No, you play Gobert. Jazz can't go away from their biggest strength. You win or lose with Gobert. You arent benching (or playing him less minutes) your star player to experiment with lesser talent.

That's an idiotic way of thinking. You first try to see if you can win with Gobert. But if we are still getting blown out near the end of the 3rd quarter of the 2nd game, then you test out a new strategy before heading home for game 3.

No, then you play Gobert some more. Then you play Gobert some more. You try out Gobert shooting some 3's before you bench or significantly decrease Gobert's minutes.

We have somebody calling for the benching of Rudy Gobert, but people still call me a contrarian?

If we can’t find a way to beat a good team with Gobert then our team is completely broken.

Luckily it’s not the case. Gobert is 25 and the best player on the team. No clue why he gets such a bad rap here. It’d be like having Giannis but hating him because he can’t shoot. Can we let the guy learn and adjust a bit? Why do people assume that people can’t improve in defensive areas as well as offensive?

Gobert will figure it out, he already was towards the end of the game. And if he doesn’t then we had no chance anyway.
 
Talk about being a prisoner of the moment.

Gobert has a bad game and he is now worthless.

Lol, thats ridiculous.

Gobert is gonna beast next game. I guarantee it.
 
I wonder what the shortest turnaround time in league history is for a playoff game. That **** was 36 and a half hours, basically a back-to-back.

I'm not bummed the Jazz this one, I am bummed that Donovan sprained his ankle.

I"m not too mad. Unless the Jazz can play over their heads and force the Rockets into not playing to their level, the Rockets are simply a better team. It pains me a bit to say that, but the truth is the truth.

We need to take this series as a test to see what we need to improve in to compete with the top team.

Obviously development and experience are needed, and this whole playoff run gives us a lot of that.

I'd like to test people like Exum because we have a big decision coming in the offseason on his contract.

Houston is the best team in the NBA right now, and I'd like to see how far behind we are.
With Ricky, and Thabo maybe this is a close game? It really sucks that we dont have some of our key rotation players,
but we can still learn a lot.

Guess we can say the Hood-for-Crowder trade has worked out for the Jazz.

Last I looked Hood played 7 mins and scored 0 points. He really is a roll streaky kind of player. His roll is less with them than us.

I wonder how he feels about "The Land" now...?
