Utah Jazz: Fesenko back to showcase with Flash

I am an avid fan of the Jazz. LHM can't sell tickets and gain support for the team if we cannot watch the games. Not all of us older people can go to the games, so TV is the next step. The Jazz are the BEST. Time will tell. Keep it up Sloan.. I"m 73 years ytoung and love what you have done and are doing.

So keep Collins and send Fess to the D League. What an absolute boneheaded move. Sloan deserves to lose all these games. Go Collins! Go kjazz 14! Go Jerry! (to the farm) lol.

@ Jerry Bone

Just in case you hadn't noticed Kosta is getting all of Collins minutes, so if Fes was to stay with the Jazz he would just be riding pine right next to Collins.

Playing in the D-League is a good oportunity for him to use his new found motivation and gain some confidence.

After the D-League ends I think I will be right there with you though. If the Jazz could package up Collins expiring contract with any sort of trade deal they decide to make and clear space for Fes on the roster that would be good by me.

I thought the Jazz needed a big 7'1" defense minded center. He looked good against Yao. I thought we could have used him against the Lakers to keep Gasol and Bynum out of the paint. I think he could help our poor defense in the paint and help us with match ups against alot of N.B.A. centers. Whats wrong with using Koufos at the 4 when Fess is in the game? Use Milsap some at the 3 to keep him on the floor and the rebounds coming in. C.J. is not working out at the 3 because of his lack of rebounding. He's more of a 2 than a 3. Besides Fess is more suited for the N.B.A. The style of play in the D-League is horrible for developing big men. Go figure.

Hope they bring him back for the next game against Yao. It was great to see the frustration on his part, and that he was basically worn out by the end of the game to the point he could hardly run the floor. All of that I attribute to Fess and his staying glued to him throughout the game. That was the reason we won it.

Re: Magnus

Another great call Magnus ... that's exactly what the Jazz should do!
