Get the crows out for the korver haters

[Bawse Dawg]

Korver had more overall impact on a game for us tonight than Burks has all season.

He’s an okay player, but this is a better fit for both sides, and it’s so obvious that it’s not even worth debating.

He can redeem himself.

Here's how:

Jazz are in the finals. Korver is currently sitting with a finals record of best 3pt% for anyone ever, but by only one shot. Jazz are 2pts down with 15s to go, Korver gets the ball for a corner 3... and takes the shot.

That's it. I don't care if it goes in or not. I'll forgive him.

He'll never get the chance because Donovan will take a 35ft'er and miss it badly. I love Donovan, but he's still a chucker from deep. He needs to be less concerned with how many attempts he gets per game and more concerned with reducing the number of really bad shots he takes

If Bulletproof were in Cleveland he would have never forgiven Lebron for "The Decision." Probably would have booed him after Cleveland won the championship saying it was all Kyrie and James should just leave.

Considering the immediate results and the impact getting Crowder made for last year’s team. . . I’m amazed anyone still thinkis this was an overpay. Korver is the offensive equivalent of getting Thabo to tudor Mitchell, Ingles, O’Neale and Allen on offense. Two years of that could be a priceless investment.

Has Utah become Cavs West?
Too bad we didn't get that other Cav that left last summer. What was his name?

I like Burks, but 4-11 is pretty awful. He did get to the line 8 times which does negate some of that.

Still, Korver's line was much more impressive IMO.

Korvers field goal shooting line was more impressive for sure.

But imo 6 rebounds is better than 2, 4 assists is better than 1, zero turnovers is better than 1, 2 steals is better than zero. Oh and for what its worth burks was second on his team in plus minus and korver was 6th on his team in plus minus. Both players didnt commit a foul. Then there are the fouls that burks drew.

Im not hating on korver at all and the trade looks great for the jazz but burks putting up 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, zero turnovers in 26 minutes and only having a negative 3 while on court in a game they lost by 33 points is pretty damn awesome despite the 4-11 shooting. Which isnt pretty awful btw. It isnt good but it isnt that bad either. Add in the free throws and his true shooting percentage is actually fine for the game.

Burks isn't a great basketball player and he definitely isn't a specialist of any kind. He is a great human being but Korver helps us win ball games because he is a better basketball player and is a specialist.

Move on people.

Maybe. Burks has won us a couple of games this season though. Meanwhile crowder was on fire last night. Maybe you think simply having korver on he team mean jae will shoot 62% from the field and 60% from 3 for the rest of the season but i have my doubts.

I still do agree that is was a good trade for the jazz though and the right move to make.

The difficult thing is...Quin doesn't think that is a bad shot and encourages Mitchell to take them.

My last two posts probably come across a certain way and i want to clarify something.
I like the trade. Korver is likely better for the jazz than burks was and burks was leaving anyway. Last night the jazz, and korver, looked great.
Having said that someone correct me if im wrong. The jazz started off the game great and got out to a huge lead and korver was sitting on the bench. So all that spacing wasn't what got the jazz off to the hot start. Also, korver was a +3 last night which is great but was only 6th best on the team which tells me that the jazz were pretty good for the game when korver was sitting on the bench. So..... is it possible that we might have beat charlotte and played great last night if we never made the trade? I mean A: we have been pretty good on the road this year. B: Charlotte is not a championship contender type team. C: this is not the first win of the season or anything.

Im hoping that we go on a run similar to the end of last season but that was one game with donovan rested (and the team rested after having the previous day off) and crowder playing way above the mean against an ok but not great team that we won by 7 points.
Just to keep things in perspective.

The toughest part of our schedule is over with so going forward i would expect more wins regardless of the trade happening and im pretty sure that the trade will look fantastic partly due to the schedule easing up and partly due to korver being an amazing shooter and providing this team with a very important thing that we desperately needed.

Do I want the Jazz to win a championship in 2019?

**** yes, more than anything.

Did I want the Jazz to win a championship in 2010?

**** yes, more than anything!

Korver ****ed us hard in 2010. Hard. For his own benefit. At our expense.

He has a long *** way to go to earn my approval. LONG.

Complete rubbish. But I am sure your lack of approval is very concerning for him

 

[Shad]

Lol at people comparing Burks and Korver's game last night. 4-11 shooting and still getting blown out by 33 points is not good. Why isn't anyone comparing jae and hood from last nights games also? Lmao

 

[gomretat]

If Bulletproof were in Cleveland he would have never forgiven Lebron for "The Decision." Probably would have booed him after Cleveland won the championship saying it was all Kyrie and James should just leave.

The difference is, there are legit reasons for being mad at LeBron for the decision.

If I were a Cleveland fan it wouldn't be "the decision" that I wouldn't forgive LeBron for. It would have been when he basically quit in the playoffs the previous season. They were a #1 seed and LeBron (probably thinking about "the decision") flat out quit on his team. That's what I never would have forgiven him for.

Lol at you not understanding context and only looking at one aspect of the game. (While also apparently thinking one game is a good sample size)

Cavs lost by 33 and Burks was only -3 for the game.
Also I'm assuming rebounds, assists, steals, drawing fouls, and limiting turnovers (all things Burks did better than korver last night) are of no importance in the game of basketball to you.

And forget the fact that the jazz played great last night while korver was on the bench and played great in games earlier this year when korver was in Cleveland. (Jazz also were a top three team in the league for a large portion of last season while korver was in Cleveland. Burks was busy helping the jazz win a playoff series against okc at the time)

Lol indeed

And remember, I think it was a good trade for the jazz.

Good points. The jazz did start well, even before KK went in. It's possible they had a psychological boost knowing they had another shooter on the bench but they definitely came out strong.

Anybody see Jae's post game comments? He said he's been putting in a lot of work on his shooting and he hasn't lost faith in himself even though "you guys" (speaking to press) may have. Maybe that is paying off.

One thing I'm happy about after the fact is seeing that Ingles only played 24 minutes. Not having to overwork Joe, especially with his hand being a bit beat up, may be one of the best benefits of getting Korver.

F off. Burks isn’t garbage, you’re garbage, Burks is still a better player

Great point about Joe. He had been playing too much without a doubt. Korver should consistently help in that regard going forward.

Someone has to score, rebound, assist, etc.. on a team that's dead last in the NBA. Doesn't mean those players are good

Doesn't mean they are bad either. Pretty sure Korver was on a dead last team recently too and I think he is pretty good lol
