OhCanada-ParticipantI said "Who wants to bet right now Rose torches Williams. Ill bet all my points lol.".
He ignorantly and defiantly and stubbornly and crazily responded with this bold outrageous comment!!! "I bet not. I bet Will breaks his Ankles (litteraly) and he will be out of the rest of the year haha jk. And the Bulls will lose the game."
WHO’S SIDE ARE YOU ON AND WHY, IM TALLYING UP VOTES!!!

Tongue-Out-Like-23ParticipantI’d say Rose has a good game as well as DWill. I don’t know about completely torching him but then again, the Jazz have no interior defense so DRose might get in the paint a couple of times.
Should be a good game.

OhCanada-ParticipantIts not that Jefferson is a bad interior defender he just lacks a great second effort to finish off defenive plays.

butidonthavemoneyWilliams has had the advantage over the last few seasons. I know Rose has improved a lot and Williams has that messed up wrist (not trying to make excuses here), but I’m gonna give this one to the man with the home-court advantage.
How many times to you think Boozer shouts "AND ONE!" or "GET IN THERE, BALL!"? I’m gonna say seven.

butidonthavemoney2 blocks, but his defense has been below average. Like OhCanada mentioned, he lacks any kind of quality second effort and is flat-footed when attempting to defend more mobile bigs. His bulk doesn’t help him when he gives up too much initial position down-low, and he tends to bite on pump fakes.
His rebounding is also inconsistent, but better than I expected.
Before he joined the Jazz I hated that innocent look he does with the ":o" face and his palms to the ceiling, but now I kind of love him for it.

butidonthavemoneyAt least Boozer was intense. He would scream and I think that kind of pumped everybody up. He was a better rebounder and better at getting steals, but it is nice to have somebody who can block a few shots down low.
Nothing against Hayward and Jefferson but I still think we made a mistake not drafting Cole Aldrich.

butidonthavemoneyWe don’t need points, we need defense. Jefferson is a great scorer, but Aldrich is an intense defender with the potential to be one of the best defenders in the NBA.
Millsap and AK would have picked up the scoring and best of all, we would be running Sloan’s system at full speed. Jefferson is a system stopper. Aldrich wouldn’t need plays called for him, he would have been scoring off of garbage opportunites and D-Will’s penetration.
Jefferson is a good player, but he wasn’t what Utah needed.
Besides, with that cap space we could have kept Korver and Matthew, and had enough left over for any necessary signings.
Aldrich isn’t a better player than Jefferson, but the Jazz would be a better team with Aldrich.

CodySLCParticipantlol i needa go sign up. I was just watching the Jazz pre game show and i could tell he was doing his best to play it off cool. Probably just being professional but it was funny still. He said he, Brewer, and Kover talk about their times together in Utah alot, and he does miss playing here. But he had to do what was best for him. He just got booed pretty good during the starting lineups. Honestly i dont really care that he’s gone i like big Al better.

butidonthavemoneyEven now you can see Jefferson not getting on loose balls, closing out poorly and bobbling rebounds. The Jazz won’t be a championship team without hustle and defense.

butidonthavemoneyYou can tell Williams’ wrist is hurting. He’s an 85% free throw shooter and he missed three in a row going back to his last game.
EDIT: Actually, I’m remembering that wrong. He went 3-6 in his last game, and he’s 1-2 so far today.

CodySLCParticipantYa he’s playing tentatively. I know his shots off but still he needs to be more aggressive going to the rim. And no money i dont wanna break this to you Alrich wouldn’t have been the answer to our center problems. He’s a unathletic 6"11 or 6"10 1/2 big man. He would be a poor mans ostertag after we wait around a few years.

The Ostertag comparison is beyond ignorant.

butidonthavemoney"Sloan wouldve made a player out of Aldrich"
Would he have to? Aldrich was a smart, energetic and tough defender. That is more than enough for Jerry Sloan. It’s not like we would have needed him to create any offense for himself. His best offensive skills were outlet passes and screens. That is perfect for the Utah system.
People see a white player from Kansas with a stupid haircut and they think Greg Ostertag.
Now I remember why I hated Jazz fans so much last June. They would rather have Hassan Whiteside or Luke Babbitt than a player like Cole Aldrich that would come in and put in work.

