NBA Playoffs- Utah Jazz at LA Lakers- Who will win on 5/14/2008?

GAME 1: JAZZ 98 @ LAKERS 109
GAME 2: JAZZ 110 @ LAKERS 120
GAME 3: LAKERS 99 @ JAZZ 104
GAME 4: LAKERS 115 @ JAZZ 123 (OT)
Series tied 2-2

A few weeks ago, I proclaimed that an MVP award would signal the redemption of Kobe Bryant. It would also top off a great story: the transformation of a me-first superstar into a mature, team oriented leader who inspired his team to best record in the Western Conference.

….and so it came to pass.

But last Sunday night against the Jazz, Kobe seemed to forget the script of this epic tale of redemption; going it alone in overtime as the Lakers lost 115-123 to tie the playoff series at 2-2.

So will Kobe’s regression to old ways continue and will this lead to defeat in Game 5 against the Jazz? Hubdub puts a Lakers loss at 40%. Disagree? Make your predictions here!
