My take on the season so far

[NUMBERICA]

Al really has expanded his capabilities on offense as far as system-issues are concerned. He's still about the so and test big out there despite his talk of how he 'get nasty'. And it looks like he just HATES running the floor or simply can't do it. Also still not very good at pick-and-roll (which makes a lot of sense considering that he doesn't like contact or running).

But considering his slowly learning how to play basketball better, those might be nit-pickier issues at this point. Nobody's perfect.

Have we ever seen two bigs hugging each other after a shot in the regular season?
Ok, it was just Al, but Sap let him.
They are enjoying playing together, and Al is passing.
If Al had 4 assists last night, he must have passed the ball at least 8 times.

Al has been passing alot more and Millsap is becoming the more dominante offensive threat lately. That jump shot he has is deadly. I wonder what is midrange % is? I'd guess over 50%. This team has each others backs and plays as a unit. They play Jazz basketball.

I'm not saying that he's Karl Malone, but Karl brought a lot of the same things to the floor that Paul does. Paul is tough as nails, rebounds, has a great work ethic, is aggressive, has a sweet stroke, plays good defense, and runs the floor. Like many here, I thought that we should consider trading him, but given the way he's performing, we need to keep him in town for the duration. Paul has a great future ahead of him -- imagine if that jump shot gets even better! And you're right -- these guys ARE playing Jazz basketball.
