Donovan Mitchell vs Jamal Murray

[pearljammer10]

Defense? I expected Murray to struggle defending Mitchell, but for Mitchell's reputation, I didn't think he'd let him get to 50 again in the series.

Problem is Clarkson is defending Murray a lot, and he's terrible. Gobert has also been really bad at his go-to thing - defending the rim

Murray has scored 99 points off threes and 21 points from the free throw line for 120 out of his 204 total points. Tough to blame Gobert's defending of the rim when they're bombing threes (especially Murray).

Yeah Mitchell hasn't really been the primary defender on Murray. It's been Clarkson a lot and ONeale as well.

Not sure I agree on the Gobert thing. Many of Murray's threes come from the pick-and-roll, where Jokic is setting awesome screens on Murray's man and Gobert refuses to defend out to the three point line. There's a reason Murray is shooting those so well.

Mitchell has guarded him some, but has really struggled. O'neale has been the main defender this series.
