Some people are so blinded by their desire to see our young players get more minutes that they don't realize that Howard was a great asset to the team this year. The team is definitely worse for not having him available. My only concern about Howard from the start was that I think he was trying to springboard to another team. I have no problem with the way he played before he got hurt.
Josh Howard out for season!!

He's......... NOT A SMALL FORWARD!!!!!!!!!
His 3 point shooting impressed you?

Always bad to see one of our players go down with an energy. I liked what Howard brought to the table I hope Jazz pick him up next year and get rid of the likes of RAJA to thin that position.

Then why has Corbin played him at SF?

I'll admit I was a bit hesitant. And the same with Tinsley. Both have been model citizens. I wish Howard nothing but the best (well, as long as he doesn't end up in LA or Miami, that is).
Agree, but need somebody who can shoot the 3 and someone a little younger.
I don't remember that ever happening.

^ Haha, that's funny. My "!!" in the title is not me being happy about Howard's injury. I, like a lot of others, thought Howard was helping us win and staying classy while doing so.
Was he a black hole at times? yes. But, did he help us win some games with his shot and his toughness? definitely, yes.
I think now, we get to see what Burks is really all about, which isn't really a bad thing for this team right now.
Plus, I think the only Jazz player I've ever wished injury on was Bell, and that was after his little rant where he went home before the Bulls game...which I feel bad about doing to this day. In the end, these guys are people and have lives and family outside of the game, and they never deserve to be injured.
