Los Angeles Lakers@ Utah Jazz Official Game 6 Thread - Sports, Baseball, Football, Basketball and Off-Topic Discussion Forum

Tonight at 10:30 est. Can the Lakers finish the job in a very tough place to win? Or will it go 7? If it goes 7 I think Utah has gained some confidence from their performance the other night in Game 5 even though they haven't won yet in L.A. in the series.

Darius Ali · 05-16-2008, 04:19 PM

I think L.A. pulls it out tonight. As a matter of fact I think L.A. will win the title this year. Ever since they got Gasol I thought that they were a top team. After watching them play every game during the playoffs so far I think they are the team to beat. Although Kobe needs to be healthy.

i just hope lakers can win tonite cuz i just want this damn series to be over...
but if they go to game 7, lakers are for sure going to win cuz lakers are good at home and they have homecourt advantage until the finals, which depends who they are going against

deluxbucs · 05-16-2008, 04:36 PM

everyone is good at home this playoffs season. I think utah pulls it out tonight to set up a game seven. Utah is one of the toughest teams in the league to play at home.

thilianwij · 05-16-2008, 04:42 PM

it doesnt really matter to me if lakers win or lose tonite, as long as they win at HOME! lakers play really good when theyre in their homecourt but once they go to utah like tonite, theyre not as good. but its true utah had the best record at home, but i really want this series to be over so lakers can go next round and just wait for the hornets haha

Darius Ali · 05-16-2008, 10:22 PM

L.A. up by 12! If they can sustain this then its all over baby. But its still too early to get too excited.

Mr. MVP · 05-16-2008, 10:25 PM

If we have learned anything this playoffs is that a road team with a big lead will find a way to blow the game.

Crono139 · 05-16-2008, 10:47 PM

Kobe is on point once again, but Miles is keeping Utah in this one.

Mr. MVP · 05-16-2008, 11:22 PM

80-66 Lakers with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd. The Jazz are trying to make a push.

Crono139 · 05-16-2008, 11:45 PM

Someone has to tell the Jazz to calm down.

They've cut the deficit to 9.

thilianwij · 05-17-2008, 01:05 AM

Lakers Won!!! YAaaa! Next round here we come! and Thats one step closer to the NBA Championship!

Darius Ali · 05-17-2008, 01:36 AM

L.A. vs? I think the Hornets will pull it out. And seeing as Tyson Chandler is my favorite player then Im rooting for them. But it would be nice to see Horry in another finals.... :)

thilianwij · 05-17-2008, 01:39 AM

Lakers all the way!!! I'm sorry but Horry has been in enuff finals for his career. it is now kobe's turn to win a championship by himself and get out of the shadow of ppl saying kobe can't win w/o shaq, cuz its not true, and this is his year!!!

Darius Ali · 05-17-2008, 01:44 AM

Well, I agree that the Lakers are the team to beat. However, its not so much that Kobe CAN"T win without Shaq. Its just the fact that Shaq played such a monster role in those 3 titles. During those years, you could replace Kobe with any other allstar Sg of that era and the Lakers still would have won. Shaq was just that good. But if you took Shaq of that team back then, then you could not replace him with anyone.
