Korver : the salt the Jazz needed

Other than the playoffs and opening night, few events are as exciting as getting new blood on a competitive NBA team. This happens in two ways, a trade, or the draft. Kyle Korver is a trade that made the Jazz look like a team that wants to compete again.

Korver is a super addition to the Utah Jazz. With sharp shooter skills from the outside, he frees up the inside and keeps the defense honest in spreading the floor. This is meant to open up the middle, which it has, but more importantly and maybe a little less expected is the release it has given to Okur's shooting. Okur has gone off for two games over twenty and has a mess of confidence that is pouring out onto the court since Korver's arrival. Jazz fans are happy to have Korver, but maybe even more happy to have Memo back. Thanks Korver.

I hope Memo can continue to play as well as he has thie year for the rest of this year. With Kover, the Jazz are 5-1. Kover, I don't think has had that much of an impact with his shooting percentage with the Jazz, but he still gives them that extra excitment and energy they need. The west is great, and if the Jazz want to even think about making the playoffs, they need to start playing like it now. The Blazers are for real, Lakers are in trouble now with out Bynum, Warriors are dangerous(but they still suck!!) New Orleans are also legit.
