The tally was done by a sport writer. Don't think there is a running tally anywhere. But according to advanced metrics performed on my TI-89, the refs still suck.

Confirmed. My HP-48GX concurs.

The ****? The Jazz are currently ranked 9th in the NBA in 3pt%.
Gotta love RPN! If you've got an Android phone, check out Droid48. Awesome free HP emulator. I use it all the time.
I think the poster was implying the Thunder weren't too bright...

I have that! My original HP48 died a couple of years ago, and they don't make em anymore...only way is to buy used one. They're going for $200+ on ebay. Crazy...that's more than I paid for it brand new in the early 90's.
Sweet, I've got a 48G (I think that's the model) in my desk drawer just sitting there. Maybe I should look into selling...

Likewise. I"m wondering if Joe Ingles' play isn't making Burks a little redundant ... either that or Exum is going to sit.
Redundant definitely isnt the right word.

Lol yea, they almost couldn't be more different in what they bring to the team.
GS is a championship team. I wouldnt say we are better than them, but we could get there. We can beat them in a single game sure, but in a 7 game series? I still give them the slight edge *today.
Now if Exum and Lyles end the season on another level, and Burks comes back as a super sub then we have a better chance.
The exciting part is *when healthy, we can even dream about these things. Also, GS has to stay healthy! What if they lose Green or another key player?
Maybe the luck changes come playoff time? Thats the fun of watching this thing play out...
Right now its about health and development. We have barely scratched the surface of our potential.

Re: Burks
I think the potential chemistry issues with him are overstated. He's proved to be an adequate 3 point shooter (just needs to take more of them). And his penetration/finishing game/ability to draw fouls while doing so is something I think we're still missing. Hood still isn't good at drawing fouls. Exum has the length and speed to do so, but still isn't as aggressive as Burks, nor can he finish at the rim like him. I think if he ever gets back to full speed, he'll bring a much needed element off the bench for us. Quin himself recently stated that Burks is indeed a top 6 player on this team. Don't underestimate what having a 13-14ppg scorer off your bench can do for you.

Especially when that scorer is a slasher that can finish at the rim. Also plays with a pair of bigs that works great. Lyles draws his man out of the lane and they play and that will allow Diaw, with his passing, to reward Burks slashing.
Then add any 2 of Exum, Mack, JJ, Ingles...
Jazz are gonna buzzsaw teams.
