4 L's in a row

Before the All Star Break, Utah went on a 7-0 run, barely losing their last game before the break. Since their return, Utah was just managing to play .500 ball but have now lost their last 4, even after adding Shelvin Mack who appeared to be a better scoring option than any of Utah's other point guards. sigh...

I understand Utah wants to make it to the playoffs this season, if only to at least get some playoff experience before coming back full throttle (hopefully?) next season when a healthy Dante Exum and Alec Burks return.

But what if it turns out Exum is not the point guard we've been looking for? I think he has a lo of qualities that can help Utah in the backcourt, but if a healthy and starting Exum doesn't make much difference to Utah's success, what does Utah try to do then at the PG position? Just wait and cross that bridge if and when we get there? I think that is the plan.

It's just frustrating that every time this team seems to get it going, it falls flat. I'm just frustrated and venting and slowly losing hope, feeling like I'm perpetually waiting for next season for things to get better. We're one position away from being a guaranteed playoff seed with a decent chance of making it to the second round of playoffs.

Looking forward to 2017, I guess...
