Utah is solid.

[Deuce]

Unreal. Kobe is not a factor.

[WileOut]

Kobe may be hurt. I'm watching closely may pound the interactives.

Utah was the best home team in the NBA this year too. Playing in the west and putting up the home record they did is very impressive.

[flyingillini]

I sure hope Utah pulls out the series.

[Tsoprano]

Utah is a better team. Underrated.

[Tchocky]

Game 5 is a must win game for the Lakers. Utah in 6 or Lakers in 7.

[gordon gekko]

Once they go back to L.A. the jazz are going to get slaughtered.

i wouldnt say kobe isnt a factor,espicialy after the game he played today.he did his damnest to keep his team in the game.with him hurting,the edge goes to utah.they have the best record at home.no answer for williams,or boozer.okur is tuff on the inside,but like typical europeans,is a tall out side threat.when ak 47 is on,he is a shoot blocking pro.

It sure looks like Utah is a little better all around team than Lakers, the Bynum factor is not starting to be felt. I think Utah in 6.
