He needs to pick it up, especially with Kenyon Martin around. The rebounding battle should be a good one. Prediction The Nuggets should be too much for the struggling Jazz to defeat. However the Jazz should stay close, but just lose direction in the second half. Nuggets by 7
Jazz lose, 97 - 87. Carlos Boozer struggled again, and so did the Jazz. Marcus Camby had a great game, although Memo got a double double himself. Kirilenko's defense isn't at the level it was before the injury, Carmelo scored 25, but his D is getting better game by game. Andre Miller took advantage of the Utah PG situation, which is really letting them down.
I think it is about time to set Boozer and let Hump have a chance to start or move AK to the four and play Harp at the three. Boozer is the only player to start every game this season and I think he needs to get a wake up call, the last few games has not been too well for him. Maybe with sometime on the bench he could think about how he used to play defense.
