GAME 1: Little Ricky's journey to the playoffs -- Jazz @ Thunder 4/15/18 4:30 pm MST

It’s really not a bad idea to give Burks some minutes and see if he’s hot, especially if Ingles is being denied playmaking opportunities by their D. Burks can get his own shot, no one else but Mitchell really can. If he stinks just yank him back, you usually know right away if Burks is on or not.

Alec Burks better play over Royce O’Neal in Game 2.

I guarantee you he won’t. He won’t play unless due to injury, fouls, or garbage time.

We are not roasted, but jazz have to figure out how to handle physical games better. Portland got up into jazz players and it worked again tonight. Jazz just need to adjust, and attack a bit more on defense

I’m not opposed to giving him a chance. But to suggest throwing the season out the window and looking at the last two minutes of garbage time as a sign of how good Burks is, is dumb beyond belief. We need to go to O’Neale off the bench. After 3-4 minutes, if he really struggles to make an impression, then sure, put Burka in.

Eh, Paul George needs to play like he normally does.

Reason Rudy pulled on Adams is cause Adams was pushing him in the back

They could legit call almost all the fouls they tagged Rudy with on Adams every damn play. I also found it odd they reviewed the in bound play foul on crowder but Rubio got elbowed in the face at least twice by Westbrook and no one bothered to check for a tech or flagarant.

OKC didn’t miss though and that’s why we lost. I don’t think they shoot like that again... who knows.

It was impressive what Burks did there, but that's not what you want to see in the regular flow of the game. Burks running and gunning will shoot you out of a game more often than it carries you through one.

You're missing the point. Burks offers at least some offense, while Royce doesn't.
 
I'm very glad for Burks. He has to be in the rotation, we need his offense. Give some minutes to Udoh and Neto too.
It seems to me Ingles has not the playoff intensity. Royce O'Neale is getting too much consideration.
 
We needed a little more shot creation and i literally don’t think they can shoot better than that.
