Utah Jazz

Oh the Utah Jazz! I wish I could watch the season more then I did this year, but to see them finish out the season the way they did was just heart breaking. No one likes to see their team get swiped, and to the Lakers (oh!! I hate the Lakers) makes it even worse. To have it happen the last three years is not cool at all. It was tough to see them play so bad at home in the playoffs. Spencer, Allie and I watched the game and saw no urgency, no drive, no energy out of some of the players. Boozer was a total Loser! I mean he was useless to the Jazz and they kept him in the game. Deron Williams cant do it all himself, even how hard he tries too. I was impressed with C.J. Miles, Millsap who seemed to want to win. Don't get me wrong Williams really tried but I think ran out of steam and patients by the end of the game.

Now with the Jazz waiting for the Free Agency season to begin, here is what I think they need to do to improve their team. First off, let Boozer go! Yes, he is good in the season but falters toward the end of the season and playoffs. The Jazz need a taller, speeder power forward. Boozer is all about money and for the Jazz it would be a waste. As for Korver, he is a good shooter but really nothing more. Let him go too. The Jazz need more defensive players then offensive. Miles is coming into a shooting guard and can take that place. I like Korver and I know he has had injury but I think its time to part ways. As for Wesley Matthews, get him a Contract! Any person who can not be drafted, get a shot and become a starter- needs a good contract. He is awesome!

For the Draft and Free Agency, they need to get a Big man who likes the lane and a Power forward who likes to get dirty and physical. Okur is a good big man but needs to play down low and not outside, Fesenko, "Fes" is still coming into his own and this year helped but he is not there yet. Millsap is great just undersized for big men, and Koufos still needs times to grow. AK is good and always a great 6 man. The Jazz need to look for height, power and speed, someone with heart too. If they don't get that in the next couple of years- D will is out of Utah!! That is not good!

All in all the Jazz are getting to be a power house like the Jazz of old. They just need a little more height, and speed to keep up and be a huge factor. I think they will be just fine in the future. I just hope they don't draft a point guard or shooting guard like usual. Think smart this year Kevin O'Connor. Think smart!! Find a player like Matt Harper who was a team player, a hard and get dirty kind of player, a player that got into others heads. That is what the Jazz need, maybe Matt could help find a player like him. Go Jazz! Let's make next season a better run at the finals.
