Intervention Needed
Yes this has some truth to it for sure. Mostly just a roster construction issue
though. It’s more easily fixable than the Rudy situation with the 5-out/switch everything scheme.

Rudy is the best help defender in the game, period. But…

What element could Rudy add to his defensive game?

The Jazz need to bring in other players that can help Rudy defensively.

This, plus find a way for Rudy to be useful on offense. It was far too easy to

You are correct. Rudy’s value plummeted in this series
Blue2thebone

Not because of Rudy, because the players around him and Snyders unwillingness
cougaman
6/19/21 12:52am
But that would have meant taking Rudy off the court. How is most of that not on

You can’t be DPOY if you have a small weakness that maybe 1-2 teams in the nba
cougaman
6/19/21 1:05am
Small weakness? It looked like 5 on 4 most times that second half. Doesn’t help
fredetteaboutit13
6/19/21 7:26am
So it's a bigger weakness because his teammates are so bad defensively?
cougaman
6/19/21 8:49am
There are 5 or 6 teams at least capable of exploiting it
JoeExotic
6/19/21 7:27am
Dame is the Blazers problem too, because he’s a liability on defense and when

So the problem is that the player is really, really good, but not perfect and

He’s elite at a specific style. Can you build around Rudy at the max?
PHXSUNS31
6/19/21 9:33am
Its not Rudy thats the problem, its O'Neale, Ingles, Clarkson, Favors
cougaman
6/19/21 9:37am
I mean yes, you’re right. But paying Rudy 40 million a year makes it hard
PHXSUNS31
6/19/21 9:47am
Rudy made 25 million this year and Donovan was on his rookie contract. They had

I don’t really buy that. Maybe they can’t fill holes like LA and Brooklyn can

You have a point but Rudy has been exposed. He can be the best defensive player in the league and a total

Dame isn’t that bad defensively, CJ on the other hand is a major liability on D
RipCityCougar
6/19/21 8:16am
Because of the clippers evolution which will spread to other teams. Either way he was exposed.
Blue2thebone
6/19/21 1:12am
It’s nothing new. The jazz defense was exposed against Denver last year.
Jay Kay
6/19/21 1:52am
He was absolutely exposed
JoeExotic
6/19/21 7:25am
Rudy choose not to close so he didn't get beat on the dribble. It was the wrong

There are guys like Draymond that know how to walk and chew gum at the same
JoeExotic
6/19/21 11:07am
Again, the problem isn't so much Gobert as it is Gobert is being asked to cover
cougaman
6/19/21 11:11am
But the reason he’s being payed 40 million is his ability to cover everyone on D
PHXSUNS31
6/19/21 11:19am
We both agree the jazz perimeter D was awful
JoeExotic
6/19/21 11:35am
They need to stop trying to replecate Gobert and get a decent stretch 5 that can

Basically a guy that can guard multiple positions including C

Bogey or Clarkson.
cougaman
6/19/21 2:26pm
Or both
JoeExotic
6/19/21 2:37pm
Only if who they get in return is a plus offensive player
cougaman
6/19/21 2:39pm
He also was immobile in the second half due to injury

Any one of our bench wings should've been substituted in for Rudy in the 4th
LCcoug
6/19/21 7:14am
Then there clips would have feasted at the rim because we aren't great at

I probably let them beat me at the rim after watching
JoeExotic

I agree. This is what I believe should have happened.
Trent
6/19/21 8:33am
Better than giving wide open corner 3's all second half
cougaman
6/19/21 9:54am
Was it all talent or does Snyder’s scheme take some of the blame?
Bullrider
6/19/21 8:08am
Worst coaching performance in a series I’ve ever seen. The Need adjustment has been obvious and was never even tried

My wife who is not a real fan made an interesting comment while watching
