Trailblazers at Jazz: 3/25/15 7 PM Mountain Time

I don't think Exum needs to shoot more, not until he learns to shoot better at least, I think he just needs to keep the ball in his hands more and drive hard to the rack a lot more. I would be happy with 0 points from Exum if he would just start attacking the basket and run the offense with the ball in his hands.

yep yep not so much shoot as get to the line ...
 
Good loss overall. Favors got experience putting the team on his back and Burke seems to have actually played at least a decent game. We lost, but that is good for are overall draft position.
 
But Exum spreads his misses over 4 games, Trey shoots just as poorly in one.

Exum has no confidence and is scared to shoot.

Burke fakes confidence and will shoot it.

Fake it til you make it. Got to respect Burke's mindest a lot more than Exum's.
 
It would kind of be nice for the Jazz to shut Trey down for a few games as an object lesson. That neck stinger looked nasty. . .
 
we just dont have any other shooters...

who do you want shooting?

exum? exum is a brick fest worse than burke.

You're forgetting something though. Burke isn't a shooter either. In fact, he's horrible at it. Marginally better than Exum. And Exum's shooting stats are skewed lower because he takes a much higher percentage of his shots from the perimeter.

And there's a difference between being the guy shooting the ball at the end of a play, and simply never passing the ball in the first place, letting nobody else even touch it. It absolutely kills momentum and takes the teammates out of the game mentally.

The dude is just a ballhog with tunnel vision that allows him to see only the basket. I can't believe people are trying to make excuses for this garbage.
 
Starting lineup of Gobert, Favors, Millsap, Exum and Burke. I'm glad Snyder is willing to mix it up a bit, but who expected them to still outplay the Blazers and be within one shot at the end of this game?

The only thing that irritates me is that the Jazz sucked it up in the 4th and let the Blazers score enough to get over 90.
 
Fine game by the team, Trey did a pretty solid job, Favors looked like he was gonna dominate but foul-trouble took him a bit out of it, Exum was too timid and I think he let that effect his defense on Lilliard a bit. Refs were not good and our foul-shooting was also not very impressive once again.

I'd rather have a guy who realizes he sucks at something and hence doesn't try it than one who is so selfish and dumb that he doesn't recognize his own limitations.

Can I have neither, please? :(
