Utah Jazz: Players ready for 'real' season

Boozer, Koofus, Price and Harpring were hurt, while battling on the basketball court. Collings and his twin brother were hurt while riding in a golf cart. I hope O'Tool and Sloan are ready for the real season. It's time for some seasoning. And possibly a little re'Tooling. We fanz are ready for an excellent season. D'Will is the leader of this squad, Just like Magic was the leader of the 80's Lakers. We don't have Worthy, Scott, Rambis and Kareem. But we do have Brew, Booz, Memo and Linko.

I hope that all the Jazz players will keep their tools sharp and ready this season. Boozer and Will usually have no problems with it, But I question the condition and/or the content in the Stanford Grads Tool Box. Harpring on the other hand is more like Tim Taylor(Toole Time), Stanley Steele or the Black and Decker guy. He's got his Blue Collar on and not only is his Tool Box full, when he's done with his lunch bucket, he will probably have someone elses lunch as well. What kind of a man would not be ready for the season to start.

Me & Leonard will be ready when the season Starts. See ya at the ESA.

Lets get this party started! GO Jazz.

Peggy is PLUMB ready for this season to start. I think the Jazz will win the west. They will beat the Lackers this year. Odon is not happy with Bynumb back.

I can honestly say I like all our players. They have weaknesses but in general we have alot of talent. I hope Kevin O'Conner can make a move that will allow us to improve and keep our core together for years to come. I don't see how we can pay Boozer what he will want and still keep Kirlinko. So one probably has to go. We must keep Okur, Milsap and Korver and find away to get Miles and Almond some playing time.

at Boozers tattoo. Lot's of symbolism. Very nice.

Williams stated in your article, "I think it's night and day, just because we have pretty much the same team back." "There's not much teaching going on. We know the offense. We're just trying to sharpen things up."

Then Sloan stated, "The objectives are to, hopefully get everybody to understand what we're doing, and hopefully get a better focus on what we need to do."

Now let me see, these are men who are making at least $1,000,000 a year and most are returning from last year. What does it take for everyone to be on the same page and be focused?

They should have learned the page last year. Either the players are really slow to learn or something is really wrong. My guess this year, the Jazz, because they are so slow to learn how to play the game will win 45 games, but out in the first round.

To bad they are not focused or on the same page yet.

These guys are ready to play, and I dnt blame them, let's get the show on the road. Jazz are ready to put the beat down everyday!!

If you want to keep everyone focused in the backcourt at least, keep Gerry McNamara--- if given a chance you will see he hustles and gets results, and that will wake the others up----Sloan should know a winner when he sees one and Gmac has the resume' to support him----otherwise, the Jazz remain flat and end up 4th in the division
