Where to now for the Jazz?
Awful loss on the weekend highlighted to me that there are two types of players- regular season and playoff types.
Deron is all that and more. What a champion.
Boozer was such a let down, as was Okur.
Both of those players needed to be injected with some guts. They complained all game about the fouls and forgot what they were there to do. They let players like Gasol catch the ball in the spots they love, they never fronted, they never apply preassure, they didn't vary anything to keep Gasol guessing. They just were very weak for a playoff frontcourt.
Now the question is, can they bounce back next year? Can you teach heart? Or is it going to be a time when Utah management need to look seriously at these two guys and make a tough move themselves...
As it stands- that front court will not win a championship. Deron is too good a player to waste.
