The Chapel of Black Jesus Burke

[Jazz Spazz]

I appreciated Burke's shooting inside the 3pt line lately, it has come in times that we needed a bucket.

His defense was adequate, and he should get some credit. This team defense is absurdly good, and he is part of the team. I haven't noticed the breakdowns that get bigs into trouble the last couple of games, but in all honesty I haven't watched for it very closely.

I have noticed that Neto seems to play good defense and gets after it.

Not the thread for this, but just a few games in and it seems Hayward, Neto, Booker, Millsap are all having a hard time making buckets at a good rate. Mainly I just hope it's not a slow start for Hayward ala a few years ago.

In my opinion Burke played last night one of his best games with the Jazz uniform.

Dala, I assume you will bump this when Burke starts another dumpster fire?

3 back-to-back games over 50% from the field, first time in his career.

Good, can he make it 4? 5? 6? Man I hope so. Team still needs to vastly improve from 3.

If you remove his two half court heaves Trey numbers are 53%fg 40%3pt 100%ft. It's four games in, but that's damn good.

Did his hobag of a mother make any childish tweets last night about how the world, and white people especially, hate Trey?

How's his defence and basketball smarts and overall court impact going ?

All much more improved. He did well guarding Lillard the few chances he got. Lillard was just in a zone. Burke defensive improvements to me overshadows his offensives improvements. Plus he is making some great passes, guys just aren't making shots which you expect will get better.

No doubt. Trey Burke's steal which led to a clear path, and his three-pointer which extended Jazz lead to 4 were also a lot bigger than what they'd appear on the box score. Booker has been pretty meh early on, but tonight he did exactly what I'd love to see every game.

What a fantastic, gut-check win for the Jazz. Kudos to Trey Burke who gets the game ball in my opinion. He made several big time plays tonight.

How in the hell is it that Burke finally found his shot and everyone else lost theirs?

If you are currently singling out and criticizing the play of Trey Burke, you have serious issues.

He broke his >50% FG streak but still got 12 points on 12 shots (made good plays down the stretch)
