Kanter putting us on his back. He's daring Quin Snyder to put bench him. I love the way he's playing.

Exum, Hayward, Gobert is becoming such a good lineup. Whether they are paired with Hood/Burks/Ingles at sg and Kanter/Booker/Favors at pf.

I love watching Gobert play. I know he has a ways to go to be a true beast. But I still really enjoy it.

He's already a beast except on offense. His play in the 3rd quarter is a big reason our lead ballooned again.

It blows my mind how Trey Burke won player of the year in college. I guess he developed his signature turn over passes and brick shooting form once he got to the pros?

I think it's seriously a toss-up between Gordon and Gobert as far as who has been the best Jazz player this year.....

Nice to see the Bigs destroy a team when they go small ball.

Treyd simply won't pass on fast breaks. Once again, he's not doing that in this game, or doing that late (that attempted pass back to Favors) just from lack of choice because he's caught in the air. Can't stand watching this - it's like his idol is Tyreke Evans in his rookie year.

Unfortunately, Rookie Tyreke Evans would be a significant upgrade over Trey Burke.... :cry:

At some point we have to call it what it is. Selfish basketball.

Jazz played so much better with Exum out there......

They haven't played a lot, but Exum/Hayward/Gobert has been our best lineup this year.

Your observation, or stats prove that? Curious...not arguing.

Basketball Reference don't even have this combo on their 3-Man Combinations.

We are .400 over the last five games. Clearly this is indicative that we are a 32 win team after all

The stats show it. This is a really good website that you can look at all sorts of lineups and other stats-

Things look grim now but they should get better. If Exum/Gobert are this good already in certain situations then there is potential for the Jazz to be genuinely good in the future.

According to that site ^^^, Exum appears in 16/28 three-man lineups that have a positive +/-.

That's the most of anybody on the team. Gordon Hayward is next with 14. Then Rudy with 10.

I'm glad to see Quin rewarding Exum by giving him more minutes. He deserves them with the effort he's giving.

I like the Exum Ingles give and go.

and i' m thinking about: did i expect this too much or is it true that Favors played kind of invisible tonight. Sure, he is coming back from injury, but am i right, that he has less court-charisma than a year ago? is he maybe recognizing, that he is not as good as they were telling him there in Utah?
