The Lakers will need to do a whole lot more than stand around and watch tonight if they want to get Game 5. The Jazz were able to have their way offensively for two games in Utah, so the Lakers defense will need to step up tonight as the series returns to Los Angeles.
Oh yeah, and about Kobe Bryant and his back? He's going to play (of course), but it remains to be seen how much the injury will limit him. Even if he's hurting, as long as Kobe looks to distribute to his teammates a little more than he did in the fourth quarter and overtime of Game 4, the insane trend of home teams winning almost all of their games this round should continue. Join me right here for all the action, we'll get started around 1030PM EST.

1. Utah is going to compare the refs to the refs in Super Bowl 40. They aren't right, but the Jazz will complain and everyone will agree with them. Except us Laker fans of course.

3. No question that was a push-off on Gasol at the end. However, the refs weren't calling fouls on rebounds for the entire game. Remember Millsap mugging Kobe in the 2nd half? So, smart play by Pau to recognize the way the game was being called.

4. Pau Gasol is a clean player ;
They don't come as clean as Gasol ;
Carlos Boozer is a dirty player he looks like a terrorist , so is Okur a Muslim;
In fact , Spurs, Celtics and Jazz practice the push and shove style these 3 teams are dirty and they will do anything dirty to win.
