Says the Russian...
He is a hell of a player who has gotten better every year. I was looking forward to following him in Boston and especially their games against the Jazz(and hoping he'd have a terrible game against us while boo's rained down on him). Did he look even stronger/bigger again this year? Would have been interesting to see how he fit in in a different system and with Kyrie.

Dude, I'm an Atheist, but at least I know that no baby was cut in half in this parable.
The story is an example of wisdom, not cruelty.
Sometimes you reach a point in your life where it is only Russian books left...

In a strange way I am kind of angry about the injury this morning. It is true as an emotional Jazz fan I wanted to see Hayward fail in Boston, but not this way. I wanted to see Hayward exposed as a mediocre player who was made better by the Jazz. I wanted to see him go 3-17 with 5 turnovers, angrily stewing as Kyrie took over every end of game. I wanted to see Boston fans harass him for his 10-pt 3 rebound performance against a rival, and watch their anger build as they called for Tatum and Brown to start in front of him. I wanted to see Stevens rally around his guy, until the pressure became too great and Stevens betrayed Hayward to save his own skin. I wanted to see Hayward sitting on the celtics bench with the thousand yard stare--disconnected from the team, the coach and the community. I wanted to read about trade rumours and how many assets Boston was going to give up to entice the Pelicans to take on the remainder of Haywards contract.
Now all that is gone. If Hayward fails now, it will be attributed to the horrendous injury, no-one will say the Jazz made him great, and with out the Jazz he is just average.

I know it's a parable, but it is illustrative of the kind of response that Maneesh has made about Hayward.

I don't get some of you. Shedding what I can only hope are crocodile tears for this piece of ****.
Are you a Jazz fan? If so, then you should wish great things upon anyone currently wearing a Jazz uniform and wish bad things upon enemies of the Jazz. I can't imagine a bigger enemy right now than Hayward who **** on this team and on SLC to go to ****ing Boston. Because Jazz fans aren't as intelligent and as cultured as the famed Celtics fans.
And don't give me that ******** about how it's one thing to wish a bad season on Hayward and another thing to wish injury upon him. Boo-hoo, the coddled middle class boy who never had any real hardship in his life and who made 60 million already and has a guaranteed contract for another 120 might not ever play in the NBA again. He might have to live out the next 60 years drying his tears with money while playing golf and ****ing his mistresses and trying to figure out how to spend 9 figures. If any of you would like to offer me that deal, I'll give you my address and you can come here and do what you please to my ankle, tibia, and knee with a sledge hammer in exchange.
This news made me happier than the Rubio trade and I have been fantasizing about Rubio in a Jazz uniform since around 2006. Oooh, I'm a bad person for delighting in Hayward getting hurt. I don't ****ing care. I'm a Jazz fan, first and foremost. **** Hayward and his stupid leg.

Go ahead, check me out -- this guy is a dishonest person which is shown through all the fake alt personas he has used, like Phunk and who knows who else. He should be banned for falsely maligning my character like this.

This is a sport not warfare (and I believe warfare is evil and immoral). You might wish the Celtics lose and Hayward doesn't make the All-Star team, but you don't wish injury on anyone. Then you take this out of the realm of sports and put it into barbarianism. Yes, you want to win, but winning is not everything. There are more important things in life like good human relations and empathy for others.
But the king didn't actually cut the baby in half, he used the possibility to discover who actually cared about the baby like a mother would. So your point made no sense.

No, you don't get it. The point I'm making in relation to the parable, whose example is an exaggeration, showing something that is inhumanly cruel, is that Maneesh's response about hating Hayward was similarly unfeeling and cruel.
