Magic, why are you even a Jazz fan? To see Exum play mediocre basketball for 10 mpg?
How do you beat a zone? Good ball handlers that can get past their guy and make good decisions. Having 4 shooters, 2 great creators/ball handlers and a solid big that can stand just out of the paint for the dump pass eats a zone alive. Maybe mixing in some zone can throw off teams but we might give up 150 point a game to the zone if we play it the whole game.
You can't beat GS or Houston going small. Your only chance is length and defense.It has nothing to do with being a homer. The Jazz win or lose with Gobert. This is the team they built, this is the team they go down with. Plan B, C, D, and E all include Gobert.
And yeah, the Jazz will probably lose. They will definitely lose if they dont play Gobert. If the Jazz had w/e big man was the best at guarding Houston's actions, they would still probably lose. The Jazz arent losing because of Gobert (though he isnt the best player to have against Houston). They are losing because they have less talent and their starting PG (Thabo too) is injured.
Except for then our guys don't have switch and the drivers have to take on Gobert and Favors set on the paint.How do you beat a zone?

No helping just have them play their areas. Wings shift along the outside and bigs guard the paint.Who would have to leave someone wide open for a 3 or dunk to help.
Too much talk about strategy and not enough talk about Houston’s weak psyche. Never underestimate a weak psyche and a confidence switch.
If they hit their 3's they win. Simple as that. They have Mike D'Antoni orchestrating an offense behind 2 superstars! Teams tried the entire year to stop their 3 point game and no one could.
Just have to hope that 50% comes down to 30-40% on 3s and you got a chance.
Between this and offering 0 solutions, you have made it clear you are not be listened to or maybe even respected.^
This same kind of logic cost the Thunder the series. They refused to bench Melo

This same kind of logic cost the Thunder the series. They refused to bench Melo until it was too late because "that's the team they built".
And yeah you're probably going to spout some garbage about how Melo is not Gobert, yada yada while missing the bigger picture. Every situation is different and you play people more or less accordingly. Hopefully Snyder is smarter than this and makes adjustments instead of being a stubborn ******* like you.
At some point in this series there will be a thread about trading Rudy and keeping Favs.
