Jefferson just is coming around. He might feel less pressure now that Deron isn't around though, and that could be helping. AK, on the other hand, I expect to actually thrive simply because Deron is gone.

Deron damn well wasn't a black hole. That's simply ridiculous. However, when your teammates don't enjoy playing with you, it's going to make team basketball much more difficult. This team has been miserable since December.

I honestly think it might be AK. He looked pretty vocal out there tonight.

On the plus side, Harris and Favors both look quite good out there.

.407 FG% .332 3pt% = CJ's worst year since 06-07

CJ Miles is a homeless man's J.R. Smith at this point. What the hell happened to him? He actually played well last year's playoffs. He's regressed massively since then. His stats are something special, don't think I've ever seen anything like this before: 07-08 .479 FG% .390 3pt%...

One of the theories I've heard tossed around was that Sloan wanted to penalize Deron for not running plays he called during the Chicago game. To which, the management said no, so Sloan finally decided to hell with it all.

Good luck Ty. You're clearly going to need it. And don't play Fes and Elson together ever again.

Well, if the Suns had shot their season average from 3, we would have lost by 25. Which is about how much we should have lost by given the performance tonight.

1) AK came out with fire. After he went down we look like absolute crap. 2) Fes and Elson should never play together. 3) Jefferson with one of the worst games I've ever seen. Horrific on offense, pathetic on defense, no effort or energy whatsoever. 4) Why don't we run the...

Seems to me that Deron didn't directly force out Sloan, but he's sure as hell happy he's gone. Just what I read into that.

I promise I hadn't read the following article before I made my post: https://nba-point-forward.si.com/2011/01/27/sloan-neglects-most-effective-jazz-lineup/#more-4748

Millsap's rebounding decrease is a tough one to explain. A few years back, he went on a very impressive ~15 game double-double streak with Boozer out. He had demonstrated the capability to average double digit rebounds. Either he's stopped caring so much about rebounding after becoming a...

I definitely think the biggest difference in this Jazz team is not the change from Boozer to Jefferson (which is probably a slight net loss), but rather losing Matthews and Korver to pick up Bell (a massive net loss), and Okur being out with injury, and being horrible in his return thus far...

Stephen Curry / Mike Bibby come to mind as other players who have done well for themselves in similar molds

Okur/Jefferson will make Boozer/Okur look good defensively. Their pick n'roll defense is absolutely atrocious. While they do compliment each other on offense, on defense, it will be an absolute train wreck. Millsap/Okur is the superior combo. Both players strengths and weakness actually...

If feral animals killed one of your pets, you'd likely be more sympathetic towards this bill. Mentioning decapitation was probably stupid though, even though it is certainly more humane than say clubbing something to death.

He was a gametime decision last night, he certainly wasn't 100% out there, and he got into foul trouble really stopping him from getting into any kind of rhythm. I think Millsap is the least of our worries, although his fall off on rebounding is concerning.

At the risk of derailing the thread, check out epic brewing and especially the crooked line from I believe Uinta. The Crooked Line is amazing, 10%+ intense beers. The old adage that no good beer is made in Utah is finally dead.
