Utah Jazz vs. L.A. Lakers Roster. Who owns who and why?

[Kyoto]

Rondo is such a negative on the court. He is such a bad player

I personally cannot wait for LeBron to get Jingled.

I love Gobert, but at least be real. Davis is definitely better than him when healthy

PG: Conley>Rondo
SG: Mitchell>Green
SF: Ingles/Bogey<Lebron
PF: Ingles/Bogey>Kuzma
C: Gobert=Davis

Though, if that's the Lakers starting lineup they wouldn't be able to get a point from their bench. I think a starting 5 of Rondo, Bradley, Lebron, Davis & McGee would be WAY better for them. Kuzma is only good for offense and he isn't getting touches if he's on the floor with LBJ, Davis, Green/Bradley.

That's good point. I also think that guarding both Lebron and Davis will be the challange for us giving our weakness at 4. Some are really underestimeting Lakers but if they get healthy to playoffs they may be tough. I still like our chances because our team is more balanced and deeper but I don't think that it will be so easy as some paint it.

I dont see any spacing for the Lakers sso they will be forced to challenge Rudy at the rim. We on the other hand are going to crush them from outside with Bojan and Jingles receiving kickouts from Don and Conley pnr's with Rudy. Take that away and it lobs all day. I think we can take the Lakers in 5.

You would think that would show up in the win column. Has the Jazz roster been significantly better than the Pelicans outside of their stars? I think Davis coasts a lot. Is he a much better player than he was 3 years ago? I know without a doubt that Rudy will be better this year than last. Until proven otherwise, I consider Davis to be the Tracey McGrady of centers. Godly in spurts, but when the chips are down? Ehhhhh.

Quin + anyone > Vogel + Kidd

The only addition I hate for Lakers is D. Green. That guy is ultimate champion, role player and very versatile defender. Not even talking his 3pt shooting. I wish he would have gone somewhere else. He will give Mitchell problems.

Gobert's defense is better than Davis' offense when going head to head. I just looked back at Anthony Davis' box scores when playing the Jazz and he only had two games that were a positive +/-. Those two games were in the 2017-2018 season when Davis was going against Jerebko because Gobert was injured.
Literally every single game that Davis has faced Gobert since 2016, Davis has been negative +/- and Gobert has been positive. Gobert knows how to shut his a** down.

 

[Shad]

Davis hasn't really played with anyone decent and still swept the Blazers. Cousins (for 1 year before getting injured) and holiday are the only notable players he's played with. This year with Lebron will REALLY show if Davis > Gobert when they play head to head.

 

[TheTrippleThreat]

Davis is a better overall two way player but Rudy's defensive impact is greater than Davis's stand alone offense or defense. One on one Id take Davis. Lakers vs Jazz ill take Gobert.

i think the lakers gonna go with lebron - bradley - green - kuzma - davis as their starting lineup, not rondo as starting pg (a job he already lost there last season)
