Game Thread - Lakers vs. Jazz, Game 4

Pressure is still on Utah, who can't afford to go down 3-1. Fewer TOs and more made jumpers and the Lakers can steal one in Salt Lake. A heartier constitution displayed by Pau Gasol won't hurt, either.
BK
YEAH!
Kobe Bryant!
MVP! MVP! MVP!
GO LAKERS!

I normally try not to let the refs affect my enjoyment of the game, but...
Most Homer-centric game I've seen in a long time.
And as I write this, Kobe strikes at the end.
To be tied at the half, after that first 24, is unbelievable.
Go Lakers!!!!

nice.. tied at the half
Posted by: grail | May 11, 2008 at 01:45 PM
Tied... uff
Well we´re getting in
Let´s go lakers

Williams is a retard. He said Turiaf's foul was a flagrant becuase it was after the whistle. Then his teammates should not have gone to the hoop looking like he wanted to score.
Posted by: Tom | May 11, 2008 at 01:45 PM
The NBA: were The Machine gets all ball yet we must give D Will 2 free throws to give him-and his team-a little half time momentum to feel good about themselve going into the 2nd half happens.
Posted by: passionate Lakers fan | May 11, 2008 at 01:45 PM
payback.
woooooooooooooooooooo..
go kobe!
go sasha!
go lamar!
GO LAKERS!

that last second shot by Kob was amazing, man is a warrior :)
Posted by: playa | May 11, 2008 at 01:47 PM
I don't think it is a coincidencce that the Lakers are making their run with BOTH Vlad and Farmar on the bench. BUt I bet Phil is going to play both of them in the second half. PLEASE sit both of them. Please.

Well Ronnie's was unnecessary foul - they had blown the whistle on sasha so i think he deserved it.

Why was Price still driving to the basket then? Only one team is allowed to play after the whistle?
Posted by: WWJWWD | May 11, 2008 at 01:47 PM
In spite of D Fish being called for 2 quick 1st qtr fouls...
In spite of Utah being allowed to play football....
In spite of L.A. being whistled for touch foul...
In spite of playing 5 (Lakers) against 9 (Jazz/refs/Stern wanting 7 game series).....
In spite of the above affecting LA mentally (i.e. missed free throw).....
WE MUST SOLDIER ON!!!!
STAY STRONG IN MIND AND WE WILL WIN!!!
LETS GO LAKE SHOW!!!!
Posted by: passionate Lakers fan | May 11, 2008 at 01:49 PM
The Jazz are worried! Why? Were still playing terrible and the game is tied. We have officially played through the inconsistent foul calls. People say that we were exposed friday. Wether yall wana believe it or not Phil is exposing the Jazz's weakness. That's why were tied
Posted by: lakeraholic | May 11, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Fish needs to stay out of trouble. Farmar is getting smoked by Deron. Let's make the free throws. I hope things are ok with Kobe. Gasol needs to step and perform. Better defense is crucial in the second half.
Posted by: lakersfan the "wolf" | May 11, 2008 at 01:50 PM
does anyone have a working link for the lakers game? all the ones i've been on has died out..thanks!
Posted by: tim | May 11, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Even with all that's gone wrong, the Lakers are still here and will win this game in the second half. We'd be up if we hit even half of our free throws. Kobe with the nice jumper at the buzzer, should've been a three point play with Brewer pushing Kobe. Farmar and Rad need to give us something. Go Lakers!!!
Posted by: Nemaia Faletogo | May 11, 2008 at 01:51 PM
I think Jeff Van Gundy is the best on the ABC/Espn crew.
Posted by: Tom | May 11, 2008 at 01:54 PM
WOW.........
were tied.........
an everything that went wrong in that half......
an were tied.
I still think vlad an farmar would have an impact before the game is over.
Posted by: COMPTON FINEST | May 11, 2008 at 01:55 PM
anyone know of an email or phone number to the league headquarters? this is absolutely ridiculous homecooking. i mean...that Vuacic block on Deron was a clean block all day long. Yet Pau gets HACKED so loud you can hear it on t.v...and no foul? What about that flop by Okur. Lamar didn't come close to fouling him. This is just really really bad.
Posted by: lakerfan | May 11, 2008 at 01:55 PM
Very Important

Posted by: Tom | May 11, 2008 at 01:56 PM
The refs are calling the game soft. As Phil has said before, maybe the refs are intimidated. Incompetent refs..... stupid. Let's play this game and win today!!!!!!!!
Posted by: lakersfan the "wolf" | May 11, 2008 at 01:56 PM
Man, what a story on DJ. I had no idea he had been through so much, it puts the idea of going to playoff war in perspective
Posted by: lakerzeitgeist | May 11, 2008 at 01:57 PM
that was the correct move ,put sasha for farmar
with farmar on the game we are playing 5 against 4
Posted by: VINNY | May 11, 2008 at 01:58 PM
Can somebody tell me what is going on with Jordan? He is nor rook anymore, he suppose like take a torch from Fish in the future in starting lineup. Any thoughts?
Posted by: LAL_Fan | May 11, 2008 at 02:00 PM

ALL THE LINKS ARE DEAD!!!
Posted by: shneurson | May 11, 2008 at 02:01 PM
We're all pretty hard on Jordan. It's still year two for this kid.
Sasha is showing up big in this game. He's in year four. It shows.
Fish has some tough calls and the Lakers were definitely on the short end of a few more than just his, but in the end the Lakers have been able to capitalize on opportunities.
The players must win the game. Losses are not the fault of the refs.
Nice first half by Pau. I liked his aggression and muscle around the hoop. He's going to the hole and not letting the mongoloid Jazz players push him around.
Looking for the Lakers to take over in the second half.
Posted by: "Pig" Miller | May 11, 2008 at 02:02 PM
No matter what happens today: the Lake Show is the better team.
And the Jazz players know it.
PS:
did someone say fixed?
Posted by: Faith | May 11, 2008 at 01:26 PM
And yes, Faith, Stern-and his ref's-are trying to steal this game (however, the Jazz will not steal this series).
Posted by: passionate Lakers fan | May 11, 2008 at 02:02 PM
if Vladimir and Jordan don't get it together, they will not play in the next series.
Posted by: passionate Lakers fan | May 11, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Good pass from Gasol
Posted by: HugoSpain "horse whisperer???" | May 11, 2008 at 02:04 PM
With CP3 and Deron Williams in the West, we may be in trouble if Farmar is our PG of the future. I know that Farmar is only in his second year, but those other two seem to be light years ahead of Farmar in terms of development.
Posted by: Nemaia Faletogo | May 11, 2008 at 02:05 PM
By the way Odom i s talking to Vlad, we know Vlad messed up. Vlad sucks. He leaves okur
Posted by: Tom | May 11, 2008 at 02:07 PM
VLAD SUCKS! CAn't make a open shot!

Take this piece of crap out. Take Vlad out. He is horrendous on defense. So hard to watch him play!
Posted by: Tom | May 11, 2008 at 02:11 PM
Am I the only one who thinks with Vlade in starting lineup we are playing like 4 against 5? Total useless on D orO for this matter
Posted by: LAL_Fan | May 11, 2008 at 02:11 PM
Boozer gets more love from the refs than he deserves. He should have picked up several more fouls than he has, including that one on Lamar's fastbreak that went unpunished.
Posted by: WWJWWD | May 11, 2008 at 02:11 PM
The NBA: where being exposed (Vladimir and Jordan) happens.
Posted by: passionate Lakers fan | May 11, 2008 at 02:12 PM
