Jazz vs Lakers thread

OK ladies and Gentlemen.  It is time for second round predictions.  The Lakers are a tough draw, well rested, and employ the league MVP. 

I am going homer on this one and picking the Jazz in six.  I think we came up with a good formula to slow down a dominant shooting guard.  We will keep Colby at least in check. 

What do you all think?

You are so right Scorched . . . . game one tomorrow will be the key. If the Jazz come out with the same fire and intenisty that they did last night in game 6, then I think we have a realistic chance. I really like our odds of taking it in 6.

The Lakers are an amazing team this year and we will have to come in with our A+ game to get them, but I really do think it is possible!!!

Go Jazz!

My reasoning behind winning in six is the Jazz have a way better point guard and a formula for slowing down the MVP. 

I also think we take one of two to start in LA, and we defend the Delta..er..ESA.  That makes six. 

If D-Will goes double digits on assists for the next six games, we will be worrying about Chris Paul instead of the Eagle Colorado mascot. 

I don't know about you guys, but I like the way that both of the Lakers/Jazz first round series ended. The Lakers swept the Nuggets, so they are going to be feeling extrememly confident. Hopefully to the point of overconfident. The Jazz on the other hand won 2 games on the road and hopefully clear up their insecurities there. They also found out that they CAN lose at home, where most of us felt like they were invincible.

So if it all works out the way I'm hoping, then the Jazz will come out feeling confident in LA and steal a game away from the 'overconfident' Lakers. And then come back to the ESA and realize that they have to do more than just show up.

This is definately going to be a more difficult series than Houston. It should be a good one.

Will the Lakers come out rusted or rested?  I guess the answer is rested.  Rough first half to say the least.  Down by 13, but it could have been a lot more.  Hope they can get their act together and stop throwing the ball away in the second half.
