"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

Forget the fact that he could barely walk against Portland, yet never considered coming out of the game.

Rip Deron for being turnover prone, for not improving his three-point shot, for the Torrey Ellis incident, but his toughness is simply not an issue.

I heard it was both legs and they considered amputation before Mr. Miyagi arrived at halftime. Give me a break. I love Deron. He's the best point guard in the league right now but you're telling me that he played 44 min the night before, including an extra session, and the next night was incapable of playing due to anything other than outright fatigue? Call it like it is but spare me the "he cured cancer while getting his 15th assist" routine.

Overreact much? I'm not blowing anything out of proportion. Deron has played hurt at different times throughout his career. The fact that he played 44 minutes while injured against Portland is just one more example - and probably the primary reason he couldn't go last night.

Sorry, but I can't get on the Deron isn't tough enough bandwagon with you.

Nor am I asking you to. It's my opinion. Deron has played through other injuries which is why it puzzled me is all.

You can't play through all injuries.

How does that prove anything? You cant be legitimately injured in one game and get over it in a day or two?

Lighten up, Francis. I was chastized already, and rightly so. Incidentally, I expected to lose to the Hawks, it's just that I was ALMOST upset that loss was by so few points. To see such a close game come down to offensive execution or lack thereof is painful and no Deron meant he incurred by "wrath". 17 of 20 is incredible. I have been reborn.

It would have been a great win, too bad CJ is worthless.

[MarkGrace]

[MarkGrace]

Any way we can trade CJ for Ronnie Brewer?

[MarkGrace]

[MarkGrace]

Kal El is 4/5 from three, but only 1-4 from the FT line.

[MarkGrace]
