Okur isn't useless... he has a lot of talent and skill he just needs to make use of his size more, I always hate bigs who predominantly try to play outside.

Okur is useless I hope they cut his ass. A dominant big guy would be nice but we havent seen a good one since before Ostertag, Kirilenko is a bad ass mofo tho. Boozer and Williams are like the 70 year old version of Malone and Stockton, they are always getting hurt which is a big problem to our momentum. The Jazz have championship material but they got stuffed in 98 by the Bulls (I believe had any other team met the Jazz that year we would have a title) and now they just cant get their act together. I know Sloan is going to quite sooner or later if his title doesnt come around.


Actually Okur fits very well within the Utah system because his 3pt shooting makes up for the lack of such from their wings (Brewer, AK). He's a very good rebounder, isn't afraid to mix it up down low with opposing bigs, and keeps defenses honest. When healthy (which is not uncommon with GP totals of 82, 82, 80 prior to last season where he still only missed 10 games), Okur is one of more efficient Centers in the league (solid %s and very few TOs). The Jazz could do a lot worse.

How are Deron and Booz "always getting hurt"? Deron has played 80, 80, and 82 games in each of the last three seasons. Boozer isn't quite the iron man that Deron is, but he's played 74 and 81 games in the past two seasons. Those are some solid GP totals, especially considering how physical the team plays.

Utah has made a serious splash in the playoffs two seasons in a row, and were playing particularly well last season after they got Korver in the trade. I think I read somewhere that if they had played as well as they did post-trade for an entire season, they would've been on pace to win 60 games or so. That sounds like a championship-caliber team to me. I'm not saying that they will make it to the Finals for sure, but they're a very dangerous team that has experienced some solid success in the past two years despite being a relatively young team.

The thing that is killing Utah is losing on the road. If we can win 500. of the games on the road this year, or close to it, and get home game advantage for the playoffs. Watch out! The first step is making some damn free throws and not fouling so much in return. That killed us last year and has been strongly evident in the preseason games this year.

Your feelings on Okur are understandable, the Jazz are missing that true center. They really need that big presence inside to defend the basket and rebound. Hopefully Koufos can do something decent for them this year because Fesenko was a bust and hasn't improved at all. I am also a little worried about what they are doing with Miles and Kirilenko. If Miles doesn't step up his shooting percentage he needs to just come off the bench. Kirilenko is the man and deserves the starting position. Given, if he doesn't care that he comes off the bench then I am fine with Miles starting, but not if its going to effect Kirilenko. Him not feeling he knows his "role" or "part" in the team like last year.
Hmmm.....??

I'm rooting for so many teams this year, probably cuz of the drafts and where they went. Most teams look like they'll be fun to watch (except Charlotte, just because and Atlanta, they didn't get any new guys but hopefully they can look at the playoffs and get better) I've been reading greg odens a beast, gotta love the heat, celtics are just ballers, lakers you got kobe so you can't hate plus bynums healthy, cavs got lebron and he's a one man army and got mo williams but i still want james to go 30+ a night.

Are you seriously asking what head to head is?

Do you even do fantasy? -_-;

Rotisserie scoring: Lets say you have 9 people in the league. For each category, whoever has the most gets 9 points. Second gets 8 points, etc.

rotisserie is when you are measured against everybody else in terms of scoring categories, while H2H is exactly what it sounds like.

i prefer rotisserie because:
fantasy football is already H2H mostly
it takes more skill and management

i'm ok with it being changed to H2H if that's what everyone else wants though. up to HT
