Interesting info graphic from Andy Larson’s article about the reduced impact of Gobert this season. https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2018/11/24/jazz-lakers-analysis-by/

This is what I was talking about. Rudy has sucked at defense. I have no idea why... it ain’t the new rules. It makes no sense.

Gobert has been indifferent on defense. More interested in grabbing the rebound.

He struggles with that at times too... I’m worried he’s more concerned with catching lobs.

We have the flu. Rubio got it and it is contagious. Now even Rudy has it. We are mentally weakened from the poor shooting. Our mojo has left the building.

But I still believe. Seriously I do. Confidence is contagious and eventually we'll start clicking. Too bad it's taking so long. But Quin need to give us some antibiotics in the form of challenging our players with lineup changes.

It's very noticeable. He doesn't even contest shots anymore. Did you see that replay when some Lakers player tried to dunk it on Gobert and missed? That was no thanks to Gobert, who just jumped with his arms down.

It reminds me of the Al years.

That's also something I noticed. The flopping. On every ****ing play.

I think that’s part of it that I don’t blame him on. He gets hit in the face neck etc on so many block attempts... the. They give Rudy the foul... maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to block shots anymore.

Him being average is most of the problem on D.

I don't know. He's not the only tall guy in the NBA. Also, this happens every game, where he gets hit and doesn't get the call, and never runs back on D because he's acting like he was knocked out and arguing with the ref.

This Jazz team is ****ing painful. This same roster was my favorite Jazz team of all time last year. lmao. What a world.

I agree. Time to start Exum. See what happens. Ricky needs a fire lit under his ***.

During last year's run, the strength of the team "was the team". That was true. Overplayed at least publicly, but it was true. Rubio was a huge ingredient to that formula. Exum, amongst other deficiencies to his game, brings little to the teams' chemistry. Both his iso game on the court and outlying personality off the court adds very little to what was at least, this teams biggest reason for success.

Unless we are in tank mode, Snyder has to play Ricky. I'm almost with you though, play Exum, as tank mode isn't too far off.

you should take your head out of something you have no clue about. this creep, Tak, has been harassing me for months and months because I'm a fan of Derrick Favors. Yes, you heard that correctly. My crime is being a fan of and vouching for Derrick Favors. This TAK character has repeatedly said nothing but outrageous and derogatory insults at me and frankly i'm sick and tired of it. On the contrary, I nailed his situation down to the T and that's why he is now completely silent.

TAK is very aggressive, very nasty and hot tempered, can't have a civilized conversation without insulting. Pretentious. Kinda like you, popeye

I would like you to provide some sort of evidence of those "months and months of harassing" you lying wacko.

And no, you being a Faves fan it's not why I gave you flak, it's you saying Gobert is trash, slow, he should be traded, and Favors is so so much better than him the reason why I trolled you, because really, that take is so idiotic it got seared in my mind like that stupid Christmas song you heard in the mall. Haunting.

The only one with a nasty, hot tempered and aggressive response was you, I even send you exes and os!

Rudy’s trying to cover his man getting a lob, counter a guard who’s blown by our perimeter defenders and avoid picking up cheap fouls in this wonderful new NBA.

He’ll come around. But we have to fix our perimeter D

Rudy is gaurding the penetrating attacker who our defensive scheme funnels into him. He then has to make the choice of who to stop in the pnr.

I don't know what happened to our defenders and our overall length was once an asset, but our lack of athleticism gaurding the three point line and being able to recover on the pnr is lacking.

Our players are flawed and our scheme is flawed. This is not on Rudy.

I think the Jazz are one of the better teams at defending the 3 this year.

rubio gets blown by about 100x a game.
 
so back home from thanksgiving and finally watched a replay of the game. they finally play good D and then shoot even worse than they had been. having o'neale and exum on the floor together was RIDICULOUSLY STUPID. There were a few possessions where they were wide open for a 3 or midrange jumper and neither one even dared to look at the hoop or shoot. they needed offense to win this game and quin trots out a **** lineup for most of the 4th. and i'm a staunch/admittedly biased allen supporter, but the amount of hate towards him in this game thread is ridiculous. I was reading through before watching the game and couldn't imagine he'd be as terrible in 3 minutes of play as a few people were making him out to be. in his few minutes, he created a turnover on mcgee by rotating down to the post and knocking the ball away, he contested a 3 by KCP, went on the break and was clearly fouled by KCP on his dunk attempt, he got fouled again in the halfcourt by KCP after driving by him and again with no call, then got in a bad size matchup against his former teammate ingram on a post-up and actually held his own/ground until getting called for a weak foul. quin rightfully pulled him out after that due to the bad matchup, but he should've gotten minutes in the 2nd half when the offense was lacking and royce/dante weren't doing anything. not much more to make of his minutes other than that.
 
The defense would look a lot better if our offense was putting the ball in the hoop more and allowing the defense to get set up more often
