I would pull Exum out of the starting lineup again and I'm dead serious. Might get him to reconsider his 'chickenly' manners on the court.

Recall Clark and send Exum to the DLEague until he becomes a man. He's playing like a scared little kid.

Fools gold in a sense. I think they showed our potential, but we have a ways to go.

Hood gonna be good if his foot works out.

Millsap looked fully engaged.

I agree.
Next year we will be ready to compete for the playoffs.

I said the Portland game and the San Antonio game were fools gold..... as in I don't see us playing at that level normally this year. Those games made jazz fans think we are better than we are
We ain't that good

It's not just the Blazers or Spurs games, bro. In the last 25% of our games, our schedule has been the toughest in the NBA, and our average scoring margin in that stretch is actually +2.64. Due largely to a generally consistent high level of defense. The Jazz aren't worldbeaters by any stretch, but they have definitely turned a corner, and one horrible game doesn't erase all of that.

I was referring to us kicking the asses of playoff teams as not being represintitave of where we are as a team. ie, fools gold. We ain't THAT good

Trey looked terrible out there tonight. Dante has much room for improvement but the offense ran better with him out there and the defense too.

I think this is because Dante has a better sense when to get the ball off his hands may be ?

And you're right. We aren't THAT good.

It was the "tank is still on" comment that elicited my response. We are through tanking, and given that we have one of the easier remaining schedules, should win more than we lose from here on out this season.
 
Say whatever you want about Burke but he is trying. Not that I want to defend him, but you can actually see him wanting to play the game.
Whereas Exum spends most of his time behind the 3pt line and just moves the ball to the next guy. Every game like this.

but may be it is counter productive and may be he's trying too hard .. he takes sick shots just because he made them in the last 2 games..

This excuse has to stop, there have been 92 other rookies 19 or younger, and Dante ranks very near the bottom of almost every statistical category among them.

Hell, a 19 yr old rookie Kanter who had barely played basketball had a 15 PER, avg 15 & 7 per36. --> for reference, Dante's PER is 6.6..


everyone talks about rookie-Kobe starting slow, but he still was at 17½, 4 & 3 per36.



We cant keep feeding him excuses, we need to expect bigger from him. We have too much invested in him not to.

I think the problem was Trey was playing his usual one-on-one and the Lakers started playing a match-up zone, and with Trey dribbling the ball instead of moving it around they weren't able to get good shots.

Yeah, Quin was royally pissed. You could see it in his wild expressions when the TV camera flashed to the bench.
