ITT, I briefly post my absurd opinion on every Utah Jazz player.

Xsy said:
Guys, I love Gordon Hayward.

Not in a gay way, I swear.

I love him for basketball reasons. I promise. This is strictly an "extreme fandom" type of relationship. I know I'm not alone, here, either. You love him too. Admit it.

Sorry, wrong. I do not love him. He is ok as role player, nothing special. Sorry, I do not get all this Hayward=God mania...

You only love a player if they're a star player?

Note to self: Never watch basketball with AKMVP. He must be one of those people who criticize every play. "Yeah, that was a good play by DeMarre, but he's still just a garbage time player." Dude, shut up and enjoy our Jazz.

People make me sick. That's why I like talking to the internet.

Not true. I like watching Millsap, Evans, Favors, Watson play. I liked Price hustle when he was still with us. None of them are stars. There are numerous players I enjoy watching. Hayward is just nothing special.

I'm going to enjoy watching you continue to be proven incorrect this coming season.
 
Jazzfanz favorite player is always:

1) A recent draft pick
2) who is getting edged out for playing time by an obsolete veteran, and
3) intermittenly has flashes of brilliance, but
4) those flashes are rarely in meaningful games.

Bonus points if white.

This board would have loved Jamie Watson in the mid 90s and constantly wondered when John Crotty was going to get his shot.

Love it! You're right Crotty would have been a star on here

I'm going to be giving a lot of love to a lot of the players in this topic.

Honestly, the players I hated the most last season were Harris, Miles, Howard, and Bell.

I'm really hoping I like the Williams duo, Foye, and Murphy.

Anyway, here's a hint for the next player:

Old.

I have a feeling your definition of old is not quite the same as mine, you little whipper snapper.

Who here actually thought Jamaal Tinsley would be a solid backup guard? Nobody, that's who.

When we first signed him, I joked around that we finally got our #1 pick-- seeing as he went #1 in the D-League draft after his initial NBA retirement-- but expecting absolutely nothing of him. For the first two months of the season, he averaged about 5 minutes per game. So every time there was a Jamaal Tinsley sighting, I'd jokingly be like: "YEAH, NUMBA ONE PICK FINALLY ON DA FLO".

After a few appearances, though, I stopped joking about the fact that Jamaal was on the floor, and started getting excited. Not excited in a "Oh man, our future is bright" kind of way-- I mean, the guy's 34 years old. But excited in a "Holy crap, this garbage pickup we made is actually not so garbage" kind of way.

The guy is the epitome of 'veteran savvy'. He knows how to get what he wants, how to fool his opponents, and his schoolyard tricks make me giggle like a little schoolboy.

Even better than his veteran savvy, and schoolyard tricks, is his amazing attitude. The guy is one of our best bench cheerleaders. At timeouts, he's one of the first guys off the bench to pull aside our young players, and give them advice. He doesn't complain about the role he's given, and he absolutely steps up when we need him to. He's an amazing person to have in the locker room, and I'm so glad we have him to support our young core.

The only problem I have with Jamaal Tinsley is the fact that he has to battle Earl Watson, another extremely likable team-friendly backup Point Guard, for minutes. If I were to make a poll on JazzFanz right now called "Who should be first off the bench, Earl Watson, or Jamaal Tinsley", I wouldn't be surprised if the results came up 50/50.

In the end, I love the crap out of Jamaal Tinsley, and I'm glad we extended him the extra year.

Also, off topic, how do I update the topic title? I want to put (Updated 8/9) on the thread title, but it only updates on my original post, and not on the forum list.

I just tried to do it for you but it appears it's not as easy as it used to be. Let me look into it and get back to you.
 
Someone managed to do it with the Roger Braille topic. If its something users can't do, I don't wanna bother the mods to change my title every time I update it. So don't worry too much about it!

I like this thread... bump
 
There has been an awful lack of excess-posts (XS....heh) in this thread.
 
I actually thought about this thread yesterday!

This bump has motivated to write the next post.

Expect it in the next 1-3 days. :d
