The Lakers are better and should win the series, but obviously the Jazz are still very much in it. I feel Utah's only chance is to win game 5 on the road then close it out at home. Kobe in a game 7 at Staples Center gives us a very slim chance.
I love Boozer, but Jazz fans should abandon hope of him shooting a very good percentage from here on out in the playoffs. He's undersized for his position (which is why he slipped to the 2nd round of the draft), and the taller, longer armed PFs alter/block his shots and frustrate the heck out of him. The Gasol/Odom combination is too much, then if we somehow get to the next round Duncan would be next (I don't see the Hornets winning that series).
