Memo vs. Horny

[JazzDoc]

Would you rather have the '97-98 starting five with Memo instead of Ostertag or this year's five with Hornacek instead of Brewer? I think either of these teams would have what it takes to win a 'ship.


Karl Malone
John Stockton
Mehmet Okur
Jeff Hornacek
Bryon Russell


Deron Williams
Carlos Boozer
Jeff Hornacek
Mehmet Okur
Andrei Kirilenko

I like the idea.

Ostertag was undermotivated and overpaid,
but, he really did help the defense a lot.
A lot more than anyone wanted to admit, just because he was so easy to dislike.

Ostertag for Memo, I think on that particular team it would be similar. More offense, less defense. If that is what we needed to beat Jordan, then I like it. I still can't put my finger on exactly what happened (other than Dick Bavetta waiving off our 3, and giving the nod to Kerr's 3, to come to a grand total of 6 swing points on undisputibly-by-review bad calls.

Hornacek on this year's team would be excellent. The spread on the floor would be insane. I Agree, that would take home a title this year.

I don't know, hard decision... I too think Tag played into the Jazz's defense alot more than people want to admit. One player I would trade though which I think would be an awesome team is trade Russle for Okur

Stock
Eisley/Shandon Anderson or ????
Malone
Tag, Okur when needed
Horny

Now that would have been awesome!!!

I'll take Hornie for today's team. Ostertag actually was a great fit for the Jazz back then; the problem was that they had to compete against a juggernaut of a team. Memo wouldn't have won it for them.

Hornacek on today's team would be a dream come true. Don't even get me waxing about the possibilities...

I'm with everyone else, Horny is a much better fit to this team.

Karl Malone not showing up and playing the worst ball of his life was the # 1 reason. Sloan getting thoroughly outcoached was the # 2 reason.

Hmmm, where you from Xiao Yao?

Who Sloan? Malone? You have to think your teams players and coaches are better than everyone else's to be a fan? In NY it's normal for fans to not agree with everything their team does. In Philly they've booed future HOFers from their own teams.
