I've thought about this a lot since I like LeBron. Paul Silas offended Boozer by telling him he was a limited player who would never amount to very much. Getting away from Silas was one reason he was anxious to leave Cleveland. But Boozer's first two seasons in Utah can be considered bust years because of the injuries. He has still has to prove his durability. As far as having a "go to" guy, the Jazz can develop that over the 82 game season.
What's all this love for the j*zz? This is the John Flopton and Karla Malone j*zz bombs were talking about... Come to your senses Rocket fans and bring the hate.
Utah is like Phoenix Suns last last year...complete surprise and will go to at least 2nd round of the playoffs. Book it.
Oh my, freaking Utah is good. What a game. I really would like to see them play the Spurs. A good team wins games like this. Boozer is a beast, better than Malone ever was ( ) They have got ton of offense and good defense.
While the rockets lost big leads in the 4th quarter, the Jazz came back from behind again and again to beat another quality team... Guess that is the difference between good team and average team..... Boozer, is a beast right now but i dont think it is a suprise. He averaged 20/10 in his second season with cavs, only his durability is a question now!
I get the impression that the fans here appreciate the way the j*zz are playing and winning ballgames. The good news is they can't play any better than now while the Rockets have several gears before they become unstoppable.
jazz just beat the lakers.. Boozer looks like the real deal. i keep see him getting 30 pts and like 15 rebs with a high FG% .. WTF!! playing like that he is going to be MVP
Sorry! My bad, he averaged 15/11 in his second season I am a rockets fan but i m also a basketball fan and i enjoy watch good basketball! To me, i dont hate teams like Jazz, Mavs etc, maybe because i m not houstonian! I only hate Amare and Kobe because of their arrogant and cockiness
The Jazz are good this season, no doubt. How good? Time will tell. They played through Kirilenko's injury like it was nothing, in fact he's pretty useless to them at this point it would seem like. The 3 big guns on that team are Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, and Mehmet Okur in that order. The big thing about them is that they are balanced. That's what makes them dangerous. They have no superstars except maybe Boozer (and he's not one yet) but they have a lot of quality players. The explosion of Deron Williams has been a huge upside for them. If they keep it going, they'll look Detriot-esque with a balanced team and maybe even Spurs-esque with a great PF. Carlos Boozer will never be Tim Duncan though and I doubt the Jazz are balanced (experienced) enough to win it all. Despite the Jazz's record, the Spurs are still the team to beat in the West, Dallas got all too lucky last season especially with Duncan and his injury. They are going to be good unless something happens to Boozer. I can't wait till they play the Spurs, that will be a damn good game. Still, doesn't change the fact the Jazz are fruitcakes and the Spurs aren't too cool either.
Boozer is shooting 60% and everytime i see his boxscore its like 35/10... Man hes good. MVP my vote goes to him.
The Jazz are the exact opposite of the Rockets, Jazz are down in the 4th quarter rally late and win the game. Rockets are up in the 4th quarter, play bad defense other team comes back to win/almost win.
I watched the game last night wow, the Utah Jazz are playing the best basketball right now, no doubt about that.... If they continue like this and stay injury free they will make the finals
They are playing great right now but you don't win championships in November. See the Pistons last season.
Boozer with only 4 points but 7 rebs at halftime. Looks like AK47 and deron are taking most of the shots. With the way he's been playing lately, they should have made him the focal point of the offense to see if he can handle it. He only took 5 shots by halftime. Very interested to see how this team develops.
Utah got spanked and brought back down to earth. Boozer with 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting and no FT....old Nellie must have done his homework.
bwahahahahaha!! Kirilinko comes right back, shoots 2-11, and the Jazz get whacked. He's already looking over his shoulder. Somebody on that team is getting traded before the season is over. I've heard a couple of people use the nickname "Andrei Pipp" over at the Jazz message board...
