This series seems, to me, like a prime example of how getting big to combat big is folly.
Conventional wisdom would tell you that Gobert is your best chance at slowing Jokic down, but I am watching Jokic score in the paint like Gobert is not even there. It’s getting uglier by the minute. Gobert has no chance of playing anything close to credible defense against him.
The best course, to my mind, is to force Jokic to guard a smaller, quicker player on the other end.
