Reader comments: Utah Jazz: Millsap provides energy in late-game comeback
10 comments | Read story
Dump Sloan. His style of basketball is outdated. The days of banging around and hanging around the post are gone. Young, fleet, athletic players like D-Will are what we need. We need one good big man who has heart. AK took those 3's and buried them in the last two minutes. Where was boozer? Sitting on his rear end on the bench.
Jazz ownership-- wake up and smell how the league has changed. Our style only works so far and no further.
Playoffs are all about matchups and strategy. Lakers had good matchups, using their length to advantage by being able to put Pau on Booz and double/triple with Odom/Bryant to neutralize him when necessary. Good strategy. Sloan needed to come up with an effective counter, and never did in 6 games.
That being said, I love Milsap's energy. You have to be able to bring something off the bench, and there are certain games where he can. He runs the floor better and does play better defense than Booz.
Booz needs to hit the gym and figure out what he needs to do to bring it on the defensive end of the floor.
But I do know sloan has had 20 years to win a championship.
How many more does it take to prove he and his sytem can't get it done?
Yes the Jazz never won a title with Malone and Stockton, but look at their supporting cast. They did not have a deep team until Stockton and Malone were past their prime. Some people just don't know how good they've had it until it's gone.
