My Sunday block starts at 1:00; however, we have a 9 year old who was up all night yakking, so I needed to stay home with him to make sure he's ok.

I actually watched the game from start to finish. I think it's the 3rd game this year I've done that, counting the game I went to with Mr. Lebowski.

A neighbor of mine who is a Lakers fan will undoubtedly tell me that the Jazz got lucky because the Lakers didn't play well and almost won both games here. I kind of see it as the Jazz tied the series at 2 games each.

I've decided that the Jazz did the right thing taking Williams. He's a Sloan kind of player.

I'm going to be like others and say that this will go 7 games with the home team winning each game. Lakers will advance.

On a side note, on thing I would do if I was the Jazz owner - other than probably be at the game today - would be to have every Laker fan in the arena during the playoffs to be escorted out of the building and told to go home. I'd even refund them their money.

But I'd let Derek Fisher's mom stay, she'd just have to go watch the game from the concourse on the TVs at the concession stands.