CodySLCParticipantWe don’t need points, we need defense. Jefferson is a great scorer, but Aldrich is an intense defender with the potential to be one of the best defenders in the NBA.
I guess you forgot not only were we losing Boozers 20 a game. But also Memo’s had a down year last year, and has barely played this year, and before that was a huge part of the offence. Thats why we needed to get big Al’s offencive production.
Oviously we were all wrong about the Jazz’s pick. And i wouldn’t really want any of those players. Im kinda happy with what ive seen from Hayward lately. I was talking about big men in last years draft when everyone, including us thought they would draft big. The Jazz coaching staff took the best player avalible in their eyes. All the players you just named were all brought in for workouts and there is a reason why none of them were picked. They must have seen atleast a little tag in him otherwise why not pick him? Or some other team if they believe could be that dominant on defence?
Can you imagine our team with no Al Jefferson? We would still have Millsap at the 4 but he cant play center at 6"8. So we would have to start who? Elson, Fez, Aldrich? Which of them can score more than 8 or 9 ppg? Should we pray Memo would be back in time for the playoffs and that he would be half the player he was, if he ever comes back. And if we even got in at all.

DanEboyParticipantHere is what I learned in the first half…..
1. Rose can get to the rack any damn time he wants….the speed is lethal. I already knew this but it still amazes me.
2. Deron is clearly hurt.
3. Boozer is non existent on the defensive end.
4. AK 47’s hair is phenomenal.
5. Gordon Hayward has miles to go, he looks lost at the speed of the game.

gregoden08ParticipantAldrich can’t even get ANY playing time on an OKC that lacks depth at the 5. Aldrich is a non existent offensive player and wasn’t rebounding/blocking shots when he did get limited minutes. I’m not very high on him. He also played 3 years at Kansas so he should be more NBA ready.

Oh yeah. I totally forgot about Boozer. #sarcasm
The Jazz system doesn’t need one on one scorers. Players score through the system. If you’ve EVER seen the Jazz play, you should know that. Kirilenko and Millsap are both capable of scoring more and more effienctly.
I don’t care if Aldrich isn’t playing for OKC. That means nothing. He would be a fantastic fit in Utah’s system, and that’s my whole point.

butidonthavemoneyScoring is overrated.
Deron Williams, Wesley Matthews, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Millsap and Jerry Sloan’s system could outscore the opponents if they were playing solid defense.

Like I said, sloan would make Aldrich a beast. Alot of that needs to be credited to the lack of decelopmental skills by Brooks, Aldrich did play spot minutes this year and I think I saw his first minutes on the court when he was very active and threw his wieght around. he should not be in the D-League and on at least 20 other teams in the league he would get 20-mpg and be a helpful player to the rotation. Just needed to shake offthe rookie mistakes and that takes time and in game experience. I bet he starts for OKC next year if they dont pickup anyone else, I think OKC just wants to justify Kristics contract.

CodySLCParticipantI cant believe you guys are really saying you would take Cole Aldrich over Al Jefferson? There the same size pretty much. Yes Aldrich hustles and plays D but thats pretty much all. Jeferson’s better in every way. Are you guys watching this guy play tonight? Boozer has made so many more mistakes on defence than he has. Jefferson is been a beast and will continue being one for some time.

butidonthavemoneyThe Jazz are one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA. Their defense (at least recently) is hardly average.
This game is a great example of how Al Jefferson hurts the team. He’s a good scorer but that doesn’t help the Jazz like you think.

CodySLCParticipantI dont care if his wrist is hurt or not he got out played. D Rose is an animal. I cant believe i lost a bet to a Canadian. You win OhCanada.

DanEboyParticipantThat was a sloppy game. Rose had another awesome game on offense…but…his defense was spectacular tonight.

gregoden08ParticipantHas definetely been inconsistent, but come on he is obviously a much better option than Aldrich. I think the biggest problem with Aldrich is that he just isn’t that big. When he was in college, he looked huge, but I remember in a college match ups where he played against average, but big college centers who could move him around under when posting up. Now, I’m not saying Aldrich can’t develop into a good player, but he hasn’t shown me anything yet to make me even believe this. I thought he was really NBA ready from a rebounding and post defense point of view. He’s shown that he isn’t. Time will tell, though.

CodySLCParticipantWe could do alot worse thats for sure. He’s 13th in rebounding, 9th in blocks shots. Im not sure we can do much better than that. In a perfect world he’d be playing his natural pf position, and we would have a athletic shotblocking/rebounder like a De Andre Jordon or Javeel Mgee type player at center to complete his post game. Or even a center like the old Memo.

OldSkoolBasketballParticipantI know this shouldn’t be that big of deal since they are winning but should Rose really take 26 shots? 29 points on 26 attempts isn’t good but they are winning so I don’t really have a problem with it.
