If Rudy guards the corner or if the jazz go small it’s gonna be a conga line to the basket, especially when Luka comes back. They kinda have to pick their poison on whether they wanna keep giving up the corner threes and protect the paint or stop the threes and open up more driving lanes. The main problem is the jazz perimeter defense. None of them can keep Brunson or Dinwiddie in front of them and it’s just gonna get much worse when Luka comes back.
Jazz needs to pray that the mavs, and especially Kleber, goes cold from 3. If he keeps shooting like this then the jazz can’t play Gobert and they’re absolutely finished.
exactly thats what the mavs planned for all this while , set the perimeters shooter at corner let the dribbler do iso 1 v 1, either u get exposed 1 v 1 in the paint or u get exposed in the perimeter by shooters. yes jazz cant switch defense quickly , they can only choose to give up the paint or give up the perimeter . if both end working for mavs normally , it is really hard to dealt with.

Thank you!! That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. If Luka comes back and the Jazz decide to go with a small lineup, Luka’s gonna score 40 in the paint alone.

Now imagine what luka would do to gobert on a switch, which luka is very good at hunting. Gobert will prevent easy layups from luka sure, but luka can make him dance and then create plenty of space for an easy midrange jumper. So ultimately with or without gobert on the floor, mavs will have great offense it seems to me. Which means jazz must optimize their offense, and small ball gives them the best offense it seems.

Exactly. Everybody wants to blame Gobert but he is the ONLY real defender on the Jazz. No Gobert and Mavs will get to the rim every time. Kleber is shooting 80% from 3 !!!! so that is making life tough. But Jazz guards don't defend... Mitchell especially.
That victory in game two was so important, it gave the team the confidence they could win without Luka. Only bring back Luka for game 4 if he's 100 %, otherwise wait for homecourt.
The problem on D is that the best O players on the Jazz in Mitchell and Clarkson are poor defenders. Add Bogdanovic, who is just average, and you get a team that simply cannot guard.
@@SolaceMcfly No one is driving against GObert when he is the initial defender. Problem occurs when the initial defender gets beat and Rudy comes over to help.
This is definitely a great opportunity J. Kidd showing his coaching skills 👏🏾 and the rest of the team to step up when the best player is out the game actually is opening up there offensive allowing these other players to showcase there shooting range.

great comp man. Nailed it. Jazz are STACKED Bogdon is actually a great defender, mitchell came into the league as a defender, they should be much better
Y’all need to start giving respect to the Mavs. Every time I see Inside the NBA talking about this series, they’re always acting like it’s an easy win for the Jazz and after these past two wins, instead of praising the Mavs for what they did right, all they talk about is what the Jazz did wrong instead of just giving the Mavs credit for getting it done. Chuck keeps forgetting the fact that he said Jazz would sweep and before this game he said the Jazz would knock the Mavs down. Y’all need to stop making this about the Jazz’s problems and focus more on the Mavs being able to overcome the Jazz.
Perfectly said. I'm a Mavs fan of 23 plus years the constant disrespect it's insulting. I'm loving the team ball and the solid defense. Clearly this cast forgot we were a top 10 defensive team and its showing in this series.
i get what u mean, but its better to live under the radar than on the spotlight, look what happened to the lakers, its what's happening to the jazz now, the pressure is on them. keep the disrespect coming, let our game speak for itself
Kinda agree with the crew. Game 4 is not really a must win game for them but had they lost today though then play him game 4 but since they won then rest him. Serves as precaution so that he doesn't reinjury himself from rushing to play and he needs the rest as well cause they need him to be heathly throughout their playoff run.
Brunson and Spencer will kill a small ball lineup without Gobert even if Luka doesn't play. Jazz came back without Gobert but that was just a run and Mavs needed to adjust. If they sit Gobert... it's not like the rest of the Jazz players are going to defend! 🤣🤣🤣 Connally used to be a good defender but he's lost a step. Donovan and Clarkson just play offense.
@@just_some_southeast_asian_guy I get that, but there's also a few decent reasons for him to play, like wanting to keep momentum and end the series as soon as possible, as well as getting him some real gametime before the second round, if that's where the mavs go. But ultimately I trust the mavs training staff, if they let Luka go I trust it's because they are 100% sure he's ok to do it.
Don’t forget, Mavericks play so good for last month and a half. They beat top teams regularly. This is just continuation, great team basketball, good mix of talent, and on top of that they have Luka! About Jason Kid and his basketball mind, we don’t have to talk about it.
