HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – If we didn’t know better and hadn’t looked at the
standings, we’d think the Utah Jazz had a one way ticket to the draft lottery
 this season.

The doomsday talk surrounding the Jazz these days is a bit overboard for a team
 that has struggled recently but is certainly still a factor in the Western
Conference at 24-12.

But if you listen to the Jazz or their many faithful, we’re seeing the first
signs of the demise of a longstanding league power (we do not agree). The Jazz
, 9-7 in their last 16 games with just one win over a team .500 or better
during that span, certainly sound like a team unsure of themselves.

After the Hawks fattened their lips Wednesday night, smoking the Jazz by 23
points at EnergySolutions Arena, Jazz All-Star and captain Deron Williams
sounded the alarm to the Salt Lake Tribune:

“Obviously we’re struggling, then,” said Williams, when asked about Utah’
s mark against winning clubs. “We’re not beating the caliber of teams that
we’re going to be playing in the playoffs — if we get to the playoffs.”

If we get to the playoffs?

Now you see what I mean. Is it time to maybe rethink our summer predictions
of the Jazz being a contender in the Western Conference? Well, maybe. They
have had to deal with an assortment of injury issues and we might have
underestimated the severity of all the personnel they lost from last season
and overestimated the addition of Al Jefferson.

But they are still a playoff team.

Do they have issues? Absolutely. But what team doesn’t this time of year?
At least the Jazz have a problem that can be solved without someone losing
a job or a franchise being ripped apart.

The Prime Minister is the biggest Jazz fan/critic we know of and he broke it
down for us like this: “The problem is simple. No one on the team other than
D-Will is able to consistently make a perimeter shot. From Paul Millsap to
Raja Bell and everyone else in between, it’s can be an adventure when someone
shoots from beyond the paint.”

Sounds like a trade for a quality shooting guard is in order. Why the Pistons
and Jazz haven’t figured out a way to send Rip Hamilton to Salt Lake City
already is beyond us.

Rip would be the ideal fit alongside Williams and under Jerry Sloan, who
would surely relish having a scrappy scorer like Hamilton around to help
win now and groom some of the Jazz youngsters on how to compete properly
against the best of the best.

大綱摘要:

(1)吵個屁! 真正專打弱隊的是爵士
(2)小胖表示:掙扎(打不過季後賽假想敵)
(3)該要思考是不是低估失去的傷害跟高估AL的效應
(4)從米到標 沒一個能(比小胖)會噴的 出油漆區投外線簡直是災難
(5)何不找R.I.P(AK表示:___ 小王子表示:___)

