its better for Williams not to play for his sake and also for the sake of the
team, afterall the season was not even half way, it's not yet time to panic
and rush things too soon, this also goes to Harpring and Collins..as for Memo I
think its better to sit him out again, just to be sure..as for B. Knight,if it
serious then sit him out too..as for Millsap and Kirilenko, I think they will be
fine..Go JAzz!
WHERE ARE THE TOUGH GUYS? | 6:11 a.m. Nov. 19, 2008
what happened to the days of Stockton and Malone. where are the tough guys who
simply played through the pain? call the whambulance. common guys...get out
there and play like you want a championship! i am having a hard time believing
that Stock or Malone would even want anyone to know the had a hurt elbow or
finger...give me a break.

Okur is back? These guys who travel internationally don't know you have to
get up and move around? Okur is supposed to be in shape. He is a whoosh.
Harpring is finished with all of his surgeries. Where is Fez? With the Flash
again? Brevin Knight injuried? We need more Millsaps. He is the only warrior
on the team. The Suns lose to the Jazz? Right! This league is a joke. Sixty
games per season is enough. Then all teams are in the playoffs with 7 game
series. The season would then still be over by June. I predict a Laker Celtic
final series again. The Jazz will be lucky to get out of the first series in
the west.
Nevertheless......GO JAZZ!

Williams needs to sit until he is full strength. Playing on one leg is not
going to bring playoff wins to the team. As for Memo, airplanes are the worst
thing on backs. Worse than riding in a car. Once he gets adjusted and
stretched out, he will be fine. Plus stress can cause a lot of back pain. When
your back is bad you can't do a lot on the court. The rest of the whimps
on the team need to get on the court. That is everyone but Harpring. He can
stay out for the entire year.

For Collins to ride his golf cart off into the sunset. He's still not good
enough to justify holding Fess and Koufos back. Lets play them.

Wax nostalgic all you want. Stockton and Malone don't work here any more.
Learn to support the team thats on the floor now, or find another team that
suits you...........Gag and bag the complainers!
RE:Miles | 9:45 a.m. Nov. 19, 2008
You sure throw the words around when anyone talks about Miles but seem to have
no problem thrashing Harpring on almost every post.
The only reason you don't like Harpring is because he takes away time from CJ.
So who would you replace Harpring with knowing the intelligence of your posts it would probably be Jason Hart.

way to go bygone days, i am sick of the utah fans that are never satisfied, all
of you that just sit on the couch with a coke in your hand and think that yu
know what is going on. you call yourselves fans, we are still 3 in the
conference and we should win the next 6 games even without williams. Just
chillout all of you fairweather fans. relax.
Miles | 10:04 a.m. Nov. 19, 2008
So you really think Harpring is the answer? What has Harpring done lately? He
got lit up in the playoffs last year when he was healthy. All he does is foul
and give up free throws. He had another off season surgery and is basically
playing with one leg. Good....Put him on the floor at the expense of developing
CJ's talent that can actually help us come playoff time. Harpring used to
be my favorite player but his time has past him by due to injuries. Who is
Jason Hart?
RE:Miles | 10:08 a.m. Nov. 19, 2008
CJ will be fine. He's still needs to find ways to score around the basket
to help him open up his shooting game. Harpring still has something to bring to
the court. He is still able to post up and get some easy buckets.
Likewise, CJ needs to learn to player better d-fence!

Harpring is kind of ehhh for me as well. I think that if CJ brings his game
again tonight, as well as some Defence, I would much rather have him on the
floor. Harpring is good to come in and muscle a little bit, but sometimes it
seems to hurt us more then help us. So I have to agree, as of right now to the
more CJ/Korver opposed to more Harpring.

I am the original RE:Miles.
My point is this. There is no doubt CJ is our future. He has the all around game and the athletic ability to be good an possibly great. No doubt he deserves the time right now. I was all for the Jazz resigning him.
But every time I jump on this board you hear Korver stinks boot him, Harpring stinks boot him, Price stinks, Collins stinks, everyone stinks.
If everyone stinks so bad then are we proclaimed to have the deepest bench? Even Collins serves a purpose.(Never thought I would say that) Look what he did against the big cactus. Harpring (when healthy) will bang people around hard. Everyone else just touch fouls or reaches. The whole bench has and will serve a purpose. No sure how people think we are going to improve our bench by booting a few. What do we expect to get in exchange?

I'm not really sure how I would work the minutes for Harpring but I
definately think he is worth keeping around. I think that as banged up as he is
it is probably a good idea to limit his minutes and give more time to CJ. That
being said if I had to make a choice, in a critical situation, on who to send
into the game I would take Harpring every time.
Miles | 2:07 p.m. Nov. 19, 2008
You all assume Harpring will be healthy. I disagree with you on that one.
Harpring has had to many surgeries to be healthy. So Magnus, you take Harpring
on your fantasy team and I will take Cj on mine!!!
RE: Miles (the original) Glad to see that you finally came up with a name. Nothing like being little brother. And Harpring does stink.
As for me I don't want anyone traded. I just don't want Harpring eating up CJ's minutes and then losing again in the playoffs.

for all you whiners... | 11:59 p.m. Nov. 19, 2008
Enough with the whining about Harpring, Miles, Korver, etc. Come on now!
They're ROLE players, and pretty good at what they do. They're not
meant to be stars, and the Jazz clearly have one of the deepest benches in the
league. Stop whining already! What would you rather have, Minnesota's
bench, or better yet the Clippers. I'm sure you guys would love to have
some scrub like Kevin Ollie or Shannon Brown instead of our guys. Get
serious...
