunday.

Game 4 adjustments:

-Get Pau involved early
-Find a way from preventing Boozer and Millsap from looking like hall of famers
-DO NOT give Farmar a single minute of play
-Throw DJ into the mix. They want to get physical, well we have a big body rotting on the pine.

I would like to see Ira in there too, I think he'd do great against some of their SFs, but that ain't happening.

1.3 % difference and it's evident Kobe was a much better 3 point shooter that season. Are you seriously trying to argue that?

Considering I never said anything of you sort, while YOU said that 05/06 Kobe WOULD have made it. You're flat out wrong.

Are you dense? You said 05 Kobe would never miss that 3. He's saying Kobe has shot a better % from the 3 this year.

His last three 3's went wide right hitting the backboard.


He is shooting 2% better than his career average. That's all you should know about Kobe and his 3s.

he also brought us back in the game single handedly. he is also the only one who truly showed up tonight. ims orry that he cant hit spot up threes 3 feet behind the arc EVERY time.

Oh well, it was a great game overall. Never thought the Lakers would get it that close in the 4th. Utah played great and deserved the W.

Now we need to concentrate on winning game 4. With a split in Utah, we'll have the series in hand.

I'll be sporting my P&G on Sunday jam2

I'm not saying you need to go commit mass murder's but you have to be upset or else you are really not a fan. It IS big deal man this is the playoffs against a very good team, no reason to say that they can't win the next game or the game after that. If you wanna get cocky go ahead but it's not smart to assume that we are going to win the series.

Huh? Their team has a chance to tie the series, why would the arena be empty?


Religious reasons. It's their first Sunday home game since 2001. Larry Miller won't be there and I'm sure a few other fans won't.

I'm exaggerating a bit.

Kind of like when the Lakers had a statement game and beat the Suns once in last year's playoffs.

The Lakers should be able to take this series.

Ho can any "fan" of a team consider watching his team compete a waste of time is beyond me. Well, I guess I put "fan" and not fan for a reason.

We lost this game when Fish went out in the 1st with 2 fouls. Before that we were up and doing fine, Farmar screwed us.

There you go. Can't be more clear than that. I'm almost never upset, about anything.

Quick edit:

I know we'll win it. In 5.

How did Pau play? His numbers look pretty bad. Did they utilize him as an option?


He didn't do squat except for one blocked shot in the 4th quarter...


Unfortunately yes, they utilized him, and far too often. He was garbage.

5-point loss, damn, I'm starting to get scary with these projections. The thing is, if we don't try something different, it could happen again, unless the officiating changed. But honestly, you can't say that the officiating was that lopsided. No reasons to think that it's going to be much better in game 4.

Farmar was simply atrocious.
Pau screwed himself by getting the ball pilfered a lot early. He was never comfortable working in the post and that's not going to work for a Center.

Surprised we had a shot but this still stung. No1 outside of Kobe really played that well. I expect better from every1 in game 4. Jazz got lucky this time.


Exactly, 18 to on the road, sash and jordan 0-9, Gasol with his worst Laker game, Luke with his usual clutch performance and we only lose by 5. That's ok for me, but you gotta do a much better job on sunday. Can't allow them to tie the series.

Yeah, I don't think they can pull that off again with a more focused Laker team in Game 4. I'm still pissed that the Lakers lost this game when they were so close to getting it. bang

You are dense. You claim that something is wrong with Kobe's 3 ball this season by saying that in 05/06 he would have made it and he just showed you that Kobe has a higher % this year. What is so hard to understand.

Damn, I hate bandwagon fans. CL should have closed the registration after the All Star.

Dude, get the hell out of here with that.


His last three 3's went wide right hitting the backboard.


you should take into consideration:

a) how fast he had to shoot them

b) the defensive pressure on him (aka he has to shoot it very far away or out of position in order to get the shot off in time, otherwise he'd get blocked 10 times a game with the way teams D him up)

c) one bad game doesn't make you a horrible three point shooter.
