GAME 1: Little Ricky's journey to the playoffs -- Jazz @ Thunder 4/15/18 4:30 pm MST

He’s also tougher.

No, not really. Gobert has come back from 2 separate knee injuries this year and will win DPOY. He is tough. Just because he isnt as strong as Adams doesnt mean he isnt as tough.

We tried Ingles out and he had to have given us a negative swing.

You know this is a bad argument

Not really that is not a fair assessment. He brought us back no one else on the Jazz did that.

He did? Last time I checked the Jazz remained losing.

What happened to the Jingles/Favors pick and roll that’s been so successful lately?

The difference of intensity between a regular season game and playoff.

 

[Mission Accomplished]

Gobert is not finesse, wtf are you saying?

Geez, stop Locke save it for your podcast. Let me guess some time the shots just don't go down?

Stop to belittle him just because doesn't fit Quin's system. This team needs players that can create their own shot too, not only defensive players that can't shot. Butks could be a Will Barton type of player.

If Burks had the green light to attack the basket, I think he could be very useful offensively.

Burks has always been terrible at attacking the basket...

 

[Miggs]

For the record, I think Royce plays good defense against people that are not superstars or really fast (I would disagree about him playing great defense against KD).

If we were playing the Timberwolves, Pelicans, or Spurs, I would be fine with him having playing time, as he would be effective. But we are playing the Thunder, so I'm not fine with it.

Why? Cause Burks is gonna offer defense that’s so much better?

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Gobert could definitely get better at boxing out.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Adams is a glorified goon who gets to play with the best penetrating PG in the NBA. Let's not act like he is Gobert's equal in any facet.

 

[Miggs]

No, not really. Gobert has come back from 2 separate knee injuries this year and will win DPOY. He is tough. Just because he isnt as strong as Adams doesnt mean he isnt as tough.

And just because he’s gonna win DPOY doesn’t mean he’s tough. Hes simply long as **** and has solid athleticism (and brains) given that size. He’s a fake tough guy imo. Not many are true ones. But Adams is. And Gobert postures.

He lost the confidence in his game due to injuries and because Quin does not trust him.

You are dumb as **** if you actually think that.

 

[Miggs]

You are dumb as **** if you actually think that.

Okay.

 

[Miggs]

Btw I’m not calling Gobert a ***** either. But let’s not confuse being good on defense and talented in that regard for toughness.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Gobert is a giant with a high center of gravity. Yes, stronger bulkier players are going to have a physical advantage by being able to push him. That doesnt make him less tough. The dude fights his *** off. We getting flaming bag of doodoo takes right now.

There have always been freaks in the NBA, and very few have ever turned any team into a defensive powerhouse by themselves. Gobert is an amazing basketball player.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Guys last year Gobert sprained his knee in the Clippers series and came back in that same series.

The dude isnt tough though. Just fake tough.

**** off with these garbage takes.

Bring back the dislike button and neg rep, I'm begging you.

You know it's bad when we're discussing AB after game 1

You spinning out Locke. Stop with the hard. AB played great top player tonight. He only got time because everyone else laid eggs.

And again, that doesn’t make him tough. Not sure why people have trouble separating the two.
