It's surprising how relevant this video is a year later. And despite Gobert being a defensive player of the year candidate, again, the rockets are beating the jazz again by exploting his weaknesses.
The only way to consistently defend the Rockets is to have strong individual defenders so you aren't forced to help and rotate as much. You also have to play defense without fouling. It also helps if all your defenders can switch without creating a huge mismatch. Iggy, Draymond, and Klay happen to be good Harden defenders. Harden has lit them up in the past, but they have forced him into terrible games as well. Harden now has CP3 to share the burden so Harden won't disappear in the 4th. The series will be fun to watch if it happens.
Iggy has been a lot better in the playoffs so far though, like he always does. I mean, no one can really guard Harden but no one can really guard Durant either, especially when he's being helped by all the other weapons Golden State has. If Durant is on and the Warriors defense is locked in I don't really see how the Rockets win other than just hitting all their threes. On the other hand, if the Warriors can't stop the Rockets offense and the Rockets can bother Durant just enough, Rockets can beat them. The x-factor is Curry, though. If Curry is hitting his shots and catches fire, he'll start pulling attention away from Durant and Klay and the Rockets will have almost no chance unless the Warriors just go cold.
BOS defense is more scary than Warriors...the only thing you really need to anticipate to Warriors is their transition offense once the shot missed..if you able to slow down the game youll win vs GSW.
+ouch1226 Wow, sounds so simple, but it's actually not. You can't miss three's when playing Golden State OR turn it over because that starts their break.
how? goberts plus minus throughout the series was game 1: -13 game 2: -1 game 3: -23 game 4: -27 game 5: +2 nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
Koh Smoger , not even trying to be an obnoxious Rockets fan but I don't see any more than 1 game. The jazz will only compete if the Rockets miss their open looks. You can punish the Rockets going big if you have two skilled bigs. I really like Utah but styles makes fights.
Also, the lack of offensive skills by Gobert means Jazz cannot take advantage when any of Rockets guards get switched on to Gobert. And with Rubio still out, there won't be enough easy baskets for the Jazz.
Lin He jazz score off team ball anyway and crowder been good and Mitchell the first option for a reason They played the same vs okc just harder to Defend a team w a system
Edson Charlotin Without Rubio, I don't see a lot of team ball. Rubio and Joe Ingles are two guys that can make the system run. I saw lots of iso yesterday, which is not what the Jazz team excels at.
TheHuskyK9 lol Shaq and Mutombo would’ve been exposed as well. There are different types of defenders. Kawhi would be a terrible rim protector. Does that disqualify him?
This is exactly what the Rockets want.. Gobert is almost unplayable because he's so slow and lacks athleticism.. if wants to switch out and try to guard Harden and CP3 on the perimeter it's BBQ chicken don't be surprised if you see that tower fall
That doesn't mean he's not athletic. He's just too slow for guards like 90% of the bigs in the league. Zaza Pachulia be a great example of not being athletic. U need to know the difference
Bmore Ace I definitely know the difference.. you can be 7 foot and have nimble feet.. look at Porzingis look at KAT.. they don’t have sloppy foot work like Gobert and Zaza.. Gobert looks like Enes Kanter did last playoffs when Harden made him look silly almost every time
Young Eddo bruh Kat didn't have a chance last round and Porzingis wouldn't be able to stay in front either. Like I said 90% of the bigs would have problems. It has to be players like a draymond green, Anthony Davis just to name a few
goberts plus minus throughout the series was game 1: -13 game 2: -1 game 3: -23 game 4: -27 game 5: +2 nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
After watching game two it didn’t look as if Snyder is running out of ideas any time soon. Especially since Mitchell is more poised then harden. Cp3 is the X factor forgot to mention him. Rubio being out sucked.
