Still think the Jazz will get this one fairly comfortably, seemed like the Cavs just hit a bunch of tough ISO looks that don't seem sustainable to me for a whole game.

Rubio and Mitchell were both great in that 2nd quarter, and I thought Exum in his minutes was fine too. Ingles/Crowder/Korver going 4/14 and 1/9 from deep hurt more.
 
Correct Answer: No

Break that down for us without using +/- which is a flawed measure.

Exum played half as many minutes and had 2 assists to Rubio's 3
They both had 2 turnovers
Rubio shot 3-7, Exum 2-4
They both have 1 rebound
Exum played with mostly the 2nd unit whereas Rubio played mostly with the starters

How can anyone say that it's a clear decision that Rubio is outplaying Exum? Sure, he might have a very slight edge tonight, but neither is worth praising or bashing.
 
Say your prayers. Jazz are 1-13 when trailing at the half this season, per Locke. Granted we were playing much better teams than Cleveland. But we're also trailing CLEVELAND at the half...

Locke this morning says Rubio is waaaaaay less efficient offensively than Dante But then bitches that if Dante playes more it changes the whole team dynamic. Subtly bitched about Dantes usage rate while playing reasonably well and yet also wonders who's gonna take shots if the bad shooters decrease their usage.

Our starting backcourt are so woefully below even average efficience it's no wonder we're losing games.

So damned if we Rubio or damned if we Dante.

Such a typical Locke take. Backhanded compliments and talking in circles.
 
How to make your offense look terrible. Keep running plays for Favors.
