Trying to think this through...
We know UTA wants to limit Luka's drives in the lane, so they are using Gobert as either direct or help defender. Which is fine since, based on last night, Luka can force the switch higher and create room to operate. Especially if his outside shot is falling.
Thing is, SD can do some of this as well, so if Gobert's rotations match Luka, then SD (and JB) should have room to operate with the UTA subs. Or am I simplifying too much here?
If UTA wants to use Gobert for 40 minutes a night chasing perimeter guards, then he'll be toast by game 3.
