Gordon is such a good defender ... i mean really freaking awesome ...

Probably a big reason. Mack at least creates some pressure when he is going to the rim.

Exum gets to the rim more and finishes a higher percentage of those shots this season compared to Mack. He shoots a better percentage within 10 feet and both are shooting the 3 poorly. The only thing Mack does better is shoot long 2s at a better percentage which are a much larger percentage of his shot selection.

basically you put in mack and ignles and hope the team doesnt break while hill gets a rest

Are they looking to trade Mack, hence giving him so many minutes? An Exum dnp i just dont get it, is it his knee?

I mean... Rudy is God but I don't think it's possible that he's stopping all of these layups from falling. Wolves just have a mental block at this point lol

Gobert leads the league in mental blocks per 100 possessions. Call him Professor X.

Great pass by Diaw, Hood just missed it.

Some Jazz sportswriters have hinted that they are showcasing Mack to trade him.

I don't see why you take Exum out the rotation completely.

About 20 inches from the front bench.

They'd get better value if they left him on the bench.

The Tyus Jones move didn't really work for Thibs

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hill gives Hayward a ball-handling closing partner. Last year all these possessions would have been Hayward only and probably gotten tired out, now he has Hill to relieve pressure.

that was a monster move by zach

Interesting that he's travelling with the team, but Favors is staying back. I guess Favors recovery is more about rest than rehab.

They have been doing this the past couple of games where Jones plays the entire 4th and Rubio doesnt see the court.

And GMs are laughing at us.

I fully agree. But I dont think Mack should be getting minutes at all. Whatever we get from him is not worth it. They did want to ease Exum into play this season slowly and they were forced somewhat to play him more with Hill going down early. Maybe they are also backing him off a bit and letting him watch for a few games because of this.

that rebound was huge by george

Burks was doing this before the injury last year.
