On Sunday night, Los Angeles Lakers began their semifinal series against the Utah Jazz. Pau Gasol's team won 104-99 victory thanks to the good performance of Spanish pivot and Kobe Bryant. However, as already happened in the first round against the Thunder, the Lakers suffered and gave his rival options until the last minute. The Lakers went to the game that much more into Jazz. Gasol, with 8 points in the home, allowed his men to take the first advantage (30-23) in the first quarter, which grew to 14 points in the second thanks to the yellow dominance in the paint, where the Lakers kicked out of unless their losses, because they can not count or with Okur or with Kirilenko. Despite this, Utah have been characterized for many years to be a very tough team and never threw in the towel. Deron Williams (24 points and 8 assists) led the comeback and gave the Jazz options until the last minute helped by strong defense of his team, which practically wiped about Lakers scored only one point in nearly six minutes. The quarter was 1-12 and the advantage was three points for the Jazz (82-81). In the last two minutes, both teams were separated by a single point. The Lakers left the responsibility for Bryant. The point guard missed his providential Odom attack but appeared to collect the rebound and score. On the next play, Williams played with Boozer lost the ball. From that point, the Lakers sentenced from the free throw line and scored the first win of the series. Thank you to hear your view favored on this entry. Refrain from insulting and using profanity.

The stories of Sports Illustrated are among the best in the world as far as sport is concerned, obviously. Both the magazine and its website should be followed daily by every good sports fan by United States and worldwide. Yesterday, Lee Jenkins wrote a comprehensive text on Pau Gasol, Spanish adorning the figure of this week has been proclaimed as the best player in the NBA West. Blurred criticism (and like the swallows return) around the Catalan power forward with the defeats came a few weeks ago now (seven on a roll and adding) return the compliments of the hands of their better statistics and victories, not a game that makes the Lakers as favorites like last year. If Artest does not appear in this little corner of cyberspace is that the world is coming to an end. Cross your fingers. This time your forked tongue has returned to drop a snake that has now screwed by surprise. Said the Lakers forward Trevor Ariza, one for which he was traded to the Rockets this summer "better" than him. Literal. The statement is not the result of a lysergic trip, but has a very round reasoning. Round with a hole in the middle. And it's not a donut. We talked about a ring in the NBA, just what is and is not Ariza Ron-Ron. "It's better looking than me. He has won a ring, not me. I can not even compare with him. He is a better player, "Artest waved at the LA Times. It is not the only reason that justifies this striking phrase forward. "It's a role player, a specialist, in that sense it makes a great paper. I've never been a specific player. Many times in my career I had to carry the load in the attack, the protagonist, so there is a different view to compare. " In short, he is a star who sacrifices himself for being in the Lakers and not a good bench player that you can not ask for more. But with a catch. The power of the ring. The blog today CelticsHub rescues an anecdote from the book 'When the game was ours, "Jackie MacMullen in which it is clear that Gilbert Arenas is not the first NBA player who has carried a weapon in a locker room. The piece is now recovering book tells a story from another era, when being a black player on the Boston Celtics caused more harm than desirable in a city surrounded by racism, a city where Robert Parish was constantly stopped by police, and not just for an autograph, or in which KC Jones, then coach ML Carr, was not admitted to a golf club was invited to leave a restaurant because of the color of their skin. The gun incident referred to as colored stars in another player and is set in an era of racial conflict and violence, nothing to do with the awkwardness of Arenas and Crittenton. We speak of ML Carr, who after a couple of racial incidents where his family was involved, decided to always carry a revolver with him if he had to defend themselves. The 'defense' of Carr accompanied him to the Boston Garden during the days of training and matches during his playing days and also when he was assistant to the Celtics (has the worst record in one season as coach of the Celtics and became management in the mid-nineties). "I never had to fire the gun, but that does not mean you have to use it," said CarrThe aforementioned is what appears in the picture and who does not blow your name only one data point: he became famous for waving a towel on the bench for the Celtics to stir the public (now I dream, right?) And stealing the ball and score the basket for the victory at the Forum in the final match for the title of 1984. Kevin Durant found out yesterday at The Oklahomian the reason for carrying the dorsal '35 ', a number is not widely used in NBA history. I remember Reggie Lewis. The figure refers to Big Durantulla Chucky, Charles Craig, his first coach when I was a teenager, who died on April 30, 2005 in a shootout when he was 35 years. Referring to this age, Durant wanted to pay tribute every time you jump to a basketball court, "to keep his name alive," detail that has lasted since debuting with the University of Texas and now in the Thunders. Thanks, I'm embarrassed when I reread my texts and find some bugs, a question of my stupidity, not to open the web rae 15 windows open at once and writing it late at night. # NBA-game suspension without pay the last ROY Tyreke Evans (Kings) and two to Kenny Hasbrouck (Heat) 1hourago for traffic violations. # Euroleague Milan Gurovic announces his intention to return to the slopes after a season and 35 years removed from the hand of 1hourago Red Star. ..
