Sick of slow starts... time to change starting lineup?

Post #1 » by **FJS** » Sat Jan 3, 2009 8:44 pm

How many games we are be beat by 15-20 in the first half?

We have to stop it.
I think CJ - Brewer don't work at the beginning of the games, and maybe without Boozer we have to start AK.

I think these start fives would work better than the one we have playing:

1) Memo - Millsap - AK - Brewer - Williams

2) Memo - Koufos - AK - Brewer - Williams

3) Memo - Millsap - AK - Korver - Williams

Koufos has to play all the minutes he can. He is a real deal.

And in the other hand... can we trade Boozer being injuried??? I would do it with close eyes for some instant help.

Start Korver, he gets better shots when he's on the floor with the starters.

i totally agree. i just dont think cj is a starter, he is a high quality back up. I also dont think it would hurt to let korver have a crack at the starting 2 spot

Yup. Start Korver.

I just think we need to upgrade our roster - trade for somebody - there are a lot of good players on the block, Different rotation will not do miracles IMO.

I don't think Korver is the answer. This year hea has not been very effective, whether it is his wrist or not. Deron's shooting is not back yet so we need a shooter, not AK to spread the floor.

Sorry, but the scape goat seems to change from day to day.

P.S. Boozer sucks. It's clear we don't need him.

Don't know about you guys, but I think we should definitely let him walk.

Letting Boozer walk doesn't allow us to sign another power house. It allows us to keep the people we have without Booz. What I'm saying is I love Milsap, however him along with a couple other players are not the answer for a ring. We are close however I do feel we need to make a move. This can still be our year, however things do need to change. Korver being in the starting line up will help the team start faster, but will not win us more games.

We may not need Boozer, however it is clear to me we do need someone because this team is not getting it done right now. Now when we win the next four games because of this home stand it will make us feel better, until we are knocked down again by the fact that this team is not talented enough to win it all. Again we are close but we need to make a move to complete the puzzle.

Wait...

I'm confused...

After reading millions of threads about how we don't need Booze because Sap is just as good, don't you think it's just a weird coincidence we are losing more games without Booze?

After all, he sucks.

We could sub Millsap in for Booze and not have any drop off. We had Knight-AK-Millsap off the bench and that's a line up that would keep a lead or extend the lead. Now we have Knight-Korver-Harpring-AK-Koufos
that's a terrible line-up defensively and offensively. The only people that play above average man defense are AK and Knight, Koufos is a good help defender but his man defense is ****. Harpring is probably the best rebounder in that line-up for **** sake. We don't need Boozer we need a solid back-up PF for Millsap.

Now the Utes can take a backseat, I'm in full Jazz fan form.

And yes, CJ Miles should definitely get benched because he's so awfully inconsistent it is almost embarrassing. He sure as hell should never ever finish a game over any of the other wings (that's including Harpring and Almond).

We should almost exclusively go to Brewer and Memo to start games, usually when they start off hot/productive we win.

Kosta clearly needs more minutes and that is definitely on Sloan.

As long as Williams and Millsap can play the entire game, I have no problem with the lineups.

I think that Kirilenko on the Bench is a best solution for us...
