Utah Jazz: Banged-up Jazz trying to find some consistency

Get better already you Nancys. Millsap is the only Stockton & Malone era type of guy. Well, I guess you could throw in Brewer, Miles, and Williams(last year especially - we will see what happens for the remainder of this year).

how much longer will you milk you injury. Oh well, stay on the bench where the heartless deserve to be.

This Jazz outfit ticks me off. A bunch of no names masquerading as NBA players. This is criminal to have so many D league players who couldn't make the roster of any other club. I'm fed up with this nonsense. You people watch them. The whole roster makes me want to throw up. Anybody that wants to make the comparison of Malone/Stockton with Boozer/Williams is just crazy. Jerry Sloan is too good a coach to get stuck with these wooshes. This is a doomed franchise....mark my words. They have no defensive concept whatsoever. This is going to be one of their worst seasons ever.

Kings love it when then Jazz come to town!

Do you even watch the Jazz? Apparently Not. And you are very wrong. D will can drive he is stronger. faster and a better scorer than stockton ever was. and D will is 24. Stockton however was a great passer and deron is getting there. Boozer however lacks the defense of Malone. but have you seen his footwork. Come on now! Dont state pointless ignorant facts. Unless you know what you are talking about!

Wow "Ticked Off" you are really living up to the name. I sense a trivial hostility coming from you that found a home directed at a professional sports team. Unless of course you are trying to motivate the Jazz through reverse psychology, which is affable also since I doubt any stray Jazz member that happens to glance at your comment would listen to your rantings. All is well and good though, if you feel better. I know I do.

You all can stay on the bench. My man CJ is logging the minutes while all you whimps stay crippled up. At this pace, CJ will be an All Star by next year. Sloan keep giving him minutes, then trade him to a team that wants to win.

Keep it simple...

I just hope they play Defense and more Defense above all else.Above Stats, Above Ego, Above a Big Paycheck. Out work them. Out hustle them. Out play them. Win just win.

Wow.....Why even follow the Jazz at all? Some of you guys are so pathetic. Yeah, so we've had horrible luck with injuries. It's a physical game where your running and jumping, what do you expect? They do it every day for atleast a few hours. I'm sure they will come back as soon as possible. The Jazz are still one of the better teams in the NBA. And I know we will win our division. Mark my words!!

The Wizards have one win - against the Utah Spazz. How to you like them apples Ute/Jazz fan?

Yeah u guys will win your division, and then lose to the Lakers again. We beat you last year and we didnt even have Bynum on the roster. Boozer can't play against one 7-footer let alone two (Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum)

I hope Kevin Martin is out so we have a chance in Sacramento tonight.

If he is back we will be toast with no AK to even remotely inhibit his shooting.

We need AK and Brevin in the second unit. They are awesome together.

D-Will has two areas he needs to improve on. Not making STUPID turnovers AND start passing the ball when he drives to the hoop. He tries to go for the layup far too often. Especially while he is in this condition he ought to be passing off not crashing into 3 guys for a layup.

Brevin penetrates, draws 2-3 defenders, and then dumps it off to a team mate for a layup or dunk. Deron goes for the layup and gets pounded into the first row. I appreciate his toughness but I do not necessarily think it is the wisest choice.

On multiple D-Will drives/layup attempts the last couple of games I have paused my DVR. Deron has 3 defenders on him at the point of layup AND two team mates standing behind them ready for the dumpoff uncontested layup or dunk but he tries to lay it up instead.

He needs to watch more tape.

Man I can't believe Boozer. He is such a baby. This is going to show the entire NBA what type of player he really is. He has been accident prone his whole career. If O'Connor has a brain he'll let him leave. Millsap is much better. He plays defense and can score. Give Millsap a chance. As far as CJ Miles, anyone can run down the court and shoot. I'll be glad when his contract is up.
This is what we need. If we can afford Chris Bosh I am sold that he can bring Utah a championship. Keep D will, Millsap, Kirilenko, Brewer, Price, and Memo.

At the first opportunity, you need to get in Boozer's face and tell him what you really think. Be sure to let us know when you're going to "Man Up" so we've got time to get there and watch it go down.

...needs to retire, his body is breaking down. Matt is a good guy and I feel sorry for him, he's been through a lot these last couple seasons with illnesses and injuries he's had. I think Denver and Portland will finish ahead of the Jazz in the division, the Jazz could learn a lesson or two from Portland about building an NBA team. Bringing guys like Boozer and Okur on the team who don't give an effort on defense is a formula for failure. I've always liked Chris Bosh too, he would be a step in the right direction. This will be a down year for the Jazz, injury problems and the talent isn't there anyway. Other teams have improved and passed the Jazz by while the Jazz stood still.

"Doubtful" is the perfect word I would use to describe Boozer! First, I'm "Doubtful" he is hurt enough to not play. Wimp. I'm "Doubtful" he even cares about playing for the Jazz in upcoming seasons. I'm "Doubtful" he has learned anything about defense in the past year. I'm "Doubtful" he performs in the playoffs....again. The only "Hope" I have with Boozer is that he plays well enough this year that his stock rises and we can get someone who'll help the Jazz get over the top!

Jazzfan: Why don't we trade for Marbury, he is available. Anyone can run down the court and shoot? There have been some stupid comments on here but yours tops them all. Cj happens to actually score when he shoots. His numbers are as good as Brewer's. But of course you think that Price is the answer too. Knight so outplays him. Price is only here because we were desperate for a backup last year.

Do the Jazz have the Knicks draft pick this year no matter what?

Not one of those Princesses sitting behind the bench has an injury that would keep Stockton, Malone, or Millsap out of a game. Of course Buttercup Boozer does just as much to keep the other team from scoring, sitting behind the bench, as he does when he is on the court. Please Please Please go to Miami Boozer. Your defense is so non-existant you could not get off the bench in the Olympics with your college coach coaching the team. I'm so tired of paying my hard earned money for my seats to watch you coast on defense. I want half my money back. You only play half the game.

Same Jazz - Different Day
