An undefeated record in the playoffs has come to an end. With the Lakers losing in Utah, 99-104, an ugly game has left the Lakers in a 2-1 series.
Reasons Why The Lakers Lost
-Lakers were sloppy in the first half. (10 turnovers by halftime)
-Gasol, Vujacic, Radmanovic, and Farmer were ineffective. Each played with a lack of tenacity.
-Boozer was not in foul trouble (Led to his 27 points, 20 rebounds)
-Couldn't stop the pick-and-roll. Jazz had a lot of high % shots in the game.
-The crowd was loud. Annoyingly loud. I had to mute the broadcast.
Comments: Game 3 was a hard game to watch. It was not the fact that the Lakers played such a poor game, but because the Utah fans are insane. There are moments that make sense to yell, boo, scream, or whatever, but doing all of that at once for THE ENTIRE GAME drove me nuts. It wasn't entertainment, it felt more like a bad horror movie. Dumb, frustrating, and pathetic. I don't expect the Utah fans' insanity to change in Game 4, so don't expect me to be watching the next game. But for Game 5, I will of course.
Next Game: Sun, May 11. 12:30 pm Pacific. TV: ABC