Gmac why the hell would the refs push for the jazz to get to the next round lol? Everyone would rather see the rockets play the thunder in this series haha if there was a hidden agenda in the nba it would’ve been to push the sorry ass thunder to the next round for better ratings
Gmac yeah lol why would the refs allow the thunder to get beat?? More money from Russell Westbrook and Paul George than Donavon Mitchell. Especially with the KD situation
After Jazz stealing home court advantage and Gobert achieving a double-double (and they don’t even had Rubio!), i believe this video might need an update...
Edson Charlotin pop did figure out. He said defend the three open lane for harden nd force rockets to shoot midrange jumpers. To win a championship u need to defend the 3 nd shoot midrange jumpers nd rockets couldnt do that. Also he said defend harden with your hands to your chest
jamar reid yeah there’s this one other guy called CP3... he’s a pretty big deal, not to mention luc mbah moute, pj tucker are new important additions and integral to both their defensive and offensive schemes
TailsV2 - Simi100902 impossible. The Houston rockets have the highest offensive rating of alltime. You literally can’t stop it. It’s unstoppable. As long as James Harden & cp3 don’t play absolutely terrible on the SAME game. Very very low odds.
"Why The JAZZ Can't Beat The ROCKETS With GOBERT" Yeah, gotta bench Gobert or get him out defending the three point line. /sarc. Oh, wait. Jazz won game two. And I'm pretty sure Rudy was still defending the paint, 'cause that's what he does.
...The rest of my post got lost somehow. Here it is: "/sarc. But Utah won game game two, and I'm pretty sure Rudy was still defending the paint, since that's what he does." Heh. I know this looks like the first part was serious, and I'm just covering myself, but look at the timestamp. It was after Utah's win, and that was my point.
I don't get why these Nba bigs who can't move are still around, you get paid so much money can they not just say tho themselves that yeah I am going to closeout. Simpy saying that is not my game is some BS to me.
Nice... I like how you pointed out that getting back slowly can cause mismatches. Usually people think of "forcing the switch" as something that happens once you set up.
My boys, the Mavs, have this happen all the time. Dirk is last down the court on both ends often times, and on D, that means a lot of extra work for Powell... but on Offense it means Dirk's legendary trail-3 or sometimes a mouse in the house midrange post-up. I think it was last year that I saw the slowest fast break of all time. Dirk and Gobert were still in the backcourt when there was a turnover and a quick pass to the big man slow-mo fast break. It was hilarious!
@1:56 The Rockets don't play at "such a fast pace." Most people presume they do because Mike D'antoni is on the side lines. They rank 14th in pace, just slightly above league average. There are SO MANY things different about Mike's Houston team, I'm sometimes left scratching my head. WAY less pressure relief, back doors and DHOs. WAY more isolation. Way more switching on defense (which is super interesting, and obviously has Golden State as it's ultimate object). LESS pace, and way more 3s.
Game one analysis. Got it all figured out. After the fact. Game two, I guess Gobert listened. Now, tell us how the Jazz can't win with Rubio on the bench as well.
The Jazz aren't overrated. But their defense isn't built to defend the 3pt onslaught the Rockets have. The only team that can do that is the Warriors. It's gonna be a shame that the real finals will be the WCF again. No one in the east can compete with the Rockets or Warriors.
goberts plus minus throughout the series was game 1: -13 game 2: -1 game 3: -23 game 4: -27 game 5: +2 nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
Didn't Jazz win game 2? Gobert didn't do anything you said needed to be addressed. All he did was listen to Coach Snyder who had a better plan than what you said in this video.
The real problem is the Jazz just let Harden rest on D. He just sat in the corner on whoever was there and Snyder refused to force Harden into pick and roll action and get favorable switches onto him. Houston switches everything, run sets/plays that will force Harden to defend Mitchell and he will become less effective on O because of fatigue.
