First off i would like to respond to the post about Kyle Korver and Matt Harping. This year i can forgive Korver lack of effort which is due to his lack of NBA Playoff experience. He was nervous he had never been on a team that actually had a chacne even when Phili had Iverson. It was his first big NBA Playoff run and he was nervous. As for Harpring there is no excuse he has been in that very situation last year and performed. In my point of view Harpring needs to leave. Retire him, trade him, hell even LET HIM GO. He is whats slowing us down. I mean seriously no team wants someone who screws up five consecutive plays. Now don't get me wrong i like that guy he is getting old and injury has messed his shot at a title up and there is no question about it. Another "Split End" is Andrei. talk about lack of effort then add the fact that he has been babying healed injuries do not help at all. My take, Andrei either stop being a cry baby or go somewhere else. We have the talent to replace him plus we could get someone with better offensive talent. On top of all that he Fouled out in three games against the Lakers. Game one he fould out with horrible stats. Game two he did a little better but again fouled out. Then game three he showed his incredible defense and then fouled out. Now if you dont know what that shows then you shouldnt be watching NBA basketball action. On a different note GO JAZZ and better luck next season. Okay here it is. First off i would like to respond to the post about Kyle Korver and Matt Harping.

Matt is a great football player on the floor, but in this series he hasn't been much of a basketball player. The style of ball that the Lakers play is too fast for him which makes him a liability out there, he's so rushed whenever he shoots a jumper or even a layup that he is missing those shots he usually makes. CJ would be a much better fit for this series. I will however give Harpring props for his attitude and the heart he plays with; which is a lot more than can be said for Boozer. He's a gutless wonder, and heartless too. The guy acts like all he has to do is show up to the game and he'll play well and his team will win; at least thats the demeanor he plays with. When was the last time you saw him dive after a loose ball, or even run after one for that matter? The man just doesn't show that he has that intense desire to win. He has Gasol and Odom guarding him most of the time; two guys he could totally man-handle inside because of his strength over them, but he'd rather shoot jumpers, drive to the hoop and fade away from the rim and avoid the contact, and of course commit stupid fouls by pushing guys in the back rather than putting forth a little extra effort to get position and use his body rather than his hands to create separation..... Very frustrating to watch his game right now. Sloan said it right when he said Carlos has to help himself first, nobody else can go out there and make his shots or defend for him.

He is not playing anywhere near his level and its not because LA is that good against him. He wasn't playing to the level we've come to expect of him end the vry end of the seaon and then during the Rockets season. Don't get me wrong, he's putting up admirable #'s for any player but not for the "throatslasher" fans at Utah. I believe his back is bothering hi more than he is letting on. He really has no "ups at all and therefore even his rebounds have fallen off. I don't know, maybe I'm way out there, but I think that's more to it than him just "crappin" out on the team. Than is not in Booz' character and never will be. Unfortunately, the fans don't see anything other than his "poor" play. One "fan" even went so far to say today on the Salt Lake Tribune Utah Jazz WebSite, Boozer Sucks and Should Be Benched For The Remainder Of The Playoffs. Millsap, should start and they can fill in around him. Boozer has let the team down and doesn't deserve to finish the remainder of the playoffs. Wow, what a difference a year makes Right???????

Okur has great size and can use it on defense, he also shoots "in the moment" better than anyone. Williams is the best point guard on the planet and if you don' t think so watch game two! Boozer is hungry so we need to feed him alot this next game. I think he is his biggest critic. I'm not worried about last game affecting this next game. Kirilenko aka AK47 enough said. Brewer knows he can shoot but he is MOST dangerous when he penetrates of the dribble and just jumps towards the hoop. THATS MY OPINION to all you jazz fans!
