We will miss you.

Don't lie

Hahahahaha...Burks with the putback for Serp!!!!!!!

Nice for my fantasy team too

If the Jazz tank this year I am 100000000% done as an NBA fan.

If I was the NBA I'd force the owner of th 76ers to sell. They aren't even trying to hide the fact they are tanking two years in a row.

ARe people mad Burke took a clutch 3 attempt in the final seconds of a game? That is kind of his most redeeming quality.

Lol. I still remember everyone on here being pissed at Mo Williams when he hit a game winner against the Spurs. Only on jazzfanz.

Has the Jazz won a single game without Favors since he became a starter?

Playing the Jazz without Favors is like racing a paraplegic that doesn't have a wheelchair.

 

[fishonjazz]

So no one else is mad we didn't got to Burks a bit more down the stretch? Hayward was playing great too, but I just felt like the matchup favored Burks. Would have been cool to see him have a good game and win the game.

You may be right about tonight.

But even me, The Burks Homer, prefers trey or Gordon with the ball in thier hands at the end of a tight game.

Good thought though. It would have been cool if he won it

It will be interesting at least for a bit. The floor spacing would concern me, especially for someone like Burks who needs some space around the rim.

I would trade Favors and play gobert and Kanter together.get alot more in return out of Favors. trade Favors!

Damn, I'm out Burks'ing you tonight.

The offense seemed more fluid without Favors or am I wrong?

Though we missed his defense!

I noticed we outrebounded them by 9 as well. With the sample size you have to assume its just guys stepping up cuz they know they have a hole to plug.

@Lockedonsports: Nuggets shot 19 of 49 (38.7%)when Rudy Gobert was on the floor and 23 of 38 (60.5%)when he was on the bench #DENatUTA

Was he pissed at him?

If they can look at replays in the last 2 minutes they should look at fouls also. Jazz should have at least got the ball back after the foul by Lawson was seen clear as day on the replay.

Jazz got hosed.

 

[Crawlnstall]

Anyone have a clip of the flagrant foul on burks? They didn't show a replay at the game and I wanna see how bad it was

 

[Nate505]

Man these losses are becoming depressing. Mostly because the Jazz could have 3 or so more wins with just a few breaks going their way.

I don't have a replay.
It was pretty Damn brutal..... but imo unintentional. Afflalo went for the ball but Burks made a nice double pump and made it basically unblockable so afflalo hit Burks pretty hard right in the face.

Burks was pretty high up in the air and going pretty fast at the rim. Burks hit the floor really hard and was really lucky he wasn't hurt.

It looked about as bad as any foul you will see..... but like I said, it was not malicious/intentional imo

Also hated the technical on Briggs. That rule should be changed. Burks gets hammered on the head and goes to the floor. It's a flagrant 2. Trainer runs out to make sure he's ok and gets assessed a "T" for leaving the bench before he's officially summoned. That's a ***** call.

 

[Crawlnstall]

Some things I took from this game
Kanter seems to be the only guy that scores early in the game. For as much crap as he gets on here he's been playing pretty solid.
Burke played some poor D but played well on offense
Burks impressed me a lot. I'm a big burks fan and am glad he played well. Glad to see him attack the rim again
Rudy is a beast. It doesn't show in his box score but he's special. He's playing with fire too
Hayward was quiet at the start of the game when we needed him but played very well overall

And finally the refs were really bad. Every game I watch the refs are just awful.
But glad to see some fire in burks and glad he didn't get hurt

 

[GVC]

Kanter has to convert his offensive rebounds.

When he's on his third pump fake, and surrounded by three defenders, he might want to pass it out and reset the offense (although I recognize that turning down shots right at the rim is generally a bad idea).

Really? I thought this group did a pretty good job overall. NBA officiating has also gotten a lot better over the last two or three seasons IMO.

The only bad call was the no-call foul on Burke.

I thought the Hayward charge on Fahried was iffy at first, but the replay proved me wrong. It was a good call by the refs.

Same with the no call on Lawson's block on Hayward. He did indeed get all ball.
