Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: With Okur's status uncertain, Jazz recall Koufos’

With CJ on the bench, the Jazz win in six games. Trust me.

Good luck, Koufus! Injuries have been a tough break Jazz. I would have had more confidence if the Jazz put it together going into the playoffs. No team in the West would be favored over the Lakers in the first round. I'm just not seeing it, but I welcome some signs of life for a full four quarters in at least one of the first two games in LA. Do you guys got it in you?

Sounds like the Jazz want to spread the stench of failure around.....

Without CJ, Jazz lose in 4. Trust me.

5 points 5 rebounds here comes our savior for the Lakers. I like KK and Fes but if that's who we need to win this series we are in trouble.

We don't match up well with the lakers at all. If you go through the match ups we have an advantage at only one position and that is PG over Fisher. And Fisher does all the little things you wish your 5th or 6th guy would do, and what ours don't do.

Dwill vs Fisher = Advantage Jazz (Big Time)

Miles/Brewer vs Kobe = Advantage Lakers (landslide)

Brewer vs Ariza = Even (Only because LA exposes Brewers lack of a jump shot)

Boozer vs Pau = Advantage Lakers(We need Booz to step up and be the Boozer of playoffs 2 years ago to have a chance here in this series)

Okur vs Bynum = Lakers (With a healthy Okur it might be close, with the Allstar Okur I might even give Utah the advantage, with this years Okur and being injured it has to be LA) Like with Boozer above we need our bigs to match theres to compete.

Bench

Harp_AK_Milsap_BK_Korver vs Odem_VRodmanavic_Brown_walton = Lakers (Odem>Milsap_Vrodmanavic>Korver_Browd&Farmer>Bk

If LA has the 3 best bigs in the series we lose big time.

We need Boozer to be at least one of the 2 best bigs in this series. And Okur has to be better than at least one of their bigs.

Korver can't let V. Rodmanavic be so much better than he has been against us the past two years. VRod has found a way to constantly get open, playing with Kobe and Pau might do this, and he has hit his open shots. Korver has struggled to get open and missed the open shots he's received. This can't happen if the Jazz are going to win.

If Booz can be one of the best 2 Bigs all series, KK match VRod, Dwill outplay fish, and AK hold his own against Odem we might make this a series.

Big challenge ahead for the Jazz. Here's to team Defense and big prayers being answered.

GO JAZZ!

Walking wounded--ending the way it all started. Too bad.

Does recalling Koufos mean he'll get playing time ahead of Fez? No need to call Koufos up if not. It's not like either would get that much playing time, anyway.

Collins would start ahead of either due to his greater experience and Sloan's knowing what he'll get from Collins. Uncertainty equals bench time.

Not sure whether having or missing CJ means anything to the Jazz' success against the Lakers. The kid's too inconsistent to be depended on.

CJ is the only one on the team athletic and quick enough to hang with Kobe. The other problem is AK can't hold his own against Odem. Not even close. Harpring would do a better job on him. Korver can not hold Vrod either. The only way we win is if every player makes an effort to contain their man and not let them go do whatever they want to do. Don't foul Kobe on every shot and keep him off the line. That means, don't let Harpring guard Kobe.

Way to step it up for the playoffs. What a wimp!!

you guys realize Radmonavic was trade to the Bobcats...

Radmanovic was traded mid season to the Bobcats. The match-ups you pose don't even exist. Man to man, the Lakers may have Kobe score, but the Jazz could contain the 3 and that is where they are getting creamed. One player cannot win a game. If Miles is on Kobe, and plays with the same effort the win streak, the Jazz can win. Defense on the interior will make or break this. Man up, Boozer.

Chris Bosh...Chris Bosh....Chris Bosh....is the ANSWER...!
Bosh is a blue collar worker who can give the Jazz that BIG, defensive, man in the middle we so desperately need. He would work well here with Salons, demand for hard-nose ball. He and D-will are tight and he wants out of Toronto....!
D-will & Bosh would be the foundation to build a team around and the foundation that would take us to the promise land....!
Go Jazz!!!!!!

TRADE DWILL FOR STEVE BLAKE! trade carlos boozer for a chesseburger okur for robert swift trade ak miles brewer and korver for iverson! millsap kosta and knight to the knicks for crawford and lee

This is a great move to bring another big man. I believe that the Jazz can now offset some of the advantage the Lakers have in the post. I think Koufus will get more playing time that Fez. He is more active and more of a difference maker. I am calling it now Jazz in 7! And the Jazz will steal one of the first two in LA.

The flash have a chance to win the championship. LEAVE HIM THERE.

My bad I did type VRod. I know he was traded and totally meant Vujacic.

Big Jazz fan in IL....I realize it is highly unlikely that they will win the series but I would love to see them play with some passion and energy for a change.

Lets get a couple...please!

Can Boozer be sent to Orem to work on his D???

Man the Jazz are absolutely terrible and are gonna get worked in this series...

I Agree. Boozer Should be sent to Orem. I'm so much more excited for the offseason than the post season. I think the Jazz should do what the Cavs did and go ask their best player who they should add to their team to make them play better.

Its working for Lebron. Its no secret the Jazz lack Chemistry. Get Dwill some guys that will play for him.

I Love Jerry Sloan. But the game is changing and he needs to adapt. And if he's not willing maybe its time we find someone else.
