Jazz's first half pretty inexplicable
At Friday morning's shootaround, L.A. center Pau Gasol was asked if he thought Game 6 would be the most physical of the Laker-Jazz series.
"I don't know if it can get any more physical," he said. "But I guess it could."
Or not.
"I expect their energy level and intensity will be real high," Gasol continued. "Their aggressiveness will be real high."
Or not.
The Jazz saved their worst first-half of the postseason for the most important game. They began without life, failed to execute on offense, didn't play any noticeable defense and fell hopelessly behind Gasol and his teammates.
In the first half, the Jazz shot 33 percent. Memo Okur was 1-for-7. Utah's non-starters were a combined 3-for-13.
The Jazz's lack of purpose was staggering, considering they should have proven to themselves in the first five games of the series that they had the right stuff to beat the Lakers.
Or not.