The growth of Mavs players and adding dimwiddie is great. That team used to look co nooletekt lost when Luka would go to the bench for two minutes, now they're winning playoff games to keep them alive till the gets back
Why you so salty? Gobert deserved those awards, he's just a bad fit right now. Jokic getting swept against basically 2017 warriors has no effect on his MVP awards. He went for almost 40 last night and they still lost. If your 2nd and 3rd option are Will Barton and Aaron Gordon, you're just screwed. Taking this chicken nuggets team to the 6th seed in the West is just worth an MVP...
Honestly, Gobert isn't the issue on D (I'd agree that he's not great on offense); the Jazz's main issue is perimeter D, as in they don't have any. Mitchell and Clarkson just suck at it, Conley is declining quickly, Bojan is ok, but too slow. Mitchell and Clarkson are pulling a Lebron so far: they give up more points than they make.
@@felixmalcherek2919 Why do we praise Gobert for being a one man defense in the Regular season but then make excuses when he fails to do so in the playoffs??
he is not the entire issue the utah guards and wings can`t guard a parked car, they got brunson out there looking like mj .....(1)brunson goes by them rudy rotate dunk (2) brunson goes by them rudy dosenot rotate dunk although rudy can`t move well is also an issue but weak perimeter defender are a much bigger issue
Man they just broke a franchise record for most 3s in two games Utah should be embarrassed no Hardaway or Luka they're done and Mitchell needs to request trade immediately if they don't get pass second round cause this wouldn't prove sh*t cause Luka haven't played should be up 3-0.
Its weird that in goldenstates vs Denver match they talked about winning team lethal weapon 3, draymond leadership, curry bench stuff etc, they talked about jokic little bit due to his numbers but in case of mavs vs jazz they talked about losing team jazz like about Mitchel, Rudy their game plans, they shouldn't been do that, do this but they didn't talked about winning team mavs.. Hypocrisy at its best 👌
Dallas is really good, especially after KP trade, where they got Dinwiddie, as additional PG/Shot creator. Utah is bad at perimeter defense for a long time.
@CT it’s not that they’re attacking gobert but using his strength as a weakness. They’re attacking their wing defenders because they’re not good which force gobert to help every play giving guys open shots. And like you said gobert isn’t embiid or jokic where it backfire
I am a Mavs fan. The Mavs shooters are cooking right now, especially Bertans, Kleeber, and Bullock. They weren't this smoke before playoffs. Kleeber was .200 on 3 the last 2 months. Jazz would hope the Mavs cool down on 3. No matter what Jazz does if Mavs are smoking hot on 3 then the series is over soon
Maybe but I’m convinced the Jazz is a community team meaning they play great basketball, but they play it for the ticket prices lol not the championship.
@@toughmunths not a "great" player but a "good" offensive player. He's got 0 defense and his offense ain't that great either especially in every 4th quarter.
@@zazapacheapshot5086 He is a great player. A good player is your typical role player but without a doubt Donavan is a great player but don't get it misconstrued with a stellar or superstar player. There are tiers and a great player is not at the top of that pyramid
Dallas is Really a dangerous Team, no matter if they loose or win they really got some tremendous shooter at the same time they got guys who can penetrate and hurt teams inside it’s really a bad match up for the Jazz
Mitchell has never got fully healthy & still scores but his defense is slow & not strong enough for the bulldog Brunson he likes physically & can finish in the paint and Connelly is old & less weight & less physical. He hadn't had a 30pt gm in a long while, season avg 17.?., next game will tell if we got a series.
chocked 3-1 vs denver 2020 playoff. chocked 2-0 vs clippers without kawhi 2021 and now chocking 1-2 vs dallas without luka. yes blow the team up, utah ain't going nowhere
And another point to add on to what Chuck says about pushing everything to Rudy, if they know he's there's then that's even easier to say ok I'm not letting them shoot open on the perimeter. I'm here because Rudy's behind me even if they get past he can step up I can rotate.
Imagine being a jazz fan they crumble every year 😂😂 how do you lose 2 games without luka on the floor this is terrible, i learned my lesson i’m never betting on these fools again
I just don’t get why they never addressed having someone other than gobert who guard the rim. Don’t gotta be that talented jus someone who can do something on the offense so you can space on offense and still have defense like a brook Lopez.
