Can the Alec Burks experiment please end?

[Hantlers]

Harden's numbers weren't better last night.

Holy **** man.

His impact was greater though...

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

One thing I noticed is that the refs weren't bailing Harden out on his drives to the basket like they often do. Another set of officials might have awarded him 12-15 free throws last night.

I think everyone can agree that harden is the overall better player than burks. However burks played well last night on a tough defensive assignment. Getting harden in foul trouble with the offensive fouls was huge. Burks is good. Give him time with Snyder and we what he can do.

I don't think any intelligent poster is saying Burks played poorly. He didn't. He just didn't play as well as Harden, which is expected. Nothing wrong with that.

Can we please make this thread about Kwame Kanter™?

Exactly. If the argument is who is the better player - two-time all-star James Harden or Alec Burks then you got to feel pretty good about where AB is at this point in his career.

E. J. you have issues!! Please take them somewhere else. Jazz fans are homers? Well, stop the presses! The word Fan implies that. No doubt you are a homer for whatever team you actually do like as fans all over the world are for their favorite team. You are for sure not the brightest kid in the kindergarten!

I've been saying it for three years now. He is C.J. Miles, version 2.0, and that is being generous.

Want to lose the game? Make sure number 10 is on the floor. Want to make the opposing guard look amazing? Make sure number 10 is guarding him. Want to see a whole bunch of ill-advised, quick, low percentage shots? Make sure that number 10 has the ball in his hands. Want to see un-assists? You know the drill. Ya, I said un-assists.

I wouldn't stuff Alec Burks up my *** if I had room for a Volkswagon, and neither should you.

Bro... after the first game, it's the Hayward experiment that needs to end.

Offense is stagnate when Alec plays. Replace him with Booker and boom offence spring to life. I thought Alec is spose to become spark plug off bench what happened to him?

Booker should start Alec need to stop taking minutes away.

Most of all I liked his effort, but he still allowed penetration.

Is this talking about the Volkswagen again?

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Well he has no jailhouse tats.

Burks has more assists if his teammates hit some shots.....

So, we give him a pass because he was guarding The Beard. Now we're giving him a pass because his teammates can't hit shots? What's next? We give him a pass because the jumbo-tron is reflecting off the floor and backboard, thus making him miss more? Lucifer, save me.

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.

No. I think the point of this thread was made in the first post. For funsies though, name a starting SG that is worse than Burks. (That isn't starting only because of an injury)

I don't think any intelligent poster is saying Burks played poorly. He didn't. He just didn't play as well as Harden, which is expected. Nothing wrong with that.

Except that is exactly what I'm saying. You are all missing the stuff that did not show up in the box score. You guys saw that we lost a very winnable game, right? He does not improve the team, regardless of how many points he has.

E. J. you have issues!!

Indeed I do. Field & Stream, Fly Tyer, Ultimate Grappling, Time, and Hustler.

Please take them somewhere else.

Where would you suggest? Perhaps an online sports forum is the wrong place to discuss things like this. The Homers of the world don't like to go into the rabbit hole, dance around it, or even think about it, so perhaps you're right. All is well, Nero!

Jazz fans are homers? Well, stop the presses! The word Fan implies that. No doubt you are a homer for whatever team you actually do like as fans all over the world are for their favorite team.

I'm a Jazz fan. I'm not a homer.

You are for sure not the brightest kid in the kindergarten!

No argument there.
