Seems like a lot of folks are keeping quiet. . Eating crow etc.. Obviously he wasn't being utilized the proper way and trigga trey being hurt didn't help.. He got an unfair shake and is back to ballin. KANTER IS NOT GETTING TREATED RIGHT and the jazz will regret trading him if they do.

for sure ... how long is it going to take Jazz management / Ty to figure out that were supposed to be developing tallent here... with the idea to win a ring .... Marv and RJ are probably not even going to be resighned .... so why the heck are we even playing them ... last year was a waste what are we tring to do here? ..... audtion players for other teams? we need to be playing our core guys and see what they can do! if not we will be sitting on a bunch of high draft picks and playing old washed up vets that can hardly run up and down the court

1 good game is 1 good game. It was great to see but you are over reacting. Let's see him keep it up before we start singing his praises. He has potential.

He's had solid back-to-back games now and is doing something that he has not in the past: creating for teammates and making pretty solid passes. 5 assists and 1 TO against PHO, 4 assists and no turnovers against the Rockets. That one assist when he was driving to his right at the top of the arc and swung a pass to the guy on the other side of the arc was a thing of beauty.
 
Too early to tell if TB can keep this going but if he does it will invalidate much of the criticism about Ty. Be interesting to see how this board reacts since there is always a high need for 1 or 2 folks to bag on.

I think Burke needs to pride himself in being a great defender and knocking down spot up 3's at around 40%. If he does this, he'll be fine because he has a decent transition game.

Burks in a Bowen-esque role would be ideal, if he can develop that type of lock-down defender ability. I'm not sure he can, his bball IQ doesn't seem to be anywhere on Bowen's level so far. But a more athletic and skilled Bowen would be fantastic.

I'm no huge fan of Corbin, I want him gone, but I don't mind the usage of RJ and MW, though perhaps they could go 5 less minutes or something. This is because I view them as semi-solid veterans who really do help the development of the players around them through coaching and example. This is the same reason I hope JL the Turd never plays again, because he makes players around him worse.
 
Burks has the potential to be much better than he has mostly shown. We've seen flashes of his potential. I'm hoping our next coach knows how to utilize Burks.

This.

I've said it before I don't want Burke playing out of position at pg. dudes a sg for hell sakes! Use him as a secondary playmaker to take pressure off Burke, but he needs to attack not run the damned offense, and good hell, I don't mind Kanter coming off the bench, but please give him more then 15 damned minutes. Either trade him now or play the man!
 
So pissed. My life is ruined now. I dropped Alec Burks on my fantasy team. He was sucking. What was I supposed to do?
 
Sometimes when I read a thread on either Burke or Burks, it seems as though posters start mixing up their names and I forget who we are talking about.

Burke is our PG
Burks is our SG

I have been down on Alec lately because he seem to stop shooting from outside and was turning into a player who plays like a chicken who just got its head chopped off. Last night was his best game since game 1. He seemed to calm down and this helped him to play better. The Dude has to take and make shots from outside or his career will be short.
