ALL HAIL BIG AL, ALL HAIL BIG AL.

 

[Weezur]

I thought this was another April Fool's joke.

 

[Jeditiger]

Props to Big Al and **** the haters. Go Jazz!

 

[BaronDavisIsDonkeyOnShrek]

I know I'm one of the few, but I wouldn't mind keeping Al, with a three man rotation of Jefferson, Favors, and Kanter. Millsap is the one that needs to go.

 

[CitizenofCapua]

Im happy for him but i hope he could get that honour before the trade deadline. Maybe it would made things happen.

 

[CAKAR]

WE should keep AL and starting Kanter and AL together, giving Favors 30 minutes of the bench. CHAMPIONCHIP !!!

 

[BaronDavisIsDonkeyOnShrek]

next year's lineup?

Williams / Burke or Carter-Williams
Burks / Foye / Murphy
Hayward / Carroll
Favors / Williams / Evans
Jefferson / Kanter

 

[DutchJazzer]

Hopefully this will make him more coveted., by other teams. making him pricey to keep

Imagine that UTAH offers him MAX ?

 

[DutchJazzer]

ooh yeah and i really thought this was april fools joke.
apparently scoring 79 points on 70 fga while playing 5 minutes of defense = player of the week

 

[Siro]

The news makes me satisfied with a bottom feeder team. Go Jazz!

 

[Weezur]

They should've just given the Western Conference Player of the Week to LeBron.

If you look at what Al has been doing with passing, steals, rotation on defense, and his overall effect on this Jazz teams attitude lately.....
He is light years ahead of where he was when he came to the team.
Yes his FG percentage is still subpar, but I'm happy if he keeps playing like this.
Just less shots.

more shots...

 

[TheSilencer1313]

more shots...

Haha.... come on now man.
Less shots would seriously help Al's game at this point.
Same amount of touches, just less shots.
More passing....

 

[CAKAR]

No one is hating on AL, not even DUTCH

I want to see him dancing around the hoop, hit a bucket and the announcer screaming "BIIIGGGG AAALLL"

 

[TheSilencer1313]

I've never hated on him in the first place yo.....

 

[CAKAR]

I've never hated on him in the first place yo.....

many others did, they were fooled by DUTCHJazzers propaganda against AL. Do you really think that DUTCH is hating on his game ? He has personal reasons with AL. Imagine that AL signs with Portland in the offseason, probably you will see a guy named DUTCHBLAZER signing in one of the Trailblazers Forums immadiately. And he will start hating since day one and continue his crusade against BIG-AL with burning ambition just in another place.
Nobody knows about his motives, we can just speculate about it.

 

[chawx]

more shots...

If Al took every shot in one game, (80 shots per team average) the Jazz would end up with 88 points!

If Millsap took every shot in one game, the Jazz would end up with 105 points!

...yeah, dude, "More shots...."
