I dont disagree with that, but Big Al is playing like an all star in some games, and he just hurts the team in other games, i dont see any consistency that i would expect from an allstar, anyway i dont think Big Al will be anything better than he is right now or he will play like a superstar in the playoffs, but its better for Favors and especially Kanter to come off the bench this season. Right now things are going ok, it is sensible to consider any possible trades in the off season (especially if we have the 7th draft pick from gsw).
Classic Sepanol backtracking and talking out of both sides of his mouth.
In the offseason Al Jefferson was persona non grata. There was no way he could be a productive starter on a competitive team. He was selfish, fat, stupid, lazy, a man who could not possibly, ever, play help defense. There was no way he could improve on the game we saw from him last year, which of course was awful according to a very confident contingent of Jazz fans.
He (and maybe Sap too) had to go in order to make room for the young blood who were badly in need of being guaranteed starter minutes.
He just COULD NOT get any better right? Guys as old as this fat *** can never learn. Yet here's Sepanol admitting the guy is having some great games. "Playing like and All-Star", in fact. Hmm. Well, the only thing left to do is raise the bar. Now Jefferson sucks because he won't look like a "Superstar" in the playoffs. Oh, yea, also we are right back to July saying that even though he's better than last year he can't possibly show any MORE improvement
Now the weird part of all this is the conclusion that both Favors AND the holy of holies himself, the Big Turkey, probably should be coming off the bench behind this colossal failure of a player. No to mention wrapping all this up in a thin veil of "reasonableness". Things are going all right? How can that be when Al Jefferson is such a terrible anchor on a team? Why should your boy play behind him if there is no possibility of Al improving (more)? How is Corbin instilling this fantastic team defense when the highest paid man is lazy, incompetent, selfish, stupid, etc?
It doesn't add up to you being right about AJ. In fact the opposite is true. Just the other day you accused him of only having one good game. Now he's playing like an All Star some of the time. What's next? Oh, yea. Next it's going to be "don't trust him for the playoffs".
LOL!
