Game Thread - Jazz @ San Antonio

[spycam1]

the Spurs have his number, I swear.

This reminds me of that song my daughter sings all the time. Did they call him, maybe?

-Core4

just started watching the game, and dante has looked better. more confident.

What disappointed me in the end was him missing the fast break layup. He's scared ****less going to the rim.

Assist to Kanter maybe?

 

[aussietin]

wow how many shots have we hit right at the rim?

 

[Jamezz]

-Kanter sucked yes, but the rest of the team except for Rudy was either off or just horrible.

-Starting bigs: Gobert, Favors, done. Starting wing: Haygod, done. Everything else, who the hell knows.

-Really, we just need shooting, perimeter defense, and to trust our teammates with the pass.

-We already have the fifth best ISO player in the league in Hayward via points per drive, so give us shooters and see if we can play like Atlanta.

I cringe every time I see the Almighty related with hay...

Irony.

Yeah you were probably one of them.

Man reading through this game thread made me depressed. There's some really stupid people on this website. Like really complaining about Exum when he does make a mistake, but is being aggressive. He made some great plays tonight and still has loads of potential. The Jazz still played pretty good defense tonight and were just outplayed.

What disappointed me in the end was him missing the fast break layup. He's scared ****less going to the rim.

There is something to Exum, perhaps his defense that usually reflects favorably in his +/- for sure. I'm trying to be patient with him, but it seems like he's starting to shoot one to two airballs per game now. He doesn't drive (he seems to be trying some new stuff in the paint now, which is good). He plays good D, but doesn't get a lot of steals with his length. I thought a lot of this was because of his conservative nature, but I saw him anticipate a pick tonight in which he looked like the other player was made of knives. I'm convinced he's afraid of contact, now. So, until he starts showing some fire and toughness, he'll just be another player on the bench that comes in and is just there at best and is horrific at worst. I can't remember the last time he has even shown "flashes" of what he could be. At least we had that to hang our hat on.

Is this because you don't like hay, think it is overestimating Hayward's skill, or religious reasons? I'm guessing hay.

No! Just go strong to the rim and finish it. His defender just sagged off and gave up on the play and he missed the layup because he was scared of yet another non-existing contest...

its worth saying that it has ended up in him shooting some really awkward looking shots, but it looks like he's trying to develop now, which is good.

Hay is for horses, give me the good weed

I think it's mainly Quin playing him along with Hayward which helps a lot(Hayward's +/- is the best out of all starters) and putting him into situations where he wouldn't be overwhelmed and taking him out the moment he feels things are going south...
