    of course they do, I'm replying to one right now!

    You know, Mix, usually you pull your troll tactics after losses... but after a big road win? You must be REALLY bored or REALLY lonely tonight.

    20pts/G scores that defend don't grow on trees. Boozer is also a better player than Millsap and Jefferson.

    And if the Jazz really wanted to they could have had Deron/Wes/Boozer/Millsap but they're cheap. Only reason their payroll is high is because of Kirilenko and he'll be gone next year.

    Like Raja Bell? That is who Utah found to replace him and boy did Utah lose out in that "wes matthews"

    I'm pretty sure Utah wished they signed Matthews. Deep down inside I wonder if Wes wished he signed with Utah . . .

    Yeah they don't grow on trees, and as soon as Carlos Boozer starts playing post defense he can join that select club.

    You can say the same thing about Millsap and Jefferson.

    And btw the 20pts/G scorer that can defend was about Wesley, not Boozer.

    Sure, but you're the one making the big deal about how much better he is than either Jefferson or Milsap.

    I said Boozer is better than them. Is their something outrageous about that?

    "Outrageous?" No. But him being marginally better than either guy isn't anything to hang your hat on either.

    All I simply said was he was better than both players. You seem to be hung up on this for some reason.

    "hung up?" No, I just disagree with your general premise and I wrote something to that effect. I think the difference between those three guys is minuscule enough to barely noticeable.

    I agree with RT . . . Williams, Matthews, Boozer (and Milsap) would have been an awesome Utah team and could have challenged the lakers, IMO. Utah could have had that if they were aggressive.

    Interesting that we did not play that well on offense and still won the last three qtr's.

    Boozer started in front of Millsap for a reason. He's a more talented offensive player and a much better rebounder.

    Jefferson isn't nearly as efficient on offense as Boozer is. Not close to the PnR threat Boozer was either. Good rebounder but not nearly as good as since before his injury. Boozer is a better than him in that category as well.

    I'd say the difference between Boozer and the other two is more then "minuscule". He's not "much better"(like you claimed I said), but he is in fact a better player.

    Hey this will make you feel better. "You win."

    I just realized comparing Jazz front-court players of the past and present just isn't holding my attention like I thought it would.
