    Doesn’t matter because no team is going to beat BK 4 times in a series and that’s painfully obvious. Don’t get triggered fans of the other teams that’s remaining 😉.

      Gonna be tough for sure

      My only hope is the jazz but if they got harden then there’s no hope

      Once Brooklyn skips their way to a chip this year there’s gonna be hella Golden State fans next year

      if harden is injured, a lot of teams have a shot of beating them

    I wouldn’t say the backbone, more like the foundation

    • Karim Wood

      @Onyx Prime he is the reason the Jazz are able to play four perimeter players in their rotations, which is why they are able to shoot and hit so many 3s. The team is built around him. Donovan Mitchell is an elite scorer, don’t get me wrong. He and Rudy Gobert compliment each other tremendously. But Rudy makes the entire roster work.

    • Onyx Prime

      @Karim Wood I agree, but that is also why I say he’s the foundation. The team is built on him, but the backbone holds the team up. That’s Donovan, not Rudy. I’m not taking anything away from him, I just would have chosen a different word. Nothing serious

    • Karim Wood

      @Onyx Prime fair enough. I accept that.

    • NMZ Hoops

      @Onyx Prime he makes the offense go because the jazz rely on his relentless screen setting, rim running, the threat of him as a vertical threat and offensive rebounding prowess to force help defenders to bump down momentarily or to create advantageous scenarios for ball handlers that get Utah in their bread and butter. That being the ball being whipped around to exploit slow rotations. he’s a big reason why this team is one of the most prolific 3pt shooting teams in the league. it just tends to go unnoticed.

    • Westside Gunn

      @NMZ Hoops it’s crazy cause they still underutilize him on offense. They don’t take advantage of the mismatches he ends up with. And they don’t throw him enough lobs.

    No Rudy slander…we all know we need a gobert on our teams

    Thanks for telling us smartass

    Rudy Hall of Famer?

    • Shane

      June 12, 2021 at 9:53 pm

      If he gets a ring or two then yes

    • Anthony Widmer

      June 12, 2021 at 10:15 pm

      Yep no doubt about it

    • Kirk Lazarus

      June 14, 2021 at 6:55 am

      3 times defensive player of the year and biggest defensive rating in history of basketball, yes he is hall of famer.

    after jay will snitch on KD, you can’t trust him again

      This guys job is unnecessary. Just explaining what everyone already knows

    Every time Cousins fall, my heart stops.

    Bogdarnivic is hella underrated man, and I would say Gobert is definitely the back bone cause not only does he make defensive plays but he takes a lot away just from his presence.

    And Kawhi and PG feasts on his defense..😂
    Jazz defense is not that good. In fact they have poor perimeter defense. They just lucky that the Grizzlies beat the Warriors, coz if they had the Warriors on the first round it would’ve been an upset. Now the Clippers is exposing their defense. Their offense is not that great either, too predictable, no post players. if they win this series it would either be pure luck or injuries.

    • Malcolm Hatfield

      June 14, 2021 at 2:17 am

      They’re one of the best perimeter defending teams in the league 😂

    • CollarBone

      June 14, 2021 at 2:45 am

      @Malcolm Hatfield The Jazz?🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • Malcolm Hatfield

      June 14, 2021 at 2:49 am

      @CollarBone dude they’re literally #2 in the league in opponent 3P%. Idk if there’s anything more definitive than that😂😂 just look it up dude google is free

    • CollarBone

      June 14, 2021 at 4:44 am

      @Malcolm Hatfield being 10th (115.9 pts) in opponents points doesn’t make you a good perimeter defense team, right? That’s playoffs numbers, better google it up too. you’ll know soon enough if they’re really have a good defense. If the missed open shots of the Clippers down the stretch GM2 and giving up 132pts GM3 doesn’t convince you, maybe GM4 will enlighten you. Numbers can be confusing, whats important is the “eye test”.

    He’s like Tim Duncan defensively

    • Damien Bessellere

      June 14, 2021 at 4:59 am

      Maybe more disciplined, his defensive season is all time in defence, hard to find better.

    Jwill is so stupid.

  12. Parb Grewal

    June 13, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    curry cooks him everytime he should be thankful that they r not versing him. he would be shameful being a current dpoy
