Exum Injured

For whatever reasons, Ray. Call it fate. Call it luck. Call it karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to go through the season without Dante.

For what Purpose?

I don't know.

lol, okay. Let's hope that purpose is not the universe's desire to destroy the Jazz.
 
@gordonhayward says @daanteee injury is "tough" but insists it will be a "minor setback" in his career #Jazz

A minor setback in who's career? Gordon's or Dante's?
 
Remember when this injury was the kiss of death and well worried about guys like Danny Manning?

At least we have reason to think that Exum will be back and healthy within a year.

Terrible news though.

Ya, great question. I understand why you need to ask it....

Well let me say this... the injury to Wesley Matthews I think caused a chain reaction that led to Aldridge opting to leave POR... i.e., team starts to under perform, Aldridge moving on to greener pastures, Matthews jumping to DAL..etc.


Think about the Paul George injury... that Pacers team was knocking on heaven's door and then what? Now they've got to go young again and let West and Hibbert walk....


I'm just glad Hayward, Favors, and most of all Gobert are all still solidly healthy with no history of injuries.

Locke says no official timetable will be given. But then says surgery + 6 months rehab. So February at the earliest. I'd think mid march is more likely. So one month before playoffs.

Don't most ACL injuries take longer? At least before they are close to being 100% again. I remember Big Al missed that year when he was in Minnesota and then it seemed like it was another full year before he was back to 100% again. Maybe it's harder for big guys.

Obviously he means Dante's.
 
Hoping Exum can bulk up and work on his core as well as watch lots of video. This stinks for his development but I hope he can make the most of developing his body and mind.

I agree with you. The injury sucks for dante and the jazz future.

My argument has been with those that say since dante is hurt we won't make the playoffs this season and that this season will be boring and suck and we might as well not watch it

Well then we pretty much agree on everything.

This kind of thinking is the reason I don't believe in fate. It pisses me off to think that no matter what bad thing happens it was what was going to happen no matter what. If this is the case then what's the point of anything?

I'm kinda dig the basics of Buddhism. I try to remember the first 3 Noble Truths anyway. The eightfold path is a little too hippy.

I used to be a Buddhist, I know those by heart. I'd say it's more of a philosophy or a way of life rather than a religion per se ... there is no "Creator" in Buddhism and although some Buddhists believe in reincarnation, there is no explanation as to who is behind it, etc. I have lots of questions and reservations about how reincarnation works, which is another story all together.


A lot of it is pretty vague and most Buddhists differ a lot in what they believe is what Buddhism is all about.

Yeah. I'm not religious at all. I find that not wanting stuff/facing the reality that I am going to lose everything I value including my existence and there is nothing I can do to stop it, gives me some peace. I don't worry about **** that I otherwise would.

Yeah but you can probably buy a self help book off the shelf and it'll probably give you the same advice... I'm sure somebody has already written a book already called "The Art of Letting Go" or some **** like that.


It's really nothing special, and when you see people who don't even have enough food to eat devoting their lives and donating $$$$ to temples so that those monks can get rich and gold gild their temple, to me it makes me sick.
