What a joke!

[McNutty]

You never mentioned the haircut, just like I never mentioned what I was joking about. Go away thread Nazi.

Speaking of lame and stupid comments, I'll let this stop at your Nazi reference and get back to basketball.

You have to have been on basketball to get back to it.

I am usually the one preaching patience and forbearance, but this is one of my all-time low moments as a Jazz fan. I have been anticipating this pick with so much hope and excitement inside for the better part of 5 years now....and it ends in getting a slow, unathletic, goofy looking white boy who has no NBA-caliber skill. A "sweet shooter" who just hit 30% from 3pt range--and don't give me the bull about how his 44% freshman season was the reality and this year was only a result of people contesting his outside shots better. **NEWS FLASH** In the NBA the players are longer, more athletic and more aggressive, you think that those shots are all of a sudden going to become LESS contested? STFU.

I haven't been this devastated in a long time. All year I had visions of Favors and Turner ending up in a Jazz uni. When the Knicks won those last few key games that pushed them past Philly, Washington and Detroit (and even with LAC), I contented myself with the idea that we would at least have a shot at Monroe, and if all else failed, we would be able to fall back on a bona fide defensive ace like Aldrich. I could live with that.

Then the draft process wore on, Monroe's stock climbed and Aldrich's fell. Now it looks as though we are interested in a big white guy who is a perimeter 4 and might be able to play the 3. Fine. The guy shoots 50/40/90, and tests out as an elite athlete at the combine. I am disappointed, but at least I can see something there.

But no, we don't even go with that guy. Instead, we go with the guy who shot 46/30/83, who is an inch shorter, with shorter arms, far less athleticism and an Icabod Crane physique. I have stuck by the Jazz and defended them through a lot of hard-to-fathom decisions. Tonight, I have had enough. Tonight I only have one thing left to say: Fnck you, Kevin O'Connor.

I can say that as a whole, I like the Jazz board. I enjoyed the banter with many posters and I did want the Jazz to have a solid #9 pick. My motto was no Wall Turner, Cousins, no problem.

But out of all the posters in this forum, I am glad that you feel this way about your pick. Your behavior towards the Knicks was beyond obnoxious and I would be lying if I said I was not a little bit glad that you feel the way you do about the #9 selection.

But let me go on record and say I still like Hayward and I hope he can replace Korver. I still do not want him to bust.

And you never came back and apologized to me when I was spot on all year long about the Knicks. I never brought it up because I don't like to gloat, but I called the number of wins TO THE EXACT NUMBER before the season started, predicting them to take 29 contests. I was wrong on a few particulars, but by and large I was spot on about everything I said. Your team was short as hell on talent and filled with a bunch of me-first ball hogs in contract years. It was a disaster waiting to happen. The only thing that kept you from the 12-15 win season you SHOULD have had was excellent management. A fact that was wildly and entertainingly overlooked by the fans of your board who refused to believe that you simply sucked, but that it was Mike D'Antoni and Donnie Walsh who were to blame for the fact that Gallo wouldn't take a shot inside the arc, or that Free Candy wouldn't pass, or that avid Lee let people have their way with him in the post or that T-Mac had no legs, or that Larry Hughes couldn't hit a jumper.....on and on and on. Your whole board owes me an apology, and you should be first in line. I called it like I saw it and I ended up hitting the nail on the head. Now go back to your board warm yourself with the idea of giving Joe Johnson and Carlos Boozer 150 million this summer and I'll go back to watching 50 game winners who have no real chance at winning the championship. Good day.
