Why the Jazz Can't Beat the Rockets With Gobert

Of course Rudy must play, i´m sure Quinn won´t sleep during this series working on this adjustment. But, as an idea, maybe could be interesting to play Udoh to try to cut the p&r with Capela with hard defense over him (6 faults). Against The Rockets you have to try to slow their pace, with good defense, time outs and faults and even with all of this could be not enough.

This same kind of logic cost the Thunder the series. They refused to bench Melo until it was too late because "that's the team they built".

And yeah you're probably going to spout some garbage about how Melo is not Gobert, yada yada while missing the bigger picture. Every situation is different and you play people more or less accordingly. Hopefully Snyder is smarter than this and makes adjustments instead of being a stubborn ******* like you.

Melo isn’t okc best player.

Tell me about a time when a team benched their best player due to matchups.

At some point in this series there will be a thread about trading Rudy and keeping Favs.

Nah cause Rudy gonna bounce back like he always does
 
This video didn't say the Jazz can't win with Gobert. It said unless he changes his game. I agree with that actually, and it highlighted the issues he had. Given two days rest and Quin's adjustments, that won't happen again. The Rockets were unusually hot from 3 as well and we're one of the better teams at defending it. Just have to play smarter. Jazz win Game 2 if someone lights up.

I had trouble understanding your response - I would have to go back in the thread. Can you in the future provide more detail instead of just responding to the specific poster who would be the only one to understand it -- do you get I mean?

Is this a joke?

The solutions are in the video. Also, people here tend to just read the headline or a sentence of a paragraph without actually reading and synthesizing the entire argument, and I'm not going to waste my time anymore.

But to answer your question, the video points out adjustments that Gobert can make (explicitly and implicitly). You try that first and hope Gobert can make the drastic adjustments. If he can't adjust, then the best thing I can think of is try Crowder in his place (even though I'm not a fan of Crowder) or make Favors play some offense. Favors has the size advantage and should be able to abuse the Rocket bigs.

A plan C would be to make Harden and one other 3 point shooter on their team play a lot of defense. If Harden gets assigned an easier guy, make him switch on the pick and roll so that he's constantly needing to guard. His 3 point percentage will go down as he gets gassed. But this plan really hinges on Ingles, Burks, or Mitchell making them pay every time which seems unlikely.
