Booo Alec Burks as point guard

[Dr. Jones]

BluesRocker, WHAT!!! T-i-n-s-l-e-y does not spell Burks. Haven't seen anyone advocate Burks as a serious PG at this point. Most posters seem to be very "upset" with the way Burks handled himself last night.

I would suggest actual attendance at school, and perhaps some remedial reading courses to increase your comprehension.

Now is that any way to speak to someone that could be your grandson? Cranky old *******.

Throughout the years, I've learned that it's always a great idea to make a judgment on the ability of a guy to get a job done after he's done that job for an entire 10 minutes in his career.

Starting to suspect that PKM means Patrick Kinahan's Mother. How do you spell Kinahan anyway? See BluesRocker can't read, i can't spell and Patrick Kinahan's Mother has no sense of humor.

That was humor, gramps. Of the sarcasm variety. Here's a belated

Sorry! Can't recognize my own weapons when they are used against me. But i notice you don't deny that you are Kinahan's mother.

Looks like there is still a lot of people hoping Burks is going to be our future point guard. Ya you people are reeeeaaalll level headed. Good luck with that!

Boooo ! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Good point. He should play more at the PG... Maybe by the 15th game he'll learn the fine art of the simple "bounce pass"

Or as Boler would say, "skip pass".

 

[Brown Notes]

I didn't think he showed a lack of skill.

He doesn't know the offense and has no idea how to direct others. Somebody else needed to initiate the sets.

Also the team was lazy. Nobody set good screens that I saw, not many guys running hard within the offense and nobody boxed out. Missing Watson big-time. IMO he would have gotten their heads in it, or pulled them out as it were.

It is amazing how quickly people panic and come to conclusions based on the most minute set of data. It's more a testament to the emotional attatchment people have to the team than balanced analysis. The same thing happens when a player has one bad game, "trade Al, Raja, Harris, Millsap. Gordon sucks, Favors has no offense, Kanter will never finish at the rim, Burks has no point-guard skills etc." Burks probably isn't a pure PG but was timid last night. He will imporve and could be a viable back-up.

He didnt do anything well. He showed no glimpses of being able to run point.

Either you have it or you dont. Ill take Harris at point over him any day

This is a ridiuclous thread. Blaming Burks for the loss? Maybe I watched a different game. And to say that point guards are born and the skills can't be learned. That can only be from someone who never played the game. Where is that "Instant Point Guard - just add water" kit when you need it?

Personally I think Corbin should just have played Tinsley 48 minutes.... then the Jazz would have run going away... Forget the fact that Ellis and Curry had their best games of the season together... by far. And Biedrins decided to rebound for the first time this season. If only Burks hadn't played PG for those 10+ minutes.... damn...

To me, as of right now, Burks is Deshawn Stevenson 2.0
Athletic, good handles, slasher, plays out of control, can't shoot a lick.

He's only a rookie so I'm still expecting him to grow and improve his game.

I like DeShawn, but I think Burks has a far better shot and better scoring skills than DeShawn showed as a rookie, and some of what you see as out of control I see as great quickness.
