Al Jefferson redemption

[twentytwo]

Big Al made some big shots down the stretch tonight, including a 3-point play. His push shot is the only shot like that in the league-- when Al is on, it is a very high % shot, unblockable, and devastating. Of course Deron and Sap had huge games again tonight but I gotta give props to Big Al-- this probably would have been a L without him.

Go Jazz. 2-0 and the hardest teams behind you. ESPN gushing about Deron Williams makes me happy.

Big Al was playing mad. He knows he should be not be getting outplayed by Fesenko and he's starting to show it. I love it.

Big Al Jefferson was the man. Hit the big shots when it counted. Awesome baby-hooks over Howard in crunch time. Big Al mad, Big Al REAL mad.

Jefferson is clearly a good player. He just needs to adjust to the new system and get in shape.

And Fesenko needs to get minutes EVERY GAME. I'm afraid that once Okur comes back, Fes will go back to being a career bench warmer.

He is who we thought he was, just needed to get used to the jazz.

It didn't take Boozer this long to get used to being with the Jazz....

Fes always seems to come back after is first stint (were he picks up silly fouls and is to hyped up to play), to have a nice game in the second half. If he could play on and even keel he well get min. and help us out.

Jefferson was big tonight. Alot of those shots he made over Howard were with the shot clock about to go off. Glad he showed up tonight after getting the message last night that the way he was playing was not exeptable.

AJ scored 21 on the best defensive center in the league after being benched 24 hours earlier.

I think this guy is gonna be ok

LOL Boozer sat on the Bench for Half a year before he even played long enough to start getting the system. AJ is way ahead of were he was at this point in his Jazz carrier. He's actually on the court

Yeah, it's easy to learn the system when you can study it in street clothes.

Don't think anyone really worries about his offense...that will come. He just doesn't give you enough size and disruption on the defensive end. Now if Jefferson can return to the beastly 23 PPG from before his injury, that may outweigh his deficiencies as a center. Time will tell.
