My boys are healthy and dominating right now.
12 game winning streak...
I hope they keep it up against Atlanta tonight.

Karma will continue to take this team out as long as Boozer's around.
You just don't stab a blind guy in the back like he did.

Not looking so good tonight... but Utah has always been a 4Q team.

Utah makes 6-0 run at start of 3Q, and ATL already has 4 fouls...

3Q 20-5 run puts Utah up by 2 after a 13 point deficit.

Whiner Cavs fan, I take it... He's a 76er's fan. BTW... I hear that Loozer is looking to get out of Utah. Any truth to that?

He works well with Williams, but if there's a bigger paycheck elsewhere, more power to him...

That's the game.
Utah goes 12-1 in the last 13 games...

Not a Cavs fan, just a strong believer in karma.
Also, I get the concept of getting what you can while you can get it...but doing that to a blind guy? Just BEGGING for bad things to happen to you.

Do you think that "blind guy" is any worse off?
Come on, do you think that all Cavs draft picks are obligated to dedicate their careers to Cleveland because the owner is blind? Come on. I am sure is disability played absolutely no role in Boozer's decision to leave, but I guarantee Gund has dropped players due to their lack of ability...

Absolutely not where I was going at all. Clearly, you're not fully aware of the details...
He said he'd stay when Gund promised him the max in '05, then the Jazz offered him the max (less than Cleveland could offer in '05, but more than they were allowed to do in '04) and he bolted.
Karma can be a bitch, can't it?

I'm glad Loozer doesn't play for the Cavs. Obviously we're better off without him.

The Gunds no longer own the Cavs. They sold them to the Quicken Loans guy.
No, the draft picks owe no more allegiance to a team than their contract contends, but to ask to have your contract rewritten so you can get more money and then usig that opportunity to stab you teammates and everyone esle associated with the team in the back is just plain wrong.

I'll cheer for Utah when they play the Lakers.
Any team going against LA is fine with me!

Karma?
The Jazz have gone 12-1 with a healthy Boozer since the break...

He was under no contract and got a better offer... so what?
If your boss told you to stick it out and he'd pay you more a year from now, would it be stabbing im in the back if another company made a better offer and you decided that's what was best for you and your family?

It would depend.
Did I tell my boss I would stick it out, ask for a 500% raise (and get it), THEN leave for a better offer that my boss wouldn't be allowed to match?
If that's what I did, then I'd be an *******.
On a related note...I introduce to you, Carlos Boozer!

The difference being that the boss didn't say he would pay him more next year, he offered to pay him more thatyear, but he had to open teh contract first. So, when that happened, he took his chance to run to another team where he could be the star instead of being on a team where he was in LeBron's shadow. Never mind they could have had a couple of championships had he stuck around.

Sounds like he was a pretty savvy businessman.
Heck, he may do teh same thing to Utah... so what?
I know of very few selfless NBA players.
Utah offered him more when the opportunity presented itself,and he took it, plus he didn't have to be in a bigger player's shadow. Looks like it wa sthe right choice, since he will get to negotiate for a even bigger contract now.

Dishonesty is not "savvy".
