Josh Howard out for season!!

Why is this still a sticky?

We don't need a flagged place for folks to show their *ss.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is worth discussing...just not stuck to the top of the chart
 
Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever had any serious knee injuries?

What happened? Could you still walk? What did it feel like? Did you end up having surgery? What was the rehab like? How long did it take you to be near 100 % again?
 
I am all for finding the silver lining in a bad situation...but it should be just that, the consolation that takes the sting out of pain.

I liked Howard and thought that he made us a better team. Early in the season, Ty experimented with a line up of Howard and Hayward that I loved.

So I guess the silver lining is that this came at a time when Burks has some experience under his belt, and can make a solid contribution. Not sure that was the case from the start of the year. I think there is value in giving a player time so they can develop, but I also think they need to earn the time. Giving a young hotshot time that he doesn't earn may actually set him back in development rather than speed it along. I think Jazz management are doing a pretty good job of setting a standard for these young guys to play to to get on the cour,t and rewarding them with significant playing time when they do well.

Hayward was clutch down the stretch against OKC, and Burks got meaningful minutes against the Lakers. Not sure what else we could realistically ask for from Tyrone.

So I feel bad for Howard and wish him the best. But I never thought that he was anything more than a one year rental.

You said it man.

Weren't you running for some office or another down there a little while ago?

Yup. Not sure what that has to do with anything, other than common sense > cry baby nonsense -- in which case, I agree and point back at your original point: I AM on another level.

Keep at it, buddy. With hard work and determination, you too can rise above mediocrity. Good luck with that.
 
"Ya, poor guy. Millions of dollars to sit at home, smoke weed, not practice, not have to go to work, and eat lortabs all day. I imagine that Josh is probably celebrating more than most of us "classless" fans."

Apparently about Howard who is out.

Just one of the many really insensitive assertions by a guy who is supposedly some kind of representative in Utah? Seriously you people vote for this guy? I'm in Idaho and won't ever have an effect on this clown's career but for real. TB is a serious politician? I have heard all my life that Utah is a great state. Sorry for you if you vote for a DB like this.

Insensitive assertions? I have a serious question for you, because I really want to know: Are you retarded? How many people here would take Josh Howard's situation right now over theirs?

And while we're on the subject of you not knowing what you're talking about, I am not a politician. I ran for City Council and would've done a hell of a good job had I been elected. Instead, I volunteer 8 nights a month to the city on various committees and councils. What are YOU doing to better your city/town/life? Nothing? Shocking, really.







p.s. The Browns suck.
 
I would take josh howards situation over mine anyday. I always wished i could play basketball for a living and make millions and millions of dollars. I had knee surgery last year myself and had to miss work which ended up getting me behind on bills so i had to work lots of overtime to catch up.
Josh howard is in a wonderful situation.
Plus the jazz are playing better than ever.... seems like we all should be happy

The argument that people are classless for being happy about Howard's injury is laughable. First off, I'm one of those people who are happy about the situation. I'm not happy that Josh Howard is hurt. I'm happy that Josh Howard isn't playing, it just happens to be that he isn't playing because he's injured. I'm a Jazz fan, not a Josh Howard fan.

The Jazz are better for having Josh Howard out of the lineup. How is that not something to be happy about? It's not as if Howard is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Essentially, the guy is being paid millions to sit around most of the day, rehab some of the time, have sex with just about any hot girl he wants, start shooting basketballs, have sex some more with a different hot girl, shoot some more basketballs, buy a new Cadillac SUV, etc, etc. Yet some people are classless for being happy about their favorite team being better because that guy is out. Hysterical.

Bad news for Josh Howard fans. Apparently, he was having sex with a couple of hotties on top of a pile of money, when one of them rolled over onto his hurt knee. This morning, when he woke up, it was slightly more sore. I'm thinking maybe Utah should shut down the rest of the season, to show their respect for the fallen. It's probably the right thing to do.
