Are you serious that CJ didn't play due to injury? I was all excited and now im worried that when cj is ready then burks will be back on the bench for DNP's.
Hopefully he earned some more minutes tonight, but then again he has earned minutes all season when he had the opportunity and still has been in the doghouse.

Makes sense. I was wondering why Corbin would pick a home game (the only games CJ does well in) to bench Miles. It seems like if he ever comes to that realization, it will be on a road trip.[/QUOTE]

Cj injury is what slcdunk tweeted

And yet here you are attempting to clown on me instead of enjoying a great win. How's that going for you?

You are completely wrong. It isn't about Jefferson worship. I don't just log on to pick fights with everybody that has a criticism for AJ. But I will provide an alternate POV to counter the prevailing disgust over our best player. It is in the nature of an agenda driven mindset to ignore any evidence that refutes whatever your opinion is. This is why I so strongly opposed the people who just want Al out of the way to make room for the young players. They cannot see anything he does as helping the team. It's fine to believe that, but to try to back that up with false statements and poor logic is going to get refuted.

For instance to say that Al had a poor shooting night is a true statement. However to say he did nothing to help the team win the game or to claim that he was the main reason the lead was lost is very weak at best.

Hope that helps.

I never said he was the reason the lead was lost... I said the lineup change was.
I always give Big Al love when it is deserved. Tonight he struggled... its ok he usually is our best scorer... yes he had some put backs in OT and he had some good plays earlier in the game as well. Everyone has some good plays throughout any game duh. Overall tonight i thought he struggled.

The question is will you be able to resist defending him again tonight.... I doubt it because you are not ok with someone believing he struggled in a game.

Is your computer screen a 55 inch plasma?

There isn't anything better in life son, than watching the underdog upset the highly touted big school and then immediately breaking to 55 inches of Kate Upton.
 
And again, who cares about the Jazz and tpups?

Two inept teams playing in March.

Yawn

Then why post here on such a consistent basis? If you wanna talk college ball, go frequent the hundreds of other forums out there.

I can see plain language will not get through to you.

I guess you and craig think that the Al haters only see when he misses shots, doesn't play defense, doesn't pass etc.
But the same can be said for you and craig.... You guys only seem to see when he makes shots, takes charges, and gets assists.

Myself and the majority of guys in this message board see both the good and the bad with Al.

Uh, no.
Even when Al plays well, the Al-haters still hate him. You can look back at the threads. They always come up with something.
"Yeah, he scored 33, but it was against a bad team"
"Yeah, but he took a lot of shots"
"Yeah, but his defense still sucks"
I could go on...

The reason why I stick up for Al, is because people blame him for things that they never blame other players for. It's extremely skewed.

Al didn't have a great great game tonight, but it seemed like he deferred to others who were playing great.
He made some good defensive plays, and his putback in OT was huge.
Also, look at the stats. He shot almost the same percentage as Millsap did. He also got 13 rebounds.
 
Aj made no good defensive plays. Not hating just saying what I saw. Feel free to disagree. He is reaching Boozer status IMO
 
We were winning by 12 with like, 3 or 4 minutes left. Al comes in, Favors comes out...4 minutes later, hello overtime! Coincidence? I think not.
