Can Exum be fixed?

[LifeOnaPlate]

I've been hard on Danté lately, wow he was awesome tonight. That defense was as close to perfect against Harden as you'll get, big moments when he hit his 3's too.

I think Quin rotated him, Royce and Neto perfectly tonight to manage the fouls, really happy for Ex.

Under-rated aspect of Neto's contribution. He wasn't great, but he was good enough, and bought other guys a little time to not pick up another foul.

Dante was excellent.

According to ESPN Stats and Info’s Twitter exum guarded Harden on 22 possessions. The most of any Jazz player. Harden scored a grand total of 2 points in those 22 possessions.

Snyder may have found the beards Kryptonite.

CP3 did have 6 points against him, but other than that, pretty acceptable.

And I guess the answer to the question in the title is "yes".

Harden was actually 0/7 from the field against Exum with 2 offensive fouls and 1 assist on those 22 possessions.

Harden was actually 0/7 from the field against Exum with 2 offensive fouls and 1 assist on those 22 possessions.

Also did work on CP... totally blocked one of his 15 footers and CP was screaming at the ref and flailing around... that guy is just the worst.

I’m switching from State Farm to progressive just cuz I hate him so much.

Exum matched up with Harden 22 times last night, the most out of any other Jazz player. Harden scored 2 points.
