How are we number 8 in these power rankings???? Seriously?????

Hate being that guy, but I think Boozer is going to be someone who we miss by the end of the year. He was tough; albeit missed a lot of games, but when he played, he was awesome. Korver...didn't he shoot an NBA record last year as far as percentage goes for 3 pointers? I mean, you can't say he's bad, or wasn't someone we liked or needed on the team. He's good. He'll prob. be really good in CHI with Boozer. Just saying the two we lost can't be overlooked at all. Jefferson is an outstanding pick-up, but I will miss what Boozer and Kyle brought to the table.

Boozer was tough? What planet are you from? He's softer than Dirk for God's sake.
 
So last week we were horrible and the sky is falling and now we are world beaters. Neither is true. Get off the kool-aid. We are still a 2nd tier playoff team. A power ranking of 8 is very fair. May even be high depending upon what Raja has left in the tank.

OK, honest question: what combo would you rather have? Boozer/Korver OR Jefferson/Bell?

That's a tough one. I say Boozer/Korver. And, I thought he was a tough player, yes. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Jefferson/Bell by a mile. I've been begging for some toughness on this team for 3 years now and I finally got my wish. Shoot, I guess dreams really do come true.

Let me explain. Last week, no Jefferson or Bell. This week, Jefferson and Bell. Hence the change in attitude. If we can't get excited about these two moves when the hell are we ever allowed to be excited?

Depends if you are playing a 2 on 2 pick up game or if you are playing regular hoop against the LAL. I pick the Jefferson/Bell becuase I KNOW Boozer/Korver didn't work against the lakers.

Boozer is a great athlete who is arguably worth $15M per year. But not here. Why? In the games against LAL, DEN, DAL in total he averaged notably below his season average in pts and fg%. We saw that struggle with big guys and it shows in the stats. And we have Sap as an identical player (in style) and pretty good in production. When we add a different dimension in AJ - a low post guy who averages above his pts and at his fg% against LAL then we see (with some kool aid) that he could be our answer.

Korver is a good shooter, but I think Raja D is the equivelnt of "best 3pt % in NBA history" as a specialist. BUT his offense is better than KK defense. So it is worth it to have him as another dimension as well.

Guarantee: we are no worse with this line-up. There is a chance we could be better. To have this plan unfold before us for real is worthy of a full punch bowl of kool-aid and livin' it up.
