Game Thread: Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavs 6:30 MST

[BYE]

Burks D is awesome. His only flaw is he gets picked too easy. 1-1 he is an absolute pest

He does get buried sometimes on screens, but also glides through off the ball screens very well. His opponents only shoot 28.6% off of screens and score only .53 points/possession off screens. In comparison, Dwyane Wade's man scores at 44.8% and scores .91 points/possession (good for 51st in the league) off of screens.

Agreed
That's why I want burks and Hayward to start. Not the upcoming bell Howard

Still waiting for Al Jefferson to break his "More shots than points" streak. Past five games:

@ Min: 20 shots, 18 points, 2 FTA
@ Sac: 14 shots, 12 points, 0 FTA
v Hou: 16 shots, 14 points, 0 FTA
v Mia: 20 shots, 20 points, 2 FTA (tied, still awful so included)
@ Dal: 12 shots, 11 points, 3 FTA

God-awful efficiency.

The sad thing is that he seems to have some many opportunists to draw contact on a lot of his moves, but just doesn't have any kind of natural drawing contact ability.

 

[The Norm]

He seems to avoid contact at all costs, on both sides of the court.

His defense never really stood out to me being bad today. He destroyed Haywood defensively every time he tried to post up, not that doing so is hard, but it's nice he stopped him.

Let the young guys close games, Ty!!! They get us back in and the vets can't finish. Game after game.

Some silver linings in this loss that I liked, Millsap had a good game, lots of burks mins--really liking his effort, Favors, good fight to get back in the game.

Dude, the vets did a great job cutting it to 5. The rookies did their part, but Sap was huge in bringing the lead back down to 5. Too bad that Burks didn't get the flagrant 1 call. That could have potentially been a momentum booster.

Yeah true, Sap is usually right there as well. I think he plays great with the 2nd unit too. I just wish Ty would ride the hot hand instead of making subs at about the same time every game, no matter how well they're playing.

My only complaint is that Jefferson plays far to deep into the 1st and 3rd quarter. He should be coming out at the 4 minute mark, then back in around 5 or 6 minutes left in the 2nd and 4th. That would give Kanter a solid 20 mpg.

Yep. How in the hell do you know anything about BB watching ******* Stansbury???

I really hope he is fired and that we kick Sidney off the team. The experiment has failed, time to give up. At least we won our last two games so we should still be in the tourney.
