    Gobert update thread

    The FO and coaching staff have to play this situation as sneakily as possible. We won't get precise timelines because they need to keep the Clips on their toes. For such a massive big, a leg injury sucks big time, last year it took him a long time to get back at being the player he could be...

    Pelton: NBA All-Defense picks: Should Green or Gobert win DPOY?

    Look this is just homerism. Green's stats are equally awesome, Look at this table, Gobert and Green are there together collecting 1st and 2nd places in all key indicators. The truth is that both Gobert and Green are fantastic defenders and worthy DPOYs, Gobert is a titan at the rim but Green...

    Utah Jazz vs. Portland Trailblazers. April 4th.

    Yep most certainly. To keep a real chance of homecourt advantage this is indeed a litteral "must win".

    2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

    I hadn't thought of the impact the draft might have on Hill's stock... I think there is a possibility a deal can be found for his contract thanks in part to his injuries this season that will have lowered his value. 4 season at 20ish per with the 4th being a player option would be a solid deal...

    Rudy should be frontrunner for DPOTY right?

    wow chill out dude, he has a very valid point, awards are not like scoring title or what, once you ask people to VOTE it opens the vote to many more criteria be them conscious or unconscious than just stats, it's a fact we shouldn't forget.

    Rudy should be frontrunner for DPOTY right?

    I disagree, there is also the need for relative novelty : just like award givers didn't want to give the MVP to Jordan or Lebron all the time, whihc in truth was wrong because Jordans should have been MVP basically non stop during his best years and so should have James.. But there is a need for...

    2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

    Yeah it's great to feel the difference between those end of seasons where you have nothing to play for and know, 15/20 games from the end already, that the season is useless. Suddenly relevance and competition remind us that oooo yes, this is sports, this is what is good.

    Rudy DPOY - Sam Amick is dead to me

    Of course, the question is would those Warriors have a better record than the one current warriors have, and same for the Jazz. We don't know at all.

    Rudy DPOY - Sam Amick is dead to me

    advanced stats aren't all there is... record matters as well.

    Rudy DPOY - Sam Amick is dead to me

    Come on, giving it to Green wouldn't be an outrage at all, the guy isn't big yet he can defend all position and is a key in what the Warriors have been able to do the last 3 years.. Green/Gobert is to me a toss up, Green will win it probably. If someone else does then it's an outrage.

    Rudy should be frontrunner for DPOTY right?

    All star is different, it's a beauty contest after all, so stats are less meaningful to me.

    Favors

    Same. Favors is a great player but between his injury history and the salary conundrum, add to that the question of what fits the best around Gobert... Th writing is indeed on the wall.

    Jazz at Pissers: 5pm MT on NBALP, ROOT, KNS

    Pfff... This team is still young, and gets confused easily. It's not a matter of heart or guts, it's a matter of calm and experience, because we have talent but not so much more than the others that it could compensate for mistakes.

    2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

    the jazz don't have the luxury to think about 2nd round matchups. The key issue is to get homecourt in the first round to get a better chance of getting out of that round. If the Jazz make it to the second round, the season is a success whatever happens.

    Rudy Gobert will retire as the greatest Jazzman ever.

    No because I can already tell you what decision the defense will make : defend him as before and let him shoot it if he wants to...

    Rudy Gobert will retire as the greatest Jazzman ever.

    OK, yes all skills are valuable, if Gobert could become a 40% 3pt shooter it would be very valuable as well.. My overall point is about realism/need. Do we need Gobert to developp a jumpshot ? no we can do without even though it would be great. Is it realistic to wish for him to develop a...

    Rudy Gobert will retire as the greatest Jazzman ever.

    The point isn't that they should be easy, the point is that they suck.... Why would we want Gobert to invest in a skill that sucks ? sorry to put it bluntly but I'd rather he became even more adept at the rim and stayed healthy...

    Rudy Gobert will retire as the greatest Jazzman ever.

    Yes but if ou shoot 50% on wide open 10 footers : 1/ you are not good at them. 2/ it's not a winning proposition for the team, a 3pt attempt at 34% or better is better and so would of course that the gigantic Gobert try to get a bit nearer for a baby hook or lay up or dunk... my overall point ...
