Preseason Game #6: Jazz visits LA @7:30 PM on ROOT

[Doublea]

glad we lost this one, honestly.

Lol @ them bringing Kobe back in it midway through the 4th.

I s'pose this is how Blazers fans must've felt when we did the same thing to them in Portland.

Our offense with starers has looked good every game.

I agree.

I think that the starters offense in todays first half, and the Portland games looked as good as it has at any time so far.

I definitely thought the offense looked at its worst with Burks running things with the bench.

In conclusion. The offense looks terrific with a lineup of trey, alec, Hayward, kanter, favors and with exum, burks, Hayward, kanter, favors.
It looks horrible with Clarke, burks, jones/hood/felix, novak/evans, gobert/kanter.

So if that screams burks needs to come off the bench to you, then im good with that.

I'm afraid we will see many games as horrific as this one this year.

O-v-e-r-re-a-c-t-i-o-n!!! Glad to see most of you are putting this in perspective. Knew some would not and go overboard. Past seasons in this situation we would have lost by 25. It is true that most of our front line players were not being used and i applaud coach Q for sticking with his plan. Lessons to be learned from this, so i hope Derrick, Gordon and Trey were watching close and learned that this is what happens when you relax and start coasting. You could see the Laker defense start to stiffen and the effort level rise and the Jazz simply did not respond until the they were behind. Been waiting for this situation to arise and see how the response was. Tepid would be my assessment although we didn't have our three best (?) players on the floor. So not really demoralizing. Edgewriter and his ilk need to not be so reactionary.

Please don't edit out the important part of my post that says I think the offense has looked better in games without Burks and then say you agree with it.

IT does show a major flaw in our big man depth though. Booker goes out and we are forced to play Kanter or Novak too much and it exposes our defense.

I said that I agree that the starters have looked good in every game. I do.
Sorry?

The post you quoted of mine said this:

Our offense with starers has looked good every game. It has looked better without Burks so far, small sample size, but it is what it is.

The ball movement has been much crisper without Burks in the game and plugging in Hood instead.

Like I said, small sample size and Burks can learn how to play within the offense more, but right now, it has looked better with Hood

You deleted part of it and just quoted this:

Our offense with starers has looked good every game.

And said you agreed with it, making it seem like I think the offense has been on the same level of good every game, when it hasn't, it has been better without Burks, which I think has been pretty obvious.

 

[fishonjazz]

making it seem like I think the offense has been on the same level of good every game.

Sorry it "seemed" that way.

I was simply saying that I agree with your statement that the starters have been good every game. Then i put a few spaces underneath me saying that i agree and started a new paragraph talking about how i feel.... Which is that i think its weird to come to the conclusion that the team is better off with burks on the bench when so far this year under quin Snyder the team has played great when burks has been with the starters but played horribly when burks has been with the bench.

I think that the offense has looked amazing with burks playing alongside the starters and horrible with him playing alongside the bench. that's all.
agree to disagree i guess.

Wait.. so we lost to the 'embarrassingly awful' lakers that will likely 'not win a regular season WCC game?'

Lol

It's what happens when you play the UK product Enes Kanter big minutes

We've only seen one game and a quarter with Burks in the offense. Therefore I do not accept your evaluation of the team.
