Reverse Jinx! You genius!
Of course you're superstitious. Perfectly fits your profile.
Why don't you give Kanter his underwear back, or maybe you're just a nebober (???).
Good money he wasn’t alive in the 90s. I legitimately believe it’s more likely he’s currently in junior high, or whatever they call it in Australia.
This can’t be a serious question. Someone tried this “gotcha!” fail last night.

Jazz still need a 3rd star. Dante or Favors are the best assets they have available to try to get one. Not sure who (or how) but that should be the priority until that player is on this team. At some point, a team will be looking to get off a max contract and the Jazz need to be ready to make that happen when the time is right.
It seems that every 3 or 4 games Rubio shoots so badly that it almost inevitably costs the Jazz the game. It's almost impossible to win if the guy with the ball in his hands the most shoots 0-8, 1-10 or 3-13. The spacing and the ball movement go to crap.
I think the right thing to do is to start Ricky and pull him if he can't make defenses pay for leaving him. The Jazz have to eliminate these nights where Ricky nearly single-handedly shoots the jazz out the game. That's the priority. If Exum can continue to play better then great, but give Ricky the chance to have a good night.

Nah, that's not the right thing to do.
You don't pull a guy as important as Rubio because he's missing shots. That's a guaranteed way to **** someone's confidence.

Poor little Rubio, we don't wanna screw his confidence up. His poor little fragile confidence. Whereas Dante's confidence has been screwed with his entire career with season ending injuries, and coaching decisions, and he keeps coming back with great mental and physical fortitude.
The Jazz are here to win games, so yes absolutely you minimize Rubio's minutes where he 's actively hurting the team, like the sizable chunk of the season that he hasn't looked like an NBA player.

Dante gets benched for bad decision making, like missing defensive rotations or committing aimless turnovers. He has never been benched for missing shots. No one on Utah has.

Of course it's not just shots, but when you're shooting 39% for the year, it's a problem. Somebody pointed out the assist to turnover ratio in the last 6 games between the two, and Ricky was 46/26 if i recall, where obviously his decision making has lead to aimless turnovers. Dante is 31/4.
I'll also bring some stats in:
Rubio win shares - 1.2, PER - 12.3
Dante win shares - 1.0, PER - 12.4
I don't understand why we at times give him no consequences like we did with Ex. It's not like we're dealing with a player like Steph Curry, Michael Conley or even a Fox, for him to play without consequence.
Also, Donovan win shares - 0.6, PER - 13.9.
The real star is Rudy Gobert, win shares - 6.1, PER - 24.3.
You don't watch Jazz basketball games. It's fine.

I've watch every Jazz game. Every single one.
You don't or you wouldn't say something as dumb as what you just said.

My eyes also tell me that Rubio has been total a$$ for about a third of the year in accumulation.
Like, how short is your memory if you have to ask why Rubio gets more respect than Exum? This is why no one respects the Exum homers/Rubio haters.
Did you forget the playoffs where he frustrated the hell out of Westbrook by dropping a triple double on him? Or the entire 2nd half of last season where he helped lead a giant regular season comeback to make the playoffs? It's kind of like doing these things earns you some kind of capital among your coaches and peers.
When has Exum done these things on the level Rubio has done them? The answer is never, and until that happens, Rubio is going to be trusted more. Exum is starting to make steps towards that, but that's what they are: Steps. He has a long way to go and he doesnt just get to leapfrog Rubio like so many of you have wet dreams about.
