Don't forget to read through the CL G uidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

I can't believe we're off until Saturday, what kinda weird schedule is that?

lets go lakers!
ill be satisfied with taking 1 game.
a sweep would be even better!

Give me one in Utah.

If we go in there and get gm 3 it will let everyone know LA is focus on the task @ hand.

I hope we win game 3 and take a commanding lead in the series. Utah hasn't impressed at all, but it gets loud up there in utah so hope the guys will be ready for it.

LET'S GO LAY-KURZ!!

I think we go in there and take this game by around 5 points. It should be a close game throughout with the Lakers pulling it out at the end.

The three days off should be huge.

same strategy pound their midgets inside.

And we'll get hosed by the refs, play through it. Hopefully, Jazz miss their treys.

This will probably be a tough game, but I can see the Lakers winning if they play their "A" game. I just hope the FT disparity isn't as bad as it was in the first round. As usual for Game 3's on the road, my head says Jazz, but my heart says Lakers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

I'm hoping the refs let them play again. The refs let A LOT of stuff go on both ends of the floor, especially in Game 2. The difference was that while both LA and Utah were getting hacked down low, the Lakers finished their shots. So yeah, they didn't get the And-1, but they got the basket whereas the Jazz just flat out got denied.

I agree with Barkely that Utah doesn't believe they can beat the Lakers. So i say we get game 3.

Look for a ft disparity of about 35-15.

If we can overcome that through rebounding and limited to's we've got a shot. Anymore than about 12to's and I'd say we got no chance.

Lakers 95
jazz 92

Entrance LL, section 119, row 6, and seats 3 and 4 is where I will be Saturday cheering the Lakers onto a 3-0 start.

Nice. I hope you're shown on TV.

So I live in Utah now and I'm listening to sports radio today and they're talking about the reasons they think the Jazz can over come the odds and come back and win the series. I'm thinking to my self are you out of your mind. You think the Jazz are going to win 4 out 5. Now I know anything can happen, but these guys were talking like they had just as much chance to win this series as the Lakers do. I so hope we can shut them all up tomorrow with a win in game 3.

I think they have to be positive and say things like that, since they're discussing the team from a local point of view. If they said the Jazz have little to no chance of winning the series, Utah fans would make angry calls to the station, and demand to know why they have no confidence in the Jazz. But I'm with you. I hope the Lakers go up 3-0 to make them face reality.

Let's do this!!

Jazz by 12

I think we lose this one, then win game 4 by 8.

Utah will take this, but I expect the Lakers to bounce back in game 4.

I predict Boozer will once again be the loudest player on the floor and that the audio will cut in and out as ABC attempts to censor his popular "God damn call a foul" and "gimme dat s**t" catchphrases.

Almost game time, must not slip today.

what time is it!? game time whooooo

aaah 2 am here hopefully i don't fall asleep in the middle of the game ... didn't go drinking tonight so hopefully it will be worth it

gametime !
