Great article. This year, Deron won't be limping into playoffs without retribution.

“You have to protect Deron,” Jefferson says. “He’s the guy who makes everything go. You have to have some toughness. It’s not a friendly game. You got to stand up for guys because we’re all a family. It’s a team. Somebody messes with your family, you’ve got to stand up for them.”


“I’m excited about this team because we did get tougher,” he says. “I think we’re better than we were and we’re better equipped to challenge the Lakers, to make a deeper run this time. We’re tougher, and we’re better defensively. We have a better chance to win than we’ve had in the past.” - Deron Williams
 
.....you subtract Boozer from any team.....you get tougher! Frankly, Okur is pretty much a wimp, too! I'm not saying we turn NBA basketball into WWF....but box out and play with some defensive intensity! Of course, that's why we drafted Heyward!!!
 
“Everybody can get a little tougher,” Sloan says....But you can’t make anybody be that way. They have to do it themselves. And we need that."

What!?

Sloan can't make a silk purse outta a sow's ear?

Fire his sorry ***. NOW!
 
Thats all nice and well but Stern doesn't allow that anymore. If Al Jeff retaliates against some scrub setting a hard pick Al Jeff will sit without pay for 5 days and be fined $100,000
 
I dont think he is suggesting to start a brawl bro. He is saying you set a hard pick on my boy and the next time you come in the lane get ready to get hit.
 
Toughness is one of the few things this team has lacked. If Big Al can be a stud in the post and bring toughness to the paint, the Jazz will get better. We already know what Raja Bell brings. I'm excited to see what the Jazz can do this year.
