I miss his attacking.

It almost seems like he has been told not to attack and instead to shoot long jumpers.

Has zero free throw attempts

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Kind of a danger zone right now.

Google > copy > paste

 

[yamers]

letting them back in now...

 

[MT Steve]

We need a timeout like 10 possessions ago.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Christ Burks, pass the ball in pls.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This is what happens when you take Hayward out.

 

[yamers]

I hope exhaustion takes its course soon now.

they are on a back to back losing would be terrible

There were a couple possessions where it looked like he should have kept going. Also took the worst shot of the game.

Or it's like teams have actually scouted him after his first year of actually getting consistent minutes.

 

[Bodhi]

Has Burks been garbage all game?

 

[yamers]

burks is taking too many jumpshots...

he needs to go hard to the rim

 

[MT Steve]

Has Burks been garbage all game?

No, but he's had an awful 3rd quarter.

 

[fishonjazz]

Yep
It's almost like he is trying too hard to be unselfish and trying too hard to run the offense sometimes.
It will take him some time to adjust his game.... this system is not made for him and he is trying to get comfortable I think.

They are not stopping his drives so much as Burks is changing his game on his own (probably been told to change)
