Game 4: 11/3/2014 Jazz at Clippers. 8:30PM on ROOT

[fishonjazz]

There was 4 main problems I read around here(shooting accuracy, defense, driving, and shot selection) from people who questioned Burke's ability to be a big time player last season. He has corrected at least 2 (defense and driving) and really 3 because he's really not settling for bad shots like he did last season. The only thing he has to improve on is shooting accuracy. This past game there were some early defenses lapses, which lead to easy baskets, but he faced the leagues best PG and the Clippers run the PNR to perfection. Also he wasn't nearly aggressive. Not sure if that's because his shot isn't falling or because Hayward just increase his level of aggression that game. When you look Trey only took one jumper that was a bad 3 point attempt late in the shot clock minus that 3 at the end of the game. His other 3 attempts when the game mattered was from driving and the two he missed should have been called for a foul as he was contacted getting to the rim. Trey will have to be more involved and must be hitting shots. However it's seems a little one sided to ignore all the other 3 areas of concern he has improved on, but that seems to be the norm here.

Do you have a notepad with you when you watch the game?

I know you're not asking me, but I do for UK games.. but with the Jazz I just plain ol' watch the games.

I only watched the 2nd quarter last night, but looking at the stats the guy who really let us down last night was Favors. 6 pts, 3 rb? Come on, man!

Y'all should compare Burke/Burks notes.

No. All memory. It's easy to track a player when he's was as passive as Trey was last night.

Either way I stand behind my breakdowns of Trey's improvements from last year to this one.

Lol (that's why I said it)

Fwiw I didn't make a comment about Alec in this gamethread until page 22 (on tapatalk)

The fact that Exum is blowing by NBA pros as a teenager is amazing. His speed is elite.

Doc really wants a competent small forward...

Doc Rivers just said he has a man crush on Gordon Hayward for the last two years.

He said the same thing last year, pretty much.

The Jazz lost the game at the free throw line though with some key misses down the stretch.

Burks and Hayward were perfect at the line!!!

Lebron is also 1-4 in salt lake the last 5 visits.

Latest info is Dellavadova tweaked his knee and should be out against the Jazz... this might help us somewhat.

It might actually mean that Irving will play more... or that Lebron will play point forward... both of these I don't think will help us much...

It means we have a 2-0 australian advantage. Fair dinkum.
