Did anyone else feel like that quote from coach Sloan about the fouls was a thinly veiled hint that the plan tonight will be to beat on Kobe?

I hope it was, I really do. Nothing dirty of course, just good hard fouls, nothing wrong with that, right?

I think Sloan's quote was a thinly veiled reference to the fact that a jerry sloan coached team always fouls too much and he isn't going to change now.

The Jazz need to foul him hard, not flagrantly, but hard every time he gets near the hoop. the refs are going to call fouls no matter what even if the Jazz don't lay a finger on him. so take him down hard each time he comes near the bucket. make him pay for each basket. win the game and kobe will be a non-factor the next game. works in the NHL should work in the game of girly ball called the NBA.

Nice Try Phil...But we remember the last time you tried to trick us with Michael Jordan being sick! Dif you think we forgot? Note to Phil: We will never forget that, so stop with your stupid tactics.

Chant over and over: Baby / Kobe / Wimpy / MVP. Oh, and don't forget Baby Pau: Me? What did I do??? I do not understand.

If the Lakers come out with more energy than the Jazz in the first quarter, it won't matter whether Kobe even plays. The Jazz will lose because their heads are on backwards. Kobe or not, the only chance the Jazz have is if Deron knows he needs to speed it up the entire game. We'll see just how much Deron has matured tonight.
