Utah Jazz


FF

Recommended Posts

with the injury bug reducing the jazz roster to nine ... utah ekes out a road victory over the kings 99-94.

 

significant stat : six of the nine players suiting up for the jazz scored in double figures ( including morris almond with 12 points ) on the way to a 51% fg average .

lovin' how this team is getting it done right now.

they'll only get better once they let Boozer walk away and add a few more complementary pieces.

 

yo gog ! nice havin you here in the boondocks ! clearly millsap's play has made the thought of losing boozer a little easier. and millsap ( 17 points , 11 boards , 7 assists, 1 steal , 3 blocks ) was again the MAN as the jazz ripped the raptors 114-87.

 

significant stat : jazz outboard the raps 52-38.

jazz take easy win over d slumping raptors 114-87. anu b yan tambak.... may twin towers na eh....

 

they actually have "triple towers"...

the problem there is that not one of those guys really plays "big"...all 3 are finesse forwards who play away from contact...

 

 

and hey FF, any news on what the Jazz plan to do with Boozer's expiring deal?

AFAIK ... no ongoing / planned negotiations for contract extensions in the works. kevin o'connor has always played his cards close to his chest. i see boozer playing out his contract and re-signing with the jazz . sloans's bump and grind , power forward oriented offense makes boozer look better than he is and boozer knows this. millsap looks spectacular but his lack of a consistent mid range jumper will be a liability in the playoffs.

 

in today's game ... suns trip jazz 106-104.

 

significant stat : in a close game ... free throws are critical. suns outscore the jazz from the line ... sinking 29-40 while the jazz misfire ... going 19-29.

great points...

 

though part of me feels like Booze will be chasing the $$$ and end up somewhere else.

 

if this happens then it's going to be tough getting a vet willing to 1) move to the boondocks 2) play for old school sloan. if ak is still around ... look for him to slide to the 4 and split time with millsap while the jazz to look for a free agent 3 .

there's always the under-the-radar man Joe Johnson...

though I do feel Motown's got dibs on him.

 

gog ... do you have the feeling that dumars will blow up the team after this season ? the signing of iverson hasn't paid dividends yet though the biggest benefit would be to the team's salary cap when iverson's humongous $ 20 M salary comes off the books by next year.

 

re jj ... the guy's an unrestricted FA in 2010 so is a prime candidate to be traded next year. motown might be a stop but if detroit rebuilds as projected , things won't be as attractive for johnson. looking at the 2009 FAs ... no one stands out as a candidate for the jazz so a trade might be an option for the utah front office.

 

btw boozer and brevin knight might be back soon for the jazz who have now lost over 69 player games ( vs just 24 last year ) due to injuries.

it's a bit hush-hush but just like Phoenix and Dallas, we're rebuilding/retooling.

Dumars will most likely let Iverson and Sheed walk. I just don't see a scenario where we'll get them back for less and on shorter terms.

in all fairness, if things go as planned and Joe D pulls it off, we could return to contender status as soon as he signs a big money FA by 2010.

he's probably hoping that it's gonna be LeBron (fat chance, haha) but Bosh or JJ would do just fine.

 

we do need size and a bit more talent on the frontcourt though so I wouldn't be surprised if we opened the wallet a bit for Paul Millsap next summer...
