Yet he continues to start him and the Jazz continue to start slowly. i wonder if that has anything to do with playing 4 against 5 on offense?
Did Raja Bell blackmail the whole Jazz front office

The difference is playing Sixers at home and playing Spurs away. He is to young to get tired. That what sets stars from role players, they produce on the road and raise their game vs elite competition. Hayward is no star so why are you guys surprised?
He's lost it physically? This is enough for us to hate him and hope he dies. ****ing traitor!

Look our front office has shown that we aren't going to be loyal just to be loyal. They got rid of Memo and AK after all their years here. Well, Bell left us for greener pastures .... now it is time we put him out to pasture. He had his run. Don't you remember that this is a youth movement so where has Burk been?? He can't learn sitting on the bench.

Stats don't lie:
Raja Bell: 2.8 PPG in 19.8 MPG (11 total points). 29.4 FG% (5-17). 14.3 3PT% (1-7). 0 FT attempts. 6.7 points per 48 minutes
Alec Burks: 6.3 PPG in 6 MPG (19 total points). 61.5 FG% (8-13). 3-3 Free Throw 50.7 points per 48 minutes
Raja Bell is statistically the worst scoring SG in the NBA right now.

Lol, that's not a good argument at all. Burks is playing against garbage SG's and Raja against top level SG's.
But I do agree that Raja Bell is probably the worst starting SG in the NBA

You keep posting this, and yet the Jazz actually started out pretty well in the first three games, before falling apart. It hasn't been our starts that have been the problem, it's been the rest of the game.
Is that what we're reduced to? Arguing whether a player is the worst in the league, or simply ONE of the worst? He should not get a single minute of PT, it's as simple as that. Burks should be getting all of his minutes, even if Burks is yet to score a single point this season.

Why get in the lotto and draft guys high if they don't get any playing time to develop.

Read it again, I said Raja was statistically the worst scoring SG in the NBA. I understand the competition these players have faced is different, but the numbers are so completely skewed, it would be ridiculous to think that Burks would do the same or worse than Raja with his minutes. That is all I was trying to say, the stats prove the Burks can be more effective than Raja.

I'll be honest I would rather have Price back and starting at SG then Bell. At least Price would be noticeable the energy he brought would either hurt or help the Jazz but either way would be more entertaining then what ever it is that Bell is doing on the court. Let me recap I'm not saying I would like Price as a starting SG or that he'd be good just that he couldn't be any less productive then Bell.
