Has a DPOY ever been exposed so badly as Rudy Gobert?

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Niccas bout to focus on Rudy when the Jazz collectively can't even stay in front of somebody.



Donovan Mitchell is a horrendous defender. WOAT status. The Jazz used to clamp teams a few years ago and lost ALL that identity.

 

[LV Koopa]

HE DIDNT DO ANY OF THAT.

HE CAME DOWN THE COURT
AND IMMEDIATELY SAT IN THE PAINT.

CLIPS PLAYERS PUT THEIR HEADS
DOWN AND DROVE HARD WITH
WITH THE INTENT TO PASS THE BALL.

​

Jazz had a man in the dunker spot. Guard drives in off a screen, the perimeter defender gets lost. Rudy has to either sit in the paint or rotate out to cover the corner since the other perimeter defender originally guarding him is forced to help. Clippers ran a variation of this damn near every time in the 3rd.

If he leaves the paint too early its a layup. Asking him to run to the corner AFTER defending the initial action is a lot. If Utah's perimeter players don't keep getting burned he doesn't have to make such tough decisions.

A center exposed cause he cant guards on the perimeter? Coli.com

Man shouldnt be on the floor against lineups like that

Show the actual play develop and not stills.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

You can't play a less mobile center against a team playing 5 out. This is part of the new NBA. Any DPOY like Rudy would have been exposed in the same circumstance, it's part of the evolution of the league.

He's a great asset against every lineup without a 4/5 who can shoot the rock at a high level, but once you plug in that crazy shyt you see what happens.

So when Conley gets beat off the dribble, or Mitchell gets blown by and Rudy starts hedging early to help its HIS fault? And not the guards? Lmao stop it.

I LITERALLY POSTED THE
1ST POSSESSION OF THE GAME
AND YOU REPLY WITH THIS DUMB shyt.

HE WAS SITTING IN THE PAINT
FROM THE VERY START.

THEIR 1ST BUCKET WAS AN OPEN
MANN 3

[Starboy52]

I don’t wanna hear shyt about how Gobert is the most important player on the team again. Not when he’s a self check on Offense and can be rendered a non factor on defense by placing one extra shooter on the court.

I swear you have selective vision. I already TOLD you how the Clippers were generating those 3s in the 3rd quarter. Simple screen action to burn Utah's guards. A few plays where Rudy doesn't run out on HIS primary assignment doesn't describe the entire game. How about you load up youtube and ACTUALLY watch how the play develops instead of coming in here with your nonsense? Utah's perimeter defense was the main reason they lost this game, not Gobert. He's just the dude getting singled out because he's the DPOY and had to clean up everything.

The shooter at the 5 spot was just icing on the cake. Didn't matter who Utah had at Center - Clippers were getting penetration like crazy from the perimeter.

I mean yeah, the horrific defense by Utah guards was a big issue. That's where a healthy Conley would have really helped them. But Gobert was only out of position cause they put a shooter at the 5, that made a real difference.
