What's new

1982-83

Eddie Murphy was the biggest star in America. M*A*S*H* was in its last season. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was released. Michael Jackson was black. Roger Waters was still in Pink Floyd. The top ten TV shows were 60 Minutes, Dallas, M*A*S*H*, Magnum PI, Dynasty, Three's Company, Simon & Simon, Falcon Crest, the Love Boat, and The A-Team.

At least back then we "great" shows to watch like The A-Team and Knight Rider to lessen the sting of a horrible Jazz team. Nowadays...after a Jazz loss, we get to watch shows like The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars, or American Idol, no wonder I'm so depressed.
 
well except for M*A*S*H* and Magnum PI, those other shows have all made the transition to reality TV with ease
 
This is paradise. It is just what jazzfanz posters wanted, no boozer, no Okur, no AK, and no Sloan. We have King Deron and his Minyans. Milsap replacing Boozer, a better shot blocking center in Jefferson, full time CJ, and plenty of time to develop the young players, and no AK loafing around.

Isn't this what everybody has wanted for the last several years?

The beauty of the current situation is it now shows in living color how stupid 95% of the fans really are and how little they know about basketball.

Now we want to work some magical trades with total dog crap to offer other teams and long for the days of Wes Mathews.

Fools.

You miss the point. No one said they wanted those players to magically disappear. That is ridiculous in the extreme. We wanted them TRADED for DIFFERENT players. Therefore it would NOT be Deron and a rookie and an over-rated short PF and a gangling 7 footer and an over-rated wing that can't shoot to save his life. It would be a different team that we can never know how well they would be performing. But no one wanted this.

Moran.

Ya MORAN! ... They didn't just want Sloan to disappear, they wanted the Jazz to trade him to TNT for Jeff Van Gundy. And they didn't want AK to get injured, they wanted to trade him for Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson. And they didn't want Boozer to gone for nothing...oh, wait, we got something on that one, nevermind. And they didn't want Okur to be injured, they wanted to trade him for David Lee and Monta Eliss. DUH!

Don't you see, those trades work on ESPN's site, so obviously that means every team would do them if KOC would just ask nicely!

Moran.

Yeah, and we wanted a billionaire heir to buy the team and blow all his net worth gambling on a championship. And we wanted Monta Ellis, Steph Curry, Blake Griffin, and all our other new acquires to donate 90 % of their annual salary to purchase season tickets for poor children. We wanted to trade Hot Rod for Michael Buffer, fly Elvis out of Cuba to sing at every halftime show, and the Bear to give all our children Sunday afternoon rides on the Harley.

MORAN!

Oh yeah well I was being serious. So shut up ya morans!

That was also the year they changed the spelling of moran to moron.
I'm glad we're getting back to our roots.

I see your moron and raise ye, in 30 years hence, the great change from owned to pwned. I too will look back and speak of the pre-2003 period quite romantically after we finally go back to that great olde spelling.
 
Sorry, my mistake.

I forgot about the luscious incoming personnel of Shawn Marion, Tracey McGrady, and Sam Dalembert or other various slugs coveted by the resident in the annual jazzfanz gmintrainings circle jerk sessions.

Good god, Jeff Van Gundy. The coach who ran an offense with Yao Ming setting screens at the 3 pt line. A regular Red Auerbach on Round Ball.

Ricky Green's stats that year: 14.3 PPG on 49% shooting, 8.9 APG, 2.8 SPG. Pretty amazing. It's too bad they lost Dantley to injury.
 
I know this may be a bit of a stretch as the song has been covered and re-released numerous times but it fits the subject matter too well.

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer was also re-released this year on the album "Live In Boston, 1982" by George Thorogood And The Destroyers.

I honestly don't know how I knew or remembered this but that's my brain a bunch of random useless crap that occasionally surfaces.
 
The Jazz just need to add two really good players to this team and stop giving max contracts to the wrong people. Done.
 
Depending on his intent.

Minyan is a Jewish quorum of ten males. Modern examples of use are by rehab expert Dr. Silbert at Delancey Street and Minyanville.com. Both have chosen its use based on the original meaning.

Wait wat?
