Burks has tried to drive the ball more than he has taken the open 3. He's scored exactly 2 baskets driving the ball, the rest of the time he hasn't even been able to get a shot off with the paint as clogged as it is.

Those drives will open up more, and opportunities for other players will also open up as well, if the Jazz can force Dallas to stop sagging off of Burks. Burks not taking the wide open shots Dallas is giving him hurts the Jazz.

Again silly. Burks took 4 three pointers. He took 4 two pointers. He made 1 three and 2 two pointers. (And went 2-2 from the line... On a drive attempt)
And remember, his strength is his drive game.
So he has done what you wanted.... Taken more threes than normal and less drive shot attempts. Was it everything you hoped and dreamed of?
Didn't look that great to me

He drove and shot the ball 4 times. Scored 3 out of four of those times. That is efficient

12 points on 5/8 shooting is pretty damn good for a player that Dallas has been tilting the court towards.

It's not. Points are only 1 aspect of the game. For several minutes at a time he's all but invisible. He needs to play point forward when Neto is on the floor.

OK Snyder got to the team. They will come out strong.

Alright get Favs going.

Yeah so, like I and others have already pointed out multiple times, he's had plenty of drives that didn't result in a shot attempt because of a clogged paint. Other players are being guarded more tightly because Dallas thinks they can get away with not having a player guard Burks on the perimeter, and outside of a couple Burks drives (one on a fastbreak), his drives haven't generated much either.

You act like his drives are unstoppable even if players sag off him on the perimeter. Which is really silly. Hell if that were true, all the Jazz would have to do is attack with Burks damn near every drive and they'd have a top 5 offense. Is that what you believe?
