We really just need some shooters and we need to improve our entry passes. Way too many times we are unable to get Favors the ball quickly even when they're putting some scrub like Crowder on him.

If we can do those two things I think we can win a lot over the next few years, and it's not like those are impossible to do.

I liked Hood for the most part again tonight, his ability to create offense is really valuable and as he gets more comfortable that should only get better.

Yep...unless Snyder and Lindsey are willing to trade Trey and bring in a vet. Then have Dante either come off the bench or come out after 6 mins. of the 1st/3rd. Exum needs to hit 35% or above on his 3's to get minutes. Otherwise, no matter how good he is offensively, he's too much of a liability on the offensive end (kind of like Boozer or Big Al in reverse).

The one GOOD thing to remember is Alec has no problem being aggressive and driving to the hoop, which is what we'd like Dante to do. So essentially, Burks could be our PG with Dante as the SG. But it still comes down to Exum being able to hit shots.

We need outside shooting badly. I'm wondering how the offense is going to look after Burks comes back with Gobert and Favors down there. Not much space for a guard who is a slasher

But isn't that what we want Dante to be? The only knock on Burks may be that he won't pass when he gets inside.

Wouldn't mind having one in the starting lineup and one off the bench. Dante, Hayward and a knockdown shooter/scorer. Burks off the bench with a PG who can shoot the ball and a rock solid wing defender at the 3.

I want both guys to knock down the open 3 so they can play off the ball. I haven't seen much of Burks with Favors and Gobert on the floor (thanks Corbin!). Next season is going to be interesting. Perhaps Favors keeps improving his mid range game and Gobert develops a reliable 10 footer. We need better shooting from every position, but mostly from our guards. Tonight shooting was painful to watch.

It would be interesting if we had a high volume shot/point creator like him. With our defense we can support one of those types of players and even if they are a bit inefficient sometimes it would likely be better than our offense looks now.

Also our guys had tired legs... It was pretty apparent. We got no 50/50 balls tonight.

Really? I don't like Thomas' game at all. He can't play defense and he just shoots so much, I'm pretty sure he's not a great teammate either seeing how he's been traded and his first team didn't keep him.

I wish we had a player as quick as Thomas with a higher basketball IQ. Maybe this will be Dante in a couple of years.

All I know is after hearing Harp bitch about his carrying the ball constantly I know how to have great dribble moves - carry like a **** on every single one. That dude is seriously putting his hand directly under the ball on every single dribble.

It's officially confirmed that the Utah Jazz struggle against weaker teams. Some kind of a mental issue there.. Well, we have a lot of time to find out why.

I'd like t o see Exum go down to the Dleague for two weeks and tear some people up. Hes lost right now, and needs a boost.
