^ from Lakers Courtside Connection..i notice Utah runs this a lot with Okur
There are some teams who will roll over when faced with a 3-1 deficit in a series. Obviously the Jazz are not one of those teams. We fully expect the Jazz to come in to Staples Center and play with the urgency that the situation dictates. We must play with more fire. There are still plenty of areas where we can improve our performance in this series. We need to do a better job on the boards. Our screen and roll defense can be better. On the offensive end they started double teaming Kobe a little bit more in game four so we must maintain our spacing and be ready to knock down open shots when we get them. If we bring the correct mental and physical energy tonight and improve in these areas we will be able to close out this series. If not, it will be back to Salt Lake City for game 6 Thursday.