This is great analysis and why I keep coming back. The jazz did a great job adjusting to the rockets by just starting to guard harden from inbound and slowing the offense down.
goberts plus minus throughout the series was game 1: -13 game 2: -1 game 3: -23 game 4: -27 game 5: +2 nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
Capela is very underrated that's their x-factor and he has been all season! A couple of years ago I saw him play and was like "wtf this dude is trash" but major credit to Capela he's worked really hard on his game and body to become a great role player
No one in their right mind had the Pacers in 6, before the series started pretty much everyone had the Cavs taking them out in a dominant 4 or 5. Instead, they got pushed to 7 with the biggest negative point differential of all time for a winning team and realistically should have lost the series, getting spared by some lucky officiating. That is literally nothing to celebrate.
Two principles: 1: when rockets go small, go small as well. Maybe put D.Favors instead of Gobert. To match up their roster. 2. Gobert and Capella match up, this is a two way sword. Gobert have an absolute advantage on heigh, but also disadvantage on his speed compare with Capella. This is an exam for Jazz coaches
hey Coach Nick!! how about a vid for Mighty Joe Engles of Utah for his 7 3ptrs in Utah win over Houston on the road game 2 round 2. You In? thanks again for insightful vids!!
If there is one coach in the league that scares me, it's Quin Snyder. His ability to adjust defensive schemes to fit anything it's him. There's a reason why the Jazz are the best defense in the league.
Yeah, with all the moving screens that are allowed in the NBA nowadays it really is gonna be rough for Utah, Adams did the same thing with okc which created so much offense and made it hard for the Jazz to win that series as well.
Embiid is dpoy of the year in my eyes. All of those times that Gobert was reluctant to go out and contest a shot, Embiid would've gone out and contested those shots and made the player come off the damn 3 point line.
Gaurds need to defend the perimeter way more aggressively and not get trapped in switches from pick and rolls. You would rather them blow by and face Gobert than switch and have them pull Gobert from the paint on a mismatch. Honestly would start guarding at half court so they don't even get an opportunity to set a pick. Sure the problem is that on blow by's there is the problem of lobs but Gobert has a better chance at defending that than the perimeter and if you are going to give up points rather it be a 2 than a 3.
True, every word. I noticed how his capability became a liability in no time. They need premier guard defender to fill in the holes. Even with Rubio, it is hard to imagine Utah can stop them. It would be interesing to see how Warriors handle them now. But let's wait and see if Quinn has some rabbit in the hat
goberts plus minus throughout the series was game 1: -13 game 2: -1 game 3: -23 game 4: -27 game 5: +2 nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
Whiteside had the same dilemma against the Sixers. Though unlike Golbert, Whiteside spent most of his time sitting at the bench. The game had evolved so much its making these traditional bigs obsolete. Also, Favors needs to play better. He needs to be aggressive and take advantage of mismatches at the low block and crash the board the harder. Every time his team mates threw a shot he was already running towards the other side of the court.
Protecting the paint has traditionally been the most important defensive assignment, that may have lessened to a degree lately with all the threes some teams are taking, but ultimately if you have Gobert, it allows you to focus on guarding the three ball aggressively without fear of giving up even easier buckets in the paint.
Key for Utah is to control pace, and they require better shot selection to have any chance of that. Honestly, Gobert is not the issue. What Utah needs is one more volume scorer so they can stay in the game with Houston. If Utah can stop Houston from pushing pace and finding holes in the open court, then Gobert and the defense can set up. But without decent offensive execution, Utah had little chance of doing that.
The jazz missed the uptempo, court vision and ball movement that Rubio imposes in its offense... when you have disadvantage you have to defend well every possession and you will finish making lots of mistakes... the problem in this game was not Gobert... the problem is Don Mitchell is not a playmaker and can't move the ball effectively for long periods of time... Then, the offense got stagnant in the first two quarters
Gobert still having nightmares from last years playoffs when Steph put him in a spin cycle. That man DOES NOT wanna come out to the perimeter against guards.
