Lakers finish off Jazz

Finally a team has won on the road! The Lakers were looking good most of the game but the Jazz would not go down easy that is for sure. The Jazz made some great plays in the last 5 minutes but Kobe Bryant and the Lakers were just to much and hit most of their free throws in the clutch. Derek Fisher missed one with about 10 seconds left and the Jazz quickly got the rebound and passed it down court for a chance at a game tying 3 pointer. They had two tries at it but just could not get it to go down. So the Lakers win a tight series in 6 games. So who is next for the Lakers? Any predictions out there? Will the Hornets be able to hold off the defending champs in game 7 at home? I can't wait to watch that game!

NBA PLAYOFFS 2008

Last night the Hornets had to win and they came out firing on all cylinders. David West was awesome last night with a career high 38 points 14 rebounds and 5 blocks! Chris Paul was very good as well with 22 points and 14 assists! Tim Duncan was held to a low 10 points which is amazing! I expect the Spurs to put up a tough fight in game 6 at home, but the Hornets appear unstoppable at home and the Spurs will have to find that old championship form quick or the Hornets will march on to the Western conference finals.

Now for the Celtics and Cavaliers game 5 tonight. A must win at home for Boston. Will the great Ray Allen finally start hitting some shots? He is a great pure shooter one of the best ever and can kill you if you give him an inch so we will see what happens with that. I am not sure if anyone in the East has what it takes to win the championship right now.

Lakers vs. Jazz game 5 should be exciting to watch at the Staples center. Kobe plays great anywhere most of the time but at home he is pretty much unstoppable. I look for the Lakers to bounce back tonight at home vs. Utah. For the Jazz to win Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer will have to play great and keep the other Lakers in check as keeping Kobe in check may to be much to ask.
