What's new

Trey Burke just tweeted this:

After his first disappointing game Sydney Lowe, assistant head coach nervously said while sweating profusely and clutching his rosary, "He's serious about getting better, and he's going to get better." He then threw salt over his left shoulder and screamed at the team ordering them that if a single soul stepped on a crack in the sidewalk it would be their last. The Summer League Jazz team then ran laps around leprechauns, 4-leaf clovers, and unicorns.

Cut to a couple days later when Trey Burke struggled again in his second Summer League outing Lowe could be heard muttering to himself, "There's no need to be worrying about Trey Burke right now," as he clicked his heels in his Red Ruby Slippers holding a lucky rabbit's foot. Relatedly, the team had three extra players on the roster who attended the second game who had good performances but they lacked heart, courage, and brains to make it in the NBA.

What the hell is going on?

Exactly, I don't recall anyone on here that didn't want Burke in the draft and yet so many jump off the wagon with a poor sl performance???!!! I wish our fans could wake up and "wait to see" on a guy before they decide to boo him at the draft or sacrifice them at the first sign of difficulty.

I wasn't on the Burke bandwagon to begin with. I like the kid a lot but I also had my reservations. However, I am not going to judge him on summer league or some tweets. I don't think he is a savior either. Some fans got all hyped because they didn't think he would be available and because of his wonderful tournament performance. So he was a little over hyped. I agree many Jazz fans take what players say or do too personally. I never get the booing before they play or when a player leaves they get booed. You wonder why some players don't like coming here and why the media thinks Jazz fans are mean. Unless some player rags on the city and organization, I don't see a reason for booing them. When Millsap comes back, I won't be surprised if he gets booed. I won't understand it but I won't be surprised.

I guess some people just love hate'n other people or they love worrying about how a player leaving or negatively commenting on the state affects the national perception of the Jazz and Utah. For those who boo, do you think that behavior helps the perception? Burke is 20 years old and has never even lived in the city so give him a chance and welcome him with open arms and support him when plays even if he plays badly. In the end we want him to be successful.
 
Guy could have a terrible opinion of the Jazz. Then spend 3-4 years here on a talented aggressive hungry team that is contending and he is very likely to stay. Give him time to get acclimated and comfortable.

Her twitter account says "Most Famous Porn Star" and she has nearly 500K viewers. She must be pretty good.

Lol, not for me. Just something about how she is packaged doesnt do it for me. Of course if she hits on me i'd give it up like a prom date. Just not my style.

Exactly. He needs to realize his awful SL play caused concerns with the fanbase. I don't care if his feelings are hurt. The guy gave the fans NOTHING to be positive about in Orlando. Well, I take that back, he did at least try to move his feet on defense. And his shots usually hit the rim instead of being air balls. Clark was fantastic, especially in that last game. We're looking for something positive and Ian provided that. Burke had 4 games to show something...anything, and failed. Let's hope the tweet gives him motivation.

Holy overreaction Batman!

Take a deep breath, have a cup of Joe, relax, and repeat, "summer league don't mean nothing, summer league don't mean nothing, summer league don't mean nothing, . . . "
 
Just to recap, here's what we know:

Trey Burke, sometime recently, retweeted a guy's statement about how he's more excited about Ian Clark than Trey Burke.

You are spot on with almost everything. There is no way Sap gets booed though.
He'll get the loudest ovation of former jazzmen we've seen in many years.
