Absolutely this. He becomes a defensive liability in a playoff series. That's a
catastrophe for a team who's paying you $40M to be the best defender in the league and then you're relegated to being below average.

After watching the latest round of the playoffs I'm convinced Gobert's contract

for sure. Many of ya'll were on this before he got his contract.

How many points per game does it take to no longer be considered someone who "only plays defense."

well yes and no. Dallas got away with going small and he didn't make them pay

That has more to do with the players around Gobert than Gobert himself. Neither Don nor Mike could defend Brunson to any

I'm talking about when the Jazz were on offense.

In that case there is some blame on him, but also on Quin who should be calling plays designed to take advantage.

No blame on the coach?

Donovan didn't score a lot either, neither did Conley, or Bogie.

What matters is playoff points. He's easily schemed out on both ends.

Not if he has teammates who can man up on D and keep their guy in front of them.

His real problem is his complete failure in overcoming physics

Even so you don't spend $40M for that type of player. The Jazz are paying top

Yeah I really disliked the Conely addition. I was pretty vocal on here about but was told he'd make a huge difference.

He is not the defensive liability, Don and Conley are.

Exactly. They focused on Gobert because you don't have to scheme for players

I understand about Don and Conley but if you watched the last 2 years vs Dallas

No, they exploited the other players, which causes Rudy to make an impossible decision.

Yeah Rudy defenders have their head in the sand. Help defense will always be a

The problem is that Gobert isn't the best defender on the planet - or even close

It is not the contract's fault
