His playoff performance thus far has cemented this assertion.

And I consider that a "silver lining". I want Exum back next year, and if we can get him cheap, then so much the better.

Did he mess up 3 or 4 plays this game? Yes, he did and he looked damn ugly doing it.

Did he play some tough D this game? Yes, he did and he looked damn good doing it.

He also made a nifty hand-off to Favors for a dunk on one of his drives to the rim.
 
0% concerned about this game, frankly. The quick turnaround was brutal and the Rockets are a team it takes a little while to figure out.

Definitely not the series you want to be without Ricky, we're going to have our hands full. But I expect a much better showing on Wednesday.

I simply don't understand the Exum hate. It doesn't make sense. The kid had two bad injuries yet he gets out there and plays with all heart. Sure, he is extremely rough around the edges, but he's still young. If a guy like Andre Roberson can be so abysmal on offense but be good enough defensively that his absence caused a huge void for a contender, then I think Snyder is smart enough to harness all the good that Exum can become.

There are times he simply blows by his defender. And there are other times he simply shuts down his offensive counterpart. Yes, he has to get better and more consistent. If both he and Royce can make improvements, we would have the best defending perimeter in the NBA with Mitchell, Exum, Royce and Crowder.

Stay positive and have faith.

Exum is ****ing trash, hope he proves me wrong one day but hope it's not here.

When we lost game 5 in OKC this game was a scheduled loss, really hurt ourselves not being on the same schedule as Houston.
 
Jazz get a ton of mis-matches down low against Houston. They can't seem to take advantage most of the time .

I thought they played well in the second half. Wednesday should be more competitive. Maybe they can steal one.

Nope, that's why resigning Favors won't be happening.
 
I would like to have Favors back, but we need more offense. Dont think we can keep Favors (big man, okay O, decent D, excellent locker room) and Exum (potential, size, athleticism, decent D, suspect O) and get what we need (shooter, good offense, versatility)

Yeah, but no one is suggesting we dump Joe or O'Neale.

No one is suggesting we dump exum either. X has about a week left on his contract. Joe and O’Neal are both under contract after next week.

Plus if we win game 5 Rubio is probably healthy.
I didn’t get to watch game 5 but I heard that Westbrook dude had a good game.
Maybe if the nba would have followed their own rules then Westbrook wouldn’t have played in that game, we would have won it, we would have been rested and prepared and had Ricky today and maybe got a win.

Oh well
