Gobert is great but he's simply not on Jokic's level. Superstar ish down the stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to be strong/heavy enough to keep him from backing down, long enough that he can't just shoot over you, and nimble enough that you can cover him out in space (no, Jokic is not nimble, but the defender's role is reactionary and you have to be pretty nimble to stay in front of any player who likes to pump fake and drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one can check a lot of NBA players when they're feeling it. When Lebron's feeling it nobody can guard him. When KD is feeling it no one can stop him. Any physically dominant player whose jumper is falling can pretty much be called unguardable at the time. I mean.. of course nobody can guard a Jokic turn around fader lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobert punked Jokic once last year - which I already noted Favors was the matchup and Gobert was roaming off Millsap. I think scoring 11 straight down the stretch directly on Gobert when the only other offensive weapon on the floor is Will Barton is a pretty resounding, this guy can't guard me. Clarkson went dumb last night lol. Should have been an easy double digit win and he drilled a couple ridiculous threes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotha you are taking this too serious. Relax, that was off the #1 Utah Jazz fan on the board trolling saying Jokic gets clamped by Gobert every time they face off. The pre-game moment of silence and all they do tonight in LA is going to be super emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirill Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If this all star "snub" and Kobe Bryant's death doesn't motivate Devin Booker to play defense, nothing will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 To me - D Book is the true definition of a snub. I think he transcended the good stats bad team thing this year. Watching him, he's clearly a star. Special player. He deserved to get in. Phoenix has been solid to good with real NBA players on the court with D Book this year and they have had injury issues. It's not like their record is that far below these other mid tier teams. I would have had him in over Paul, Russ (obviously - most egregious decision but one i expected) and Ingram. He's probably better than Mitchell too, but I expected him to get it with the Jazz killin. Kind of bothers me that Ingram has played like 6 months of good basketball in his career and made a WEST all star team. Not the JV conference over here. But I guess it's a down year without Steph and Klay. And he has been very good this year - just kind of my personal feelings about the all star game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