I'll just keep saying what I say every time the jazz lose. You cant pay a role player LeBron money and expect to win. Especially when that role player is so easy to take out of the game.
It’s not even that. It’s Gobert getting outplayed, not having an offensive bag at all. Their perimeter defense is horrendous, which forces Rudy to overhelp. It’s not on him solely in my opinion but I’m so sick of these stat gurus telling me he’s a good defender all around lol
@@roadrunner651 that makes no sense. He was only one to uphold the Jazz defense past years, it was all him lmao.. Mitchell and others played a tiny bit better defense then, but its almost non-existent now. Thats why they target Mitchell.

@@18thSTVATO he would in this era on this team, what you think Ben Wallace going to do on the offensive end? Or you think he can defend rim or come off help all game long and Kleber would just miss the same shots? Or that him being there somehow makes Mitchell or rest of the Jazz perimeter players show any effort on defensive end?
I saw that... and non of the zebras saw anything. Just trucked him in the back. But kleber did get him back with a nasty screen in the paint.. did you see that
Can someone explain to me why Gobert was guarding Brunson most of the night when he’s a center and brunsons a guard ? This is an example of how coaching literally can cost a team !!!
Brunson is using his Center in a P&R situation. Gobert has to switch onto Brunson Because his guy he's guarding has been caught up in the screen otherwise he risks Jalen blowing by him for an easy layup. It's called switching.
They shooting 3s because Rudy is behind the basket. Would he go to the corner they would be behind the basket. Chicken and egg. Kenny this is so elementary 🙄
Kidd got the mavs playing like in the 11 championship run. Everybody could shoot so they shot their lights out you had dirk (which is a shooter) surrounded by shooters they jus did Luka the same way.
If Luka plays tomorrow it should be on a minute restriction and off the bench. He probably could’ve played yesterday but wanted to give me a little more time to heal. Let him get a feel for it without taking from Brunsons attack mindset. Then on Monday let him loose completely to take over the game.
Gobert is assigned to protect the rim because he is the best rim protector. If he contest three points by a small ball center, no ones gonna guard the paint or even rebound the ball. Jazz need better perimeter defenders because no one can stay in front of their man. They can get pass the defender and straight to the rim, Rudy has no choice but to protect the rim.
People blame Rudy but cmon. The man is a center, he’s doing his job. The Utah guards need to play at least some defense. It’s getting embarrassing. You’re NBA players not bullfighters.
If Rudy guards the corner or if the jazz go small it’s gonna be a conga line to the basket, especially when Luka comes back.

Thought about it and Utahs problem is they have literally no on ball defenders
I just wanna give props to reggie bullock for hitting those threes when the jazz are making a run to silence the crowd.
Man they just broke a franchise record for most 3s in two games Utah should be embarrassed no Hardaway or Luka they're done and Mitchell needs to request trade immediately if they don't get pass second round cause this wouldn't prove sh*t cause Luka haven't played should be up 3-0.
Its weird that in goldenstates vs Denver match they talked about winning team lethal weapon 3, draymond leadership, curry bench stuff etc, they talked about jokic little bit due to his numbers but in case of mavs vs jazz they talked about losing team jazz like about Mitchel, Rudy their game plans, they shouldn't been do that, do this but they didn't talked about winning team mavs..
Hypocrisy at its best 👌
Chuck keeps trying to save face lol, stop it you were saying how Dallas was going to get smacked
this mavs team literally feels like kuorokos team from korokono basket. the energy that radiates from the team like everyone opened the gate.
Onovan Mitchelle. The D is missing cause he doesn't play it 😂😂😂
Barkley playing it like he didn’t said the Jazz would sweep the Mavs. He’s speaking like he was humbled by the Mavs
is utah that bad or are dallas that good?
Both
Dallas is that good.. jazz aren’t bad at all
Dallas is really good, especially after KP trade, where they got Dinwiddie, as additional PG/Shot creator.
Utah is bad at perimeter defense for a long time.
@CT it’s not that they’re attacking gobert but using his strength as a weakness. They’re attacking their wing defenders because they’re not good which force gobert to help every play giving guys open shots. And like you said gobert isn’t embiid or jokic where it backfire
I’m a luka fan but man am I proud of the mavs -Warriors Fan
I am a Mavs fan. The Mavs shooters are cooking right now, especially Bertans, Kleeber, and Bullock. They weren't this smoke before playoffs. Kleeber was .200 on 3 the last 2 months. Jazz would hope the Mavs cool down on 3.
