Jazz injury woes continue

The Utah Jazz have played 43 games, have a record of 25-18, and are currently 7th in the West. This is remarkable considering the amounts of games their players have missed:

Carlos Boozer - 31 games
Deron Williams - 13 games
Mehmet Okur - 8 games
Paul Millsap - 6 games
Andrei Kirilenko - 5 games
Ronnie Brewer - 1 game
CJ Miles - 3 games
Kyle Korver - 4 games
Matt Harpring - 14 games
Brevin Knight - 6 games

Boozer and Williams have only played two games together. They have yet to play a game with their top seven players all healthy.

Now their pattern now seems to be following what it's been the past year or two. Win at home (17-4), lose on the road (8-14). They'yre still only 3 games out of 2nd int he West, and this is a team that need home-court advantage. If Boozer can come back for the last 25-30 games of the season, they'll be a force, and with half of their roster becoming free agents this summer, this is the year they need to make a splash.
