An entire playoff series is 13 possession! THIRTEEN! In 6 games. Lets say 80 possessions per game. 25% of 80 is 20. in 6 games - 120 possessions. Only 13 of them were against Gobert. You are an idiot if you are taking this sample over you know... the entirety of Gobert's career when determining if he's good or bad in isolation.
I don't think he is trying to say Rudy is a bad defender. I just think he's trying to say Rudy is not some perfect, never one of our issues player y'all try to portray him as.
Google what an X-out is and try to learn basic fundamental basketball terms like helping the helper.
Off-ball defense is a thing, you know(hopefully).
Yeah, we look like this quite a bit. Our wings and #6 being planted in the paint while wide open 3's are going up.
What were you expecting?
Not if you watched the jazz this year it isn't.
Look... I just want to make "that's what she said jokes" when you talk about small sample sizes... I have nothing to add except you'd think these guys would be very familiar with the issues that come with dealing with tiny sample sizes.
I hope this is the case. Not so certain anymore.
That's why I said what I said. The wings screwed up to start. However, there were no post threats and #6's guy was also wide *** open and ready to shoot it. He should have helped out.
There was a post threat as otherwise there wouldn't be much need for rotation and the offensive team wouldn't directly set it up. You can see how defensive players gravitate towards it and there seems to be some size advantage.
There was zero post threat. The pass went to the corner and he should have seen that two guys were wide freaking open up top. Any effort would have been better than just standing stuck in the paint.
They touch the paint as soon as the ball goes into the paint, clearly they are worried. The pass only happens because the paint is sealed off. #6 is not responsible for the **** up. If the wings execute it properly we can see if he recovers back but he can't jump rotation because that puts 3 guys on 2 and leaves a clear path to the rim. Also the guy he is sagging off is Bourousis, not very well known as a shooter.
I prefer him in the West so we can dunk on that clown
Good luck for Mitchell getting to the hoop and shooting wide open threes with Gobert traded, and good luck hitting 40+ wins.
