Tough team, Deron has to go up against Jason Kidd, arguably one of the better point guards in the game, they both have similar game, but Kidd has the upside in experience and size. Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson are going to give AK, Miles, Giri, an hell of a game... But ultimately, we have the post advantage, Boozer over Collins, and Memo over Krstic. If we can execute well in the post, and play good D, Jazz by 1.
I'm going to say Jazz by 5 also. Carter will maybe get 20-25 points, Jefferson 15-20, but Booze and Memo are going to control this game.
I think the defense of kirilinko, boozer, and mehmet are going to be too much for the nets. If either vince, kidd, or jefferson have bad games, there chances of winning go way down. i like the jazz's depth too.
Well, with how shitty the Jazz played, I'm surprised the game was even close at the end. Now.... can someone tell me why the hell Boozer sat the entire 4th?
According to Sloan it was because the Nets had a small lineup. Still, Boozer leads the Jazz in both scoring and rebounding, and he just got named western conference player of the week. CJ Miles went scoreless, I wouldn't be surprised to see Giricek starting at shooting guard soon. Utah's next game is Boston on the road, hopefully they can bounce back from this loss.
<div class="quote_poster">Marbire Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Now.... can someone tell me why the hell Boozer sat the entire 4th?</div> I saw that too, he sat Boozer but played Milisap? Made no sense, if they were playing small, why not take advantage and post Boozer up? Giricek should start next game with C.J. Miles not doing much, Giricek likes the new ball I saw in an article. He said that it was more sticky so he was forced to move his non-shooting hand more off of it, so he's shooting more 1 handed he said, Whatever works man
Yeah seriously... it's not like Boozer was playing bad. He sat the entire fourth.... we got within 1, and could have won it........ yet our leading scorer and rebounder is benched? Sloan what the hell were you thinking? And I like CJ, but Giricek has proved to me that he deserves to start. His shooting is on fire.
