There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

to be fair Capela has 2 HoF guards, both who've led the league in assists, setting the table for him.The Jazz absolutely disappear in big games - especially games on ESPN, TNT and the playoffs. Gobert has played awful against Capella. He should dominate him.
While I mostly agree, Goberts dominance on defense is what makes him the player that he is. I have yet to see or really feel that dominance or "Gobert effect". On the other hand I do think Capella is having a effect on our God awful offensive display.@Wes Mantooth
I know you don't care about stats but:
This playoff series
Capela points per game:11.5
Gobert points per game: 16.5
Capela rebounds per game: 11.0
Gobert rebounds per game: 12.0
Capela free throws: 0.5 for 1.5 per game (33%)
Gobert free throws:5.5 for 6.5 (85%)
Capela shooting percentage: 64.7%
Gobert shooting percentage: 68.8%
They play about the same minutes per game. (31 for capela and 32 for gobert)
The capela vs gobert matchup isn't what is killing the jazz.
Gobert averaging 16.5 and 12 on 69% shooting is not bad at all.

Ding ding ding! Meanwhile Utah has a second year guard and a PG who can't shoot. I guarantee you if Gobert was on the Rockets no one would be taking about his shortcomings.to be fair Capela has 2 HoF guards, both who've led the league in assists, setting the table for him.

Here are some raw stats for all the starting centers in the playoffs
Al horford is averaging 7 points and 10 rebounds on 38% from the field and 25% from three
Myles Turner is averaging 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game on 38.5% from the field and 28.6% from three.
Enes kanter is averaging 13 and 11.5 on 50% from the field and zero percent from three.
Marc gasol is averaging 11 and 4.5 in 57 percent and 55 percent
Nikola vucevic is averaging 8.5 and 7 on 28.6% from the field and 25% from three
Steven Adams is averaging 16.5 and 9 on 68% from the field
Joel embiid is averaging 22.5 and 12.5 per game on 48% from the field and zero percent from three
Jarret Allen is averaging 8.7 and 5.7 on 61.5% shooting
Nikola jokic is averaging 17.7 and 11.7 on 50% from the field and 42% from three (and 9.7 assists!)
Jakob puetl is averaging 7 and 7 on 60% from the field and zero percent from 3.
Andrew bogut is averaging 4.7 and 8 on 75% from the field
Iviva zubac is averaging 6.7 and 7 on 56% from the field
Andre Drummond is averaging 15 and 14 on 50% from the field and zero percent from 3.
Brook Lopez is averaging 11 and 4.5 on 47% from the field and 37% from 3
Boogie is averaging 5.5 and 5.5 on 31% from the field and 33% from 3.
Gobert 16.5 and 12 on 69% shooting.
So out of 17 centers in these playoffs, if you account for defense as well, I would say that gobert is top 3. Embiid (who I already thought is better) would be 1st imo, jokic (who Rudy owns when they play each other) would be 2nd, and gobert 3rd.
Not too shabby.
