Utah Jazz @ New York Knicks 5:30pm Mountain Time *Official Game Thread*

[The Thriller]

I love this. I really want Jabari.

On the flip side, why don't we experiment a little? Big lineups with favors and Gobert? Small lineups with JL3, Diante, and burks? Hayward at the 4? Evans at the 3? Play Burke and Diante at the same time? What's the worse that can happen? We get blown out?

We should go on road trips more often.

Biedrins and Kanter sounds good too....

I might be starting to think there is something to what Thriller is saying about Burke. I'm not jumping on the band wagon yet, but I'm looking at seats and inspecting the itenarary.

This year is about two things.

1. Evaluating the players on the roster - being done.

2. Get a high draft pick.

Now having Ty as the coach can accomplish #2 without compromising #1. I would be stunned if Ty is back next year. Jazz where never going for the most wins possible this season.

Keep to the road. patience.

i dont think evaluating has been done.

we dont know what trey burke is capable off.
or how kanter would do as a starter.
how hayward would be without hayfense.

or if favors and kanter could start together(dont count the first 15 games

I am happy we are playing our worst ball of the year at a critical time. I think we finish sixth, which gives us a decent shot at moving up and keeps us close enough to trade up if we need to.

 

[orangello]

So everyone is happy, right?

I am!

Kanter, Hayward and Alec played ok. Ty forgot he can call timeouts again. Derrick and Trey played bad.

So did Marv and RJ.

Burke looks really good because the only other options shouldn't be in the NBA. CJ Watson outplayed Burke.

My god!! Is Burke ever going to play pg?!?! Why does he think he's a good shooter. We should've drafted the Greek freak. The way this guy shoots and as many minutes as he plays he should be doing better. I like him less every game. Maybe I'm overreacting, but he still refers to himself as scoring pg. dude is 6ft tall and not a great athlete. If he wants to be relevant he needs to stop playing like he's AI and become a pure pg.

You are definitely overreacting. Point guards for one struggle in their first year, especially one on a bad team. Plus he's only been playing in the NBA for like 4 months, give him some time, goodness.

Do you think Milwaukee would trade GA for Burke straight across?
