Cj had vertigo. Injury not a dnp-cd

Are you serious that CJ didn't play due to injury? I was all excited and now im worried that when cj is ready then burks will be back on the bench for DNP's.
Hopefully he earned some more minutes tonight, but then again he has earned minutes all season when he had the opportunity and still has been in the doghouse.[/QUOTE]

Makes sense. I was wondering why Corbin would pick a home game (the only games CJ does well in) to bench Miles. It seems like if he ever comes to that realization, it will be on a road trip.

What good constructed it was sentence.

Did you mean to say, "Injure the best player on the team that is currently above us?"

I meant to say "Hire Olden Polynice To Arrest The Thriller So He Can No Longer Post on Jazzfanz Because That Dude is a Total Dick".
 
I don't think I have ever been this shocked in the past month, when I looked at this games box score on the drive back form work

CJ - DNP?!?!
God - 26 points?!?!
Burks- THIRTY ONE MINUTES!?!?!
Bell- FIFTEEN MINUTES!?!?
Favors pounding the boards?
Tinsley having another effective game off of the bench?

Very upset that I missed this game. Although this team ****ing pisses me off sometimes, I am woefully hooked to following them :(
 
Tonight, Burks scored 15 points. This is only 1 point shy off Raja Bell's total offensive scoring production for the entire month of March.

Hayward looked real good tonight. And Favors, despite not shooting well, was a beast on the boards.

I don't think Raja should be playing anymore. CJ is better and so is Burks.

CJ should be getting (some) burn, Burks and Hayward should be getting serious burn, and Kanter/Favors should have more plans designed for them.

Raja should become very well acquainted with the bench.

Ya i feel ya man its nice burks got lots of minutes..... my point was that it should have been happening all along and that showcasing bell and miles didn't do any good.

We're all with you there.

Tinsley had a decent interview. Dude seems pretty smart.

Polynice might try but I'm pretty sure he'd quickly change his mind and join me in watching some March Madness. It's a shame dude, that you haven't come too. the invite is still yours. You could join us. These games are awesome and nearly every commercial break gives us Kate Upton and Carls Jr.

Jazz and tpups? Meh, I'll watch the highlights on KSL tonight. In reality, who cares? A win against the tpups isn't that cool.

Damn you UCONN! I had a feeling they were gonna go down... But I just couldn't see the defending champs going down in the 1st round!

Trust me, I will be watching NCAA Tourney. None of the games interest me as much as the team I have loved all my life though. Funny.

What about now? After every timeout, you see this...

I love March Madness.....

Well I guess what you want is for jazzfanz posters to point out every good play that he makes during the game.... Although we dont do that for anyone else.

When Al plays really well he gets praised, and when he struggles he gets criticized. Im not sure why that is so unfair.

I guess you and craig think that the Al haters only see when he misses shots, doesn't play defense, doesn't pass etc.
But the same can be said for you and craig.... You guys only seem to see when he makes shots, takes charges, and gets assists.

Myself and the majority of guys in this message board see both the good and the bad with Al.

And yet here you are attempting to clown on me instead of enjoying a great win. How's that going for you?

You are completely wrong. It isn't about Jefferson worship. I don't just log on to pick fights with everybody that has a criticism for AJ. But I will provide an alternate POV to counter the prevailing disgust over our best player. It is in the nature of an agenda driven mindset to ignore any evidence that refutes whatever your opinion is. This is why I so strongly opposed the people who just want Al out of the way to make room for the young players. They cannot see anything he does as helping the team. It's fine to believe that, but to try to back that up with false statements and poor logic is going to get refuted.

For instance to say that Al had a poor shooting night is a true statement. However to say he did nothing to help the team win the game or to claim that he was the main reason the lead was lost is very weak at best.

Hope that helps.

Al had two big baskets in OT, both off of offensive rebounds. Basically he saved us from losing two possessions and scored. He didn't play great, but he had some big moments coupled with some sub-par play late in the 4th.
 
Man it would have been nice to have bell, or miles, or howard traded.... or all three.
Harris has been much better
Milsap is still such a hard worker.
Jeffersons low post game along with his 15 foot jumper are awesome and unstoppable when he is feeling it.
Favors, hayward, burks, kanter are sooo fun to watch on offense and defense and are great reasons to have hope for the future.
Watson and tinsley are good steady veteran point guards.
Evans is entertaining and good energy in short stretches.
Carroll... who knows?
Bells "defense and 3 point shooting" just aren't enough
Miles "good play at home" isn't enough
Howard is a chucker and is gone at the end of the year anyway. (though he plays ok defense and rebounds well sometimes and seems to try hard)

I never said he was the reason the lead was lost... I said the lineup change was.
I always give Big Al love when it is deserved. Tonight he struggled... its ok he usually is our best scorer... yes he had some put backs in OT and he had some good plays earlier in the game as well. Everyone has some good plays throughout any game duh. Overall tonight i thought he struggled.

The question is will you be able to resist defending him again tonight.... I doubt it because you are not ok with someone believing he struggled in a game.

Is your computer screen a 55 inch plasma?

There isn't anything better in life son, than watching the underdog upset the highly touted big school and then immediately breaking to 55 inches of Kate Upton.