推 steo:之前AL的專訪我覺得怪怪的,因為大部分的隊伍在他拿球時
→ steo:還是會包夾他
推 MOTONARI:去年有BOO有KK還不是被唬人橫掃 就不能乖乖等OKUR復出嗎?
→ steo:KK對虎人沒用
→ MOTONARI:都已經是近來最佳開季了還想怎麼樣...
→ monmo:不要高估現在爵士的實力...=.= 去年橫掃是我們真正戰力嗎?
→ monmo:現在這支就算不如去年那隻(健康版)也不意外呀 如果磨合就比
→ monmo:去年那隻強 在湖人今年衰退情況下 我們就有把握季後賽勝出?
→ monmo:過去16場9勝7敗只有1勝5成隊伍是該警訊了 還有主場的退步
噓 steo:不過接下來到一月底對五成以下13場有9場可以好好刷戰績
推 MOTONARI:現在這支也不是健康版喔 在拜嫩復出OKUR放假的期間
→ monmo:我們今年勝利也有太多豪洨大逆轉的抖球 這些都該小心為上
→ steo:現在麻煩的是唯一能動的籌碼只有AK,但是約太大換不到人
→ monmo:這支不是健康版 但是之前B2B一勝一敗也是頗健康呀
→ monmo:如果要說Okur 我是不認為他能回巔峰期了 去年等於少2個先發
→ monmo:禁區還只有3輪替(看看今年禁區的人數) 外人就算了 自家人拿
→ monmo:被湖人橫掃來論斷實力 我認為有點對去年在隊球員不厚道
噓 steo:看看AK能不能交易掉補人在買斷回來
→ monmo:另外近年最佳開季 應該要算Deron受傷Boo帶隊的12-4聯盟王
→ monmo:但打完16場就換Boo掰到球季末了.....
噓 steo:試了一下AK<->RIP + Wilcox可以過,但是今年完就沒空間了
→ steo:我們還有Brewer交易的2.7M可用,還有Koufos的1.4M
噓 tonometer:"YOU go live in UTAH!"
推 MOTONARI:http://ppt.cc/Qa59 還是先解決這個問題吧 全隊慢熱?
噓 kaikai1112:我不覺得是慢熱.......而是散漫.......
→ kaikai1112:尤其是胖子  目前來說 胖子左右這支球隊的情況很嚴重..
→ kaikai1112:只要胖子開場打得散漫  整支隊伍就卡住.........
噓 sam369:ㄌ
→ kaikai1112:老番癲  真是越來越佛  居然可以忍受球員不專注.......
噓 kaikai1112:上半場 胖子 不切 不投 不指揮的情況 還不少見........
噓 fallenmoon:第四節大都放胖子跟街霸在場上 平均得分較高可以預期
噓 steo:印象中只有米爺第一節打得比較好
噓 Kiri1enko:我不能射嗎 最近不是三分投3中3 我也很能射呀
噓 ChrisPaul03:你確實不能  而且DW也不能  CJ一星期有一天能
→ ChrisPaul03:DW的專注力是他的致命傷  充滿自信的單打是兩面刃
→ ChrisPaul03:如果全隊最準的人落在DW  爵士等於垮了一半
→ ChrisPaul03:我認為湖人現在是盤整階段 Gasol調整好應該會回到排頭
→ ChrisPaul03:今年對爵士幸運的是有人可以試著對抗Gasol
→ ChrisPaul03:但總結來說七戰四勝贏不到第四勝都一樣
→ ChrisPaul03:因此我認為本季任務是清薪資重整默契  目標放在明後年
→ ChrisPaul03:今年幾個新隊員Watson, Elson都有看頭 Fesenko勉強用
噓 tonometer:交易來樓上有搞頭嗎
→ ChrisPaul03:使得先發替補落差縮近  這是去年沒有的情形
→ ChrisPaul03:總之...今年當做娛樂看看吧...
→ ChrisPaul03:我才在想交易Nash不如換來CP3
→ ChrisPaul03:但是...明年要封館...爵士總冠軍遙遙無期
推 MOTONARI:到底要怎麼做才換得到CP3?
噓 ChrisPaul03:其實黃蜂有備案了:J.Jack...所以用AK+替補任一人去換
噓 kerry0496x:籃板呢?
噓 Kiri1enko:防守呢？
噓 MOTONARI:凱子老闆呢?
噓 CW4:黃蜂沒什麼需要AK的理由... 99%封館的情況到期約沒什麼價值
噓 MARVELHERO:話說看到上面CP3研究DW，有種莫名的怪.......
噓 MillsapPaul:                                不舒服
噓 DK47:原來不只我注意到小胖的不作為
→ DK47:過半場球一丟人就躲不見了  不知道是戰術刻意還是怎樣
→ DK47:另外我們最大的問題是沒有一個穩定的進攻核心(小胖除外)
→ DK47:另外側翼的支援火力也不穩定！有一場沒一場的
→ DK47:除了CJ投一休四 Bell已老當年就不是很強何況現在
→ DK47:另外AK也在打擺子  準個一場不曉得要澇賽幾場
→ DK47:這不上不下的側翼組合幹麻整理整理換一個箭頭來
→ DK47:                   ^不
噓 DK47:我同意摸摸說的  不要太高估現在這支爵士隊...
→ DK47:仔細看看我們今年的貧攻就知道了  到了季後賽高強度
→ DK47:我才不相信板凳還可以打這麼豪洨的球
噓 stevenlovego:一點都沒有期待呀~
噓 AK3pt:期待什麼
噓 AK3pt:今年AL能磨合成功 CJ能穩定就夠了
推 species:少了Boozer和Korver,以前很多簡單得分的play都沒了
推 tonometer:少了馬修也很傷...他剛好是個砍將 能切能投
推 gratitude:我也認為Matthews是爵士最大遺憾
推 JeremyEvans:最後的疼愛是手放開
→ sneak: 另外近年最佳開季 應該 https://daxiv.com