They have two elite iso players in Harden and Paul. They don’t need to run and gun. Their offense is predicated on making sure they dissect your switches. Once they get the switch they’re looking for, they do isos. For instance, in this series you will see a lot of switches where the rockets want favors or Gobert in the perimeter, so they will pass the ball in that vicinity to make sure they can draw them out. It’s not like they’re lock down in the paint with Capela down there, but it’s the Jazz’s best shot at Rockets. Either way, Jazz do not have an answer against the Rockets. They are 0-5 against them this season with an average margin of loss of 17 ppg. That’s pretty much game set and match, unless, God forbid, some horrific injury occurs to Harden or CP3, then Rockets may pull this series out but will lose against GSW. Barring injuries, Rockets have the best chance to win a chip this year. There is really no answer to all the varying methods they beat you.
i m a jazz fan. i think the real issue is the dfavs + gobert line up. favors is way too slow for any 4th in the rockets and way too slow for capela. i recall that favors allowed harden to shot 4 3point in front of him. yes switch should be done and the jazz should rather go small in order to match the rocket.
Very interesting video coach. The big man is my defencive player of the year, but this shows how bad matchups can make players look much worse than they are.
Umm.... They said we wouldn't have a winning record after losing Hayward, they said we wouldn't make the playoffs, they said we wouldn't beat the Thunder, they said we would get swept by the Rockets... keep sleepin yall
that's how Jazz took Yao Ming out of the game with Boozer's mid-ranger and Okur's long-ranger, table's turned now.
Okur was pretty good
Boozer,Okur,Deron Williams And AK47 good old days, that team deserved to win a Ring
i think they lost to peak kobe? not a bad way to lose. The Jazz teams and the Nuggets were really good teams
Devoid The farthest they got was the 2007 WCF against the Spurs before they swept Lebron in his first finals.
Facts but still see Jazz winning game or so
Royce O'Neale is low-key a beast on defense. One for the future.
He got that Lateral Quickness for a rookie
To think 2 years later the jazz are paying him a 5yr 205 million dollars contract for mediocre defense but hey it is what it is
Umm
hmmmm
Nice loss at home
NBA Players hahahaa
TH-cam algorithm has no chill, recommending this video to everyone after tonight's game
You were saying....
It's surprising how relevant this video is a year later. And despite Gobert being a defensive player of the year candidate, again, the rockets are beating the jazz again by exploting his weaknesses.
I thought for second he was talking about 2019 :)
Can't wait to see how the Warriors defend the Rockets. Western Conference Finals are gonna be so exciting.
The only way to consistently defend the Rockets is to have strong individual defenders so you aren't forced to help and rotate as much. You also have to play defense without fouling. It also helps if all your defenders can switch without creating a huge mismatch. Iggy, Draymond, and Klay happen to be good Harden defenders. Harden has lit them up in the past, but they have forced him into terrible games as well. Harden now has CP3 to share the burden so Harden won't disappear in the 4th. The series will be fun to watch if it happens.
Curry cant guard harden imo. We seen what happened last time he tried to lol
Iggy has been a lot better in the playoffs so far though, like he always does. I mean, no one can really guard Harden but no one can really guard Durant either, especially when he's being helped by all the other weapons Golden State has.

Jazz are way to slow to keep up with rockets. This is just a really bad matchup.
Koh Smoger , not even trying to be an obnoxious Rockets fan but I don't see any more than 1 game. The jazz will only compete if the Rockets miss their open looks.
You can punish the Rockets going big if you have two skilled bigs. I really like Utah but styles makes fights.
Koh Smoger thunder vs rockets wouldve been better
Joshua Jo NBA refs robbed us of an OKC /HOU match up. This series is unwatchable.
SicilyDZ lol the refs? Okc had like 10 chances to win that last game and they blew all of them. Blame the shitty under performing team not the refs.
Rockets are kind of slow paced too. Compare their speeds from court to court with teams like GSW
They just did!
Goober is the most overhyped played in the NBA. He's a Clint Capela with better rim defense.
Also, the lack of offensive skills by Gobert means Jazz cannot take advantage when any of Rockets guards get switched on to Gobert. And with Rubio still out, there won't be enough easy baskets for the Jazz.
