Thanks for the memories.

Take a couple of wins away from the Utah Jazz and give them to the Golden State Warriors and the Jazz end up with two lottery picks in a deep 2012 draft class. Instead, they shocked even themselves by qualifying for the playoffs, where they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round.

Here is the portion of the article that tells me that they saw the numbers for the Jazz but probably didn't actually watch the Jazz:

Top Defensive Player: This superlative also belongs to Al Jefferson. Jefferson leads the team in defensive rebounds (7.4) and blocks (1.66). He rates as one of the top low-post defenders in the league, never requiring help. He was the anchor behind a Jazz defense that ranked top-10 in points allowed last season. Derrick Favors warrants mention here, though, because he has the potential to be even better than Jefferson on the defensive end.

Yea, please watch more of the Jazz before you put together a season preview.

Yea, it is funny to see that others have a perspective that many of us fought for around here. How different would this team look with 2 top 14 picks?

That was journalistic fraud.

That was journalistic fraud.

Make sure that you comment at the bottom of the article. I actually like Hoopsworld for an all NBA perspective but they really don't know much about the Jazz at all. They have plenty of team beat writers (including one for the Raptors?) but the Jazz are an afterthought for them.

I hope everyone saw my comment on the article.

Hahahahaha!

All the comments at the bottom of the article end up referring to Jefferson as a liability on defense.

This is just sad. this is a tribute to stupidity and ignorance.the guy who wrote this should get fired or suspended for a little while.

I laughed so hard when I read the defensive part. a top low post defender and never requireing help??? Give me a break. He is the Jazz's biggest liability on defense.

So you guys destroy any chances of the Jazz getting the better end of a trade involving Al. Good job.

no, it's true... jefferson doesn't need help in his low post defense. nobody has to HELP him watch his man go right around him laterally and score with ease.
