Hey did everybody forget Burks' clutch layup? What the hell...I thought there'd be like 20 threads about how he's now the star of the team and can lead us in clutch time.
The dude got mauled too on that play! Should have been an and 1... The kid is clutch and will be something special VERY soon.
Burks played an important role in the 4th quarter. He had 2 defensive rebounds, an assist and a lay-in when we needed it.
This isn't the D-Will Boozer teams, they weren't going to get any better. This is a new era of Jazz basketball. There are 4 lotto picks already on this team with lots of talent and potential, who have hardly began to tap into the high potential that they have. As they gain more experience and more minutes they will evolve into a very good team, unless they never learn to win as a team or lose confidence unlike the Jazz of the past 6 years this team hasn't reached their ceiling, not even close. This young team reaching the playoffs and being able to have success will help this team more then a lotto pick and becoming even younger and continuing to rebuild.
Seriously. We are watching this team achieve an identity. This is a very young team. A very new coach. The people that want instant gratification might want to take a look at the Simmons' article thread. What Utah is doing is building an atmosphere of winning within a team concept.
Corbin is doing a superb job.
After watching our meltdown in the 4th quarter against the kings, I see nothing to indicate that we aren't still a bad road team, and likely nothing more than an easy 1st round exit.
