What's funny is that giving Burke a D is being generous.

We forgot to grade 2 people.
Booker (F) - Jackass suspended in a preseason game...geesh....
Synder (C-) - Regardless of how we got there , we were down 1 with the ball and 17 seconds left. On the road you always take the last shot there or at worst a shot with 1-2 seconds left for a tip. That ball should have been in Haywards hands for a drive or dish. Not a pull up jumper by Burks with 8-9 seconds left. Even if Burks nailed it we would have lost. DUMB DUMB DUMB

These are some really poor grades! I thought guys played a lot better than that. For instance, Hayward's defense was really good. Neto played really really well for his first NBA game. Hood and Burks kept the Jazz in the game with their scoring. Joey Crawford gets an F- and should retire immediately.

I haven't had a chance to rewatch the play yet but I don't think Neto should have gone over the screen. Reggie Jackson isn't exactly a knock-down 3 point shooter and we were having trouble keeping them out of the paint.

I'll give two grades:
1. Snyder: C-
I don't know why you don't use a defensive unit in the last 24 seconds. Sub out Alec and Hood. Put in Millsap and Johnson. Plus, his team was NOT ready for the Pistons to take a quick shot. Caught totally off guard.
2. Jazzfanzers who thought we shouldn't sign a legit piece in Free Agency: F
It's bloody obvious to me that we are one player short of a well-stocked roster. That's all I'll say about that.

Well, right now it does look like management has fooled themselves about TB too. That was horrible last night and all the happy talk about improvement is not looking good right now. Early yet, but still.

I think an F would be generous.
Fitting though - it was about this time last year when I started looking at Burke in a different light.
Utah played in Detroit and Burke acted like a complete jackass after a Jazz win because he played horribly in his homecoming game.
This performance was even worse.

You're Right.... Burks and Hood have the Same 3pt% after the first game of the year. Burks just didn't shoot it 7 times.
They looked a little off. Probably because they haven't played a game in a while, unlike the Pistons. I bet they look a lot different tomorrow.
I can't get behind Burks trying to do it all by himself at the end of games. He was great but we need ball movement.

Good is supposed to be our knockdown shooter so it's warranted.
If anyone other then just Neto, the guy who is billed as our worst none big shooter could hit a three there is a much different outcome. We need to trade for 3 of specialist. I still remember the impact Korver made the moment we traded for him.
Lol. I gave him a Z
Hayward C+ I expect more from him on both ends of the floor.
Burks B He has to play more team basketball.
Hood B- He played a good game overall.
Favors A- Outstanding game. A little passive offensively down the stretch.
Gobert C+ He is not yet the Gobert we were used to admire last season, especially defensively.
Neto B+ Being his Nba debut he played a solid game. He has to dish more assists.
Burke D I think not being in the starting lineup demotived him.
Elijah Millsap C- I’m still convinced he is not an Nba player.
Ingles C He didn’t do much. The Jazz bench needs more skilled players.
Lyles no vote.
Quin B- Winnable game. He sat the starters too long in the 4th quarter. He could prepare better offensive schemes in the last minute.
Burks B He has to play more team basketball.
Hood B- He played a good game overall.
