The Jazz have been stumbling as of late anyway, but with no Mehmet Okur, they had no prayer against the Lakers for Game 1. The Lakeshow got everything they wanted, and with no Okur to spread the floor, Pau Gasol and Andrew bynum were able to hang out in the paint.
Carlos Boozer still got his points, but he's 6'8", Paul Millsap is 6'7", and Gasol and Bynum are both 7-footers. This would mean they'd need AK47 to be his old help-defense self, but that guy disappeared once the long contract was signed. Remember when Kirilenko was in the Top 5 in the league for blocks and steals? Yeah, thems were the days.
