This is more about a sort of underdog against a Goliath than anything else.

Not that this means anything but:

The Lakers took season series 3-1, outscoring the Jazz by a total of 45 points.  Two of the wins were without Bynum, and one of those also without Bryant.

Utah is even more banged up than LA.

Jackson has a playoff record of 4-0 vs. Sloan winning 16 of 23 playoff games, which is better than his playoff average.

lakers 4 jazz 0

lakers 4 san antonio 3

lakers 4 orlando 1

and then we were dancing in LA...again.

we all know the lakers finally have their mojo back, again, we know exactly what the end result will be now. boozer had his fun, now he will be rebounding from the laker twin towers. i'm really getting tired of this annual beating of the jazz. maybe they can be put in the east ?

let's get it over with, because the much anticipated world cup soccer is next, baby.

forget boring baseball.

What do you mean the Lakers own the Jazz. We will see.

Final game score will be Lakers 107-96. Kobe will score 31, with 14 assists. Pete, sitting in the nosebleeds will down five hot dogs, and three beers before being ejected for pro Jazz comments. Jack N. will refuse to give autographs, as a protect to everyone, including all the Laker Girls being taller than he is.

In the previous post, that should be PROTEST...not protect.
