Snyder is doing a great job with what he has to work with. This roster really is garbage.

He was a home run hire - and not having Burks (and even Hood) has been a gaping hole. We knew a lot of the youngsters would still be developing. Next year will be a critical one. Anything under 41 wins will be a disappointment. The key will be Trey either figuring it out, or Exum making monumental strides in terms of strength/skill. The former is more likely, but I'd imagine we bring a proven PG in in the offseason regardless.

Trey Burke at +19. So there ya go. . .

Drawing anything from unadjusted +/- from a single game sample size is pretty silly. There are so many variables that go into it, perhaps the biggest of which in tonight's game being that Burke was playing heavy minutes against one of the worst benches in the NBA.

What are you arguing here, exactly? That when the PnR breaks down and Trey has a man on him, Snyder still wants him to shoot a contested shot?

I don't think Snyder would be criticizing Trey for forcing shots if he was also telling him to force shots.

Man on him? Almost every shot Burke took out of the PNR was wide open.

The argument is that we all know how the Blazer's play a pick n roll. They drop their big back and give up the midrange jump shot. In crunch time they did this while playing tight perimeter defense, pretty much forcing the Jazz's hand into midrange jumpers. Trey had been hitting them most of the night. Snyder must have liked that shot because it was the easiest shot to get throughout the game since it was always there. If he didn't want that shot to happen, he shouldn't have been calling that play because that is what that play had resulted in for most of the game.

What's funny is that I keep forgetting this, and have confidence in this team, that is, I really don't fear any match-ups any more outside of the refs' prima donna calls.
 
YOO we almost beat the Blazers on the ROAD!?!?!?!?


Holy **** this team is gonna be good soon. Like real, real soon.

Yeah, he played really well for most of the game. The Burke hate can get kind of ridiculous. He helped keep us in the game for the most part. He wasn't good to end it, but people are acting like he was awful the entire game.

He gets hated on because the dumb plays are sooooooooo dumb and selfish, and his D is godawful it's almost like he hands the other team points. He does do a lot of good things too.

And Hawyard was -3

Yet he had 27 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, on 10/16 shooting and only 1 TO.

+/- is such a ****ty stat for evaluating individual player performance.

Trey did his job and did it well. The problem tonight is that we asked him to do Exum's as well, and he didn't have that in him this time.
 
The best player on the floor(Lillard) took over the game. That's basketball. Srsly we can't be mad about that performance.
