Is this the year...

And we were also playing without the Flying Dutchman, Francisco Elson.

I found this interesting piece about Elson. Now we know why he was signed. Get him in the game with Raja and they can take simultaneously take out Kobe and Gasol.

"Elson gained notoriety during Denver's 2004 playoff series with Minnesota through his physical attempts to contain Kevin Garnett. Elson knocked Garnett into the seats behind the basket with a hard foul early in a game and later in the game was hit in the groin by Garnett. Elson caused controversy when he described Garnett as "gay" for the groin shot. Elson later apologized to the gay and lesbian community for his comments."

We'll probably sweep them.

where was Boozer? I didn't see him cryin in the paint?

He probably went to see Chicago the Musical and broke his finger pushing the elevator button. He will now be out until the Apocalypse.

I'm not sure we can beat the Lakers, but we defend them better with our current team. They used to just run circles around Boozer and Okur.

Putting AK on Odom is the right match up. Putting Millsap or CJ on Artest would be an okay match up for us. Putting Raja on Kobe is probably the best match up there. Plus, Jefferson and Fess don't just get run over by Gasol like Boozer and Okur do.

We need to see what things look like when Bynum is back though. We're still undersized up front.

Nobody answered me in the game thread:
Can Millsap guard Artest?

I think he can. Artest can't bowl over Millsap, and Millsap can get a hand up on Artest's jump shot. Artest trying to go one-on-one off the dribble isn't going to help the Lakers much.

It's clear that after tonight the Jazz will sweep their way to a ring.

Controversy? Apologize? Zup wit dat?

I've had that injury before. It is not an injury you should be making fun of.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Id rather have Sap guard Artest than Odom.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think on a good night, the Lakers still shoot better than we do. They play both ends of the floor. If you remember last year's playoffs, Fisher, Artest and Odom all hit big clutch shots. I'm not sure we can get the same big shots out of Miles, Millsap, Raja, etc. We relied on Boozer and Korver to generate offense, but then they couldn't defend the Lakers.

Kobe reminded all last night that he can still own the Jazz whenever he wants to.
