Game Thread: Jazz Vs Hogwarts. 4 PM MST

Compared to what? The offense does suffer a bit when he is on the floor...watch that Locke video for the stats. However, his teammates ignore him all game long. He didn't even attempt to shoot more than two shots where he was not getting a putback. When you ignore teammates, the spacing sucks and you don't trust in the pass. Look at the teams that maximize their players. It's always based off of the concept of trust in the pass. You talk about his hand off passes, but that's where he is set up to be within the offense. When he gets it in the post through a pass or otherwise he has pretty good vision, look at the last game for example. In everything in this world, people (particularly fans) are so eager to give half-assed dogmatic assessments of anything. This world has become devoid of accountability in what they say because of forums just like this. The point is that it is almost always much more complicated than "he's bad" or "he's good".

Stop wasting your time, Cy-anide just doesn't get that Gobert's defense adds more to the end result, and he will get better offensively too.
 
Also, I think Gobert has some natural passing ability. I think he can become a good passer. He isn't a good passer yet though.

Compared to our offense without Gobert on the floor. Have you missed the entire point what I said about the offense suffer with him on as opposed to off?

Gobert air balled a 1-on-1 hook shot 6 feet from the basket. I'd rather have him never shoot the ball unless it's within 3 feet of the rim.

He also bobbled a pass Hayward gave him (right in his chest) that would have resulted in a dunk (luckily Hayward got the ball back and actually found him for an alley-oop that he surprisingly caught). The fact is that players know the skills of the players they are playing with. The Jazz know Gobert struggles with passes so as a result they know they have to be selective in what they feed him. You can't just throw any pass to Gobert..

Holy ****, did you miss my "horrendous shooting" update at halftime. 33% of our shots from three were airballs for all intents and purposes, wide-open threes. Let's tar and feather the ******* for taking 5 shots and making 3. Do you want to mention every time every other player ****ed up in this game?

I'm having that carved into marble as we speak. It was as if the heavens rumbled when you decreed that!
 
Crazy how good Andre Miller still is at age 38. It was pretty funny to watch him abuse all of our guards in the post at will. Quin definitely picked an awful matchup to give Clark a shot.

I guess JJAS and Jamez will join The Thriller on my ignore list.

Good god, no. It's actually something that I should have done to you years ago as well. I refrained because you would actually say something that was not dogmatic every month or so. That's actually better for my anxiety level, since I can't stand dogmatic pricks, who only love to hear/read themselves speak/write. I'm so glad you don't do anything to really influence people in real life!
