Can the Alec Burks experiment please end?

I like that step back chuck shot he had just inside the 3 point line. Solid decision, per par.

Yeah, that made me cringe, but he made it.

Burks has more assists if his teammates hit some shots..... Also I think that harden gets the ball in his hands and is asked to create more than Burks.
That probably effects what you are able to do assist wise.

In Quin's offense everyone is asked to create, why do you think you hear the phrase "play with the pass" so often?

Right. Harden only gets better numbers because he's asked to do more. That's the only reason.

Did I say only reason?
Was my post unreasonable?

I simply said harden plays a different role than alec.
I'm sorry for saying that and hope you can forgive me

Harden's numbers weren't better last night.

His impact was greater though...

Basketball box scores are total garbage when it comes to evaluating individual player performance/ability.

That's about all that Nick Young gets. Their impact on the game is about as equal as it gets, with the exception that Nick can take over a game and Alec never will.

Alec is a better decision-maker/off-ball halfcourt player. Ty probably deserves some (or even a lot of) credit for this.

Good point.

Based on?

FTR, I'm not looking at the box score.

Oh so this thread was made because Alec Burks isn't better than James Harden? Well now it is just a much, much worse thread than before.

I'm not looking at box scores. Burks even had a better Game Score.

This elicited a hearty belly laugh. How do you think Game Score is calculated?

Yeah and Favors wasn't even as good as that Howard guy... we should release them both.

For real though, why do some Jazz "fans" only focus on the negative with some of our players. I don't understand the blind hate... Burks scored 18 within the offense and was decent on defense. He also looked like he was in control and he competed on defense.

Burks did his part... can't put this loss on him.

The only person who has hated Burks on this thread is Franklin, everyone else is just discussing the game. Pretty everyone else being slightly critical of Burks still likes Burks, we just know his flaws (not being able to create for teammates). Trey, Gordon, and Derrick all rely on the offense running to get baskets, Burks may actually score better without the offense.

While I agree this was Burks most "within the offense" game, which is encouraging, but this was also the game were our offense was not running smoothly at all, which may have been why Burks was able to look like our best player.
