The assumption is Maxi and JRich are good to go.
I agree. In my universe the only reason the Jazz occupy the same tier as both LA teams is Gobert. If they would have any other center i would rate them along Nuggets, Suns etc.
Based on my eye test of last two seasons, for some reason, he just makes life very hard for Luka in the paint. Besides Adebayo, I havent seen any other center give him so much trouble. And if Luka cant drive, well Mavs offense falls apart, lets be honest. Thats, the only reason. Not good team, neither their 3pt shooting, long bench, Mitchell etc. I dont care for any of that. Take Gobert out and we can beat them.
As you I will watch tonight, hoping for a good game in which I can see some progress, because in previous 2 seasons, we really did not look like we can contend with Jazz, once they locked in defensively.
