Game #25. Jazz returns to Te land of wretched hovels. Jazz at Pelicans 12/16/14 6pm Mtn

Pity that Kanter is not enough involved offensively down the strech! Hayward, Burke and Burks always taking the last shots.

Glad Exum had a big game. Our young guys played pretty good too. Maybe they weren't use to leading by such a big margin going into the fourth. Right now I'm not sure who I want to keep on the team. I think Burke could be a great back up. Kanter has been playing really good. I think Burks would be better off on the bench, just because I'd rather have a great shooter at the 2. I hope Favors can show some better defense, because he just feels like a filler role player right now.

Burks is shooting 37% from deep this year. He has been one of the better players in the NBA in catch and shoot situations. Still needs to pull it a bit more often, but he is definitely getting better even though his leg kicks have me shaking my head.

One step closer...

Snyder was making offensive/defensive substitutions in the 4th with Gobert/Booker. The paint is just so clogged on our drives by our wing players when Gobert is in the game.

I don't agree with shaking too much the lineup down the stretch. Ok, Booker was playing well offensively but in my opinion Kanter and Gobert had to play the last 5-6 minutes and I would have kept Exum on the court at the end too.

I don't care if we win or not right now. I'd take the Jazz being significantly worse off offensively if it meant the doormat defense would stop.

Ok
But the poster I quoted was acting like the reason we are losing is because we are playing Burke and burks big minutes.

My point was that we are going to lose alot no matter who is in the line up

Oh babyyyyyyy!!!!!1 Just won the Grizz 2nd half with a meaningless bucket with 1.7 seconds left.

So you think we win a bunch of games if we give Burke and burks minutes to hood, ingles, exum, and clarke?

I don't want to see Ingles and Clarke. And yes, because they'd be passing to Hayward, Kanter, and Favors like the current starting guards should be doing, and they wouldn't be getting destroyed every time down the court on defense. Burke and Burks chucking and getting beat so bad on defense loses games.

edit: Did not read question carefully enough. I did not mean to imply Jazz would "win a bunch of games" by replacing Burke and Burks. I meant that playing them big minutes greatly increases the probability of us losing.

Heck, not even Hayward was involved much during the last 5 minutes. I got tired of watching Burks drive into the paint and chucking up air balls or getting his shot blocked.

Yeah I agree with that. I was just digressing.

 

[fishonjazz]

Dumbasses who root for losses. Yeah let's become a perennial top draft pick team and watch how our picks go to better pastures. I'd want my *** out of here to go to a team with a winning culture. This board doesn't cease to amaze me. Night losers.

But see the thing is, it's makes no difference if you, me, or anyone else on this board roots for wins or losses... it doesn't effect the team or how they play.

Might as well be happy that we will get a better pick rather than be pissed off

Gobert and Kanter needed some rest. It really hurts having Favors out.
