Nope and that’s why they aren’t a real contender once the playoffs start. Regular season team.

To anyone still dumb enough to question the elite impact that Gobert has on the game: watch the Jazz's last 4 games and go back to basketball school

Not sure why anyone would believe it. Jazz struggle almost every time Gobert is out

This game feels like a scrimmage. Sign of two **** teams.

Lakers have “figured it out”.

AFAIK Jazz fans dont debate it at all. Almost all of them agree its Rudy. Its only debatable among ppl who dont watch Jazz games and then see a Mitchell highlight when he has a big game

Was a good first half, felt like there were a lot of stoppages though.

I don’t think there has been any real question about Gobert and the Jazz in the regular season.

It’s the playoffs when elite teams force Gobert out of the paint to guard on the perimeter that the Jazz go down with a whimper.

Their offensive has been great with LeBron as their center but as great as their offense has been their interior defense is total disaster as LeBron center. On top of not rotating properly and not offering any help defense he doesn't even defend his man shooting 3s. I saw some stat where they allowed almost 70 points in the paint in some recent game and wouldn't be surprised if they are averaging around 60 points in the paint with LeBron starting as a center

Zach Lavine is such a great shooter.

Straight beat down but the Jazz started 2 guards and 3 SFs. The Cavs started 1 PG, 2 PFs, and 2 Cs.

Haha. I kind of meant this in jest, as they "figure it out" vs bad teams and get blown out by good ones.

Close game in Chicago. If they just didn't foul Harden on 3 point shots they might be winning.

Mamba Mentality · Post #95 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:27 am

Lebron contesting 7 feet away. God damn his close outs have been embarrassing today.

Mamba Mentality · Post #96 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:29 am

Kings have cracked the code and figured how to attack this Swiss cheese defense. We better continue hitting shots at a solid clip or else this game is gonna get outta hand.

LeBron's old ass cannot play center on defense lol. It just doesn't work. He doesn't have the energy to even attempt to protect the rim and he's too undersized to be a deterrent.

I see Harden is back to getting BS foul calls

Mamba Mentality · Post #99 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:31 am

Layup drill for the Kings with Lebron at center.
