"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Blueintheface]

That game was lame. The tip in was before the buzzer as well.

Like DNA evidence in the 80's, 20 years from now that loss will be overturned.

I can't even look at Harden without remembering that travesy of a game in which every time a BYU player breathed, farted, or even LOOKED his direction, Harden was at the line shooting free throws.

I'm not sure I could stand to watch the Jazz with Harden on the team.

But I suppose I could get over it. And it really isn't Harden's fault. The ref's from that game are the ones who really need a kick in the crotch.

I have the same reaction to him. It was ridiculous how much he used his off hand to get by defenders (hooking) and BYU somehow always got the foul. It was really frustrating to watch since he was committing an offensive foul on nearly every possession.

If the Jazz got Harden, half the main posters in this thread would bitch he was taking minutes from Burks.

You speak the truth.

Not me.

I'm the biggest Burks apologist on the board and I feel that Harden is the absolute ceiling for Burks. Burks, if everything works out, might get there. Harden is there and he's still very young.

Harden is a mystery. Sometimes I watch him and think he's all-world, and other times I watch him and realize why he comes off the bench. Even so, I'd happily take him for Hayward and Sap.

Highlights of Favors and Kanter against Portland. Two things making a big difference for Kanter this year: keeping the ball high instead of bringing it down and gathering before he goes back up, and ability to get off the floor quicker with less weight. He's getting a lot cleaner shots around the hoop.

like OKC would even consider it.

Okc just traded Harden to Houston for a bag of crap

Okc just traded Harden to Houston for a bag of crap

Kevin Martin isn't a bag of crap and neither is a nice young player like Jeremy Lamb. OKC did a smart thing similar to the Jazz and Dwill.

[The_Douger]

Kevin Martin is a washed up bag of crap considering what we could have offered them.

This bugs the crap out of me. We have needed help at this position for over a decade and Iggy and Harden have both been traded in the last few months while we sit idly by.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Great trade for OKC.

Kevin Martin is a solid player. Not as efficient as Harden, but can score buckets & now on a team with Westbrook/Durant, the pressure will be off a little bit compared to in Houston and in Sacramento.

I really like Lamb as well.

Toronto & Dallas first round picks too? Highway robbery.

[Jacob]

Seems like millsap/jefferson and burks/hayward and the gs pick and a jazz first rounder is a much superior offer. But what do I know? Okc now gets a guy who plays no D, and makes too much in his last year and a mid 1st round rook and a few picks. And they still have to start and pay Perkins.

Highway lottery? For Houston. All star caliber player for martin and lamb, neither of which are anywhere close to hardens level.

And a 5-15 pick from Toronto (top 3 protection, and 15-30 protected, Toronto doesn't look like a playoff team or top 3 terrible), and if I was going to be really picky a 20-25 pick from Dallas.

And the jury is still out on Lamb, who knows if the dude is going to be great or a bust.

Martin is a chucker with empty stats and his best days are far behind him. Houston killed it with this, and it's pathetic Utah couldn't get in on that action with their logjam of bigs and young wings, in addition to a high pick they could have offered.

Like the GS pick would net you someone better than Harden. There's so much young talent on Utah. They need some vets that know what's up. No, Al Jefferson doesn't qualify as this.
