--In finishing with 27 points and 20 rebounds Friday, Carlos Boozer enjoyed his biggest game since he totaled 34 points and 17 rebounds in the Jazz's March 28 victory over the L.A. Clippers. The 20 rebounds were a playoff career high for Boozer.

--The Jazz made 12 of 19 shots in the second quarter in building a 13-point lead. They played from behind against the Lakers for most of Games 1 and 2 after falling behind by double digits in the first half.

--The Jazz improved to 41-5 this season at EnergySolutions Arena -- 37-4 in the regular season and 4-1 in the playoffs. The Lakers are one of four teams to beat the Jazz in Utah this season, having ended their 19-game home winning streak on March 20.

--Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer were named to the all-NBA second and third team, respectively. They become the first Jazz players to be selected all-NBA since Karl Malone in the 2000-2001 season. Williams was joined on the second team by Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Everybody goes through a stage when things are tough on them, but I think he has to do the work and he certainly did it tonight." -- Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on Carlos Boozer's breakthrough game.

Your team's problem is that you have no defensive presence up front.  Boozer and Okur are both sub-par defenders.  I think the Lakers have exploited that weakness this series, and I don't see how you guys could win a Championship until that is fixed.

Yes some of those "home-court" calls were brutal, particularly in the third quarter when we were trying to make our run, but we had our chances, and just couldn't hit the big shots at the end yet again. Each game on the road has really been just a matter of hitting out shots down the stretch, whcih we have failed to do.

My patience with Okur is running thin. His inab ...(more)

"We never really felt threatened. "
"In game 3 there are no expectations, no pressure."
"They have to catch up and beat us twice as many games as they have in 2 years."

Fellow Jazz fans:  Do you think our team threw off their much talked about road woes by taking the first 2 in Houston, or do you think it will come back to haunt us in the second round?

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 ...(more)

I for one am glad he is getting boo'd.  He is a liar, he didn't like playing in Utah so he left.  Way to use your daughter as your best poker chip you bum.

I think it's WWF, the fake,  dressed up, juiced up wrestlers, entertaining  all those folks with thick souther accents. That is what the playoffs look like to me. Collins (TNT) keeps a running account of the calls, and the total foul shots for both teams. Making sure the public," that has complained" about the disparity, knows how close it's being called. Then when the ...(more)

Been in Mexico for a week but read the comments. Gotta take it when it's deserved. DO you know how hard it is to find a bar that has the game on in Cabo ? I actually thought when LA sent it to OT that we were looking at 3-1, but your boys proved better and props to them. Tonights game I feel goes either way. Good luck. (does anyone feel that Turiaf tried to hurt Price ?)

Big night of first.
Kobe's first MVP,
Jazz's first game 2 loss to LA
LA's first 2-0 over the jazz
Just an all around azzwhoopin. Also, those last 3 3's by DERROIN (Whatever his name is) made it closer then it looked. 9 points in the last  1 1/2 minutes and you still lost by 10. Don't get the hop

You've earned it.  I don't think Lakers can beat you with a hurt Kobe.   Our time has come.    I think your team can do it vs Hornets or Spurs.