Lin He jazz score off team ball anyway and crowder been good and Mitchell the first option for a reason
They played the same vs okc just harder to Defend a team w a system
Edson Charlotin
Without Rubio, I don't see a lot of team ball. Rubio and Joe Ingles are two guys that can make the system run. I saw lots of iso yesterday, which is not what the Jazz team excels at.
Lin He that's cause exum can't pass
Coach putting that advertisement in smooth as usual 🔥
I've honestly gotten used to them. Just from a few words, I can sense when that ad is coming.
I like the pop up advertisements too
I prefer the pop up ads more. They're there, you notice them, but they don't get in the way.
Chris W i skipped it
No it's cringy as fuck
Huh that's funny they just beat them in Houston game 2. Weird.
Played 37 minutes, gave em 15 points, 14 boards, 3 blocks in Houston...I guess he's OK.
So basically, Rockets exposed Gobert as a pure paint protector. Honestly, I'm not surprised
TheHuskyK9 lol Shaq and Mutombo would’ve been exposed as well. There are different types of defenders. Kawhi would be a terrible rim protector. Does that disqualify him?
Isn't that what he is? lmao
xxx Could Gary Payton or Jordan protect the rim? Rescind their DPOYs!
Great logic.
TheHuskyK9 exposes? Their are the only team who can do this
jamar reid Houston plays nothing like GS.... Houston is the king of isolation and shooters. Literally impossible to defend. Impossible
This is exactly what the Rockets want.. Gobert is almost unplayable because he's so slow and lacks athleticism.. if wants to switch out and try to guard Harden and CP3 on the perimeter it's BBQ chicken don't be surprised if you see that tower fall
He's still having nightmares from last year when Steph put him in a spin cycle.
That doesn't mean he's not athletic. He's just too slow for guards like 90% of the bigs in the league. Zaza Pachulia be a great example of not being athletic. U need to know the difference
Bmore Ace I definitely know the difference.. you can be 7 foot and have nimble feet.. look at Porzingis look at KAT.. they don’t have sloppy foot work like Gobert and Zaza.. Gobert looks like Enes Kanter did last playoffs when Harden made him look silly almost every time
Young Eddo bruh Kat didn't have a chance last round and Porzingis wouldn't be able to stay in front either. Like I said 90% of the bigs would have problems. It has to be players like a draymond green, Anthony Davis just to name a few
Young Eddo KAT? He couldn't defend a 3rd grader

Well they just beat them today and as I recall, Gobert was on the game.
After watching game two it didn’t look as if Snyder is running out of ideas any time soon. Especially since Mitchell is more poised then harden. Cp3 is the X factor forgot to mention him. Rubio being out sucked.
Thunder would’ve been a better matchup but credit to the Jazz for beating them
ThePersonIn TheCorner
credit to the refs*
Gmac why the hell would the refs push for the jazz to get to the next round lol? Everyone would rather see the rockets play the thunder in this series haha if there was a hidden agenda in the nba it would’ve been to push the sorry ass thunder to the next round for better ratings
Gmac yeah lol why would the refs allow the thunder to get beat?? More money from Russell Westbrook and Paul George than Donavon Mitchell. Especially with the KD situation
Gmac the league didn't suspended Westbrook just to give the thunder hope of advancing
delusional thunder fans.
After Jazz stealing home court advantage and Gobert achieving a double-double (and they don’t even had Rubio!), i believe this video might need an update...
Fernando S this clown needs to take it down...throw the whole video away
Well I guess he can keep this video up seeing what happened in game 3
weird that i jus watched the rockets lose and rudy was in the last minutes of the game,
AND THEY LOST
and this video popped up lol
same LOL
How you feel right now?
Got them tonight
Well there goes this argument 🤷🏾♀️
Came here for this, was not disappointed.
