The 1st controversy this season.. Neto/Hood starting over Burke/Burks

The triple question marks seem like an indication that he was not stating what he believed to be a fact -- but let's just agree to disagree.

I don't see any ?s on the thread title. Maybe that is the difference. I wonder why that is...

Here is what I see: " The 1st controversy this season.. Neto/Hood starting over Burke/Burks"
 
I don't view Hood starting as a controversy and Burke was intended to be the backup anyways.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Alec, but he is a straight up scorer where as Hood to me is a more all around player. As much as I like Alec, Hood to me gets the nod every time.

But how good will the defense be for the second unit with Burks and Burke?

No one that we have replaces Exum's length and defensive play at the point. So there will be a drop off in perimeter defense with his absence no matter who they throw out there unless Burks shows that he can guard point guards.

Mitigating that loss is the acquisition of two 7-footers to platoon with Gobert, which is something our team did not have last year. So even if there is a drop off on the perimeter, there will always be length and shot-blocking at the 5, even if they go small with Favors.

So even if our starters are not as good on D, our second unit may be improved. It is still possible that we have the personnel to be a top-5 defense this year.

SALT LAKE CITY — Less than 24 hours before his team tips it off in its 2015-16 NBA regular-season opener, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said he still wasn't quite ready to announce his starting lineup.

"No, not yet, for all the same reasons we've kind of discussed," Snyder said Tuesday afternoon following his team's practice session at Zions Bank Basketball Center in preparation for tonight's season debut on the road against the Detroit Pistons. "We've got a chance to look at different groups and different combinations the last few days, which has been good. I think we'll obviously make that decision between now and game time, probably sooner than later.

Interesting points, but I have a couple of burning questions for you. Did you eat Al Gore's unborn grandchildren? Are you still hungry? Are there any other politicians or future potential politicians who you'd be willing to eat?

Eating a politician is rare because those folks don't mix with commoners such as myself. Eating their children is even more difficult, and getting access to the unborn is a feat (or treat) that even the most adroit cannibal must work very hard to achieve.

That being said, yes I would be willing. You hook 'em, I'll cook 'em.
