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

[fishonjazz]

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

And during that time the offense has been amazing. What was the score at the end of the first quarter tonight? The same quarter that burks didn't miss a single shot, while taking advantage of playing with better teammates.
Then while playing with inferior teammates he began to struggle.

And the Portland game we won by 19 with burks leading the team in minutes.

I have noticed that when burks plays with Hayward and favors he doesn't force shots up as much and takes much better shots.... therefore shooting a higher percentage and playing more under control.

When he plays with bench players he feels the need to force shots and be the man and has a worse shot selection.

The 1st game the Blazer's weren't trying at all.

This game was vs. the Lakers, who have most of their starting lineup injured and are the Lakers.

The offense still looked better with Hood going vs. a full effort Clippers team.

I agree with that.

Still have not seen the starters suffer due to Burks playing with them though. Quite the opposite. I'm excited to see this team healthy and ready to go in the regular season!

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

Oh goodie.. back to the coach's fault thingy.

and lol at bringing up UK.. cuz there's no chance UK would get an ounce of credit if he started turning out 20/12 games.

Hayward should not start at the 2. Exum needs Haywards help not necessarily Burks. I think we will see quin run the rotations so that exum does play a lot of his time with Hayward. Hood also complements Exum's game well. A Burks and Exum back court would have defenses just clog the lane. 2 penetrators whos shooting isn't where it needs to be. Lastly Burks is a good fit for Burke and Hayward. He is going to draw an athletic quick defender which will give the other 2 better matchups.

Ya, burke, burks, hayward are a very good 1,2,3 punch and compliment each other pretty well.... as long as Burks doesn't chuck. (Which he has not so far when playing with those guys).

Also hood starting would get killed on the defensive end, mostly due to refs not giving him any help at all

I don't think Hood would get "killed" on the defensive end. Might struggle due to the reason you cited, sure, but killed is a bit harsh. He's had nothing but incredibly difficult assignments thus far this preseason.

Killed was probably harsh.... but I mainly said that because the refs will screw him over. He fouled out so fast last game

Burks has improved quite a bit imo. My biggest knock on him would be that he is still having a tough time fighting through picks but at his size that's probably always going to be an issue.

I went to the game and Ronnie Price was everywhere on the court--charges, assists, drives. A combination of playing against the Jazz and trying to make the Lakers' squad led to one of his best games on both ends of the court. I hope he makes the LALs and actually gets some minutes behind Nash and Lin.

In the first gif Hayward and burks were both wide open for threes. Does that mean exum went "rogue?" jk, great play by exum
