How do you like the new SLCDunk.com? All of the SBNation sites were given a facelift. It's a lot cleaner and fresh. There weren't any major changes, but it's amazing how a fresh coat of paint can give the site a new dynamic.
See Greg Miller, it doesn't take much change to give things a new and improved look.
Lest anyone accuse of me overreacting and point out that it’s only been three games, I must explain that it’s not just been three games, but more like 30 in a continuation of last season.
This sure seems like the same team that fizzled out the last two months of the season.
Scary thought is that the Jazz have a very real chance of going just 1-6 over their next 7. They're in Dallas tonight and have two at home against the Spurs the Kings. Then it's 4 in a row on the east coast. How does 2-8 sound?
What happens if we are 2-8? I don't think most of us have ever seen the team start that badly. Even the 2005 team that won just 26 games started out 7-3. 7-3 for that team? Whoa. Anyway, there could be rioting outside the ESA if it got to that point. Let's hope something gets done before then. Again, let's make sure something doesn't happen and not wait to see what happens.
So who do we need to get? A shooter? A defensive big? A veteran enforcer? Karl Malone?
Some t-shirt ideas that are coming... let me know what you think
- You can't handle the KOOF!
- One of KK
- Buckle Up
- Ninja
- "What do you mean there's no jazz in Utah? We've had Jazz for over 30 years."

1. no iDEA … still haven’t checked it out fully yet
2. I think that we become a very one dimentional team on offense when we have poor floor spacing — so defending interior passes / passing lanes / the inside is a very solid plan. this is not news
8. doing poorly early is a better way to ensure that changes are made — we’re not winning the title this year anyway. roll out the young players
4. a handsome new team doctor who is active on twitter and hates david locke
5. what no “no english good butt love many ladies” t-shirt?

8. i miss the ‘03-’04 team. they had only one above average player (ak) and no big contracts. they lost half their games, but they COMPETED and had fun doing it and were great to watch (in other words, the same as the current rockets team).
4. karl malone at 50 years of age would put boozer to shame, and honestly, boozer has more talent. the way boozer does nothing but take jumpers is how karl played—at age 40. we need a veteran enforcer who doesn’t give a crap about egos and politics and gets in people’s faces. does that guy exist?

I'll admit...
I was in the Boozer camp in the offseason only because I felt that he had NO CHOICE but to perform at an elite level if he wanted to get paid after this season. I was one who said that we shouldn’t trade Booze unless we could get equal value back. I still think that way, except equal value for Boozer has now become dramatically less than what it used to be.
I’m defecting over to the other side. Trade Boozer! Don’t wait til February. Do it now. While you’re at it, dump KOC. This team is going downhill fast. Bucher said it best on Twitter when he said that D-Will and CP3 are united again in the fact that they don’t have any talent around them to utilize their skills. D-Will is forcing unnecessary shots. But that’s because he’s getting NO help. Trade Boozer for a ham sandwich (equal value) and fire KOC. O’Connor has done nothing except for drafting D-Will and loaded this team up with bad contracts.
Sorry for ranting, but that performance last night was just about all I could handle. People will say it’s only three games in, but Moni’s right. This isn’t three games in, it’s a continuation of the craptastic play we saw at the end of last season.
