A Few Thoughts on Mavs 127, Clippers 114

Totally serious, not a fluke.  

Unless you consider Burke a fluke.  I don't anymore, at least not in the bubble.

I think “streaky” or “inconsistent”.  He can shoot you into a game (8 of 10 from 3 first game in the bubble) and out of a game (0-7 a few games later).  His averages the last few years have been that of an average player.  But his inconsistency is what had him on the street and available.

This is why I (and others) have talked about the need for “a better version of Burke” in the starting lineup.  You can see how much more dynamic the team could be.  I think Brunson is the Trent Dilfer of Super Bowl QB’s.  He’s a game manager.  Burke is more dynamic.  Last night was like watching two different teams.  The bench moves the ball.  Luka running point gets a bit boring to watch (Harden is unwatchable to me).  To me, a “better version of Burke” would allow the starters the chance to look more like the bench did last night.  That would overwhelm teams.

Ya'll are severely underrating Brunson. There is a reason Burke has bounced around. He can score but that's pretty much all he does and he's inconsistent. Brunson can score very efficiently and also run an offense. I love his game, even his defense has gotten better. I think when a guy has been injured and not playing people might forget how good he is. I think Brunson is a core piece and a gamer. I like Burke too. I think having a guy like that who can be your third option at PG you are in good shape.

Huh? Who is this Ya'll.
