What to do?

To Booze, or not to Booze, that is the question.  Although I think that Boozer doesn't show the toughness that a starting 4 needs to, and I mean on both ends of the court, I believe they should resign him.  I heard a proposal that sounded good to me.  AK starting 3 and back up 4 getting 30-36 minutes a night, Boozer starting 4 and Memo at the 5.  My only hesitation is Memo.  I just think the Jazz need some interior size.  The problem with getting rid of Memo is spacing.  With Boozer down low on the block, where would the big defensive center be?  Who would the other team have to guard?  The Lakers proved to me and most observant Jazz fans that Ronnie Brewer, though athletic and talented, can not be a proven shooting guard in the league.  With him on the court, who would create the space necessary for Boozer to work in the middle?  So, if Memo leaves the Jazz MUST get a shooting guard who can shoot.  Stretch the defense.  Who do the Jazz need?  I can't answer that question but if they do trade Memo for a defensive center, they have to trade Miles/Corver/Brewer for a slashing and shooting veteran who can tell the Jazz players to shut up and play when they start boobing about whatever they boob about.  I would like Rip Hamilton or Josh Smith from Atlanta, just, I'm not sure how to work that deal out.  But I do know the defensive center I would want.  Chris Kaman from the Clippers.  He is a 7 footer who actually LIKES to be under the basket, but he is not a skilled offensive player so it would leave room for Boozer underneath.  But would require a good shooter/slasher outside to not create a cluster #^$% in the paint.  Kevin O'Conner has done a great job to create a good team and I think that after he reads this, he'll take my advice and pull the trigger on a Kaman deal.

on a better note.

The NFL draft was today!!!  The Seattle Seahawks now have the best Linebacker core in the NFL.  Lofa Tatupu is a great middle LB, Leroy Hill was great last year and Aaron Curry from Wake Forest was picked fourth by them today.  The best LB core in the game!!!  Also, I will be watching the Ravens and the Dolphins this year, Paul Kruger will most likely play outside LB with the ravens in the 3-4.  Shaun Smith was picked by the Dolphins.  But where are the Cougars?  Um...GO UTES

How the...

Ok, I'll be the first to tell you that Kobe Bryant is over-rated.  I do not think he is, or has ever been, the best player in the NBA.  When he won his 3 NBA championships, Shaq was the better player on his own team.  Before Shaq, even with Kobe, the Lakers were a mediocre team.  After Shaq, they were just as bad if not worse.  He is a selfish head case.  I can go on and on about how much MJ and Labron was and is better all-around players.  With that said, I have NEVER, I do mean never, seen such a display of cold blooded disassembling of the Utah Jazz as I witnessed tonight.  Michael Jordan had his share of his great moments and games against the Jazz (fouling of Malone on one end, pushing off of Russell on the other, did I mention I was a little bias).  But I mean c'mon.  Tonight was stupid ridiculous.  Kobe Bryant was absurd tonight.  Every shot was contested.  Kudos to Ronnie Brewer, AK47, and even Darron Williams, but mostly Brewer for the great defense on him.  What can you do?  The man was on a mission tonight.  His numbers do not matter, his defense (which was great) doesn't matter.  He destroyed the Jazz emotionally tonight.  Again, what more can you do than perfect defense?  Sloan says he hates to double team players like Kobe because it leaves so much open for a team like the Lakers because they are so talented everywhere else.  Kobe made shots he was doubled on.  And they were good doubles, not the crappy little thing that Boozer usually does, but actual great double teams.  The Jazz did not play like they did on Thursday, they didnt help out on other players like they did than.  Also, I think Memo hurt the team by coming back, yah he spread the floor, but to what end?  He took three shots and missed them all.  Also, I only saw heart and determination from four players in the second half, DWill, Brewer, Corver and even Boozer.  Yet, you will rarely here me say anything positive about Kobe Bryant and it pains me to do so now.  I'll tell you what, the announcer on for ESPN said it best, "Ronnie Brewer deserved better tonight."  The man was on a mission and he completed that mission.  I am pissed about the outcome because I HATE Kobe and the Lakers.  However, I feel blessed I was able to watch this game by a true master.  Even more than the games I watched with MJ vs. the Jazz, which I mostly hate.  This game was awe inspiring and unbelievable.  Wow.

I think they found the answer.

Just one thing, do you think this will fix everything?
