What's new

Game Thread - Trail Blazers @ Jazz 8:30 PM MTN

Exum showing flashes tonight. Some new moves
I don't want to get ahead of myself but it really looked like the game is finally starting to slow down for him tonight. Outside of one garbage pass he was in control all night and picked and choosed when to use his speed and when to just probe the defense and see what they were offering.
 
Couldn't ask for more. What a great game, I love this team and know we are gonna end up with a great playoff spot this season.

Agreed. Our schedule is going to be very favorable moving forward and the team is clicking right now.

...we need to figure out the free throw woes before the playoffs and we’ll be be a tough team to beat.

The Blazers don't have good defensive guards.

Or an interior defender to clean up after them. He can basically blow by the perimeter guys and finish under minimal pressure.

Exum's cumulative stats in the two games against Portland: 38 mins, 11-16 FG, 1-1 3P, 3 rb, 12 as, 1 st, 1 to, 23 pts. Some of that was in garbage time tonight, but it's still better than he's done against any other team in the league. But if he can bring that floater every night, maybe we'll see more stat lines like this from him.
