What's new

jazz is at -4.5, blazers at +4.5 in Bovada

I know this has been discussed in length but what I've been seeing, I think that Hood should be the starter. I'm one of the biggest Burks fan but he just isn't as good of an off-ball player as Hood. For example, there were many instances in the 1st quarter where Hayward (or someone) would create an open 3 look for Burks that he would either miss or pass up to drive into a crowded lane with Favors and Gobert. Hood is (probably?) a more reliable spot-up 3 point threat. Burks has tremendous playmaking and scoring ability that would be great with the second unit with a little more spacing.

I'm not watching the game but if Burks was indeed doing this he should be demoted immediately. Passing up 3s, putting your foot on the line in your 5th year is completely unacceptable.
 
I'm fine with it. As long as they are in striking position for the playoffs in the last week.
If they win 45+ games and just miss the playoffs then I can live with that.

The west is tough

Sounds like a lifeboat of reason in a sea of overreaction.

This isn't anything new.. it is just who Burks is. And it's not necessarily a bad thing. He is a fantastic slasher and finisher, it just makes more sense to capitalize on his ability with the right lineup.
 
Gobert just got called for a foul cause a dude stepped on his foot
