I don't know how Williams can be upset with Big AL after this game.He is the only other player that showed up.

Easy, he doesn't set screens, and when he does, they aren't good. Deron was spoiled with that from Boozer, not to mention Boozer was a much superior finisher.

But Jefferson gets more blocks, so I guess that's the most important thing...

And he's actually on the court.

Boozer doesn't contribute as long as he's in a suit behind the bench, does he?

Honest question, Sloanfeld - what do you think Utah's record would be if Boozer had been Utah's starting PF this season?

I'm going to guess it's not dramatically different than this year's. In fact, I'd say there is a far better chance it's worse due to the odds of him missing more than five games with an injury.

No where in Boozer's career with the Jazz did he show he was capable of making them a better team than what we currently have on the court right now.

So maybe it's time post edited by moderator

Well how does Millsap do with screens? Because we have replaced Boozer with Millsap. Jefferson is the 5.

“We don’t run hard. We don’t run through. We don’t execute. We don’t screen. We don’t know the plays,” Williams said.

Sounds a lot like he could be talking about Jefferson. I think he mainly wants to sit there and just get the ball thrown to him in the post...

sounds like what Millsap said as well

JJ: Playing with Al Jefferson now in the frontcourt. Talk about that dynamic, how it can make you a better team and how that is coming along?

Paul: It's coming along. We still got a lot to work on. He still has a lot to learn in this offense. As of now we're progressing, maybe at the rate we didn't expect at the beginning of the season but it's coming along. Like I said, me and him is a great tandem, you know, we read each other well and it's going to help us out in the long run.
