Okur steps back, others step up

Jimmy has noticed Memo's play has declined since his wife gave birth last year. Jimmy think's it is time for the Okurs to hire a nanny.

The think that I've noticed about Memo is that if he's not making shots and scoring he is pretty much a liability out there. He seems to be very lazy on the defensive end, slow rotating, doesn't block out on rebounds and usually just watches as people drive by him in the lane. So, here's to hoping he finds the shot soon or else we're just gonna see more and more of Collins.

As a Turkish fan of Jazz, because of Memo, he's still between Turkish and NBA playing system. NBA players think of the table too much and he thinks of the team. If Deron wasn't in the team, with his style he may be the 1st of assists or 2nd of shooter after Boozer. In the game i see, he's mostly waiting for his turn to do the best if the team needs. To me, it's not a surprise if a player misses a shoot with cold hands and maybe with a cooled heart. I say this because i know him how to play when is fired up. Regards.

I agree with Cory that Okur has been a liability since the playoffs. But, forget Collins. I cant think of a bigger waste of 7 feet. Start Millsap at the 4, Boozer at the 5, play small ball, attack the inside, and bury Okur on the pine for awhile till he decides to play again.
