Kobe Bryant’s NBA Defending Champions L.A. Lakers will again play against Deron William’s surging Utah Jazz in two straight years in the Playoffs with Los Angeles emerging as winners each time, one leading to L.A. Lakers winning the plum in 2009.Two teams at full strengths are well matched but both teams have been struggling with recent injuries of players and the Jazz got it more from Mehmet Okur who will be out for at least a year, to Andrei Kirilenko not expected to play until Game 3, and to Deron Williams with elbow injury but is expected to play Game 1 anyway. Laker’s got, too, some minor problem about player injury with Lakers Center Andrew Bynum with small tear in the meniscus in his right knee and is questionable to play Game 1 of Los Angeles Lakers’ second-round playoff opener in their home court against the Jazz.
Both teams have met during the 2009-2010 regular season where the Lakers is victorious for 3 games to Utah Jazz winning just one game. But the Jazz have recently knocked out the Camelo Anthony’s Denver Nuggets in the First Round, winning 4 games in the best of seven games. The Denver Nugget beats the Lakers thrice in a regular season which was eliminated by the Utah Jazz in the First Round Playoff.
Clearly the Lakers’ Big Four (Bryant, Gasul, Artest and Odom) had some slight advantages versus the Jazz. Though the Jazz excelled in some big road games in recent years and winning a first-round playoff series without a homecourt in three of the past four postseason, but it is the Lakers who hold an advantage holding a 14 straight wins over the Jazz at the Staples Center, including three playoff wins in each of the past two seasons.
But the ball is round, both teams are great and have it's chances of winning. It's going to be an exiting match-up. Check us for more NBA.
