Boozer's knock is his defense, and Big Al is bringing us that, so who do you choose -- a guy who plays only one end of the court, or a guy who plays both. One factor helping us this year though is Elson is a good defender off the bench, something we lacked last year, though we had Fess, whose other liabilities negate his defensive presence.

As is known by now per my posts, I actually still like Boozer and root for him whenever it doesn't have implications for the Jazz. However, no way would I vote yes in this poll. Big Al is more important to us, especially against the team that has knocked us out of the 'offs the last three years.

Yeah, it's going to come back to bite you all in the *** if we lose to the Spurs, Mavs, or Nuggets in the playoffs. Teams we would have beaten in the past with BOOZER. Guess what, two teams are playing better than LA this season in the west, they may not even get the top seed. And we are always the 4/5 seed. Bookmark this post, it's going to be a SAD DAY when we get slapped because we don't have Carlos. My man was money in the playoffs.

Padding your points rebound stats means nothing in the playoffs if you're not helping your team on the defensive side of the ball, if you're missing crucial free throws, settling for nothing but 18 foot jumpers, and generally acting like a pompous *** to teammates ("I'm the starter. Period."). Seeing as we haven't missed a beat since we lost Boozer (better record, better road record, and better defense) I think that shows how empty Carlos' stats are. This is not a new thing: the stats show that we've routinely been a better team with Boozer not on the floor.

I just want to thank you for explaining the choices parenthetically. I was lost for a second.

Huh? I was on the old board for a couple of years at least before the Great Crash, and have been here since the Great Resurrection. I just don't post that much, I guess.
No, I don't, but asking someone in Adelaide if they know someone in Melbourne is like asking someone in Salt Lake City if they know someone in Denver.

I'd rather have the current lazy, subpar Jefferson over a smug, iffy-defending, randomly-yelling Bozzer, especially given that I maintain that Jefferson has the potential to be better than Booze.
