All I know is that after watching this series, my wife, who was a Lakers fan has been disgusted at the preferential treatment the Lakers have been getting, particularly in the 4th quarter, and she's beginning to really resent them. yay!

Anyone who is a fan of the NBA should know how it works by now. If you can't handle it become a hockey fan. The Jazz series has been nearly identical to the Spurs Vs. Hornets series. It is the same officials that we saw in the '97 and '98 finals. Complaining about NBA officials is about as effective as itching a rash.

The series is 3-2 because Carlos has been a chump and Sloan keeps going to him at the end of the game. Okur reminded me of Vlade Divac when he bailed out on that rebound at the end of the game.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, statistically speaking home teams lose in game 7's more often than they win them (at least according to my sports psychology professor from a couple years ago), I think the Jazz have a good chance of doing to LA what they did to Houston last year.

Oops....

Looks like the Jazz took your approach to game 6.....

During the Celtics-Cavaliers game, there was a stat thrown up that said the home team won over 80% of the time in game sevens...Assuming this is true, your sports psychology prof gets an F for knowing what he is talking about...
