NBA Playoffs 2021

Gobert with the huge defensive possession!

If Kawhi doesn’t come back this postseason, I think the Suns win it all. Could live with that...

2 in a row

You can’t win in the postseason if your number one option on offense is a 6’1” guard... Clippers just have too much size and depth. I like Mitchell, but he has to be your #2.

Also, got to give credit to Paul George.... 37pts and 16 Reb in 40 Mins. [dang]...

Why are you lot hating on Gobert while slobbering all over a player who has never had an above league average campaign in terms of scoring efficiency besides two of the weirdest playoff runs ever? It's insane to see a defensive titan not getting the credit he deserves when the likes of Nate Thurmond, Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Mark Eaton, old Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Ben Wallace were all recognised as the 1Bs of the strong playoff teams they were on at the very least (Thurmond, Hayes, Ewing and Wallace even got 1A recognition) - a person reading what most people on this forum/social media think of Gobert would believe that Gobert is the #2 or even a #3 on the Jazz.

Theoretically the Jazz can win in the postseason with their setup that has Mitchell as their offensive #1, but their problem this series is that their offensive #2 (ntm defensive #2) in Mike Conley is injured.

I love Gobert...will not take a thing from him. Won’t take a thing from Mitchell either.

I don’t think you can go far in the playoffs when your best player(s) are small guards. Mitchell/Connely or Lillard/McCollum isn’t going to get it done.

Isiah Thomas says hi.

One example from 30+ years ago? NBA is a little different now...

[SparzWizard]

How quickly a playoff series can change after being up 2-0...

Now the Jazz is facing a 3-2 hole.

[Rhyso]

Fantastic showing from PG, Morris and Reggie Jackson. The first half shooting of the Jazz was just crazy, but they stuck with them.

But the Jazz's best player is Gobert...they have 1 superstar and 2 supporting stars while the Blazers have 1 superstar and a fringe star. Obviously Lillard is better than Gobert, but McCollum is also considerably worse than Mitchell or Conley, ntm the Blazers are 1 star short and have a significantly worse supporting cast around their stars (Pringles, Bogdanovic, Clarkson, O'Neale and Favors are fantastic role players with a couple of guys in the top 40-50 range, heck I'm not even sure if McCollum is better than Pringles this season!).
