What's new

Timberwolves. Tonight. 8 pm Texas Standard Time.

He is a terrible terrible fit for a team that already struggles with spacing. He is a worse shooter than Trey or Exum.

Throw him to the lions, you never know. As far as I've seen he's quick, has good court vision and can help this team find the open looks. Don't be so pathetically reluctant.
 
Tough loss. A lack of firepower hurt us.

I also didn't have an issue with Burke taking that last shot. Dude's been clutch for us before. It just wasn't in the cards tonight.

HAHA, He might have had a good game if he had stopped shooting 10 shots before. I wanted literally anyone else to take that last shot. I didn't like the quick two because that was our last time out. He didn't need to take the three either and shot it with just under a 2 seconds. He wasted so much time. I bet his teammates hate playing with him, especially tonight.
 
4/22 and 12.

That's all that needs to be said.

And he only got the forth made because the Wolves didn't expect him to throw away the game with a layup when we had no time outs left.
 
Trey is probably the worst player I've ever watched at any level for any length of time. Seriously, some of his games are almost impossibly terrible.
 
Favors should have scored 30 points guarded by Chase Budinger, but we lost because of Burke chuking big time and Bigs beeing unable to shoot freethrows...

Favors 3/7
Gobart 4/8
Book 1/4

I noticed some bad body language from faves on one of the pick n rolls. He knew that pass was not coming, and wasn't too happy that it was predetermined.
 
18 pts 17 rebs and 6 blks for Gobert. That's an incredible stat line.

Also great to see Wiggins doing well.
 
Burke was 0-5 in the 1st, 1-2 in the 2nd, 1-4 in the 3rd, and 1-6 in the 4th. So what made him think he was the go-to guy in OT?
 
19 pts 12 rebs 4 asts and 2 blks from Favors. And he did it all while playing with a PG who refuses to pass the ball.

The claim by some (Hapring and a couple of posters here) was that he was the only being aggressive. I think that's a BS excuse for a guy who's simply a chucker, but that's what the argument is.
 
Exum had better gain at least 15 lbs of muscle prior to next season. This guy needs to quit being so afraid of driving to the basket.

Jazz play a team who suits up 7 players and loses. This loss stinks. There's no excuse to lose this game.
 
I just wish Burke would stop with the hero ball. He plays like he still plays for Michigan. He needs to stop forcing the play and start allowing the game come to him. And if he knows he's off... STOP SHOOTING THE BALL!

He is one of those type of players that believes "When you're on, keep shooting... When you're off, keep shooting til your on"

I don't get the standing in the corner crap. I wish I knew what the hell he was thinking pulling that crap. It'd be one thing if he was deferring to Hayward, but to take a backseat to freaking Burke like that. It's a little embarrassing.

You dont think that was what he was told to do?
 
Trey Burke is the new CJ Miles. Potential yet inconsistent.

I wish he was only as detrimental to the team as CJ Miles - name me the last time Miles was permitted to take 22 shots when he wasn't white hot? If ever.

I understand QS is just working with what he has right now; but Burke's 1 good night wrapped around 3 bad nights is just not worth it when you're dealing with a guy with the ball contantly in his hands and no conscience in his head. He needs to break it to DL and KOC - they picked a lemon. Time to move him out and move on.
