Now that the Suns sweep Spurs ...Can the Lakers & Magic Follow Suit ?

I think they can......Hawks look dead after blowing a first half lead the other day....and the Jazz Looking Nothing like the Team they were during Reg. Season.

Excuse me!
The Jazz are but a few possessions from being up 2-1 instead of down 3-0.
They may get swept, but it has been a extremely competitive series.
No dropoff in play, unless you're sighting the loss of Okur and AK47 for the first two games of series.

They seem to Choke during the Post season....Last year they got Knocked out in the First round.

Where did they almost Win 2 Games this series ?? If anything, they should have won the 3rd game. and they had the lakers by the balls, and blew that.

And Yes, Losing Okur back in April..was a Killer

But for a few misplayed possessions, Jazz could have won games 1 and 3.
I wouldn't call it a choke as much as I would call it being 1 "Big" short of being able to matchup contest the Lakers "Bigs". Puts huge pressure on all the rest of the Jazz to all have excellent performances same night and hope that Laker perimeter players are not shooting lights out. Jazz experiencing vs Lakers what Suns went through against Spurs for many playoff series before breaking thru this year.

Agree... Losing Okur really hurt this team. and when you go up against a Team like the Lakers, you need that one guy in the Paint that can put pressure on the other Big guys.
But then again, The lakers were shooting 3's like no other....the last game.
Williams stepped it up....but I guess we will never know.

I hope they win tonight....I'll be rooting for your team

Phoenix really appears to me to be the real deal this year...i would really like to see them beat the Lakers this year....they have a fun game, and they play hard, and FINALLY this year, they play defense too...

fun team to watch...
