The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Damn. Incredibly close games and series. The difference has been Luka/Kyrie clutching up every single time. This series is on a knifes edge and they won 3 clutch games in a row. Ant/Towns completely invisible when in the clutch....well, they've sucked for most of the series tbh.

Not Rudy though.

He’s been amazing in this series.

A real difference maker.

Best defensive stopper ever.
 
Wolves DRtg with Gobert on the court this series: 110.6
Wolves DRtg with Gobert on the bench this series: 138.9 (lmao)

Inside the NBA: "You have to bench Gobert cuz he can't guard this team!"
 
I don't understand the obsession with the plus-minus and the use of this statistic to defend Gobert. He has been bad this series, plain and simple (and just so-so against Denver).

But, for the lovers of the plus-minus: for the three games of the Mavericks-Timberwolves series here are the players with significant minutes on the Mavs:

1. Irving +23.
2. Lively +22
3. PJ Washington +17
4. J. Green +13
5. D. Jones +7
6. Doncic +3 (the team went +10 in the few minutes when he did not play)
7. Gafford -8

Are we going to say that Doncic is dragging the Mavs down and is barely holding his own? That in the offseason the Mavs need to look to replace him with someone who would better match the greatness of Lively and PJ Washington?

One big variable with +/- is the opposing team.

For instance, Doncic and Gafford play most of their minutes against Gobert. Irving and Lively got to enjoy a long stretch of minutes in each game without Gobert where they feasted in the paint. So yes, I'd expect those two to have a very good +/-.

Yes, we all saw how helpless Doncic was when defended by Gobert.
