What is Gobert doing on defense? Can't let Jokic shoot practice shots from 3.

We can't guard the perimeter. This is not new. Gobert is covering the rim. But this game no one is playing any defense so it's par for the course right now.

I wonder if we are going to play any defense this game?

looks like a typical jazz-nuggs game to me

 

[LogGrad98]

Does taking Jokic out of the second half count?

I'll take what I can get.

Rudy’s FT’s tonight are bleh.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I want nothing to do wtih the Nuggets when Murray is healthy.

It's not so much that I'm worried about Gobert. Jokic going off isnt the worst thing. It's that the Jazz players just can't guard anyone when Gobert isn't in the paint and Jokic is going to pick apart the defense. Aaron Gordon being this emboldened against Bogey is also not great.

I hate that we blew that double-digit lead. The team that decides it wants to play defense tonight will win. Their transition D was trash in the start and ours is joining in on the fun.

 

[LogGrad98]

The good thing is they are calling a lot less flopping.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Small ball. Let’s see how we do

 

[LogGrad98]

Bogey down the Lane and throws down the anvil?

Attack the basket por favor

Nuggets with Gordon are a much better team.

Gordon is good for one of these games about a dozen times per season.

Quin using a challenge three games into the season. Things getting serious.

 

[NAOS]

extremely ****** 3rd quarter so far.

 

[The Thriller]

Really hope joker is ok.

 

[The Thriller]

I know joker is hurt.. but have we noticed that teams are almost exclusively going small against us? They’re going small and having success.

Game turned into a bummer. Pretty terrible performance so far. Defense has been laughable.

Our defense goes from elite to league bottom when teams pull Gobert out of the paint. Which we will inevitably run into every playoffs.

It's going to be hard to get too emotionally invested in the regular season knowing we have that facing us again, and we've still proven to be completely ineffective against it.

What has Gobert actually been doing in the offseason. He doesn't seem to have improved or added anything useful to his game

Tbh same can be said for bogey, Clarkson, Mitchell, Conley, Royce etc. Look a lot like they did last year.

I feel like Conley should have worked on his screen setting, Donovan should be posting up more, bogey should be running the team and racking up assists, Royce should be taking guys off the dribble, and Clarkson should be a lockdown defender

If we lose this with no Murray and no Jokic we might as well trade everyone and start over.
