    Jerry Sloan has changed the starting lineup for todays game against the Timberwolves. Mehmet Okur has taken the starting C spot from Jarron Collins and Raja Bell has taken the starting SG spot from Kirk Snyder.

    Raul Lopez, Andrei Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer are still starters.

    Like this move?

    I think it's a good ove. Okur has been playing great as of lately. Hopefully he can spark the Jazz and they can start winning a lot more. They were doing great until Kirilenko was injured.

    It worked tonight. I like the move of putting Okur in the starting lineup. Okur can play the high-post better than Collins can and with Okur at the high-post; it leaves Boozer down-low. I like the change, maybe we will stay with it for awhile. I just wish we could see GG back into the starting lineup.

    I like this move, and it worked well against Minnesota. Mehmet Okur should have been starting a long time ago, not Curtis Borchardt, Jarron Collins or Aleksandar Radojevic. Raja Bell brings defense, and leadership. He is the captain of the Jazz, along with Matt Hapring.
