I like what he's doing and hope he continues playing this way.

All I know is he'll need to put up 25 and 12 on 50% shooting if the Jazz want any hope of beating the Lakers.

Deron Williams is taking over their postseason for them.

He's extremely ineffective when not allowed to push off on every rebound. Translates into bad offense for him. He can't get into a flow.

He's playing soft. PERIOD.

I haven't seen this side of Boozer for a VERY long time now.

Every time I've watched him its like he's lost his mentality. He just doesn't seem quite as focused as when he puts up big numbers. I just can't think of anything that would cause him to lose his focus though.

He just got his clit pierced and it's still a little sore. Once that heals up he should be just fine.

It seems like he's trying to use his mid-range game to set-up his inside post game ala David West but his shot is just not sinking. He needs to work with his back to the basket and stop with the dumb turnovers.

I honestly think he's tired from playing 81 games this season for the first time in a while. Even last year he had a long break from a broken leg that led right into the All-star Break so he had a long rest.

Maybe people now will realize that he isn't hardly the best player on the Jazz.

He's off the roids. Once he gets back on his cycle he should be OK

As for the playoffs, he was playing a very strong defensive team in Houston for the first round so his numbers weren't that surprising.

Really don't know what's wrong with him. Last season he had a monster series vs the Rockets and then went on to have another great series vs the Spurs. :-?

I think he's finally starting to realize that he could have won multiple championships and be remembered forever if he had just stayed with LeBron in Cleveland.

He probably realizes that he's headed down a ringless road with a Jazz team that has no interior defense (thanks in part to his weak defense), and not enough star power to beat the Spurs and Lakers in the coming years.

Trust me...this is the problem.
