I think our defense is still good. chris paul making lots of mid range hurt us alot. I think we just need another scorer that can help mitchell. with that, we will contend

It's not quite that simple, but redistributing weight and adding a little muscle, 5 lbs in the lower body, would help. Adding 10-20 lbs of good weight is like a year long journey if done naturally. Not sure an NBA player can do it with the amount of hard cardio their job requires.

20 pounds of good weight takes a lifetime of work. A dedicated bodybuilder would still need half a decade or more to build 20 pounds of muscle.

Houston got bumped last season. They added CP# to share the load, the experiment worked, and they may compete in the Finals this season and get a chip. One more scorer who can rebound, etc., that would do so much for us. In addition to the guys we have getting better.

I mean, the Jazz are currently running a defensive scheme that's going to make Rudy look bad, but it helps the team. They arent sending much of any wing help from the corners cuz they want to stay out on shooters, so Gobert is guarding 2 on 1 in the paint unless the guard on the ball screen makes a great defensive effort, which has been hit or miss because Capela is a great screener.

Can we connect Rudy Gobert with Alex Rodriguez or Lance Armstrong?

Yeah, this is the only real answer. The Jazz need another versatile scorer, not a specialist.

Theory: The rating could be higher because he's facing better teams on the regular who scout for us. His reg. season numbers can look better because they include far inferior opponents.

Yeah I didn’t want to argue so I threw out a year... it’s obviously more complex than the original poster mentioned but the more I’ve learned about lifting and such the more these reports that “so and such added 15 lbs of muscle in the offseason” make me laugh.

And possibly an offense that is one of the best ever assembled.

Where exactly, in my post, did I suggest it was simple?

Winning a championship is a multi-year effort. It took that Stockton-Malone team eleven or so years to have a shot at it.

Calm down... you simplified it to adding 20 lbs of muscle... didn’t say you didn’t know the other steps. I just don’t think that kind of muscle gain now or over 3-4 years is a good idea. Duncan actually skimmed down quite a bit towards the end of his career to help him stay on the court. Today’s game is different and these guys have to be mindful of the stress they put on their knees and feet.

I also don’t think the Stockton and Malone method of team building will work in this era because of salary cap and contract nuances.