Sooo new vid needed after today's game....#JazzNation
Stephen Wood lol agree
New Video needed after raping #RedNation
hundred cs Sunday shall be here an the rapist shall receive judgement 🙂
Aaaaand now y'all are down 3-1. No need for a new vid
The Irishpanic #JazzNation fa life an we live to play later on today, don't be caught slippin....😊
Im positive Quin Snyder will find a Solution to defend The Capela Pick n Roll. He has the nessesary pieces and just has to find an effective method
TailsV2 - Simi100902 pop couldn’t figure it out lol.
Edson Charlotin pop did figure out. He said defend the three open lane for harden nd force rockets to shoot midrange jumpers. To win a championship u need to defend the 3 nd shoot midrange jumpers nd rockets couldnt do that. Also he said defend harden with your hands to your chest
nobody found a way in 88 games...
jamar reid yeah there’s this one other guy called CP3... he’s a pretty big deal, not to mention luc mbah moute, pj tucker are new important additions and integral to both their defensive and offensive schemes
TailsV2 - Simi100902 impossible. The Houston rockets have the highest offensive rating of alltime. You literally can’t stop it. It’s unstoppable. As long as James Harden & cp3 don’t play absolutely terrible on the SAME game. Very very low odds.

This is true. I even did a video on precisely this 🤦♀️
Game one analysis.
Got it all figured out. After the fact.
Game two, I guess Gobert listened. Now, tell us how the Jazz can't win with Rubio on the bench as well.
Yes, another episode!!!! Laways love your introes coach! Fresh and stylish. Keep it up!!!!!!
You are wrong. Jazz beat Rockets with Gobert.
I told y’all I was gonna win! 🐐
ima let the raps win.
I’m tired. I’ve nothing to lose anyway 🤷🏾♂️
LeGoat James come to OKC
Your sons favourite player is Westbrook
Steven Adams HAHAHAAAAA
Sure. If you want to stay forever number 2 behind MJ then you indeed have nothing to lose.
Lool
They just did lol
The Jazz aren't overrated. But their defense isn't built to defend the 3pt onslaught the Rockets have. The only team that can do that is the Warriors. It's gonna be a shame that the real finals will be the WCF again. No one in the east can compete with the Rockets or Warriors.
Jansen Ravioli what about that new team lebron? I heard he’s pretty good
You mean Lebron and the pile of garbage he's carrying? Yeah. Exactly my point.
Well guess what.. utah defeated rockets in game 2
General Bacon then got blown out in game 3 so I think he might be on to something

do you see game 2 ???????
what were you saying again coach? didnt hear ya
The real problem is the Jazz just let Harden rest on D.

Houston switches everything, run sets/plays that will force Harden to defend Mitchell and he will become less effective on O because of fatigue.
This was a weak take. Everyone has problems with the rockets.. that's like saying it's going to be hot this summer in mexico.. Hope you enjoyed game 2
This is great analysis and why I keep coming back. The jazz did a great job adjusting to the rockets by just starting to guard harden from inbound and slowing the offense down.
Why you don’t listen to these channels
this video is 100% facts

Looking for all the “pacers in 6” guys who commented... 🐐
Yup where you at
Golden King I'm here raptors in 6
Audiofilio
Blazers in 6.
No one in their right mind had the Pacers in 6, before the series started pretty much everyone had the Cavs taking them out in a dominant 4 or 5. Instead, they got pushed to 7 with the biggest negative point differential of all time for a winning team and realistically should have lost the series, getting spared by some lucky officiating. That is literally nothing to celebrate.
Chuck
Look at Dom2k, Colin Cowherd etc. Some people did have the Pacers making noise.
Two principles:
1: when rockets go small, go small as well. Maybe put D.Favors instead of Gobert. To match up their roster.
2. Gobert and Capella match up, this is a two way sword. Gobert have an absolute advantage on heigh, but also disadvantage on his speed compare with Capella. This is an exam for Jazz coaches
Capela be dunking on Gobert like the whole game lol
hey Coach Nick!! how about a vid for Mighty Joe Engles of Utah for his 7 3ptrs in Utah win over Houston on the road game 2 round 2. You In? thanks again for insightful vids!!
