I don't want to spend much time commenting on the game last night against the Jazz because it went as expected. Last year, the Sixers beat the Jazz at home and it was surprising to see quite frankly. This year, the Jazz are a better team and the Sixers are a worse team so the outcome was easy to figure. I just want to note that Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are going to be a formidable duo in this league for a while. Boozer has great size/strength and also a nice touch from either hand. He really asserts himself in the lane. Williams has matured quickly and it's nice to see a true PG developing - someone in the likeness of a Jason Kidd. Jazz fans should notice a strong resemblance to a former great duo they used to have - Stockton and Malone.
Imagine if Boozer hadn't fled Cleveland just a few seasons ago but actually stuck around and continued to play with LeBron. Hard to say that team wouldn't be the class of the East.
I'm heading to the Wizards game tomorrow. Sixers are right in the middle of a '5 games in 4 nights' stretch but I think they have a shot tomorrow. Gilbert Arenas is out and having Korver back now could make a difference.
