Jazz fans need to man up, instead of blaiming the refs, saying there was alot of bad calls, boo hoo. You guys claim to be a rough team, of course since your rough you commit a ton of fouls. Maybe if you actually learned how to play defense you wouldn't have to foul. Step 1 to winning a championship: You have to want it more than the other team. Step 2: Show up in big games. Boozer choked under pressure. Step 3: Defense Step 4: Get a real coach with a winning mentallity, Phil Jackson is always going to beat a Sloan team, he's proved that several times. To the Jazz fans: Im sorry that we took your western conference crown away(thats all you want to hang your hat on) but were not satisfied with that. LAKERS are about more than winning the west, we want the trophy. LAKERS 14 CHAMPIONSHIPS(soon to be 15)- jazz 0 GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was his problem down the stretch when defenders were really playing defense on him. He really does not have a jump shot which sort of hurts him. He is basically good at rebounds and making layups, thats it. Referees in Game 6 were calling the right calls for once in the Jazz arena. The Laker's just out played the Jazz the whole time. The Jazz could not make layups and open shots until the end..

Obviously your going to agree with what I said because your team was on the winning end of those decisions. Let the truth be known, your "beloved" Kobe Bryant, your "MVP" will never be in the same class as Jordan, Magic, Russell, Bird and so on. His recieving of the NBA's MVP award was a joke. The award is meant for a player that has the most profound and successful impact on a team...Chris Paul! Kobe's performance this year was the same last year. If anyone on the Lakers should have recieved that award it should have been given to Gasol seeing as how Gasol was the piece to the Lakers puzzle. Lest we forget; the beginning of the 2007 season where the "noble", "honorable", "Most Valuable Player" Kobe Bryant talked mad trash about your esteemed "Purple and Gold." Bryant bad mouthed the managing, coaching and players followed by the "cue de graw" statement admitting that he would like to be traded! Those are some pretty honorable and noble statements. Ofcourse now, Kobe is as happy as can be. So all you Lakers fans,(especially you problemsolver), think about how much love your boy Kobe had for you at the begining of this season when you start chanting "MVP" again. I cringe and dry heave everytime some gomer commentator fawns all over Mr. Bryant and his "incredible" skills. The true MVP got robbed his trophy this year, and I'll be right there cheering Mr. Paul on as he breaks Kobe's ankles and dashes his little pathetic season in a four game sweep! Whatever the outcome of this season, L.A's fans,(that's you Problemsovler) have proven yet again that they know/care more about their little knipping lap dogs in $5000 dollar hand bags, their hair, their manicures, pedicures, and any other pethetic fad that the rest of the country will sit and laugh at as California rots from the inside out from state bankruptcy, illegal immagration, and the worlds most rediculous laws ever created. So keep talking Problemsolver and when California either spontaneously combusts or sinks into the Pacific, those of us who had to be force fed your two faced, spoiled little brat of a so called ambassador to the NBA, Kobe Bryant, will be chillen sippin a cold one Arizona Bay! Problemsolver,

You can argue all you want about the Lakers vs. Celtics replay, the small demographic market of Salt Lake City or (the classic), "they hate Mormans" complaint. The fact remains, under Jerry Sloan as coach, the Jazz have been one of the most successful playoffs team in the history of the NBA. I've been a fan since I was a child. Since the days of Thurl Bailey, Mike Brown, and Mark Eaton, have I dreamed of seeing my team go to the Finals and claim the hallowed O'brien trophy. Only once have I been lucky enough to watch the Jazz go to the finals only to be heart broken by the greatest player to ever play the game, Jordan. I can hear it now, "Jordan pushed off of Russell." True, Jordan did push of off Russell but was it the core reason for losing that series? No. And if you really think that this was just one many instances proving that there are hidden agendas at play behind the scenes, then you obviously never played organized atheletics at a high competetive level. Refs are human, refs are old, refs are slow, refs are dumb, and finally refs are not the problem. Instead of blaming the misfortune of the Jazz on the weak aforementioned arguements, we the fans may want to acknowledge one thing. Since '88, the Jazz have had all kinds of incredibly talented atheletes come and go but always falling short when it counted most. So what is it that hasn't changed? Yes people call me what you want but I have to call a spade a spade. Sloan is the Marty Shottenheimer of the NBA. He will be a hall of fame coach and good reason. Is it really unfair to say that he has done just enough to not get fired? All I can say is, Sloan has consistantly produced teams that have pour free throwing stat's and the inability to handle high pressure, clutch situations. A lot of his success can be attributed to his traditional "pick 'n' roll" style of coaching as well as his focus on highly physical playing. Needless to say, I believe that we have always been beatin by the better teams, and yes, as much as it pains me to say it, the L.A. is the better team. We as fans need to hold the Jazz coaching accountable and not blame it on conspiracy's that are erounious at best.

