Kobe Helping the Jazz?

[NUMBERICA]

The two biggest things he talks about: Mitchell has to draw fouls and Gobert has to seal better. I dont think either of those things are going to be magically learned this series. Mitchell hasnt been good at drawing fouls all year. His whole attacking the rim revolves around avoiding contact by slipping and extending around defenders.

Dead on. The good news is they've been this good without those aspects in-play. I actually love that Donovan's game doesn't RELY on the refs, but he does have to learn to create contact because when he makes that part of his mentality, he should be able to get to the line any time he wants with how much he destabilizes defenses.

But yeah, Gobert really needs to work on quick, simple post work and the staff needs to implement whatever progress into the gameplan so they can neutralize certain defensive strategies that allow the opponent to go small and win the matchup more than they should.

I mean, this helps the Rockets just as much as the Jazz.

Nope. We took down their internet access in phase one of the attack.

I think Kobe was spot on about Gobert too. He has to seal better and stop allowing others to push him out of position. He could be such better offensive player if he did.

Get Kobe a Jazz jersey and ink him to a ten-day.

I now see my folly.

I don't think you even begin to see it.

Yeah, but he also has a small butt and a high center of gravity. Like Kobe said, the other players have to pass Gobert the ball in a spot where Paul cant strip him.

I watched the Details show last night, and I wondered if Donovan had had a chance to watch it. Guess so lol. Glad that he did and hope that he can pick a few things up from Kobe’s analysis of his game.

Getting Capela in foul trouble would be dope— I never thought of it. We would straight buzzsaw Nene if that’s who came in to replace him

Slowing the game down is the key. If we can get those whistles, we are taking away Rockets easy fast break opportunities

I would love to see Rudy work on his core strength this summer to avoid being moved off of spots like he is at times. I would also like to see him go up stronger around the rim when he has the ball. He relies a little too much on finesse sometimes.

No doubt, although I wonder how much of this has more to do with balance vs strength. This is the area of the game where Gobert's length and height works against him, his high center of gravity makes it easier to move him around.
