The Chapel of Black Jesus Burke

[fishonjazz]

srsly　tho. Where the **** are my haters at? That's TWO back to back >50% FG games for Black Jesus.


Come out the woodwork, roaches.

I'm here. Smiling at his good play so far.
It's weird but when trey sucks i talk about him sucking (which is most of the time) and when he plays good I talk about his good play.

Because he sucks way more than he plays good I appear to be a hater. My haterism is treys fault I guess

He made some good plays tonight, but he was still inconsistent. He kept losing Hill, who drained several 3's when he did. Also, he forced some things and made turnovers that resulted in easy buckets for the Pacers. The play where he stole the in-bounds pass was the best play he has made this season -- it seemed to demoralize the Pacers. It seems, however, that he plays his best when he is not under control, which is not good for the team. It does result in some good plays but also, and more often (this game not so much), results in bad plays.

I'm still here as well. I'm glad he had two good games in a row. But it'll take more than that to get me on board as him as a good back up.

But as said before, I want him to succeed as that is good for the Jazz. I just don't know if he will and I have been pretty critical of him.

Make me eat crow Burke. If you can.

lol Burke was rock solid tonight. 15 pts 3 boards 3 dimes, and 2 steals. Please stop with the hater glasses. Hes not a great defender, but hes put us into position to win the last 2 games.

Kinda think they should be starting Burke and Burks.. Been on the fence about this since the lineups were announced. In game one - being on the bench seemed to have a negative effect on Trey....

I'm usually a proponent of 'strike while the iron is hot', seems like one of those typa deals. Plus I always said if Trey starts the first 20 games well, that could be worth a ton of wins - I'd give him a shot

I love it when guards steal other guards dribble straight out of their hands, and thats what Trey did to Monta last night, was one of my favorite plays in the game

This is the appropriate position for any doubter of Trey Burke ( or anything for that matter). The problem I have are with the obvious illogical hate for a guy who was 2 years into his pro career.

I'll admit it when I see it: absolutely great game from Trey. Maybe the best I can remember.

Stats don't tell the whole story. Did you read my post about point differential between Neto who scored 0 and Burke who scored 15. Neto was + 17, Burke + 4. The team plays much better with Neto, because he plays under control and distributes better. Trey often plays out of control, that is his personality, and that's when he's at his best, but it's not that way for the team. If there was a way to harness that and take advantage of that, and Burke could play like that while being cognizant of hitting the open man, then it might work. In other words, have Trey play with good 3-point shooters like Hood and Ingles so that he'd have options to kick out the ball to them.

Plus or minus on a one game basis isn't really a good stat to measure impact by a player. Especially considering Neto starts so most of his mins are with the better players.

The most important part of my post was the way they play, Neto in control and Trey out of control. This is what Trey needs to harness. I think it also is part of the reason he screws up on defense; because of his mercurial style on offense, he loses focus on defense. Neto is focused and under control, which is what you want from a point guard, from a quarterback, from an extension of the coach.

Hood had been our best wing so far this season. Neto has been stellar defensively, and at passing. Neither Burke or Burks has done anything to start over those guys so far. Hood and Neto compliment the starters while Trey and Alec don't, They are both far better suited as scoring options off of the bench.

We could have beaten the 76ers with Jimmer/nobody at PG. And Trey was horrible against Detroit. I missed the Indiana game but will say that it sounds like he had a great game. I hope he continues doing that. His shooting is not even what I care most about with Trey, though it's great when he shoots better than 45%. But his defense is a real problem, he can't stay in front of very many backup PG's in the NBA, let alone starters.
