We can definitely compete with them better than we ever have.

Jefferson is flat out better against tall/long players than Boozer is. Look at the above picture. Boozer plays 3 inches smaller than he actually is. Jefferson plays really big and isn't intimidated by length at all. Whenever Pau guarded him last night, Al wasn't phased at all. The only time Boozer could score on Pau was on the pick n' pop or if LA missed an assignment. They were NEVER easy buckets. Always jumpshots. This is a huge plus for us. Jefferson also played better D on Pau than Carlos ever has.

In CJ, Hayward, and AK we now have THREE wings who can run the offense, slash to the hoop, and shoot. They all 3 have fairly complete games except for maybe AK's shooting. Our wing rotation is more legit than ever.

With Evans we may have the next Millsap. He will totally take teams by surprise all year long, especially on the glass.

Fes is obviously progressing and while he isn't there yet he has already been making an impact in the preseason. I don't think he's ever put up multiple solid games in a row before this season. He just needs consistent minutes throughout the season -- hopefully coach Sloan doesn't quit playing him once Okur is back. That would be awful.

I'd love for them to either keep Thompson or Nichols. Nichols shooting touch would be nice.

The Jazz get crushed by LA's slashing offense. I don't see that changing with AJ and a lost Fes. You can't take your eyes off the ball and your guy when playing LA. So far this has been an impossible task for Big Crosseyes. Nici-fit Fes has something else on his mind and usually can't find either his man or the ball--let alone both while worrying about ball swinging changing the Jazz defensive posture. He's gonna be nicknamed The Lost Ark before season's end. You read it here first.
 
I think Jazz will benefit in the match-up with a legit backup PG. D-Fish really messes up D-Will at times. I know D-Will has put up big numbers against LA, but it often looks forced. It took a huge 3rd quarter for D-Will to put up anything in one of the games last postseason. I think subbing in Earl Watson will give D-Will a nice rest while not allowing the team on the court to fall apart. A fresh D-Will would be a completely different scenario, and may put Fisher on the bench more than that whiney *** coach of theirs likes. As a side note, I'd love to see Sloan bitch slap that 6'8" NBA defect in the middle of one of his rants. Just rush up in the press release and slap the shitouta him.
 
C'mon regular season.
I cant wait to talk about something that matters, and I'm running out of stupid comments.
