Or the other option is he didn't think this game mattered all that much. It had a small importance but if you don't really value home court then taking the chance of injury was not worth the risk to him. Also I don't believe home court was really on the line. The Clippers are playing the Kings. The odds of them losing seem pretty slim.
It was pwn, not pawn.

Regarding shelvin mack: he is an average back up point guard. Like neto.
Mack shoots 44% from the field, under 30% from 3, 68% from the line and doesn't get there much. He doesn't get many assists, and his turnovers are kind of high (creating a poor assist to turnover ratio). I think he is probably statistically a poor defender though i could be wrong.
His per 36 numbers. 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.7 turnovers and 1.3 steals.
Neto shoots 45% from the field, 32% from 3, and 89% from the line. He seems to be a better and more willing passer and seems to be a better defender. (Again I could be wrong)
His per 36 numbers: 10.4 ppg, 3.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists (I'm surprised macks assist numbers are better), 1.6 turnovers, 2.2 steals.
Not much separating the two. I like the toughness of both guys, think they are both pretty confident and both decent leaders.
Honestly I don't care who quin picks to be the backup pg in the playoffs. Neto injury made the decision much easier.

I lost credibility because I can do math? The Jazz need to re-sign Ingles and Hill. They need to create cap-space. How do they do that? Getting rid of Diaw for one. He has served his purpose. He is 35 ****ing years old and is a guy who doesnt give a **** about his conditioning. I love what he has done for the team, but he will 1000% be cut or traded as his contract is not guaranteed next year. The Spurs loved Diaw, but at the end of the day they had to trade him to make cap room for better players. Jazz going to make the same progression.
I was super surprised when I looked at his stats and saw he played 70 games this year.
Mack does two things pretty well though: floaters and finishing at the basket going to his right. He is someone who can actually put pressure on the defense when he heads towards the basket unlike Exum or Neto. He just sucks at dribbling and doesnt make quick decisions on the ball.
As far as defensively Neto is better at staying with players, but Mack is better at contesting shots and not getting overpowered/shot over. Exum clearly the best defender of the 3.
As far as mind numbing decision making, Exum takes the cake as he makes the worst mistakes. Jumping into the air and passing it to a defender seems to happen regularly. People might get mad for the offense stalling with Mack, but I dont think that issue is that big or entirely on Mack. Neto is probably the best of the 3 at running offense, but if the ball gets stuck in his hands with time running out its pretty awful. Mack is the only one of the 3 who can make anything happen in those unfortunate situations.
He got a lot of minutes earlier in the year and was actually making some shots. The first couple months he was getting like 20 minutes and 10 points a game. In December he was shooting 41% from three. Then the wheels came off. The last two months he doesnt see the court much and cant shoot at all. In March he was down to 20% shooting from the field. He clearly quit or something happened. Maybe dealing with personal stuff or just felt like he was getting the playing time he thought he deserved. Whatever it is it seems like a mental issue.
