im with you, i just dont see the lakers losing..
there has been nothing in the last two games or any games in the playoffs that exposed any weakness in the team's defense and offense.. the lakers have been able to counter-adjust to any changes their opposing teams have made thus far.. what impresses me the most is the lakers poise during any jazz run; they always seem under control. it could be the homecourt advantage.
now i dont see them losing, however, i also wouldnt be surprised if they did lose 1(but only 1). utah is a great team, led by a great coach and a strong 1-2 punch since stocton to malone days. at home with that hostile crowd, you cant deny their impressive home record. |

You know I'm rollin with the sweep.
From a coaching standpoint, I just don't see a single adjustment Coach Sloan can make that'll beat us. It's not like they're playing like crap. They still scored 110pts last night. They just can't stop us. And the way we're playing at the moment, it's pretty much a lost cause. |

I think the main reason for them being able to handle those kind of situations is Derek Fisher. From the very beginning of this season, Derek has been the stablizer of this team. It also helps that during the regular season, PJax leaves his team in those kind of situations without calling timeouts. I think this method of coaching made the team grow some balls and handle the situation.. |

Except that Boozer, Williams and Okur were almost non existent in the 1st half, good thing those arent their good players and them playing well for a whole game won't make a difference. O wait it will |

| I think Utah can win 1 game. Even though they got their a$$es handed to them, they seem to have the right mindset heading back to Utah. They appear to be holding up pretty well. BUT WE'RE GONNA SWEEP THEM ANYWAY!!!!! |

| Not sure about a sweep. They were 37-4 at home in the regular season, so expect an overall better team in Energy Solutions Arena. They'll probably win one in Utah, but we'll win in 5. |

| Not long ago, many LTB members talked about sweeping. I thought it might be a bit hard to do against Utah but they may be right. The two home games were without a doubt going to LA. Now in Utah, I think the Lakers have a chance. I really like how they play on the road. It will be a hostile environment and lets expect the worse when it comes to their fans. But this is what will get the Lakers going. Their fans will be the reason for the defeat of their team. |

| If Pau plays great D on Boozer and Fisher will go off on D-Will and Kobe do his thang, then I don't see no reason for us to sweep them. |

Closest answer we can have. It's also true that not many adjustments can be made by Utah at this point, only Lakers' self-destruction can beat the Lakers right now, but I have a gut feeling they're get through this cleanly, but it's gonna be hard. |

| If we can play with the passion we played with on March 20th, then yes a sweep is in the works. |

We probably won't get quite as many calls in Utah, so I expect Game 3 to be much closer.
But then again, Kobe seems like he is on a mission and is not about to be stopped.
I expect Utah to win game 3, and we win the next two.
I almost hope their fans boo D-Fish and Kobe...it will keep us motivated. |

They always HAVE and ALWAYS WILL hate Kobe... but I doubt they are going to boo Fish, this game's going to have a lot of media attention and they seem tired of being attacked by the media. |