You want us to stop booing Fisher, then tell him to put on Utah jersey, because every single player that comes in to that arena is going to be booed, no matter who they are. As Phil Jackson said, Utah loves basketball and we are die hard. By the way, after watching game 5, the only person showing any emotion was Jack Nicholson. The arena was silent. You guys go to games because it's the "scene" We go because we love basketball. If the Jazz can execute at both ends of the floor, then they will win.

We have an awesome team. Great bench lineup and of course an incredibly talented Deron Williams. We are only going to get better as time goes on. Derek Fischer is a great player in all but we have shown that we don't need him to make the playoffs. I know all Jazzbots are just dying to see the Jazz go to the Western Finals again. I know we can.

Boozer is quicker and much stronger than Gasol. I can tell you that I can hit an 15-18 foot jumpshot, like he quoted they were like layups to him. As regard to your 43%, how is that good for a person that should be 10 feet from the hoop? Since you assume this is good, I am sure that you will say its good for a power forward to average 4 turnovers a game as well. And I know you can't trade him during the playoffs! BENCH HIM!!!

How messed can you be? I would like to see you go out there and post up a 7' Pau Gasol! He's doing better than any other power forward on the Jazz. Plus you can't trade in the middle with the playoffs, and if you have a problem with him yelling, just turn the sound off! It's not too hard. And a piece of info for his shooting... He's avraging 43%! Thats extreamly good for a power forward in the playoffs. So tuffen up and try and live with him for the rest of the playoffs. What is the matter with “C-BIZKIT”?

It may not seem fair for Jazz fans, but think about it this way, Laker fans got it the same way. When the Lakers were at the "best" arena in the NBA, the refs called it in the way for the Jazz, and when the Jazz were at Staples (where apparently they are 0-5 this season) the refs called it in the way for the Lakers. So my point is, the home team has the advantage. Lastly, you guys have to stop booing Derek, I mean none of us can feel what he is going through unless you have been in that kind of situation. So, Jazz fans grow up and realize why Derek left utah. I am a Laker fan and I always will be. If the Lakers won't win in game 6, we will definitely prevail in game 7. Hope you enjoy watching your Jazz for the last time this season. Go Lakers!!!! Well first I have to say that the officiating for the games have been fair.

Boozer will not go up for the rebound unless he is absolutely alone. Harpring, Millsap and on occasion Jarron Collins will contest for a rebound. Boozer needs to box out in the middle, he is a strong power forward but apparently he likes the view he gets watching Odom go for the dunk like he did all last night. In game 5 I saw some of the worst officiated games ever, Memo could not get an over the back call even when Pau shoves him across the court. Steve Javie is just as bad as Dick Bovetta. The Utah Jazz is a young, strong and talented team, I will never stop being a fan so lets hope they can keep winning in Utah and get that much deserved championship that we have been waiting for forever.

It is obvious that the NBA wants a Laker-Celtic finals. It really was obvious in game 5. Gasol was over the back at least 5 times in the 2nd half and had an obvious charge on Harpring which was not called. Boozer was molested several times on put backs with no call. However, if you look at Bryant funny, a foul is called. It makes it hard to watch. Despite all of this, the Jazz should have still won the game and really are the better team. They can still win this despite all the "expert analysts" at ESPN. As far as Boozer goes, I just do not understand why he fades away and settles for jumpers when he is the strongest player on the court. He should average at least 12-14 free throws per game. I really think that Millsap mixes it up much more than Boozer. This team is young and has unbelievable potential. They should make few roster changes in the off season.

I also have been a fan for 20 years and all I can say is "It's not over til it's over". It's the best out of seven - remember? Go Jazz!!!!! What’s with all the negativity?
