Nothing you said proves we built around Don. Nothing. The team talked about spacing around Rudy and getting a stretch 4 before we even knew Don was All Star quality. The Favors Rudy dynamic was being questioned years ago. Remember how we tried to get Favors to develop a corner 3?
It's all built around Rudy. His screens on offense and the funnel on defense. You can't argue that.
When we struggled the 2nd time against Houston our front office wanted more offense and made the calculation that our defense would be fine because we had Rudy back there. They didn't go - hey, Don is a good scorer so let's go get more scorers. Your argument makes zero sense. It's just lazy.
Rudy did not get dominated by Capella. He actually outplayed Capella. But he didn't dominate him. Or Adams. Or even Valenciunus in the Memphis series.
I'm not trying to disrespect Jazz fans. I'm not. I'm just sick and tired of this defense mechanism about Rudy. Makes you guys blind. It's bizarre, and it's a problem. Yall get so attached to certain players and make every excuse for them.
