If I was Gobert I'd refuse to screen for Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson only sees Rudy as a full-back to run behind when he's trying to get his floater off.

Quite smart play from the guys. Nice to see that.

I hate that MIke Conley shoots that floater instead of hitting Gobert for the lob. Yeah, he makes it, but it's an even easier lob and you get Gobert going

I thought the same thing on that one. Easy lob

He’s not good at his basketball job because his basketball job requires too much of him? He can and has done better in the past… he’s lost some hunger.

Yeah, Idk why you are making this weird, but yeah. Royce is not in the correct role currently and it's hurting him. In the past he shared a lot of defensive responsibility with Ingles. Ingles use to be able help Royce out with matchups. Now Royce has all that and more minutes, and he's being stretched too thin. That doesnt make him a bad player. It just makes him someone who is being asked to do too much.

Royce is like Jesus Christ. He's dying for everyone else's defensive sins.

Nah, He mostly just sucks

Nah he shouldn’t get that much… he’s been passed around more than Hearskys mom. Waive his 6M and sign him to a minimum

Imagine if his contract were guaranteed and Gay’s wasn’t.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If he firmly grasps the ball and catches it he can definitely do some damage.

I think the biggest key is just the defender has to be soft, like a Melo. The thing Gobert gets those switches a decent amount. Just got to recognize it. Strong/physical players are who give Gobert trouble in the post.

 

[fishonjazz]

yeah, that should be a flagrant 1 on Russ.

Im shocked they didnt even review that. Hit him in the face.
Then fouls him hard again later and holds his arm after the play.
He is a bitch

If Rudy and Mike can push themselves and go for 20 every game, it may help a lot. And Don don't need to act as he have to save the team. Lakers are so bad that there is not much conclusion we can get from this game but let's say it's a start...

 

[Elizah Huge]

Gobert has dominated the entire game.

 

[fishonjazz]

Oh wow, Gobert scored on a clear mismatch in the post against a soft defender? Crazy how Utah doesnt try to do that more.

The defender should have flopped. Probably would have got the call in this game
