Official Lakers @ Jazz, game 3, thread

I wouldn't say it's impossible...unlikely, yes, but certainly not impossible...plus, they were playing in Utah, where the Jazz only lost 8 games all year.

Yeah, it's just such an unusual night for Kobe. On any other night, he'd make about 11 of those.

It was an amazing game. I thought the Lakers were going to win this one and lose on Saturday, but i guess it will just flip flop. Lakers just need to score over 100 points to win the game on Saturday.

Not really, Lakers dont need to score over 100 to win a game.
Lakers really stepped up defensively in the 2nd half, but Kobe just had poor shooting night. I think if lakers defend as well as the last game and score little bit more, I think they would be fine.

I've never seen kobe goes for 5-24 before. He just missed a lot of shots. Some of them were easy shots too.

I really dont think Utah will beat the Lakers anymore.

You have to look at it this way

With kobe having the worst playoff performance of his career, Boozer having a career night (2nd playoff 20-20 in his career), Lakers missing a lot of lay-ups especially in the 1st quarter, Bynum fouling out in less than 10 minutes, Lakers still lost the game by 2 pts.

Yeah i know they don't have to, but if they do put up 100 points, there is no way the Jazz can compete with us.
