Why are some assuming Exum is this Savior who is going to come back from a serious injury and suddenly become someone he never was. HE CAN'T SHOOT. He was afraid to drive BEFORE the injury. He was injured penetrating. If anything, there's a greater possibility he comes back even more tentative. If Exum develops into a top-tier PG, then fantastic. But he needs to be slotted in as a backup, with Raul getting DNP-CD's. Lindsey MUST find a quality starting PG. And he needs to find a couple of backup bigs who can contribute more than once every 10 games.

As for Rudy, I love the guy. But I'm not holding out hope for his offensive game. He didn't improve at all during the summer. Yes, I know he national team duties. But the guy just has terrible hands. That's why Utah DESPERATELY needs guards who can hit 3's. Hood needs to step it up. It appears he has the mechanics; does he have the mentality?

Dude, lighten up .. i mean ONE offensive move for Rudy isn't too much to hope for. And i think you're being a little too negative with Exum, sure he was awfully shy and lame in his rookie year but it's not too much of a stretch to think that he can be something close to what he showed in that summer league game. Obviously he's not going to all of a sudden be better straight away but i think you'll be pleasantly surprised within a year or two. And you seriously can't deny that if he does pan out it's the final link to the team rolling towards contending a few years down the track.

You're right about needing better outside shooting though. 100%
 
I have a feeling that this is going to propel us into a decent winning streak. I'm sure this gave the guys confidence, even if they lost.

Anyone want to comment on how Burke didn't do **** tonight?

He dribbled a lot. Netos defense was good but I wish he'd do the Dante... Just pass it as soon as you get it and stand in the corner.

Proud of the team, but infuriated by that idiotic final play. Take a buzzer shot and live or fire by it. You have zero timeouts and you're in the penalty. Hold the ball and make a play at the buzzer. That was just stupid basketball.

This.
 
Another positive to take from this game is the way Rudy matched up with Bogut. Last year Bogut clearly outplayed and schooled Rudy. This year it was just the reverse.
 
Another close game against an elite team. Jazz come to play and don't lay down for anyone. That is a huge step in attitude. Great to see.

A win here would have been huge. So close. Keep fine tuning the playing and coaching and we will get there.
