7 Reasons the Jazz Need to Keep Boozer

First of all, I am still sad about scrabulous. Wordscraper isn’t fun. I am glad you are enjoying the articles. We will see if you still agree tomorrow when I write why we should trade Boozer. I am in town starting Friday. We should get together. Catch you later.

Sounds like you have a couple new top 7 list ideas.

But I like to write and this is a great forum for doing what I secretly love, writing about and analyzing sports. I mostly write them during my leadership class, which is super boring. But don’t worry, I will stick with my studies as well.

You didn’t even hear me out? I thought I came up with some pretty good reasons for keeping him around. You have to at least imagine what the team would be like without him. But stick around, cuz you might really like the one on why to trade Boozer.

It is so hard to convey sarcasm in writing. I tried to lay it on so thick.

My reason for trading him has nothing to do with that… it has to do with him being a snake. I figure he’s going to be gone so you might as well get something for him now. I don’t trust a word Booze says. Boozer should’ve been two-face in The Dark Knight.

I don’t think in any of the close games that the Jazz had last year, they went to Booze in the final minutes. Deron always has the ball and almost always takes the last shot. Maybe that’s because I have Deron blinders on.

Sloan trusts Deron wholeheartedly. He hasn’t given this much control to one player since Stockton.

And as far as Boozer goes, we ride him this season and hope he stays consistent in the playoffs. If he played just decent ball in the Lakers series, it might have gone our way. A lot of people were down on Wade last year, but he’s reminded everyone what he can do. We don’t win a title without Boozer this year.

I agree with your point about having ice water in his veins. I don’t know if he’ll ever match Deron’s mentality, but I would like to see him get a little more mean in him. We brought Horny in to fix AK’s shot. Maybe they should bring in Malone to show Boozer how to knock someone on their can. He’s too finesse sometimes. He’s said he doesn’t like contact on the offensive end. He’d rather go around the defender and get the bucket than to punish someone for getting in his way.

There was a game in Memphis last year where he put Mike Miller on his back. Obviously he can’t do that every time, but if he’s going to get a foul, then make sure it’s a foul. I think a lot of people aren’t intimidated by him because he just slaps at their arms as they go by. He’s got to let them know that if they come inside, they’re going to have to earn it.

Anyway, Deron will improve his game even more and hopefully Boozer will be along for the ride on the D-Train (is that name taken?).

But the Heat won the championship due to two words: questionable officiating
