No
I’d trade Booze, shift Okur to the 4, and start Fesenko.
Unless we could run with Okur somehow… then I’d start AK at the 4.

Or does he have to start?

Bosh is similar to Booze
in that respect, but I still think he’s the better player.
There aren’t many PFs in the league better than Bosh that aren’t on the downside of their career…
by sherbs on Nov 18, 2009 7:44 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
boozer could be one of the best players in the league if he wanted to
i’m serious. he’s more ambidexterous than probably anyone and he has great footwork.
unfortunately, it’s a matter of heart.

Hey, if I could get 8 lay-up attempts
I’d dominate too. Especially against a guy that doesn’t play D.
And I’d have more than 12 points on 8 lay-ups.

Loved...
watching Deron play the two for that little spurt. Even though Maynor took 2 shots that looked like something Bolerjack would have thrown up there, it was really enjoyable watching what a dominate 2 would be like in Sloan’s system.

he should always be 3-shy
he seriously gets hot from behind the line 3 times per year and it seems to make him think he has that kind of range consistently.

That is the biggest deficiency in Boozer's offensive game. He doesn't get to the line hardly at all.

by clarkpojo on Nov 18, 2009 8:07 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
that's cuz he's content to shoot jumpers
excluding tonight….probably since he’s going against bosh
by moni on Nov 18, 2009 8:09 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Another reason why I like Bosh
He may not be the best defensively, but if your man keeps fouling you, it can make a huge difference
by sherbs on Nov 18, 2009 8:09 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Actually, Bosh is taking advantage of his matchup just for tonight.
He is not among the leaders in shots at the rim or shooting free throws. He doesn’t shoot this many free throws usually. But he is having a fantastic season thus far.

Its a team thing. When they get tight and the game gets close, the movement slows down.
And almost everyone starts taking jumpshots. But Boozer’s fadeaway 20 footers are especially disheartening.

2 Observations
1. Probably a good idea to play transition defense / get defensive rebounds.
2. Sloan should assign someone to guard Belinelli.

The next Jazz practice should be 90% box out drills. This is just ridiculous defensive rebounding.

Even with Maynor's improved play, Deron is going to play 42 minutes tonight.
I wish we could find some ways to get him some rest.
Not super important, but Maynor’s play is also going to hurt Deron’s numbers. I would rather win, but Deron needs the stats to get in the all-star game.

Pluses – win, held top offensive team to 91 points, maynor (just going on stats)
Minuses – Seems like it was a lot closer than it should have been given Tor is on the last game of a roady and they’re terrible defensively.

The team defense has been much better the last several games. Basically since the Boston game.
I am going to throw this out there. I think Maynor and Williams are our starting backcourt when we enter the playoffs.
