July 9th, Summer League Game 2: Jazz vs Rockets 1:00 PM MT

One the main qualities a player needs to be great is "having the ability to self-evaluate and know what to do/change for the future."

You can just see it in his eyes when he speaks that he's sincere about figuring things out and you just believe it when listening to him talk.

I'm excited simply for that aspect of Burke's game... it's almost as if he knows he's destined to succeed. I really like that about him

Can't wait for this next game! Woo!

Anyone know if Burks will be playing this game???


Or any update on Burks' injury?

I don't believe the injury was bad at all, but I doubt he'll play in many more games. He's going into his 3rd year and proved himself.

@utahjazz: Alec Burks (left ankle), Tony Gaffney (right adductor) & Jerel McNeal (right knee) are all doubtful vs Houston tomorrow. #JazzSummer

That's also coming from Bill Oram though, who is less knowledgeable than Raul Neto's father about the Jazz organization.

So now mambo starts posting again...hmmm..interesting.

This is my only account is youre thinking otherwise. Im always reading what you knuckleheads have to say but now im actually interested in the teams well-being enough to come outta my hiatus of not posting

Interesting to see how Burke does in game two... my prediction was he would start to stand out in game 3.
Both Rondo and Wall told me the first couple games were an eye opener to the size, strength, and speed and they had to settle in and get comfortable with their needed adjustments.

Thinking the Jazz wanted Alec to play as many minutes at PG as he could. Doubt he returns for this game.

Alec clearly seemed like he didn't belong at the summer league. Looked like a pickup game for him. I don't expect him to be back, coaches should recognize that he doesn't have much to gain from participating and rest him to prevent any injury from worsening.

sl mvp did a lot for his confidence last year. he was scoring at will. if he is going to be a top-3 scoring option this year, while i agree that it is more importnat that the injury doesn't worsen, he should be out there dropping 20+

Alec Burks on the court helps Trey Burke. It always helps to play with players who know where to be, have the timing and rythym down and are confident and capable.

Don't think so. I think they want to give Trey the lions share of minutes at PG so that they can evaluate him early and get him as much experience with the "system" (ironic quotes because, you know, Ty is coaching) as possible.

Pretty sure Alec is there so that Trey can learn how to assist a strong wing, with Gobert/Evans taking the Favors/Kanter roles. Given Alec's ankle and Evans' sub par play, looks like Trey's going to need to rely on Merry Christmas though.

Edited to add: What mellow said.

 

[Flc]

I need to find a way to get over the fact that I desperately want the Jazz to win the Summer League championship.

Here are the standings thus far if anyone is interested, as of last night:

On the Jazz facebook page they posted a picture of the team finishing their shoot around earlier today.
Alec Burks was in uniform. Not sure why he would have dressed if he wasn't ready to go.

All you **** suckers that don't have to work better keep updating this thread often for us poor ******** that are working to pay for your unemployment and welfare and whatnot.

Raul Neto is in uniform and will be playing in this game vs Houston

 

[BTP]

Awww YEAH finally able to see my guy Tony Gaffney in a couple of minutes. I'll be over the chatbox instead of spamming f5 s2pidly over a thread. C U there

OKC beats Detroit. Reggie Jackson sets a new record for most points scored in Orlando - totally nuts. Unfortunately, that means they're 3-0 now, which is going to make it more difficult for us to catch them in the standings, unless we totally dominate this game. Assuming we go 3-0 as well, we'll advance past them, since they only won the 4th quarter vs. Detroit.
