Josh Howard out for season!!

I'd love to see Jeremy used as a SF, but his ball-handling skills apparently are less than ideal. Carroll may get some time, but I'm betting it won't be much...It'll likely mean larger doses of CJ at both SF and SG, Burks as a b/u at SG. If Burks is 'hot', I hope they leave him in! Hayward will also get more PT, I'd think.
 
I would like to see Carrol and CJ start. I like Burks and Hayward playing with Favors and Kanter.
 
Sorry to see someone get hurt. Howard was a professional and sounds like a good locker room guy. Very sorry to read people cheering about this loss. A man is hurt people.

I hope the other guys can step up and replace Howard's D.
 
This may end up good for us next season. Most likely we will not be resigning CJ and hopefully we will be shipping out Raja in the offseason. Most teams will be hesitant to sign Howard after this knee surgery and we could sign him to another cheap 1 year deal. He could really help us get to the playoffs next year.
 
I just wish the Jazz didn't sign vets like Howard and got rid of Bell this season and let the young guys play and develop. Then we'd get our draft pick, as well, though still might. We should be rebuilding and not worrying about the playoffs this year. I think playoff experience is overrated, at least first round. If the guys are ready, they will perform. The Jazz aren't going anywhere this year, so let's get them ready next year and thereafter, and get that draft pick.
 
For those celebrating his injury **** you. Hope he recovers quickly and everything goes well in the surgery.
 
I feel terrible for Howard. It was nice to see the Jazz actually have a SF that knew how to play the position. Howard rebounded well, cut to the basket well, he even posted up. It was a nice change after years of watching AK.
 
I go back through this thread and it doesn't seem like anyone is exclusively happy that howard is hurt, yet i see alot of people saying "**** you to all the people who are happy he is hurt.

For me i never wished for him to be injured and i would have liked to see burks and hayward get more minutes in a different way, but this i what happened.
Sucks for howard (who like everybody said seems like he turned his bad behavior around and has been a professional) but its good for people who wanted to see the young guys more (which is like 95% of jazzfanz). I am one of that 95% who wanted to see the young guys more so i am happy.
We can be happy for our viewing pleasure of getting to watch the young guys more ( which is what we wanted) while still feeling sad/sorry for josh howard.
 
No way to tell. Howard was a good defender, good defensive rebounder and a hard worker..... but he was a chucker who shot a bad percentage and was kind of a black whole.
And he was pretty bad a running a fast break.
So to answer the question, it will depend on how good CJ, Hayward, Burks, Bell, and Carrol step up thier games. We might be better now or we might be worse
 
SojoDave, you must be delusional if you prefer Howard, as he played this year, over AK -- when, even in his worst year, did AK ever shoot 39-22?

What bothered me about Howard was his horrible shot selection. And he killed a lot of rallies by missing wide open shots. Yes, he did some good veteran things, but I would rather have seen Burks getting the minutes.
 
I was disappointed with Howard overall, though he showed some flashes of goodness. Hopefully he can make a recovery and go forward, but on the bright side we'll see some of the other guys get more time.

Tyrone Crobin told 1320 on coaches show that he considered starting DeMaree Carroll to keep rotation but is going with Gordon Hayward
 
So i started at page 1 and i found ZERO posts where someone says that they are happy that josh howard got hurt. I see some posts about people that are happy that the youngsters get to play and therefore happy with the situation.... But not a single post where someone is like "i had been hoping for josh howard to get injured," or "im so happy that josh howard is hurt."
I did see alot of posts from people bashing these non-existant jazz fanz that are glad josh howard got hurt though.
