Definitely not his finest performance...came up with a clutch stop there at least.

He stopped his elbow with his face. I wonder if that should be offensive foul actually.

Another clutch stop by Exum.

THERE'S THE DANTE WE KNOW! GREAT STOP.

Jamal Crawford, the kind of drawing phantom fouls.

Why do defenders keep their hands LOW when they know opponent NEEDS a 3? This is a recipe for disaster. You are not gonna get the ball when it's low.... keep you hands up and contest dammit.

Clippers announcers are excellent.

Back to back to back stops by Exum to win that game. Idc who they were against, that's impressive. The only time they got a shot off on him was when they elbowed him in the face.

Yep, couldn't agree more. Some of the best in the league. I could do without the BINGO after 3s, but overall they are awesome.

Exum lost throughout the game offensively then comes down with 3 consecutive stops in the clutch against one of the best iso players in the league. Story of his rookie season. I hope he makes advances on O. His D is already in nice form.

Best perimeter defender on the team already?

Maybe we can beat their bench this year.

I love Exums D, but I want to see him finish at the rim instead of always dumping it off.

Bolomboy is going to be great if his skills catch up with his athleticism.

Definitely in the conversation along with Hill, if we cut Chris Johnson...

I have a feeling he's going to be guarding Harden, Curry, Westbrook ect in big moments this year.

This BTW was a prime example for the people doubting how much we missed his defensive impact last year. We couldn't stop anybody last year. Now it's true this was against second stringers, but Jamal is an elite iso player and Dante shut him down completely down the stretch.

Quin on Dante:

Good to see them wanting more than just D out of him.

Yeah I mean Exum IS the best perimeter defender on this team. Still waiting for his offense to show.

I know it really goes without saying. But man, it's really nice to have Daunte Exum back on the court. Yeah, he still has a little ways to go on offense, but him being on the court makes the team better. I'm ready to see AB back too, I think he will have an enormous impact on the team.
