Thay game was frustrating to watch. People have been shitting on Gobert after it, but I have asked a few times what he could have done different to crickets.He is a game changing presence.
Obvious physical gifts allow that to happen. But he’s a student of defensive basketball on top of that.
Just an awful overpay of epic proportions doesn’t change how good he is as a defender.
But man does Jokic have some stretches of just making him look pedestrian.
The coast to coast dunk after back to back bunnies brought me off the couch like I was doin the worm. Best player on the planet. Who nobody can stop.
He was never out of position, he played awesome defense, Jokic just made it anyway. Even on a perfect closeout with his higher reach than anyone else could put in, Jokic just rainbowed it in for 3.
People need to stop putting so much blame on Gobert and start putting the praise on Jokic for that game. Dude never left the ground, but every shot was unblockable and never missed.
This is like watching Shaq dominate David Robinson in the playoffs and the takeaway being "I guess Robinson can't defend"
