Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Power forwards missing in action’

If Boozer and Millsap do not realize what Houston is doing and they are paid not us fans watching on NBA league pass then I have no answer?

Do they watch tape, would you not tape a game of your future opponent see what they might be doing especially without Yao and Mcgrady?

Do fans have better scouting reports than Jerry who I guess is coach, scout all rolled into one...

Nice start for one thing, Jazz will have 2 lottery pics next year, no defense, no heart, no desire...I just hope that there`s going to be some real good players on the draft...

It certainly doesn't help Boozer's confidence that every time he misses any shot, or makes any mistake, the fans rain down "boos" on him. He's one of your own Jazz fans...whether you like him or not...he's wearing your teams uniform!! If your going to boo your own players, then just don't even bother coming to the arena. Find something else more constructive to do. It's embarrassing that our fans aren't supporting there team. A bunch of empty seats, and half of those that are filled, are spending most of there time booing guys on the home team. Nice Jazz fans...really nice. Your lack of support for your team is every bit as disappointing as the teams play on the court. If Boozer is a loser, then so are you guys.

from the PF position. I am not sure what is going on but both DEN and HOU negated the offensive function of the PF position in Sloan's offense. That cripples this team since Jerry does not believe in outside shooting. Well maybe if Okur or DWill are doing the shooting but that is a problem of another kind. HOU is not even tall at PF. Both Boozer and Millsap should have had a hey day.

This team needs a serious remake in it's offensive approach. It's defense has been broken for some time. I sometimes wonder if the Jazz players are making a no confidence statement about Sloan.

Something has to change. The more the front office talks continuity the faster the fan base is heading to the exits.

We are past being mad. We are voting with our wallets, feet and time.

The Jazz as currently constituted are an expensive waste.

I do not think Boozer is the only problem. I have nothing against Boozer. I just want him to play well. He is playing like he is afraid. He has no rim game. He rebounds. He shoots bad jump shots. Rookies can do that.

leg is bothering him and he is not saying anything as it might affect his career and next year's contract?

Hubie mentioned in the DEN game that Boozer lacked the explosiveness that he had before the injury. Boozer was hitting the front rim with his outside shots because he was not elevating enough. Boozer is rebounding.

I do not know what Millsap's excuse is. He plays when he feels like playing. Paul needs to quick sucking his thumb. This team needs him to step up, especially if Boozer can't or won't. Forget about the starter business. It is not important. What is important is that you get and deserve minutes.

So far Millsap is raising plenty of questions about his new contract. The rest of the team is trying, but the Jazz can't beat most teams with a dysfuntional PF, poor defense and poor outside shooting.

Don't worry, they get their money. I sure miss the days of Stockton and horny, they played hard EVERY night. they deserved their money..

The whole team stunk and laid a big egg. If anyone expected a lot more is wrong. Instead of worrying about the knicks pick, they can start worrying about their own. Jazz first team in history to get the first and second picks.

Dwill is a horrible defender and isn't even in the same league as CP3.

Paul who?

Deron was 6 for 20 and the 3 point shooting was terrible. Hard to keep a defense honest when the guards aren't doing anything positive. The smaller Rocket PFs did well because the guards were getting good drives and making 3s. We tried to resolve this by shooting quick jump shots. Dumb.

20 Million of wasted money. Boozer and Millsap are a waste of space right now. Bench them tonight. They are worse than horrible. The money went to Millsap's head and Boozer could care-a-less. His leg is fine, it's his heart that needs an operation.

Boozer looks a lot like he did when he came back from his injury last year. However, he was amazing against the Lakers in the playoffs. I think his knee is okay, hopefully he'll get back in to stride soon.


I don't think Millsap is sucking is thumb. I'm not sure he's worth $10million, but he showed against the Clippers that he has really improved his game. His he is hitting more shots from 15-18 feet out, I'm really excited about this!

Pathetic. These are not the games to lose.

Let see Rome was built in a day.....

Our reciord is similar to the Cavs so lets get busy and toss the baby with the bathwater.

Did anyone see the Lakers lose to the Mavs last week? I still don't believe for a minute the Mavs are the better team.

We have to work out our kinks, we can't do that during preseason playing other teams that are not at full strength or speed or with rookies getting playing time. It has to be done during the 85 game season.

We will be fine, we have quality players who are strong and are smart and will learn to win together
we need to stick with them until they do.

Come on guys cool off, take a breath and remember that we are only 3 games in. I know it looks bad but don't be the type of fans that everyone around the league acuses us of being, we are better fans than that just like we know our team is better than last night. We really need more pro sports in utah because people here really get worked up over 1 game.

One bad game, and the whole team should be gutted? Lets give these guys 10 games before we judge their heart and talents. Actually, I think Houston plays better without their two markee players. Houston was simply too quick for the Jazz, who were unable to take advantage of their size.

You can say all you want about the guy. He is a joke. He isn't anything like he was a few years ago and this proves it. He is terrible. He needs to go back to Miami and stay there. Let's pull a Stephon Marbury to BOOzer. I'd play Fes over Boozer.

Do any fan, even a single person on this message board, really think he knows basketball better than a single Jazz coach or player? Seriously?

Patience is not necessarily a virtue. It's put up or go home. Last year, not the Jazz's best ever, they were 3-0 at this point of the season. Hummm

Are you looked Boozer game balls at 3rd?

worst i`ve ever seen in basketball history, he cant just made one correct pass, put AK at 4 please, dear Jerry!!

Maybe starting slow will be a good thing. In past years the Jazz opened the season looking like world beaters and then fizzled down the stretch. I'm not really hopeful, though. The Jazz play like they have lead in their boots on defense. They certainly were out-quicked and out-hustled last night.
