Message to Matthews lovers

I wish this guy was on our bench, cheering on our guys this year!
 
Why are you hell-bent on having no semblance of tact? Do you think you're winning hearts and minds? Because I'm here to tell you - as someone that liked/s Boozer and defended him more than most - you're doing the opposite. Please stop.

Why don't you guys go back to your TRAILBLAZERS board already? All you do is post about Matthews. Geez, get over it already!

Agreed. That would be like me whining about trading ronnie brewer. Matthews left on his own. He's not on our team anymore. I could care less about him.

You missed the point entirely. People keep telling me to go to a Bulls board because I keep talking about Boozer, but they don't say that to all the Matthews lovers, which is what I'm trying to point out.

I get no respect.

Maybe it's because Matthews (and his admirers) isn't a bitch.

You don't deserve respect. If you want R-E-S-P-E-C-T then stop trolling and earn it.
 
I tellyou to go back to bulls boards because you are such a sensitive little nanc about it. This thread leads me to believe that you are trolling. You got me at first, but now I realize you are not as dumb in real life as your postings indicate.
 
I drove almost 900 miles to three Jazz games last week and you morons have the NERVE to call me anything other than a Jazz fan? Get real.

Wow neurotic much? No one on this thread called you anything of the sort. On other threads sure, but why create a thread specifically to show your level of fan-ness and how it compares to others? Your need to be justified and vindicated borders on the paranoid. I wish you luck in therapy.

I dont get you Sloany. I think most people understand your point and either agree or disagree. Why do you find that you NEED to know that you're right?

That's fine if someone disagrees with me, but there's very few people who can go about it in a reasonable fashion.

Reasons from Jazzfanz as to why Boozer was a bad fit for this team:

-He pushes players aside to get rebounds (as opposed to getting outrebounded like the current front court)

-He doesn't play any golf with his teammates (gasp!)

It's logic like this that gets me going. No real basketball talk, just a bunch of garbage that people make up.

Ok, I can agree with that.

I think the reason Boozer was garbage was because his defense was woefully suspect and he has a penchant for getting injured. Now that we have that out in the open you might or might not agree. Now what? Argue about who is right or wrong? Again, I dont get it. You think Boozer was great, I dont. I think he was a good player with some major deficiencies. We went as far as we could with him. Again, thats now out in the open. You might agree or you might not.

Now what?

Well said. Repp'ed once the stupid rep thing thinks 3 reps in 24 hours is not "too much rep given".


I think you have really pushed people away from Boozer the way you continually harp on it Sloan. I like him for his offensive ability and an unreal knack for being where the ball is to rebound. The guy was a light-footed, athletic, Karl Malone-level finisher at the rim, and even from 20 feet out. He has offensive moves no one in the league can touch right now, except of course Griffin but Griffin is a freak of nature.

My biggest beefs with him were 1) his lack of defensive ability/effort - someone on this board said it best back on the old board I believe when they said he moves like a ballerina on offense, but like he has a volkswagen on each foot on defense and 2) he was the antithesis of a team player, and yes largely due to what he did off the court. You may discount what goes on off the court, but it matters. Idc if he is everyone's buddy, but the way he approached the game, like it was just business, that he cared for nothing but his paycheck, that he didn't support anyone else in their desire to win, didn't sit well with other players. We heard Deron comment on it at times, the way he called out nameless folks for not caring about the game (AK also springs to mind - vacation plans?).

But viny is right. We disagree and the issue has been rehashed ad nauseum. Your inability to admit a single flaw and your constant, seriously non-stop, harping on how he made us a better team and how wonderful he is and how he is the second coming of whatever, invites argument and eventually scorn and pity.
