The Jazz are trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Or trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. This is a mistake. Al Jeff isn't going to transform into anything he hasn't been. What he can do is a be a primary scorer. That's it. Make him that, and the Jazz will be fine. The simple...

Al Jefferson is worthless if he's not the main focus of the offense. He doesn't provide anything other than that capability. Thus, he should be the prime scorer off the bench, not standing around as a starter being basically worthless.

Jefferson is definitely the weakest link thus far. He would be much better suited for the bench. That way, he could play like he did in Minny, with a bunch of crappy players around him and be the focal point of the offense. I would like D-Will/CJ/AK/Millsap/Elson starting with Bell and...

Have you seen Al try to pass lately? I'm not sure if we want more of that.

LOL. Mike D'Antoni is an idiot.

Damn Jefferson's been bad so far.

Wow, I thought for sure that video was from Tim and Eric Awesome Show at first. Rip off much?

It's the Bargnani effect. Whatever PF plays next to him gets inflated rebounding numbers, for obvious reasons. Bosh wouldn't have averaged 10+ a game if it weren't for the Bargs effect. Evans was always a good rebounder to begin with, but now you can expect him to average 13 a game thanks...

The reason I bring up Malone is not simply because you did. It's because I consider that offense to actually be a post-centric offense. I agree that the current Jazz offense certainly can use post production. But that doesn't make it post-centric. The post option is just one option, of many...

The stat of the night for me was Al Jefferson's 11-12 FT shooting performance. Right now he's shooting 81% for the season. This is a career 69% shooter we're talking about here. I really, really hope that Al Jeff put in the work in the offseason to improve his foul shooting due to him...

Deron Williams is the offense 'as the offense' in this current Jazz iteration. In the playoffs, when it counts, Deron's usage rises, while Boozer's stays the same. Not to mention last year in the playoffs, Millsap scored at a higher rate than Boozer with better efficiency. We will miss...

If you think the Jazz ran the same offense through Boozer that they did through Malone, you clearly are delusional. The post-up is the 3rd or 4th option in today's Jazz offense. This is because none of the Jazz big men are facilitators. They can score, but asking on them to be anything like...

Boozer's never done this either. Jazz had multiple 50+ win seasons with Deron Williams as their point guard. They have the same win percentage during these seasons with or without Carlos Boozer. It's not 1996 anymore.

None of Boozer, Millsap, or Jefferson have even a hint of the passing ability or awareness that Malone displayed. Treating Boozer or Jefferson as if they were Malone is insane, and that's why the Jazz haven't done it. Maybe you should go watch some jazz games from the 90's and some Boozer...

AK was primarily injured for the 20 win season. That's why the team dropped from 40 to 20 wins. Get your facts straight. You do realize the Jazz's record has been the same with or without Boozer over the last few years? You do realize the Jazz running a 'post-centric offense' is a load of crap?

Last I remember, most of Boozer's shots were 17 footers, so what's the big deal anyways? Boozer is ambidextrous and certainly has a better post game, but I'd take Millsap in any situation beyond 10 feet. Millsap is a better ball-handler who can attack the rim, and has improved his jump shot to...

AK is built to guard KD. KD isn't too quick for him, and matches his length.

This is by far the best basketball the Jazz have played this year. Shame no one can watch it.

And Jazz have their first lead of the season. 5-4 in game #3. Oh boy.

Jefferson takes a charge! Didn't expect that.
