What a difference a starter makes.



8-14 from the field
4-8 from 3pt
5 assists
and only 1 TO
But what he really brought was the fact that Utah could no longer double and triple team Tracy all game long. So, Tracy finally made a shot in the 4th q.
I guess I was way off on the home team winning every game.
Did yall see that fan get kicked out? Thats the first time I've ever seen that.

i thought it was a sound prediction, given utah's home/road record and the assumption rafer would be starting.
hou can't get a break this year.
whaddya gonna do?

Yea, injuries are a bitch. However, without them, we may never have seen Landry...and he was huge last night.

First, he got hit in the face by Boozer, knocking out his front tooth and breaking his nose, only to come back in the second half and get 7 offensive rebounds and the block on Daron that sealed the game.

Tom, you would appreciate that block, cause not only did he block the shot, but he jumped out of bounds and saved the ball to Scola.

yeah, i watched that whole game-except a brief nap ion the 2nd period. Landry was awesome.

They jsut gave that fan a warning, they let him back in shortly after. He was wearing a t-shirt after that that said someting like "true fan." Barkely remembered that guy from his playing years, said he used to try and shake the basket. lol. He i a "respected eye surgeon." That guy is so not performing eye surgery on me.

Did his nose break? i thought he said he thought is was broken at first.

I was daydreaming, and wondering if there was ever a 7 game series were the away team won every game.

Patrick said...

Yea, you're right about all that.

I've never heard of a team winning all road games.

Patrick said...

I know noone with home court advantage has won all on the road, cause there's only been 3 teams to come back from 2-0, and none of them did it.

So, it would have had to have been a lower seeded team.

By the way, i found this awesome website.

That website's awesome; I go there all the time. I'm pretty sure I posted it a long time ago at some point (minus the /playoffs directory). Anyone know if there's a way to search 'comments' too? I think the search field only checks new posts.

One point of clarity that I think you meant to make. No team with home court has won only on the road? That would be impossible anyhow as you need 4 games to win a series & with home court you only play 3 away.

Otherwise the 2001-02 Lakers won every road game they played. They never had to play more than 2 though until the finals (in which they played, and won, all 3).

I just re-read it. Maybe your saying no team down 0-2 has won all remaining road games. Anyhow, cheap lakers plug either way.

All i am saying is "if there was ever a 7 game series were the away team won every game."

7 games, 7 aways teams. Yes, it is only possible if the lower seeded team wins.

jeremy said...

Ahhh... must've missed that the first time.

dullstone said...

Hells yeah! Only one game away from a game 7. Maybe they'll televise it.

Mucho respeto.
