Nice rebound by the Jazz. Hopefully they win the next one in LA. Wonder how hurt Kobe is.

Both of these teams are really good.  I'm actually a little more scared of Utah; they just present a ton of matchup problems for the Celts.

Yes I think the Jazz cause more matchup problems than anyone else. Just the power and dominance of Deron and the matchup issues that Okur poses is enough to hesitate against them. Their offense is brilliant and can handle the C's defense. They'd be a very tough opponent.

I can't see them getting past LA though.

I can't see the Lakers losing this one. Fisher and Bryant will control this game.

Definitely a hard fought game. Wouldn't be the Jazz otherwise.

I liked Lakers in 6 before the series. Feel good enough about that still, Lakers in 6 or 7. I can't see Kobe letting this series slip away.

Kobe got a bad back,a lot going to depend on his health in the next few games.It looked more serious than a regular spasm.

its been a strange playoffs season,so far...seems like no one wants to win on the road.I think,the Piston won 1 on the road,but barely.I know we are on a LA/Utah thread,but i think the C's will win Friday night,once that happens,watch out everyone else.I think the jinx,the mental lapses ,or whatever has kept us from winning on the road,will turn around from that point on. ;D
