They would have won if Jingles could be bothered to play. . .
You're kind. He made 3 baskets. Doesn't really mean he "got things going". He did get to the line a couple times, however. Hope he does more in the upcoming games. I also wouldn't mind seeing more than 2 rebs from a 6'6 - 6'7" athletic guard.Or if Exum played.
Oh, he did?
Didn't look very good on either end in the 1st period, getting beaten on defense repeatedly by not fighting through screens or closing out on shooters. And he didn't do anything on offense other than pass the ball off immediately. I guess he got things going later as he finished 3-4. I didn't watch after the 1st as I was too bored and disgusted with Dante's timidity.
Motum had a very good game with some nice inside moves and some 3's. He has a real chance of making the roster.

He didn't finish 3-4. He finished 3-6. (3-4 from 2 point range and 0-2 from 3)Or if Exum played.

Thanks for the correction.He didn't finish 3-4. He finished 3-6. (3-4 from 2 point range and 0-2 from 3)At least that is how I read the box score that stitches posted
I was much more harsh and then edited my post after seeing his stats (because I missed 3/4 of the game). Dante's demeanor bothers me. It just seems like he's sleepwalking most of the time. I know he was playing out of position, but on defense he just didn't have good instincts. He was ball watching instead of knowing where his man was many times. And there was no aggression fighting through screens. He just let himself get taken out of the play.You're kind. He made 3 baskets. Doesn't really mean he "got things going".

LOL.Exum. All the raw talent in the world, and the balls of a mouse.
I was watching the game on my phone and despite not knowing which guy he was at the very beginning and not seeing very well on the small screen and with my bad eyes, (due to his light skin it wasn't as easy as just looking for the black guy), I was able to pick him up immediately due to his bizarre posture, his gait that makes him appear exhausted at all times and his passiveness on the offensive end.Thanks for the correction.

I know, I know...it's only one game. But the uptimism I had after watching his one summer league game has been negated by watching this one. He's back to his old self. Paging Neto, paging Neto!
Yay! Let's all be super critical of a game that doesn't matter!!!
I love the offseason.
Here's the thing...what he did in the summer league, against a player who's actually a good NBA defender, matters more than this stupid exhibition game.
That was a stupid exhibition game as well. We know about Exum's timidity from watching him play a full season of NBA basketball.
