Why the Jazz Can't Beat the Rockets With Gobert

We just need to start making shots and working harder on defense. It isn't anything complicated, although it is easier said than done.

Using zone against one of the best shooting teams in the NBA seems like a bad joke.

3-2 zone is different than 2-3 zone. There are many different ways to use different types of zones as well.
Some are to defend the paint, some to defend the three ball, some are simply matchup zones.

I know I don’t like gobert guarding cp3 or harden on the 3 point line though, that’s for sure. So I would like to see a style of defense that decreases the amount of times I see that happen.... whatever defense that may be.

There is no zone that is better at defending the 3pt line than man to man. There is a very good reason why you dont see zone in the NBA unless it's against a team who doesnt have enough shooting on the floor.

Let's do a box and 1 on Harden like the schools did to me in Jr. High.
 
I hope DM finds a way to spend a month with Kobe this summer. Man would that take his game to another level as quick as he is to catch on and apply learning.

I do feel like having gobert and favors length and ability to cover so much ground could make for a good 3-2 zone though. I think the jazz are unique in that way. The two bigs can cover almost all the area inside the arc and our perimeter defenders could smother 3 point shooters. And use the perimeter guys in a matchup zone scheme rather than straight up zone.

But the whole issue w/ them vs the Rockets is they have to cover too much ground....
 
The Rockets would probably shoot 60% from 3 against a zone. It has no chance of working for any extended stretch. I dont think it would be even work in single possessions.
