Jazz fans have to be kicking themselves. They rejoiced when Carlos lied his way out of Cleveland and into a Jazz uniform with a fat contract, but he’s been a huge disappointment ever since. First came the realization that he’s not a franchise player who can carry a team. Sure, he’s a good player, but he needs to play Robin to a real star’s Batman in order to be effective. Also, the sap keeps getting hurt. ESPN is reporting that Boozer, who has yet to play this season after missing around 30 games last season, has suffered a setback in his attempt to return from a hamstring injury. Perhaps there is something to the karma thing after all.

Tough loss. The Cavs had chances to win at the end, but they couldn’t handle Kobe Bryant and LeBron couldn’t answer at the end.
Donyell Marshall explains the Cavs offense:
”We’re a drive-and-kick team. If LeBron kicks it out and you have an open 3, what are you supposed to do? That’s the situation. We took a lot. If you look at the 28 3s we took, only three or four of them were bad (shots)”
Damon Jones in particular isn’t making shots, and the loss of Larry Hughes gives them fewer option on the offensive end. Time for the head coach to earn his salary and make some adjustments.
After a great regular season, Bengals fans are left with serious indigestion heading into the offseason following the painful loss against the Steelers. They have to deal with Carson Palmer’s serious knee injury, and now there are rumors spreading around the web that Chad Johnson got into a brawl with wide receivers coach Hugh Jackson during half time. Johnson has denied the report, but sources close to the team say something happened. Stay tuned.
Phil Savage spoke to the media on Monday and gave an overview on the state of the team. He didn’t dwell on his own situation with the team, but he offered some insight on his plans for 2006. Nothing he said was very surprising, though he made his case that the team is on the right track.
The biggest news from the news conference involved Charlie Frye. Savage wouldn’t commit to Frye as the team’s quarterback next season, but he indicated that he felt Charlie is “capable of being an NFL quarterback” and that next year he would get a “strong look.” Sounds fair to me.
Savage has done a solid job so far. He made some great choices on trades and free agents, notably the Droughns acquisistion and the stabilization of the offensive line with three free agents.
We’ll see about the draft. Braylon Edwards is definitely a player, and Charlie Frye has potential. It’s probably too soon to evaluate the rest of the draft, but we need to keep in mind that Savage didn’t get a full draft cycle to prepare for the draft with his own scouts. That said, he certainly takes a very professional approach and we should expect good performance over time.
I’m glad he stayed.
