They interviewed together after the last game.
And they both wore suits and ties to each.
Sharp dressers, those two.
They interviewed Boozer and Williams together after the game. They both came across as intelligent, well-spoken, and professional. Boozer, in particular, seems like a player that would fit well in the Spurs' organization. The Jazz still have to climb Mt. Spur, and I don't see any way it happens this year. But it is easy to understand why they are one of the four teams left.

"A team's greatness can be measured by the strength of its adversaries."
Yeh, I forgot to mention that. Boozer really looked at home in that suit. I didn't see them in the last post-game, but tonight they were two guys that you have to pay attention to. No excuses, no bull . They know they have a very difficult job, but not ready to pack it in by a long shot.
Boozer is a ing . He tricked a blind man, former Cavs owner Gordan Gund, into not picking up his option for year 3 so that the Cavs could pay him the MCE. Then he went and signed with Utah. Nice.
So, let's summarize: he plays defense for , and he's a liar/trickster. NOT Spurs material
I was really impressed with Deron Williams, given the fact that he's only 22 years old.
And for sartorial elegance at the podium, no one has surpassed Tracy McGrady so far in the playoffs. Although I did have a WTF? moment when he showed up in a trench coat while it was sunny and 85 in Houston.
Give me a ing break Ex, Boozer next to Duncan would be twice what Duncan and Robinson was.
Tricked a blind owner. I bet if the Owner could've gotten over on Boozer he would've also.
Boozer and Derron Williams can play for me any day of the week.
BTW, sweet suits tonight Carlos and Derron.
OK, that's plain ing stupid. Boozer played defense that make Fabs look like a ing All
Star.
DRob/Timmy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Booz/Timmy
The owner was trying to cut him a break and sign him to the MCE a year early, because as a second round pick, he didn't make very much his first two years. No good deed goes unpunished. Gund could have easily said "No, play your 3rd year". So, he signs the deal with Utah, that under the former CBA, Cleveland can't match. Then, he tries to force a trade to the Lakers by basically sitting almost a year over the span of two seasons with a hamstring. It wasn't torn, and didn't require surgery. He did his rehab in LA. Big surprise.
Actually, the Cavs wanted to pay him a below market salary in exchange for making him a free-agent one year early. Such an agreement is illegal. The Cavs organization, and many NBA organizations in general, make promises they intend to keep only for as long as it is convenient to them. Boozer had a choice to make, become a star and be the main go-to guy in Utah and receive $30 million more than Cleveland offered, or remain in Cleveland, play in Lebron's shadow, and hope that Cleveland didn't screw him over later. I'd say Boozer made the right move.
Y'all are ing idiots.
1. Boozer's aforementioned Gundgate regarding his contract. You don't go back on a gentlemen's hand shake. That's bull .
2. They're Utah. any sympathy or class. We've gotten put out in the playoffs by the Jazz in recent memory. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Wow.
You should never disrespect David Robinson like that....even if you're talking about David and Duncan in David's declining years.
You're talking about an MVP, Two-Time NBA Champion, Gold Medalist, etc....
I'm sure that's the way the Utah papers spun it.
from Gordon Gund
Liar liar pants on fire...
Please.You should never disrespect David Robinson like that....even if you're talking about David and Duncan in David's declining years.

Thats not disrespecting Robinson, its just how damn good boozer is.
Period.
Can't say I formed my opinion from any Utah papers as I wasn't living in the country at the time. Fact is, Cleveland was trying to make a deal that wasn't legal. Boozer had every right to do what he did, and he says he had no agreement with Cleveland. So it comes down to his word vs. Cleveland's in terms of a "gentleman's agreement" but legally everything was legit. And now both teams are in the conference finals. No harm no foul.
Boozer is as much of a one way player as Nash. The lane is our turnstile.
The Cavs tried to make an illegal contract with Boozer by calling it an "understanding". The T-Wolves nearly got penalized out of existence for trying the same thing with Joe Johnson. They got what they deserved.
More importantly, they tried to use that single season to extort a longer-term contract with Boozer for less than he was worth. Why? Because they needed to save enough money to pay LeBron James. How much less? Only about $30 Million.
All Gund had to do was sign his name, and they had Boozer for one more year for 700K. He said he "showed trust" in Boozer. And in exchange for that trust, Boozer was supposed to give up $30 Million? Face it...Gund tried to pull a fast on on the league rules, and it bit him in the ass.
If D-Rob and Timmy played together in their primes for say 10 years, they would have won maybe 7 or 8 les.
I will definately give them credit for not whining and complaing like our previous opponent.
sure didn't look like that in the second half.The lane is our turnstile.
Boozer played the pick and rolls pretty good in the second half.
I mean, seriously guys, Boozer next to Duncan is obviously not anywhere near Robinson and Duncan together.
Think about it like this. If Boozer were on the Spurs, Duncan's offensive role would be diminished, just like Robinson's was when Timmy came on board. Boozer would get more touches because he's a better all around scorer. The problem with that scenario is that when it happened with Tim and David, David was still an elite defender. I think he was still top 3 post defender even with gimpy knees and bad back at the age of 37, a MUCH better defender than Boozer could ever be. So you've got a repeat of the Robinson-Duncan situation with the roles reversed in with Duncan-Boozer, except Boozer can't play defense like either Tim or David. You get slightly better scoring, but much worse defense. And with the way the Spurs are cons uted now with two other All-Stars picking up scoring slack, you don't need scoring, you need interior defense. And Robinson-Duncan >>>>>> defense than Duncan-Boozer.
It is very hard to hate these jazz...
classy organization
Comparing Boozer to Robinson is disrespect. Boozer is a flavor of the month. Robinson was a cornerstone for 13 years.
You need to watch some old David video.
Just think of it like this.
Boozer would be in when Duncan wouldn't and vice versa.
You tell me how the offensive touches wouldn't work.
Points are moot as it is, it aint happening.
It isn't disrespect.Comparing Boozer to Robinson is disrespect. Boozer is a flavor of the month. Robinson was a cornerstone for 13 years.

I saw old David in person, and Boozer is a better offensive player, not as good defensively.
I won't even give you offensively. If David didn't defer to Tim, he still puts up 23 and 11 on a Sean Elliott-Avery Johnson in 2002.