Who told you that Jazz can't win against the Rockets?????????
If there is one coach in the league that scares me, it's Quin Snyder. His ability to adjust defensive schemes to fit anything it's him. There's a reason why the Jazz are the best defense in the league.
2:05 I feel like Gobert did the right thing, by staying on Capela, you don't want to give up an easy dunk...
Yeah, with all the moving screens that are allowed in the NBA nowadays it really is gonna be rough for Utah, Adams did the same thing with okc which created so much offense and made it hard for the Jazz to win that series as well.
Why draymond is the real DPOY can run with capela then switch on harden
Trae Gant harden will destroy donkey's ass
Trae Gant Just because he can defend the rockets doesnt mean hes dpoy. Rudy dominates the other 29 teams. Donkey has ALOT of help
Except the DPOY is a regular season award, and Draymond was too cocky to actually fight for it. Therefore, Rudy deserves it.
Embiid is dpoy of the year in my eyes. All of those times that Gobert was reluctant to go out and contest a shot, Embiid would've gone out and contested those shots and made the player come off the damn 3 point line.
Paul George??
This is awkward now.
this didn't age well.
this didn't age well.
It's only game 1 and it's all about adjustments period.
I'm sure you're rethinking the title of this video after last night's win.
Sure don't think Kobe Bryant thought the Jazz couldn't beat the Rockets after dedicating an episode of his new show to Donovan Mitchell.
Love the thumb nail push off foul 👌
Shhhh
The problem in missing rubio is not just missing a SG but missing the field coach, he is the impersonation of the coach in the pitch
Gaurds need to defend the perimeter way more aggressively and not get trapped in switches from pick and rolls.
You would rather them blow by and face Gobert than switch and have them pull Gobert from the paint on a mismatch.
Honestly would start guarding at half court so they don't even get an opportunity to set a pick.
Sure the problem is that on blow by's there is the problem of lobs but Gobert has a better chance at defending that than the perimeter and if you are going to give up points rather it be a 2 than a 3.
@4:45 With Gobert's toe right behind the 3 point line, those should have been drives. I think they will see that in the film sessions.
3:26
"Come here..."
"Come on..."
*Turns into Scorpion*
Love Capela. People don't realize he's actually not that fast. He just outworks everyone else.
True, every word. I noticed how his capability became a liability in no time. They need premier guard defender to fill in the holes. Even with Rubio, it is hard to imagine Utah can stop them. It would be interesing to see how Warriors handle them now. But let's wait and see if Quinn has some rabbit in the hat
ljubisavljevic89 I think shaun gone give cp3 problems
Series is tied 1-1 DELETE THIS VIDEO.
goberts plus minus throughout the series was
game 1: -13
game 2: -1
game 3: -23
game 4: -27
game 5: +2
nick has been the nba prophet for many, many years now
Whiteside had the same dilemma against the Sixers. Though unlike Golbert, Whiteside spent most of his time sitting at the bench. The game had evolved so much its making these traditional bigs obsolete. Also, Favors needs to play better. He needs to be aggressive and take advantage of mismatches at the low block and crash the board the harder. Every time his team mates threw a shot he was already running towards the other side of the court.
How can he be dpoy if he can’t guard the most important shot? This is why draymond and kawhi are the best 2 defenders in the league
kefkapalazzo1 kawhi is far out of the picture.
Protecting the paint has traditionally been the most important defensive assignment, that may have lessened to a degree lately with all the threes some teams are taking, but ultimately if you have Gobert, it allows you to focus on guarding the three ball aggressively without fear of giving up even easier buckets in the paint.
Embiid can guard out there and is willing. Covington is also close to that Draymond Kawhi territory for defenders as well.
Key for Utah is to control pace, and they require better shot selection to have any chance of that.
Honestly, Gobert is not the issue. What Utah needs is one more volume scorer so they can stay in the game with Houston.
