Shakeup In Salt Lake City
Considering the nature of their embarrassing game 5 loss, it wasn’t unexpected that Jazz players would have some biting post-game comments. However, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer really, and I mean really, lit into their teammates. Williams started out by questioning the team’s heart.
“I like to win. I’ve always been that way. I’ve always been a competitor. Winning drives me, and there are some guys on this team that are like that. There’s some guys who aren’t like that.”
Boozer was next, and he took umbrage at the fact that some of his teammates were already planning their vacations.
“We have some guys already having vacation plans, and on the other side of the spectrum you see a guy like D-Fish who went across the country to take care of his daughter and fly all the way back just to make it to the game. It’s sad to have that…That’s a problem and we need to get that fixed this summer. We need guys that are always going to give everything they have. We need guys that have a championship vision. When you have your vacation plans already, that’s not a championship vision.”
I sure hope Gordan Giricek and Andrei Kirilenko enjoy the Bahamas.
