Exum is so fast he can get to the basket with ease most of the time, now if he could just start finishing better at the rim.

It also hurts that he NEVER gets a whistle like he should. Unless he hits the ground after being bodyslammed he isn't getting anything, end even then only half of the time. . .

Im just watching the game now cause me my wife and daughter were at lagoon all day (i won some free passes in a bowling tournament for work. I ****ing love lagoon btw). Im in the middle of the second quarter. Very impressed by a tough as **** floater from grayson. Niang playing great on both ends. Niang had a deflected pass that went out of bounds on a very very crafty nice looking play early on. Despite the deflection i was very impressed by the play. He kinda slipped a screen as the ball handler with a really quick first step with the full intention of passing to joe for a three but the defender made a nice play to knock it out of bounds.
Udoh looks pretty useless. We are deep but there are limitations to our depth.
Dante looks like he belongs out there yet still seems to mostly suck on offense. I think he will get there he seems so close so often.
Royce having the nickname of buckets is ironic

Udoh was +11, third highest in the team, and played some really solid defense. I wouldn't call him useless.

Udoh is like having 6 men on D, 4 men on O.

Damn the tests are negative. Poor bloke

Umm. Pretty sure negative is great, in this context. Think it means negative for a broken bone.

Good thing the Jazz are pretty deep this year at the 4.

Favors should be back next game for the Towns matchup and Jazz will have Niang and Thabo for backup minutes w/ Jae out.

Sefolosha was playing the best ball of his career before he got hurt.

I loved how the refs looked at that Barea/Powell tag-team job for 5 minutes and then decided that Barea clotheslined him before he gathered. Ridiculous. I don't know what Dante needs to do to get continuation calls. Because I swear they give Harden FTs if the foul happened after his brain made the decision to drive.

What's wrong with this picture?

That flagrant on the dunk should have been a continuation. That should have been and 1.

Yep, count the bucket, get a free throw and the ball.

It was fun reliving the game with you fish, lol.

Didn't get to see this one but was so glad we got the W.

 

[Et tu Brute]

Mavericks commentators sound like closet Jazz fans

I listened to their feed. They were terrific I thought

I think often though he is quick enough to make it pass most contact, but not enough body control etc to make the finishes at high speed. Watching X makes me realize how freaky players like Kyrie, Dame and Mitchell are around the rim at times (given their size and array of moves)

 

[Jazzta]

Lol. Glad I'm not the only one who got that.

I still have scenes from his documentary burned into my brain.

I watched his band live, not the best place to take a date to...

The nba did away with continuation you have to be in the act of shooting to count the shot. Foul on the floor then technical foul was the right call

You're a braver man that me!

I saw the premier of his documentary shortly after he died at a showing on the Lower East Side - many of his fans and the Murder Junkies were there. That was close enough as I'd ever care to get!

Loved watching Allen and Niang play last night, two young players trying to carve out an nba career. Both played with aggression and confidence. That’s all you can ask from a rookie and DLeaguerlooking to make the league
