Trey Burke's injury ruined our lives!

As of today I remembered a vague memory of the preseason. It was the clippers game where Burke got injured. I went through the records and found what I was looking for. The starting line up was Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter, and Favors. This has been the only time that they have all started together.

Now as we know Burke got injured officially ending that starting line up for the next few weeks after that game. What if they had played pretty well in that game? It's likely that, that starting lineup would have stuck for a few more games in the preseason.

In theory Burke's injury might just have ruined our dreams of the core 5 starting and playing together. It might not have either and who know maybe our record would be 22-30 or something and the tank would be even more dead. Just some food for thought.

You're never going to be happy with the Jazz if you get stuck on these predetermined notions that you believe must happen no matter what, especially when they're formed from incorrect assumptions & faulty logic like "Core5 must start and play together". The pros are never going to bend to meet your faulty requirements, so you'll never get what you're calling for.
 
The Core 5 would have been brutalized the first month of the season just like any other 5 man set that Corbin could throw out there. Part of it had to do with the schedule; but the larger part is this team (as a whole) started the season woefully unprepared.

In fact you should be glad Burke got injured. If not, the Core 5 would have the stigma of starting the season 1-14

Seriously doubt 1-14. Lucas and Tinsley were perhaps the worst PG rotation the NBA has ever had...period. But I do see your point that the schedule was pretty brutal. Maybe just a swing of 3-4 games at best. Jazz would perhaps have 19-20 wins right now and we'd be hoping they could stay in the top-10, instead of thinking how nice it would be to hopefully finish around 5th.

I never said I was unhappy about out team. I just think it's fair to say that our young guys should be playing together more, even starting. That's why we are throwing away a season.
