I would rather see Brewers defense and his ability to put back shots in the fourth quarter than Korvers missed threes that he shoots when he has a hand in his face and no one in a position to get the offensive rebound. I know the national media says he can not shoot but he hits his open shots when Kobe and others sag off of him. Bring Korver back in when we have the lead and the other team starts fouling us to extend the game not the other way around.

Boozer had it right after game 4. "Kobe looks fine when the ball's in his hands!" Update: "Kobe looks lost when his man has the ball!" So do we amend his crown to 'Most valuable offensive player' for this game? Oh wait - that was Deron.

As long the jazz have a shooting guard who can't shoot, the other teams will take advantage of it,

The can sag off and guard the passing lanes and the middle

He may be okay defensively, but has other critical liabilities.

More importantly NO TEAM has won a championship that didn't have star shooting guard who could shoot the three. (and a backup who could also shoot)
