Mehmet Okur's season ending Achilles injury combined with Andrei Kirilenko's strained calf have gutted the Jazz. Denver's road to round 2 is much easier without AK-47's defense on Carmelo. Utah doesn't have another big like Okur to stretch the Nuggets' D. Carlos Boozer will be asked to do even more despite the iffy status of his strained oblique. Doesn't look good for the Jazz.
Which means Jerry Sloan is that much closer to seeing his off season pals,
Kirilenko is that much closer to quality time with his wife Masha Lopatova who gives him yearly passes to stray,
and Boozer enters free agency earlier than expected with a fresh chance to screw over another franchise.
