Hopefully he's been working on that 3 ball.

It's happening! Tony Jones reporting he's officially available for tonight game! I really love Alec. There's something about the way he plays the game with reckless abandon and joy! I can't help but love him for it with all his flaws.

Go get them, AB!
 
Debating making my way out to Brooklyn for this one last minute. Only coz Burks is playing.


Still kinda sick tho and I'm already going to the Barclays in 12 days to see Badou "The Ripper" Jack and James 'Chunky' DeGale fight for the WBC and IBF Super Middleweight belts.

Hard to see Mack and Burks being a good match in the 2nd unit ,Mack dribbles too much and holds on the ball too long ...both working against what Burks does better .
 
Personally, I'd like to see the Jazz go more with a triple wing lineup w/o a true point guard. The Jazz have plenty of guys who can get the offense running and facilitate: Hayward, Hood, Ingles, Burks. While I think it's better to have a true point guard in the lineup, for certain streteches of the game, we don't need one. Assuming he's back in reasonable form, Burks appears to be an upgrade over Mack.

Every wing on our team dribbles the ball, and they all play w/ Mack better than any PG not named Hill.

No dispute there ,but no one creates offense one on one like Burks does. 2nd unit he will become the focus. I can just see everybody screaming get the ball to Burks during the game while Mack is dribbling looking for his shot,including you.
 
Calling it now, Burks has reinvented himself, and will now shoot a ton of threes at a rate of over 35% success, and will stop it with the mid range game, shooting basically only shots at the rim and threes. He will be super efficient, and okay passable defense, and even pass a little bit. He will get sixth man of the year consideration, even though he missed so much time.
