When did the Jazz become a bunch of wussies
 
If a guy wants to go in the paint to try to score, put their ass on the ground. I'm tired of this Jazz team letting teams score easily in the paint. Foul them, foul them hard. Make them earn it. McGrady is going up and someone let him just dunk it, why not make him feel some pain by putting him on the ground. You do that and he thinks twice about going in the paint.

This is what will keep the Jazz from being great. We need an enforcer.

Carlos Boozer and Memo may be very talented offensively, but they are part of imo the worst defensive frontcourt in the NBA, and that is including AK.

Araujo would have been a good enforcer, but he was never fully utilized in that role.

I agree completely. The SGs in the league should be fearing playing the Jazz. They should be bruised and in pain after every game with the Jazz, unfortunately instead they all are circling the games against the Jazz. The Jazz need an Antoine Carr on this team.

Cheer up, Manic street preachers.

The Jazz will be able to tune up their D when they scrimmage against the Lakers this Sunday. They should also get plenty of time to fine tune their O.

We had tickets to the game tonight. It was a fun atmosphere, but that was a pretty lousy effort by the Jazz.

McGrady was incredible. That was quite the performance.

Is he still in the NBA?

Maybe they don't want to pay fines and take pay cuts for suspensions, not to mention beign pariah in the league.

I hear Charles Oakley wants back in the league...there's an enforcer for you.

He's playing somewhere in Europe. I think Russia.
