i turned it on a couple minutes ago, Burks got a pass intercepted by Jimmer, then he got the ball stolen from him a couple plays later. On this plus side, Corbin is experimenting with this Kanter/Favors/Millsap/Carroll/Burks line-up

He's not been great but his handle is definitely improved. Passing ability is still pretty suspect. It's not that he's unwilling, it's just that he can't seem to make the type of visionary passes that even a backup PG has to be able to make at times. He can basically dump it into the post and anything else is probably at least a 50% chance of a TO.

Watching the game right now and specifically just watching Burks (this game was terrible) and he's doing a lot of things like setting screens, dribbling up court, calling plays, and setting plays and these things may all be new to him. His offense as a PG is way far off, but he's doing a lot of things right- watch him feeding the post for example. There's a ton more you have to do as a Jazz PG than as a Jazz SG. It's the hardest position to play on the Jazz by far.
His defense is superb- he can keep up with most PG's right now. That's why I want him at PG.

I'll say it now- Burks at 1 and Hayward at 2 >>> Burks at 2 and Hayward at 3 (Defensively at least)

I'm not sure we're getting the PG we want- the crop is small and most of the good ones are untradeable.
There is Bledsoe and he is good at racking up stats, but can he run a team? (Clippers lost 6 of 8 without CP3).
And if we want Bledsoe, then how much more does Bledsoe offer than what Burks offers?

Glad to see Favors continue to produce. He's going to be incredible at 35 minutes a game. Get ready for double doubles with a block or two every night.

Burks showed that at the very least he can play positively! He was really good tonight, even if long-term there is no way he's a PG. Showed a much better understanding of not taking too many shots but playing within himself and the offense. Easily his best career game.

According to lunatic wolf, if we were to give favors 35 minutes a game then would surely just become less efficient

As good as most of the stats looked we shouldn't have been in OT against this team. Right on about Al....his usual inefficient self.

My Point was if not for the rapid fire turnover display we win in regulation, not to mention, when was the last time we beat the kings soundly. The Kings always play us tight.
 
Locke sounding of desperation....

Could one person please tweet out that Ty Corbin was correct to go back to Jefferson and Millsap with Jazz trailing 77-71 - closed 27-14

I dont tweet or I would mention that people are tired of being fed lines. Even if everyone is wrong and Favors/Kanter don't work the fans want to see it.

Dipship pointed out correctly in another thread that when Jeffy came back into the game, he finished 1 for 5 and that millsap, foye, and burks are why we closed out this game..... basically we won despite jeffy being in at the end.

This. Al was horrible to close the game out while Foye, Burks, Millsap made some clutch plays. Al was not his usual clutch self at the end of a ball game. For god sakes! He was being guarded by the 6-6 Hays, and I know he has a rep for being a tough defender, but Al is one of the top players in the post, and couldn't even get to the rim, Instead he resorted back to that god awful 7 foot push shot that drops maybe 3 of every 10 times.
 
Hayes is one of the few guys you don't want to try and back down because of his low center of gravity. A simple push shot would have been Al's best bet, since Hayes couldn't bother it in the least.

Ok let's say for arguments sake that Favors only shoots 45% from the field if you scale up his minutes and attempts. He's still EASILY better than Al, who does the same damn thing with zero defense...