No matter what Jazz does if Mavs are smoking hot on 3 then the series is over soon
When you see teams playing good without his “Super Stars ” is the meaning of great teams mates make good all stars . 😉
chuck really loves utah huh😂
Jazz blowing it up after this season 😂
Maybe but I’m convinced the Jazz is a community team meaning they play great basketball, but they play it for the ticket prices lol not the championship.
The jazz defense defense has to step up
24 sec in. O'Neal from the Jazz with a dirty ass play on Brunson a elbow to the kidney
Thank you Charles!!!!! 💕 Go Mavs!
Kenny is the best analysis on this program
To be honest Brunson and dinwiddie been destroying the jazz
Mitchell and Gobert are both overrated. I don't know why they were selected as allstar. No one respects the jazz, even in 2K.
Mitchell can hoop don't be disrespectful
Mitchell is a great player hes just not a superstar if he wants to take the next step hes got a lot of work to do starting with the defensive end
@@toughmunths not a "great" player but a "good" offensive player. He's got 0 defense and his offense ain't that great either especially in every 4th quarter.
@@zazapacheapshot5086 He is a great player. A good player is your typical role player but without a doubt Donavan is a great player but don't get it misconstrued with a stellar or superstar player. There are tiers and a great player is not at the top of that pyramid
@@toughmunths Jalen Brunson is better than Donovan Mitchell. Unless you don’t like the truth?
Damn no love or like for the Mavs smh.
Y'all never give the Mavs they props of winning y'all just talk about the other team how they lost and what they need to do better to win
Shaq is completely right. Rudy is no threat so he can’t make the Mavs pay for playing small
JAZZ u cant win at home even when Donkic aint playin...
my Lord😳
I cant believe that Mavs were able to pull it off without Luka!
That little snicker at 5:28 🤣🤣🤣
if you take out rudy its just gonna be uncontested layups so the jazz are in a weird spot
They all have to improve in D so that Gobert Can contest 3's
Currently they just cant afford to not protect the paint....
Royce O'Neil was getting tired of JB killin Utah 😂😂😂
And also,the jazz should give more playing time to Jordan Clarkson
Mavs team defense is simply just much better than Jazz team defense. It's not Rudy or Donovan or anyone specific.
jazz defense is a joke
Dallas is Really a dangerous Team, no matter if they loose or win they really got some tremendous shooter at the same time they got guys who can penetrate and hurt teams inside it’s really a bad match up for the Jazz
Mitchell has never got fully healthy & still scores but his defense is slow & not strong enough for the bulldog Brunson he likes physically & can finish in the paint and Connelly is old & less weight & less physical. He hadn't had a 30pt gm in a long while, season avg 17.?., next game will tell if we got a series.
Dallas might finish Utah off in 5 games
If he’s 100, definitely bring him back. You have a chance to win both. Jazz a bad road team. You can end this in 5. And let the whole team get rest.
Smh Utah shoulda kept Joe Ingles. He’s a playoff bully, thats where he thrives. Go DALLAS DTX STAND UP!! WE HERE BABY!!
Dude where's my car is an awfully great movie
Brunson reminds me a Jameer Nelson. You young kids look up Jameer back in his prime when he played in Orlando 🔥
I get what Charles is saying but it would be so much sweeter for us to come home and finish them off
I’ve been saying for years Phily just need Brunson to reach that next level . Always been high on that guy nice to see the mavs holding on to him .
This is the best thing that coulda happened to the Mavs!
And RIP to the ppl who said Luka was as indispensable as Jokic 🪦
Its the guard ..the mike,rudy,bogdanovic ...these guys needs to step up
chocked 3-1 vs denver 2020 playoff. chocked 2-0 vs clippers without kawhi 2021 and now chocking 1-2 vs dallas without luka. yes blow the team up, utah ain't going nowhere
They are talking like this is all Utah's fault and Mavs is just doing the default.
Dwight Powell will get 20pts per game if Gobert starts locking on the corner 3
And another point to add on to what Chuck says about pushing everything to Rudy, if they know he's there's then that's even easier to say ok I'm not letting them shoot open on the perimeter. I'm here because Rudy's behind me even if they get past he can step up I can rotate.
Imagine being a jazz fan they crumble every year 😂😂 how do you lose 2 games without luka on the floor this is terrible, i learned my lesson i’m never betting on these fools again
Mitchell's our guy he will play a great masterful defense and they will win the next game..
