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...

Don't let your wife see this Fish.

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.

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.

Well that's depressing. We got to shake this funk. We look awful more times than not.

We want second quarter Ricky and Don for the rest of the game. Lets go!

So damned if we Rubio or damned if we Dante.

I hate to even say this, but this could be a rock bottom game. I still think we pull it out, however.

 

[fishonjazz]

So is Rubio still losing minutes to Exum?

IDK but according to the box score he is doing slightly worse than Exum.

Such a typical Locke take. Backhanded compliments and talking in circles.
