Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
Quote:
A combination of Utah's good shooting and limited minutes in Monday's rout of Washington gave Carlos Boozer few opportunities for rebounds, and he finished with a measly two, a stat that caught his attention as he headed to the showers after the 129-87 win over the Wizards.
"I'll have to make up for it on Wednesday," he said. "Watch out."
Preferably for him, he'll get enough rebounds and points to log another double-double performance that helps the Jazz beat Minnesota at EnergySolutions Arena.
The stat that means the most to Boozer is Utah's win-loss column, but he, like many players, whether they'll admit it or not, is mindful of his own. The one he pays particular attention to is one he is excelling in this season, finishing 50 games with double-doubles.
"You can win games in multiple ways, and I'd always rather have double-doubles than just a bunch of points," he said. "It's one of those things I'm proud of. I've been a double-double guy most of my career and for me, the way I get them, it usually means another possession for the team for us to take another shot or whatever, so it usually means I'm helping our team be successful."

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
I love seeing Deron and Boozer play together, though it'll be the other rotation players in Utah who make the difference in the playoffs. Both of them have proven that they'll be beasts, and if the others can step up....

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
I'd say Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge is just as good

Oh my gosh.
Deron and Boozer will dominate this series against Houston just like they have been all season.
Utah sure does love its big man/little man tags teams. Talk about striking it lucky after Stockton/Malone you get Williams/Boozer, I smell conspiracy theories

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League

The sad thing is you're probably being serious.

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
Ah, of course.
Of course then we have to consider how many free agents wouldn't sign in Utah...

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
The Jazz don't need any more free agents or anything. This team has a very solid roster from 1-10.

Re: Boozer, Williams Among Best Dual Threats In League
^ They do now, of course. I was referring to the Jazz' past history of not being able to sign FAs - to needle poor Porn_Player a bit.
