We played really well this game, I wish we could have won this one. But when you are missing your best player and the opposing teams MVP has a career best game. That's really hard to win. That kind of makes it harder though that we were so close! Wish Mitchell would have made that last shot...

Love royce but 6'4 isnt providing any resistance to the supernova wings that I mentioned earlier.

Conleu 6'1. Don 6'1. Royce 6'4. We are simply small sometimes.

He has provided plenty of resistance to those players.

Well exums fans are as quiet as his box score. Mudiay deserved his minimum pay cheque while dante collected his fat welfare cheque. Imagine if we paid someone that could contribute. Heck even Niang showed some worth. Hope our coaching staff and mgmt eventually see that we need to upgrade Exum.

You're wrong. Defense isn't a problem for us. We're top 5 in like every defensive stat category that matters. Defensive rating, opponent ppg, fg% defense, 3pt fg% defense, 2pt fg%. Royce has done a fantastic job on the best opposing perimeter player.

You aren't going to completely stop guys like LeBron, Kawhi, Giannis, Harden. What you have to do is have a guy (or guys) who can make the game harder for them. That's what Royce does. And Royce isn't the only one. Jingles does that. Exum can do that. We have bodies to throw at these guys.

Giannis didn't score 48 because we didn't have a wing defender. He scored 48 because he's just a freak.... oh and we didn't have Rudy.
 
Sure in the regular season we have 'bodies' to throw at them but it's just futile and little resistance. In the playoffs during a 7 game series, your weaknesses are hunted AD nauseum. Not once did I think we had a chance to stop giannis tonight on each possession down the stretch. It was a man amongst boys playing with a nerf ball and sometimes volley ball. We need a legit wing defender like iggy or roco bad that can allow 30 not 50.

Jarrell Brantley scored 21 points (6/11 FG, 3/6 3FG), grabbed 13 rebounds and had 7 assists in the Stars game last night. I would really love to see the Jazz just try him in the rotation at some point.

Nah he's fine there, can work on his 3 and how to read defenses.

Mudiay is our new houdini. Reminds me of a healthy young Alec. For 1.6 Mil, I don't wanna hear any exum fan boys chirp about him being played out of the rotation.

Hitting wide open threes doesn't take time to get used to though...

You seem to make it like robots are out there playing and shooting.

Any number of things can affect somebody's play. That could be mental, physical, maybe even both. I'm pretty certain that he has individually put mental pressure on himself to play very well and prove that he is a good player not just for the one team team, the Grizzles, but for us as well. He came here with expectations, which is evident that they've weighed him down somewhat. This has certainly been evident during his play. How many times have you seen him tighten up and look weird on shooting free throws, so much so that some on this board actually thought he was missing them on purpose?
