memo's actually a decent defender, you must be one of those that don't watch the games regularly.

No, that's actually Memo, I noticed him do that during the game, but, I don't know how to get images from my DVR to the web or I might have done so myself.

It was very fast, I'll bet he's surprised he got caught.

umm have you ever heard of sarcasm??

I have watched nearly ever Jazz game that Memo has played in and I would have to say that being decent is nothing to brag about. Memo nor Boozer play decent defense, if they did we would have one of the leagues best records.

i saw this during the broadcast and wasn't sure i was seeing correctly...

as for the defense thing, I payed special attention to his defense last game in order to back up an educated opinion that he IS a decent defender

unfortunately decent = sucks. he generally stays in front of people, but doesn't really stop them from scoring, can't block shots, isn't intimidating and commits stupid fouls that lead to unessecary 3point plays.

I saw that, I was weirded out they didn't took it out. I think it was after Maggette's complain-a-thon.

Yeah, I noticed it too. It seemed like boler and booner couldn't decide whether to comment or not, eventually just pretending it didn't happen. Has anyone heard if the league has fined him yet?

I saw it happen live, the camera quickly pulled away when they saw it. I had to look at my fingers cuz I thought there was no way Memo would flip someone off.

It isn't photoshop... I rewinded and looked at it again. Just like the Briggs has the "magic spray," Okur had the "magic finger" up.

He did have a poor defensive game, but, I think he was trying to avoid fouls for the most part.

But, you're right, he should not only stay infront of his man, he should be something of a barrier, instead of just backing up all the time.

Memo's defense has been much better lately. I would say up from "matador" to "usher", but definitely an improvement.
