It's pre-season, it has more to do with taking. I assure you Snyder wants Burks taking more 3's.

There was literally a play where Leonard was guarding Burks and Burks was as the 3pt line. Burks takes 1 dribble in to shoot a 22' foot 2 point shot. Granted he made it, but why not just take the 3?

I agree with you, he should have taken the three, but the fact is they were sagging off everybody in that situation other than maybe Ingles.

Okay, but again, they were sagging off knowing chances were very much in their favor that Hood and Hayward - and Burks - weren't going to knock them down. The point is, they weren't discriminating against Burks in that respect.

The point is our wings have to be ready to shoot and to shoot it with confidence. Just because you miss a couple early doesn't mean to stop taking them.
 
Bobby Portis with 20 pts. and 11 rebs. Shot 8/12. In all fairness he got a lot of that against Ryan Andersen, but still...
 
Portland was packing the paint all night. Even when they weren't playing zone, they may have well have been. They weren't guarding shooters at the top of the key, let alone the 3-pt line.

Maybe it does mean that - dude had pretty good success getting to the rim and scoring or drawing fouls. You do what hurts the other team and helps you win and will lead to success. The alternative is to keep jacking like Hood and Hayward did and kill any case chance your team has.

I mean, why would any team defend us any other way?
 
I wonder if the Jazz just practiced hard today. It's a bit odd for everyone to be off like that all on the same night.

Hayward 3/15
Hood 3/12
Favors 2/11
