FARMAR'S MARKET
Laker backup point guard just made his first three-pointer, and 2nd shot, of the series. Here's his line thus far:
Game 1: 0-5
Game 2: 1-3
Game 3: 0-6
Game 4: 1-2
Game 5: 1-2 thus far.
**************
The Jazz have already put four different defenders on Kobe: Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko, Kyle Korver and Matt Harpring.

Pau Gasol has 8 points thus far, but needs to go up stronger around the rim. He has yet to dunk.

Earlier today I heard Charles Barkley say that the winner of the Jazz-Lakers series will win the NBA Finals. That sounds like a safe prediction if you believe the Lakers are going to get past Utah. But, watching the Jazz, they really do have enough talent to win it all. It's just that their bigs are inconsistent. That, and someone has to cure Kirilenko of that tapeworm.
By the way, this blog comes to you completely due to the charitable acts of others. My good friend Arash "Guest List" Markazi of SI.com picked me up this afternoon and drove me to the arena. Then, once I arrived, I discovered that my computer was dead, but Laura Lane, who works for the ESPN, was kind enough to lend me the one on which I am writing.
That's two Southern Cal alums rescuing a Domer, too. L.A. is full of surprises.
***********************
Kobe just took a pass on a fast break and, under normal circumstances, would have slammed it home. Instead, with one Utah defender applying desultory pressure, he laid it in. Still, a bucket's a bucket.
At the half Kobe is 4-7 from the field, 4-4 from the line, for 13 points. Only Pau Gasol, with 15, has more for either side.
Lakers up, 61-54.

Latest celeb sighting: David Beckham. Pretty big. How many other jocks have their name in a movie title?

So much inconsistency in the lengths of the rows of asterisks that separate your thoughts. I'm letting it go, but aware of it.
Hey, covered your Notre Dame baseball team Thursday night. Saw Evan Sharpley hit a home run -- he went deep again Friday night. Who, I ask, is the only other ND player to throw a touchdown and hit a home run in the same academic year?
