Dante's ceiling is now solid role player. And even then he will need a lot of work to get there. He just doesn't have the natural instincts I thought he did.

Not our ****ing savior then? :rolleyes:
 
Jazz don't have that extra step they usually play with. Too quick of a turnaround after an emotional closeout victory on Friday. Everything is too easy for the Rockets and the refs are not showing any compassion on the contact on the other end.
 
For all of the complaining about Exum, his ability to drive to the basket is critical if we are going to have any chance.

They will score at least 170 on this poor effort. I understand "rest" and all but this is piss poor.

Winning game five would've given us a few more days off, and perhaps a healthy Rubio. It's a big deal. The Rickets are the second best, or perhaps even best, team in the NBA this season. Donovan will absorb tricks and tactics like a sponge. This series, given where Utah is right now in its progression, is a good learning opportunity.
 
Really stupid to schedule 2 playoff games 36 hours apart. Just don't look right at all.
 
The key is not having Paul AND Harden go off on you. Gotta shut down one of the two... plus their defense is much better than OKC's. Gotta rinse the thought that D'antoni is only a superb offensive coach. They've got a lot of guys that take pride in their defense now.

That being said, Burks isn't good. Exum isn't great. We don't have the guns or the legs tonight.
Would like to see Mitchell continue to seize the spotlight.
 
I can’t stand the way the Rockets play they literally try to get fouls rather than actually looking to score half the time. They also don’t miss. Hard combination to beat especially when we can’t score when Mitchell goes out.

He can drive to the basket at will. It's that he often doesn't know the right play to make once he gets there. Same with Burks.

Burks is a horrible finisher on his drives. Exum is only a bit better.
