Locke: Jefferson v. Boozer

I sure hope he's not the same player as he's been his whole career. I'm only happy with the acquisition if the dude gets his **** together. That starts with conditioning and running the floor, and ends with playing in a system and passing.

Having just had an ACL tear, I'm OK with Jefferson running the floor selectively, or even not at all when playing beside Millsap.
 
I thought I read (perhaps hoopshype) online that Al was working in the offseason with one of the Boston trainers who had recently retired from the Celtics. Evidently they had grown a rapport with each other while Al was with the Celtics - to the extent that Al was working out with this ex-trainer in the Rhode Island area (where this guy lives). I hadn't really read anything about Al working out down in the South...
 
I think playing on a winning team will make a big difference in his desire to play defense and run the court. Playing with a guy like DWIll I believe will help both these facets. Also he was coming off a MAJOR injury last year.

From what I hear Big Al has been working his *** off since he arrived in SLC. If we see anything like his 2009 year before injury, he'll be an All Star.

Is there some kind of unwritten rule that every basketball video must include some horrible rap/hip hop song?
 
Article 310, Part 2, Subheading 5.c5, Chapter B7-44, Paragraph 535, Line 3 dictates, "Horrible rap and/or hip hop songs shall be played, regardless of the wishes of the video creator, in any and all basketball videos."

Yes, I am at work. And yes, I am that bored.
 
Boozer really is a face-up, finesse-type PF. Having a post player in Jefferson is going to give the Jazz a completely different look. It should also open things up for Okur, Millsap and AK to be more mobile. This could be a really good thing if Al Jeff can pass occasionally.

Instead he's hanging in Utah gettting second helpings of funeral potatoes and green jello.

And as long as I'm steroetyping...

Hope my comment didn't offend. Southern food is ****ing yummy, and I think just about anyone would have trouble staying thin with it constantly beckoning.
 
Boozer is opening his mouth again.... this time he's indirectly taking a shot at Deron.

Chicago Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer has lofty expectations for his new team this season.

"A championship," he told ESPNChicago.com on Wednesday night after a Nike House of Hoops event. "I think a realistic goal for us is a championship. I think anything shorter than that we're setting ourselves up to be shorter than what we can reach. I think [we have] potential to be a championship-level team."

One of the reasons Boozer feels so confident is due to the fact that he gets to play with the Bulls' 21-year-old All-Star point guard, Derrick Rose.
