Stick a fork in Utah

This might be premature, but Utah is toast in this series! Normally when you score 29 in the 1st quarter you can expect to be up....unless you give up 41. Neither team is really playing defense, but the last thing Utah wants is a run n' gun with the Lakers. The Jazz are just outmatched.......

Got a piece of the Jazz ML when they went down 16.....+2600

once utah starts playing with the mentality that they actually BELONG in the series, they can make things much more interesting

until then, they're just playing not to lose and seemingly trying to prove to themselves that they can hang with the lakers

jordan farmer in the process of losing his back up point role, and future starting role to Shannon brown, and i love every second of it

Farmer has already lost it. Laker fans have been calling for Farmer to be benched all year. He's been trash and has a big ego. SHANWOW BROWN FTW.

i'm having trouble figuring out how this series will go in utah...it's the toughest place to play on the road, but will it really make a difference? anyone have any idea what the line will be? lakers -5?

Utah doesnt belong on same court regardless of how thye mentally prepare for it

and the toughest place to play on the road is in cleveland not utah

lakers in 5 gl

These teams could play on the moon and it wouldn't matter. The only way Utah wins a game is if, the Lakers get bored and let them back in it. After the way the Lakers played in the 2H of the game 1, I see them pounding Utah some more in the 2H of this one.

I agree, Farmer is garbage he played awful all year after having a great year last year which I think went right to his head. He shoots to much and turns the ball over too much as well and his performance has taken away from the 2nd unit and caused that unit to really struggle. I just don't understand with how much hes struggle and how many leads the 2nd unit has given up throughout the season, why has it taken so long for Phil to get Shannon Brown some playing time

Boucher you ask a question that every Laker fans asks. I don't know what PJAX was thinking. I guess he didn't want to ruin Farmer's confidence. I'm pretty sure he's gone this off-season. He played well last year, but I never liked him. Always been too cocky...and he doesn't run the offense. Just loves to run and gun. It's great to see Shannon playing well. Farmer and Vujacic alone this year cost the Lakers games. that 2nd unit was utter trash once Bynum went down and Odom was starting.

So much for a strong 2H by the Lakers. Another blown lead.....
