I dont think rudy has looked good so far.
This is Goberts 7th season. So far this is his second worst season from the field (50%. Only his rookie year was worse) and worst season from the line (25%) and 2nd worst season getting to the line (2 attempst per game. Only his rookie year was worse).
Worst year of his career by far for blocks (0.5 per game).
Worst year of his career by far for turnovers (3.5 per game)
Worst year of his career for committing fouls (4 per game)
Worst year of his career for rebounding per 36 (11.8)
Worst year of his career for points per game per 36 (7.7)

Statistically Ruby Gobert is having the worst year of his career by far. Its obviously a small sample size and i dont expect him to continue his poor play, but so far he has sucked.

Good was probably a stretch, but I do think he's looked pretty dang good on D (even by his standard) and the offensive issues I'd put a lot onto the guards.

Rebounding in particular I wouldn't focus on too much (his defensive rebounding seems good as ever), the offensive end feels like a strategic choice to me, as now we only have the one big we really need him to focus on getting back on D.
 
I have told myself that I’m just happy for any wins in the first ten games, so I’m sticking by that broad idea. Last night only makes sense given the circumstances, although the Lakers deserve some credit for just playing really well last night.

I’m encouraged where the defense is at, Mitchell, and Mudiay.
 
LeBron was the difference last night in the third quarter. Other than that the Lakers were near as bad as us. He can still take a game over whenever he desires.
 
Hard to defend him when he can just back you down and not get called for an offensive. Meanwhile, the Jazz get called for multiple BS offensives in the 3rd qtr.
 
and WTH is with the carry on Ingles in the 3rd? I see 100 carries a game that aren't called. Refs can swing a game without you fools even noticing.
 
I will give credit to the Laker's swarming D. It seemed like every time a Jazz ballhandler penetrated he'd have 3 Lakers contesting him. The Jazz have got to improve at drawing a defender and then getting a good shot off a pass. I remember one play in the 3rd when Don M got swarmed and found ONeale open at the 3 point line, but Oneale wasn't looking for the shot, he wasn't squared up and ready, so he just passed it quick, when he should have shot it. You've got to know where you want to shoot it from , get there, and be ready to shoot it.

I'm just saying that with Rubio at the point the last 25 games last year, the Jazz were a joy to watch, averaging 20-30 assists a game and having a dozen dunks from our big guys! Oh, and by the way we won about 18 of 22 games to end the season!

No they weren't, Watching Rubio jack up missed 3 after missed 3 was pathetic. And him turning it over was frustrating as hell to watch.

Mike Conley while shooting 1-21 or so, helped the offense in the 1st 7 quarters more than Rubio did for 2 years here. I couldn't have been Happier when I realized that guy was gone. I realized it at the trade deadline last year when they tried to trade his ***.

Well, lets see if we can win 50 games with the new guys we traded for.....because I KNOW we would have won at least another 50 games had we kept Rubio and Favors!

You don't know ****. The west got FAR MORE difficult this year. I miss Favors on the team and I believe he could have helped. But this team is better and the record at the end may or may not show it. But last years team in this years league probably wins 45-48 games.
