Despite blowing a 12 point lead in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter, the Utah Jazz took came up big in overtime, managing to knock off the Lakers in game four of the western conference semis and even the series at two games a piece. Bryant logged 33 points and 10 assists for the Lake Show while Deron Williams dropped 33 and 14, respectively.

Editorial: Fuck the Lakers! I’ll root for anyone but, including San Antonio!

Yeah, I know he put up 49 points and 10 assists in Game 2 against the Nuggets. Yeah, I know he’s going to win MVP. But goddamn, couldn’t Kobe Bryant be just a little bit less annoying? Every time he pops his jersey in self-righteous exaltation I cant help but cringe and shout at the television. Can’t we leave the collar-pop tactics to high schoolers? I’m not alone in this sentiment, am I?
