There Is No Jazz In Utah
Mamba over Utah: 120-110
Kobe took possession of the MVP on Wednesday night, and he may not give it back until they pull it from his cold, dead fingers. In actuality he probably will never win another one, for the same reason that it took this long for him to win this one; that reason being that Kobe could win it every year. What’s the difference between Kobe and everyone else? Experts give reasons why Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett should win the MVP, they have to give reasons why Kobe shouldn’t win the MVP. 34 points, 8 rebounds for Kobe in the win over the Jazz, giving the Lakers a 2-0 lead going back to Utah.
Superman over Pistons: 111-86
As impressive as the Pistons looked in the first two games, let’s be blunt; they got their butts handed to them by the Magic. But, worse than the game three loss, could be the possible loss of “Mr. Big Shot” Chauncey Billups with a leg injury. Billups is expected to play, but how good a shape that he will be in, remains to be seen. Rashard Lewis must have borrowed Dwight Howard’s cape, as Mr. Lewis scored 33 points and gave Orlando some much-needed confidence leading into Game Four.
