ESPN says it, so it must be true.
I wonder if Carrol sees sometime if Bell is out.
absolutely. josh howard has been playing some nice ball for us this year.
people cheering about his injury is just disgusting.
yes we get it... you happen to like young player X, Y or Z.
but being thankful for an injury or wishing it on someone else (raja, cj) is as low as it gets.
you guys are jazz fans?
tough break for josh.
hopefully he bounces back strongly.
he has shown enough this year to pick up another contract in the league next year, though i don't think it will be with utah.
good luck to him.

Well, if Corbin keeps true to form...
MORE CJ.
Corbin loves him some vets. And CJ is the most veteran of the options left. So, plan on Miles starting.

I think all you folks voicing this sentiment can just hop down off that high horse. Nobody is glad he's injured. They are simply happy someone else gets an opportunity. Nobody really wants Bell injured either, they just want him out of the rotation. And they only want that because they want someone else in the rotation.
Did they express it without much tact? Sure. But, the over-reaction to a bit of a lack of tact could come to a stop now.
He's a SF like David Lee is a C. Jeremy Evans cannot guard SFs that challenge his lateral footspeed and strength (his high center of gravity takes away from both, despite his being a beanpole), and he cannot guard a >230 pound chair regardless of position.
My point is he's just not a very good player.
Ask yourself, if he's mostly been played at SF this reason, why is it he couldn't get on the court? SF is one of the bigger weaknesses on this team and he couldn't get on the court. He's also gotten most of his minutes in pure garbage time (where he ALWAYS has Kanter and Favors out there, where Hayward has been starting most of the year and not relegated to garbage time (there being no SF for garbage time situations), Burks, and one of our elder statesmen. He wanted to play Evans, so he played him at the only position that he'll ever have a chance to become a rotation player on a good team but the guy just doesn't play that position (yet?). In the games where Al or Sap can't play, Evans plays as a four in meaningful games.
But sure. Jeremy Evans. Maybe Jeremy Evans.

A dedication going out to Josh Howard; he's a joker, he's a smoker, he's a midnight toker...
Josh, I know of a couple places here in LA you can get a medical marijuana license to help you in your recovery.

And this song was also noted for one of the greatest lines in history..."you're the cutest thing that I ever did see, I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree."

Evans is a PF in a SF body. He has no SF skills unfortunately, and way too small and weak to make it as a PF. Jazz just need to say goodbye to a guy who really fills no position and never will.
go back and read the thread buddy and if you're still ok with people talking about their own team's players like that than fair enough, i can't help you.
high horse has nothing to with it.
if we want to talk about rotation changes, let's do it.
i'd expect to see a few more minutes for carroll, burks and evans, but get the feeling that cj is likely to gain more minutes than any of those guys.
could create a dilemna for management if he puts up good numbers between now and end of the year or improves his consistency on the road.

Its really sweet how everyone is saying that no one should be happy that he is injured, but come on, comparing this situation to a forklift driver in a warehouse?
He will be ok. He has the best doctors working on him, the best physical therapists, strength and conditioning coaches, and he can play again if he works hard and rehabs.... his career is not over if he doesn't want it to be..... Oh and he has made millions of dollars.
If this happened to me then i would be totally screwed. I would probably lose my job, house, and wife and get on unemployment or something.
I have been wanting to see more burks all year. If this is what it takes, then so be it.
Would I prefer that burks and hayward would just get the majority of the minutes with no injuries? Sure i would, but i dont think it would happen without an injury like this.... So i am happy...... And Josh Howard will be just fine if he chooses to be.
No one is on their high horse. It seems like you are trying to rationalize comments that stated they were happy he was hurt.

I would guess that we see a depth chart that looks something like this:
PG: Devin Harris, Jamaal Tinsley, Earl Watson
SG: C.J. Miles, Alec Burks, Raja Bell
SF: Gordon Hayward, Jeremy Evans
PF: Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors
C: Al Jefferson, Enes Kanter

Howard's physical defense will be missed. Wish him a speedy recovery!
Hopefully the youngens will begin step up on a consistant basis.
