True. His stat line was actually pretty miserable. But the eyes don't deceive, he's figuring it out right now and when he does he's going to be good. And of course there's his defense...

You're better than this(I think). I don't think any reasonable person expects him to become an offensive force overnight. The point is, not only is he showing more aggressiveness, but he has shown some elite ability in some of the moves he's made.
I need to learn how to pick out a play and post a video of it. There was a play against the Bulls when the score, I think, was about 12 to 5, where Exum drove to the rim in traffic, and used his length in a sweeping layup over/around several defenders that was a thing of beauty. Multiple reps for anyone who posts a video of that play, or even better, a highlight reel of Dante's last two games. That block at the rim on Portis should be included.

It's consistent with the views they've been pushing. That's pretty obvious to me. It sounds like you weren't warned or 'fracted... which is interesting.

I don't think the block is in there.

Thought Exum was a lockdown defender? Because I saw Harden take his shoes off. Funny that I am once again going be proven right. Yall said top 4 and I said fighting for the 7th and 8th seed and maybe not even get in. Jazz are not very good. No stars. Stars win in this league, See Harden abuse yall.

I saw that defense on Harden when Harden TOOK his feet from under him.. Exum is still so raw.Good news is maybe yall get lucky with the lottery balls this year and land a top 3 pick and if you do id trade down to around 10 and grab the Mormon kid from Duke. He is a bigtime player and he would actually sign with yall

Harden is considered one of the best offensive players in the league. Exum is basically a rookie or sophomore at best. Also, if that's your point, Exum had plenty of great offensive moments of his own tonight.
The Jazz probably still need a franchise player to build around. Hayward is good, but he's not a star. Maybe the injury is bothering him and maybe he'll come around as the year progresses. He was clearly outplayed by Butler and Harden these last two games. It puts the Jazz at a disadvantage when he can't match their intensity and threat to score the ball.

You are normally a pretty good poster, yet this post reeks of casual fan who forgets Favors and Hill missing from this game. Not even going to mention 6 man Burks.
I'm just going to start predicting this every time I see anyone dismiss the impact of injuries to important players. Utah is in the top tier with GS, SA, and the Clips, when healthy.
Not going to forget you said Portland was the better team, either.
Our system sucks. For 15 seconds we swing the ball with 4 players barely moving if at all followed by a couple of drive and kicks resulting either in a fairly contested 3pter or attempt at the rim or fairly open long two.
If the refs feel like calling touch fouls then we get tons offree throws and call it a "grinding game". If not then we are an average jumpshooting team who have its night at times.
As the result offensive minded teams like Portland, gsw and the rockets will have our number most times.