I freaking love charles barkley
I just don’t get why they never addressed having someone other than gobert who guard the rim. Don’t gotta be that talented jus someone who can do something on the offense so you can space on offense and still have defense like a brook Lopez.
this should be 3-0 had the mavs shoot well on free throws during first game.
Let me just remind everybody that Chuck said the Jazz "will sweep" the Mavs.
Sweep my ass.
I'll just keep saying what I say every time the jazz lose. You cant pay a role player LeBron money and expect to win. Especially when that role player is so easy to take out of the game.
Every playoffs a team figure out how to neutralize Gobert defensively & every playoffs those stat nerds constantly defend him tho 🤷🏾♂️
It’s not even that. It’s Gobert getting outplayed, not having an offensive bag at all. Their perimeter defense is horrendous, which forces Rudy to overhelp. It’s not on him solely in my opinion but I’m so sick of these stat gurus telling me he’s a good defender all around lol
Never seen Ben Wallace get did like that
@@chirayudesai793 he looks like a good defender buz their guards are weak defender
@@roadrunner651 that makes no sense. He was only one to uphold the Jazz defense past years, it was all him lmao.. Mitchell and others played a tiny bit better defense then, but its almost non-existent now. Thats why they target Mitchell. People hating on Gobert is just biased casuals, aint got nothing to do with stats gurus lmao..
@@18thSTVATO he would in this era on this team, what you think Ben Wallace going to do on the offensive end? Or you think he can defend rim or come off help all game long and Kleber would just miss the same shots? Or that him being there somehow makes Mitchell or rest of the Jazz perimeter players show any effort on defensive end?
Is it just me or Kenny is making some damn good points lately? Keep it up Kenny🫡
They even tried to injure Bronson 🤮
I saw that... and non of the zebras saw anything. Just trucked him in the back. But kleber did get him back with a nasty screen in the paint.. did you see that
@@JohnWayne-ec1gi yeah bud saw that one but that's part of the play as compared to brunson's which was just unnecessary
@@willcarpio8329 yeah I know... but they did that 1 on purpose, how often they set a pick that deep and on the same guy that cheap shot JB
@@JohnWayne-ec1gi we'll win this series anyway, this Utah team is just waiting for this season to finish and will break up lol
@@willcarpio8329 agreed
Turn down that music during the highlights. Can't hear the commentary
Can someone explain to me why Gobert was guarding Brunson most of the night when he’s a center and brunsons a guard ? This is an example of how coaching literally can cost a team !!!
Gobert can't play in this series,Teams go small & he has to guard the perimeter & on top that he has no offensive game to save his damn life.
You bet 5k and ask a question like dat? 😂
Brunson is using his Center in a P&R situation. Gobert has to switch onto Brunson Because his guy he's guarding has been caught up in the screen otherwise he risks Jalen blowing by him for an easy layup. It's called switching.
Hmmmm... Switch?
For everyone crying switch their were plays were he went straight to him 1 on 1 of course their were pick and roll plays
They are about to drop the best player in the world into a series that’s already looking rough for the jazz
They shooting 3s because Rudy is behind the basket. Would he go to the corner they would be behind the basket. Chicken and egg.
Kenny this is so elementary 🙄
Kidd got the mavs playing like in the 11 championship run. Everybody could shoot so they shot their lights out you had dirk (which is a shooter) surrounded by shooters they jus did Luka the same way.
Everyone is up for a trade. EVERYONE. Start over.
“There’s nobody he can guard”😭😭
If Luka plays tomorrow it should be on a minute restriction and off the bench. He probably could’ve played yesterday but wanted to give me a little more time to heal. Let him get a feel for it without taking from Brunsons attack mindset. Then on Monday let him loose completely to take over the game.
Gobert is assigned to protect the rim because he is the best rim protector. If he contest three points by a small ball center, no ones gonna guard the paint or even rebound the ball. Jazz need better perimeter defenders because no one can stay in front of their man. They can get pass the defender and straight to the rim, Rudy has no choice but to protect the rim.
I am a MFFL. Why is it that when these guys do analysis, it is always about: how to beat the mavericks.
People blame Rudy but cmon. The man is a center, he’s doing his job. The Utah guards need to play at least some defense. It’s getting embarrassing. You’re NBA players not bullfighters.
Utah is in a tough spot because Dallas is pretty much running a 5-out offense. Its like the Utah perimeter defense is outnumbered 4 to 5
