it definitely said on the screen during the broadcast that he had fouled out. I thought it was strange. Probably just a mistake by.. who was it.. TNT?

#455,
I didn’t see that at all. I saw a very frustrated young man sit down on the bench, and his friend try to cheer him up. I even commented to my husband that “Andrew looks frustrated. Look at those eyes.”

If Bynum did not foul out, then my guess is that Phil pulled him out because he was a non-entity all night long.

As far as Fish, I totatlly agree. Dude needs to chill on the PUJIT.

It will be interesting if the Blazers and Lakers meet in these playoffs.

I fear our guys are liable to get knocked on their wallets.

Zephid – i agree with you, pau was obviously gassed and needed a rest. Here is where all the calls to bench sasha, luke, etc. make no sense to me…we NEED these guys, unless you want Kobe playing 43+ minutes a game. Say what you want about boozer hooking pau, but that play occurred because Pau was tired, lost focus on his man for a second, and in that second Boozer made a strong move to the hole.

What killed me was the TV shot of Andrew on the bench joking and laughing with Jordan after his fifth foul. Call me old school, but I remember the game faces of our Showtime Lakers and the 2000 threepeat Lakers. I’ve seen the pain in Jerry West’s face 30 year’s later discussing our 60′s finals losses to the green team .
If our starting center, not to mention Jordan, isn’t focused on a ring, we’re not showing the maturity to be champions.

New post up.

After future games I’ll try to get a post-game post up earlier.

my biggest gripe with last night is with Phil. Why did he leave Pau on Boozer when LO could have guarded Boozer and Pau could’ve guarded Milsap? This reminds me of when D. West was lighting up Pau. I think that LO is a better defender, although Pau usually defends Boozer better.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that the Jazz, other than Boozer, didn’t play particularly well either. They were way under their averages on shot percentage, had more tunrovers than the Lakers, etc…
So even though many of the Lakers had bad individual games, so did the Jazz.

I only say this to the people that are writing off the result of the close game because of poor Laker’s performances. If the Jazz all step up at the same time, possibly get Okur back, a big night from D-will, even with the Lakers playing much better it could still be a close game.

This series is no guaranteed blowout, especially without the Lakers playing smarter more focused ball.
