I have to disagree with you, Mac. It is a huge surprise that Lakers lost 2 in a row to Utah. Granted, they lost at Jazz home, but 2 in a row? I am very surprised by Lakers lack of killer instinct. In game 1 & 2, they should have blown Jazz out with one more decisive run. Instead, they let them hang around until the end of the game. The two losses in Utah were similar. Lakers made an admirable comeback and are just one run away from pulling off a win. Instead, they choked.
Kobe has to play better toward the end. He's got a lot of turnover toward the end of the 2 defeats. Lakers need to win game 5! Game 6 is definitely not going to be easy, but if we won game 5, then all the momentum is on our side and pressure is on them. If we lost game 5, it'd be very difficult to win game 6 given the fact that we can't even beat them when we have no pressure on us.
