justalars: we’re finicky fans here in ooo-tah for whatever reasons. it would take karl malone like numbers out of boozer or a contract extentsion. and for AK, i have no idea what it would take; maybe he would have to walk on water to prove his worth to those who sleep under rocks…

I’m just wondering if Booz averages close to 30 pts. and 12 reb. and AK gets close to 18 pts. and does the other things he does while D-will is out. (could be only 1-2 games and if so this question is null and void) Will people (Jazz Fans) get off their backs about trading them? I have my doubts.

Sprained ankles are unfortunately a regular part of basketball, as I was so forcefully reminded this summer. Deron will be fine, the break will probably give him some great perspective, and help him to come back even better than he would have. IMHO

I know, I know. I was totally overreacting here (barring two weeks doesn’t turn into significantly more time), but I feel better now that I got it all out of my system. It will be interesting to see how the team functions without Deron for those first few games, but I have confidence they can make something happen.

I’m with Jared…we have nothing to fear but fear itself. We have a complete team and with Deron at the helm a really, truly, exceptional team. I want the Jazz to come out and play with that chip on their shoulder, the one that says that no one gives us a chance without Deron. He’s a key to winning it all but a few games without him could be a good chance for the other Jazz players to say…hey we are good even without Deron…he just makes us that much better. Jazz will kill Denver at home! They won’t let us down!

ahh, yes, I myself offered a prayer to the basketball gods in my previous article and it was not answered . Hopefully Deron will only miss one or two games, but it will still be devistating to watch the eagerly anticipated opening night without him in the lineup. Time for Ronnie P to step it up a bit, and an opportunity for Brevin to be thrown into the fire faster than was anticipated.

relax, the only thing we as jazz fans have to fear, is fear itself.
