Can the Alec Burks experiment please end?

So basically exactly what Burks did... Challenge the shot. Kobe took a fadeaway jumpshot and Burks challenged it quite nicely. Kobe is pretty good at those types of shots, not much more Burks could have done. Also, if you challenge kobe too hard its an automatic foul with the treatment refs give him. You just hope he misses.

I didn't know a turn around fader was a jump shot.
 
Fish, since you're giving free lessons...I have a question: Is a one foot shot the same thing as a layup?

If you are within 5 feet of the hoop and shooting underhand then yes.
If you are within 5 feet of the hoop and shooting overhand then it might considered a lay up, or a floater.

A one foot shot from three point land would not be considered a lay up however.
Hope that helps

Cool, I can't wait to see a 3 point layup someday...maybe Jeremy Evans gets more playing time this season with Dallas and pulls one off.
 
The experiment is over!

Burks is officially confirmed as a Bad A MFer!

Alec Burks was the best player on the floor for either team tonight, and beyond a few missed FTs, he played a stellar game. In the end, he finished with 27 points on only 14 shots, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. Burks had an easy time getting to the rim against the revolving door that is the Lakers backcourt, but made the right play while he was there. His 3 steals were also very valuable, and his hops on the final few possessions in regulation prevented Robert Sacre from getting the ball, allowing the Jazz the opportunity to tie it late. He was phenomenal.

Who the hell loops over the top that slow on a pnr? Yeah, Bollerhacl, it was a tough pass to toss an obvious lob to a guy completely unguarded with the strong side loaded up due to Buks' ineptitude.

Buks lost this game with his endless stupid mistakes. I bet they name him subway sub of the game to repair his ego.

Is this supposed to be a rip off of PFTcommenter?
 
Burks did really hurt us with that TO that led directly to 2 points. If that doesnt happen, the Jazz are up 1 on the last possession and get fouled, hopefully sending it to 3 points and forcing the Warriors to make a clutch 3.

He was great other than that though in the quarter.

So what? Hayward commits a ton of TOs with his lousy handles.
