By the way, Deron Williams is the BEST POINT GUARD in the playoffs, including CP3. Even amongst the eliminated teams *COUGH* AI.

AI is a pseudo SG/PG. AI > CP3 > Deron.

No way....AI and the aforementioned guards have exceptional skill in every category. Except AI is lacking in one category. Compared to CP3 and Deron, it is my opinion that AI does not have the IQ. Now I'm not saying AI can not recognize a zone or sense the double team, but it seems that CP3 and Deron handle situations more effectively. Now when comparing CP3 and Deron, they are very close, but I give Deron the edge simply based on the fact that Deron plays [slightly] better D then CP3.

Oh man, Kobe was gonna put on a dunk contest w/ that 2H windmill. Too bad some jerk broke it.

Fair enough. You'd have to remember that CP3 has a height disadvantage against Deron so he's kinda handicapped when it comes to D. Although it is a tall-man's game

Deron was great with the illini back in the NCAA. In any case, both CP3 and Deron are WAY better tahn lebron

geezes...deron williams is like the only player in the jazz who never gives up. Great player to watch. His last layup was amazing. I like him better than CP3 just for his upper body strength. More rugged.

NBA has some awesome young players now. CP3 and Deron are different players than Lebron though. I like all three. I see CP3 and Deron bringing some insane basketball for years to come.


ARG...Gasol should really learn to finish strong. Blah! can't wait 'till I see the Lakers w/ Bynum.


EDIT:
1 more quarter for a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Close it out! Go LAKERS!


EDIT2:
DAMN IT c'mon lakers! dang, jazz never gives up.

 

[Baked]

Man, great game, but I would've much rather have Lakers just close it out and start taking out daggers.

However, from the feel of the game, it really feels like the Lakers will win this game no matter what the Jazz threw...even at this stage of the game.


EDIT: WTF kirlienko again!?
EDIT2: Great clutch freethrows by Odom and Kobe :thumbsup: C'mon! I'm still waiting for a nice Defensive stop + Dagger.
EDIT3:
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT4: WTF lame D was that?!

EDIT5:
HORRID DEFENSE BY LAKERS BUT YAAAH!!!! YEAAAH! YEAH YEAH!!!!! LAKERS!!!!!! man waht a finish. sheesh. Lakers LUCKED out there hahaha. YEAAH!!!! Incredible games.

*High 5's all laker fans here... Baked, James3shin, Julesmax, etc..*

 

[Baked]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE!

 

[James3shin]

YES!!!

 

[JulesMaximus]

YES!!! LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE

 

[w3stfa11]

I though Deron's 3 was going in. DAMMIT! Great game, though.

 

[Ricochet]

Alright! Lakers advance. That was close.

Have to admit there were some bad calls against the Jazz in this game. I have the utmost respect for Deron Williams. The guy plays with a lot of heart regardless what the score is.

 

[JJChicken]

Wow what a great game

Why, because it's right before the half? That's DFish's shot, it's not like it's a prayer shot right before the half. You play 48 minutes of the game, 24 minutes of the half. So what if he fouled him with .9 seconds to go, it's still a foul ...

Of course, I am saying that as a Laker fan ...

Great job by the Lakers for the first 40 or so minutes ... way to give me a heart attack for the last 2. I can't believe how many 3s the Jazz made in that last minute.

As for the Jazz ... great team, but classless fans.

 

[dbk]

The Lakers ...can they be stopped??? DAYAM

The refs were so stunned by it they happened to miss Garnett's forearm push to james' chest, trying to take the foul.

Kevin Harlan on the call:

"LEBRON JAMES!!!!....WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!!!"

Wtf, lol! :laugh:

Pic of forearm to the chest during the dunk

lol from that angle it looks like he also checked him for a hernia, turn your head, cough.


Where are all the Boston fanbois crying about that horrible non call? Only makes your screams of "no fair" blatantly bias and pathetic, oh nvm, ur from Boston that should be expected.
