he hasn't scored since the 10, he just came back in a few minutes ago but hasn't done anything yet. George is also back on the bench now so I guess it wasn't that bad. Just a slight ankle sprain.
Jarron Collins is doing a great job on Shaq so far, and Utah are up 36-35. Kirilenko hasn't found his shooting touch.....yet. Raul Lopez is shooting well, even though Utah are shooting 35%.
68-67 Jazz, 5 min to go...something tells me Shaq's gonna cost LA the game with some key missed free-throws.
Never seen a player get called for two technicals with bs like that less than 2 minutes apart. Gj officials really trying to throw this game aren't you? BS calls.
Well this was an umm interesting game. Both teams played pretty horrible. Lakers had sooo many people gone as well as Shaq getting ejected on a bogus call. Jazz took advantage and won, which I like to see. If Shaq had stayed in this game would of been more exciting than it already was. Much needed win for the Jazz. Overall this was a crazy game
Phil Jackson hasn't kept the Lakers chemistry up...i hope they don't fall apart and hang in there to win another championship. (Which they undoubtedly should in the first place)
What a let down, though there's not much you can do when you lose Shaq when you need him the most. Their were really some bad calls made throughout the whole game for both teams, it's a damn shame. We just couldn't execute in the 4th down the stretch when the Jazz couldn't miss, we had no answer. LA had a bad shot selection, couldn't find the right guy who we wanted the ball to, it just looked sloppy and like we fell apart during the last 6 minutes or so.
i just got back from the game and it was complete bs. not just the shaq T's (which was also bs) the refs called EVERY ticky tack foul on the lakers, and our players would get fouled hard and there would be no calls. i was extremly let down by that game, i went there to watch a great games and the refs had to completley ruin it, the whole game waas complete favoritism by the refs.

Man the Lakers they gotta win every game from now on. But that's not possible, I hope they atleast get 3rd seed.
ballerak47 i went to the game and the game wasnt evenly called AT ALL, and the first technichal was a horrible call. if u were at the game even some of the jazz fans thought the calls were bad.
What a bad way to lose this game last night. The referee ejects Shaq out of the game with that minor hit to Kirilenko's head? Give me a break. That wasn't even a technical, but just an offensive foul. This ejection totally cost us this game last night. I'm happy Phil Jackson called him out. I don't know if he's prejudice or not, but that call was just complete B.S. If Shaq was in that game, I'm pretty confident the Lakers would've taken this game. When that clueless referee took Shaq out of this ballgame, he clearly sent a message to the Utah Jazz to allow themselves to take over the ballgame, plain and simple.

Give me a break. I watched the game, besides the techs the game was definitely evenly called.

The main view of this game was the referee throwing out Shaq on a play that really should've been called an offensive foul. If Shaq still was in that game, it would've been a different result. But once he was gone, that ref gave the Jazz a clean shot of winning the ballgame.
Only the first T was bogus, Shaq is the biggest player in the game, so it is going to look worse than it normally is, I guaruntee that if Yao did that same move, Andrei wouldnt of fell down...the second one though, Shaq intentionally brought that hand down on him I believe, it was too forceful to be an accident, I think if Shaq was there we would of won, but great game by the Jazz, played with heart.

The league once again hating on Shaq. He got ejected for DUNKING THE BALL. Haha, that is allright. Shaq is becoming angry and fed up with the league and we all know what happense when he gets mad... DOMINATION, the MDE at FULL FORCE BABY!!!!!
^sure, then he just gets more offensive fouls and T's . You can't win against the refs. You gotta suck it up.
