Lakers - Jazz

[Reality]

Bottom line can Utah win 2 games at Staples? 
Answer:  No.

Andrew Byns out could be a blow to LAL, but i think Lamar Kardashian is going to rise to the occasion.
The Lakers prayer finish vs OKC helped them to get needed rest.
I see Utah putting up a good fight but failing on the road, as usual.

Why would Utah need to win TWO games at Staples?

But Utah's not taking down the Lakers.  Not without Okur, not without Kirilenko, and then, I saw that they were talking about Williams being a game-time decision for Game 1.  If Williams isn't 100%, we stand absolutely ZERO chance.

Joe i was simply speculating that the Jazz were going to win at best 2 of 3 at Utah, hence the need to win 2 of 4 at ABC-Staples Center.
Obviously technically Utah only HAS to win one game at Staples.

And now after tonights loss and down 0-2 we know no way are they gonna rattle off 4 of 5 with the injuries.