If Utah can stop Houston from pushing pace and finding holes in the open court, then Gobert and the defense can set up.
But without decent offensive execution, Utah had little chance of doing that.
TheFailBros yeah thought about that but it is what it is
Thats is why Gobert is no match by The back to back DPOY named DRAYMOND GREEN 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Well they've alreay beat them
The jazz missed the uptempo, court vision and ball movement that Rubio imposes in its offense... when you have disadvantage you have to defend well every possession and you will finish making lots of mistakes... the problem in this game was not Gobert... the problem is Don Mitchell is not a playmaker and can't move the ball effectively for long periods of time... Then, the offense got stagnant in the first two quarters
Damn coach you ain’t have to expose em like that🔥🔥
lolol
He's got his money on Rockets 😂
I think Favors can be an X Factor if he really pops, they don't have enough size for both him and Gobert if they get rollin
Damn goot analysis, coach!
I thought Quin Snyder looked intense before, but in the Rockets game, he grew a new head vein.
Quin Snyder looks like Bond villain on meth.
Wolfpack that is exactly what I said! He looks exactly like a bond villain!
He looks like a 40 year old surfer dude who became a basketball coach. He talks like it too
your the reason why I have so much court vision
TY SOOO MUCH!
YOU THE MAN!
Thanks!! 👍🏀
Gobert still having nightmares from last years playoffs when Steph put him in a spin cycle. That man DOES NOT wanna come out to the perimeter against guards.
OK LOL
Guess the Jazz coach and players know how to adjust. Oh and all your "breakdowns" of Rudy were negated in game 2.
They just beat your Rockets... Booommm!!
I don’t understand how the rockets have the slowest pace in the league yet they’re a fast team. Can anyone explain that?
do they? i think it might have a lot to do with the amount of isos
check out bbalbreakdown's video on the rocket's offense and how they can beat the warriors
They are a D’Antoni team after all, they just chose to be slow in favour of the isolation plays. They can easily go back to the run-and-gun style
They have two elite iso players in Harden and Paul. They don’t need to run and gun. Their offense is predicated on making sure they dissect your switches. Once they get the switch they’re looking for, they do isos. For instance, in this series you will see a lot of switches where the rockets want favors or Gobert in the perimeter, so they will pass the ball in that vicinity to make sure they can draw them out. It’s not like they’re lock down in the paint with Capela down there, but it’s the Jazz’s best shot at Rockets. Either way, Jazz do not have an answer against the Rockets. They are 0-5 against them this season with an average margin of loss of 17 ppg. That’s pretty much game set and match, unless, God forbid, some horrific injury occurs to Harden or CP3, then Rockets may pull this series out but will lose against GSW. Barring injuries, Rockets have the best chance to win a chip this year. There is really no answer to all the varying methods they beat you.
Felix Yang most of the time Rockets are doing ISO’s
1-1......
The Jazz are way better than their record says. Rockets won 65 games because Harden gets 25 free throws a game. Rigged!
nice vid coach
Even with an in-depth analysis, we still can't predict what would be the outcome of any game. The Rockets got humiliated in game 2.....
Nice vid... Wrong... Series tied 1-1...but nice vid...
I don't think Gobert will hurt ur team's chances, u just need to use him right, Capela is not a great jump shooter..
Didn't Harden travel on the last play?
i m a jazz fan. i think the real issue is the dfavs + gobert line up. favors is way too slow for any 4th in the rockets and way too slow for capela. i recall that favors allowed harden to shot 4 3point in front of him.
yes switch should be done and the jazz should rather go small in order to match the rocket.
That’s a very good point 👍🏀
Very interesting video coach. The big man is my defencive player of the year, but this shows how bad matchups can make players look much worse than they are.
Umm.... They said we wouldn't have a winning record after losing Hayward, they said we wouldn't make the playoffs, they said we wouldn't beat the Thunder, they said we would get swept by the Rockets... keep sleepin yall
