Bold Prediction: Alec Burks WILL have a huge breakout year.

My issue? You want to know what my issue is? My issue is that I'm not getting any action lately and instead I'm spending time on this site getting pissed off by attitudes like yours. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. As of this moment I'm putting you on ignore and heading out in search of a friend with benefits.

does thinking of my attitude make you go limp in bed with your leathery bar flings?
 
He has to, I mean, HAS TO shoot more consistent in midrange & FT, more decent 3 pt; if he wanna break out. But yeah, he was my guy for this season since like, last season.
 
I swear to all the gods, if you sissies make franklin and GVC post less........ I will find each of you.

Dat demar derozan 30% three point shooter = all star doe.


It would be nice if Burks shoots and makes alot of threes.

But if he doesn't shoot alot of threes, but keeps shooting about 35% from three..... while being a fantastic driver, finisher, and foul drawer then he can still be an all star level player.

Derozan nearly doubled his 3pt attempts from his 3rd year to his 4th year, when he became an All-Star....

35% is a great number to be at, but he has to actually shoot them for it to have a positive affect on floor spacing and such.

You want everyone to treat them special and take it easy on them when they act like dicks and we call them out?

And we are the sissies lol.

Poor frank and gvc. I'm sorry for bringing up stuff those guys said. I'm just a big ol' meany i guess.

The irony of a Burks apologist saying this...

You want to cherry pick a reaction after one game where Burks was being a complete ****up on top of a few weeks of ****ups? Tool.

Tbh franklin (and u know I love you) your overreaction in the posts quoted in this thread is the exact same as the anti-Ty/fire-Corbin crowds who incessantly post the same thing, and group mob any signs of people dissenting against their opinions.

Kwame-Kanter, Burks = worse than Brandon Rush, and Burks = Whaley/CJ Miles are either baseless overreactions, or troll-bait. I don't care for which one it is, but it's ironic seeing you hurling insults at the anti-Ty/ Pro-Burks crowd for thoughtlessly pushing forth drivel without considering any critique of their perceptions, when your 'trolling' (if it is trolling) is equally thoughtless.

Personally, I always straddled the very middle of the Burks debate. To those who think that Burks was ready to start from day one, they are wrong. To those who think that Burks didn't improve under Ty Corbin's coaching, they are completely wrong.

To those who think that Burks playing extremely well this year will be justification that he should have been starting from day one-- I suppose they could be correct, but I find it incredibly unlikely. Different coaches assemble different systems, which suit the talents of their players differently.

Burks, a ball-dominating wing who shoots among the lowest threes out of any PG/SG in the NBA, being thrown together with other starters in a slow-paced offensive system would be an unimpressive display of his play, and it probably had potential to even regress his development. I thought Alec's minutes were managed completely well throughout his career in the NBA thus far. His defense has never been top-notch, and he has learned how to improve the play of others on-top of developing his own scoring instincts.

Kanter's coaching has been a bit less of a success, IMO. It's clear that Quin has connected with Ty better (not a surprise for a coach who's main talent is reportedly 'player-development'), and several aspects of his game had regressed under Ty. It's fair to credit some of that to coaching.


So full-circle: Zulu bumping past posts of people calling for Alec's head is totally not a huge deal, and I'm in awe with people having their feathers ruffled over it. If Schröder has an unreal season/career this year, I'll laugh every time orangello bumps a post of mine saying how much better Burke will be. If people bumped my Singleton posts from 2011, I'd laugh as well. We are all prone to making judgements (particularly during emotional points of a season), and basketball is a rather unpredictable sport. So, standing on a pedestal, calling people 'tools' for them bumping old posts of yours is an overreaction, IMO. I'd feel the same if Burks collapsed this year, and you started bumping all of foj/Zulu's posts where they compared Wade to Burks, and Zulu called you a tool, asserting that his comparisons were a consequence of "a frustrating Jazz season where we just wanted to try anything".
