Yeah I really don’t know why he’s lost such confidence in shooting. He hurt his shoulder at one point and I wonder if it still has issues. He was shooting much more willingly before that injury.
A brush with destiny -- Celtics at Jazz 3/28/2018 7:30 pm MST

That’s where having Exum in over Rubio could have changed the speed of the game.
Don’t play to the oppositions tactics, if Exum can speed up the game late then get Rubio out.

Exum looked great his defense was sorely missed in the closing minutes IMO...
He had 2 excellent contests at the rim in those 9 minutes too. He's got the full bounce in his step for sure.
Rubio does penetrate. He drew 6 foul shots tonight, was the 2nd leading rebounder, had the most assist, and didnt get scored on by Terry Rozier to ignite the Celtics comeback.

Got to give credit where it's due. Stevens 2/3 zone won the game. It forced us away from the corner threes forcing us to shoot above the break. With Ingles off the mark we couldn't spread the defense.
Rudy had a hard time controlling the ball with three men swiping at it. If he was able to convert a few of those near the bucket it would have also broke the zone.
I'm glad Snyder took out Exum. He was shook up after that spill. Even though he was playing great I'd rather lose this game, and perhaps even our chace at the playoffs this season rather than have Exum hurt again.
The positive we can take away from this is we can see that we really need to create an answer to zone defenses. Rather figure that out now instead of game five of a series.

Exum isnt going to speed the game up in those crunch time minutes.
Rubio wasn’t great

That Exum block on the fast break was great. Exactly what I was hoping to see from him when he got back. I agree with the sentiment that Utah has a shooting problem right now. They still make the playoffs, but they need to fix their shooting if they want to compete.
He was a top 3 player tonight for the Jazz.

He gets in off passes and occasional rebounds. He doesn't get by his man.
Exum hits 2 shots in a row and people act like he is Klay Thompson during his 40 point quarter.

That's what puzzled me most. Favors was doing well. Seemed that he deserved more minutes.
How he get fouled so much then?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE SOOOOO ****ING TOUGH HUH.
He wasnt actually doing that well. He was a big part of the 2nd quarter collapse. His +/- looks great because he was in during the 3rd quarter run sparked by Mitchell.
How much you bench press?

Rebounds. Then throws his legs out while putting up a shot. Or a so so call on a mid range. Neither are penetrating, he doesnt collapse the defense.
Stevens stuck with Greg Monroe, who was getting his *** kicked by Gobert all game.

You obviously didnt see how often Monroe got into our passing lanes.
