What do you say about the games were he basically disappeared? Against the raptors he was held to under 10 one game and 12 the other this year and that’s mainly because OG was guarding him…to me it’s a bit weird. Then against some other teams like Brooklyn it was 15 points. He seems to bounce around.
Gobert was Utah's biggest defensive liability in the playoffs year after year when he would be drawn out to guard smaller guards in the perimeter. He's the biggest DPOY Fraud that ever existed
Everyone talks about that what you talking about 😂especially since he signed the huge contract shaq was the first one to talk smack about his non existent offense
You can build around a defensive player but it's not common. Early 2000s pistons and nba Champs 2004 pistons captained by defensive phenom Ben Wallace.
I still feel the trade was very mutually beneficial. I love Donovan Mitchell as a Jazz fan, but Sexton, Markkanen as an all star, and tons of draft picks was a really really good deal for our guy Donovan with what the Jazz want to do.
Great vid Casey, would love to see you discuss why on earth Toronto has been so bad this season in spite of a top 5 of FVV, Trent Jr., OG, Barnes, and Siakam, one of the best in the NBA imo.
Fred has the worst true shooting in the nba this season. Their star point guard is having his worse season ever and they don’t seem to have a consistent backup.
Imagine the wolves had kept that depth.. kept Kessler who is currently doing exactly what they hope Rudy would do. They could have still traded picks to improve the roster.
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812ne bad contract is still better than 2. Also, it depends on how those picks turn out. The nets trade is so bad because the Celtics picked two stars in the top 5 picks.
He went to a team that was better than the jazz so it's not surprising he's doing well. Garland, Allen, Mobley. All the Jazz had were Gobert and Mitchell. Conley was done. It's pretty wild that the Cavs had Lauri, who is killing it now, and essentially made him useless. Donovan has chemistry with his new team whole Gobert still doesn't. Black Americans seem to get along and have a hard time meshing with Europeans.
@@aw98000 dude the jazz did a fantastic job building a team around Donovan way better then the cavs have now do you forget they were the number 1 seed in the west?
Considering that Gobert is damn near unplayable in the post season with his inept perimeter defense, I would question any "expert" that thinks you can build a franchise around him in today's NBA.
You aren't building around him, but as the 2nd best player he is good. The Jazz defence sucked which made him look bad when in reality it's the Jazz inept defence that cost them
Nobody ever said or suggested to build a team around him. Only dimwitted morons like you, Andrew, believe that was ever a thing being said. What Gobert is and always has been is a defensive anchor with limited, but effective and efficient, offensive contribution. In fact, Rudy Gobert has the highest career offensive rating of all time. It's unfortunate that things didn't work out yet in Minnesota and it's cool that Mitchell looks good with the Cavs .... But cavs are a second round exit at best
Knicks hate is really real. Gobert playing bad but what does that have to do with the Knicks. They honestly don’t have anything to do with the title of this video. “Spent years planning for a deal like this”? Um this front office just took over. You praise the Cavs for small moves then trash the Knicks for not making a huge move. Ok 👍🏾
He’s usually pretty good with his analysis but he’s a casual with Knicks takes. That trade was divisive even among people that kept saying “the Knicks need a star”. It’s hindsight Furthermore, he just said the Cavs got DM without giving up their core, thus they are a really good team. The Knicks would’ve had to trade cornerstones to get him and still need to do more moves to get another guy. Yea, pretty lazy take and he spent so much time on it too. Unnecessary lol
Simmons was a beast tho and had all the talent in the world to be the next big thing. Unfortunately that didn’t happen but he’s still a very serviceable player
spida didnt do anything in the playoffs so shaq called out the obvious. thats shaqs opinion. and he is allowed to say it (as long as he says it to spidas face not behind his back)
@@johnmarkson1990 nah, if he was really trying to motivate him, he would have talked to him in private, instead of purposely blindsiding him live on national TV during the post game interview with the games top performer. Shaq new he would spin it to look good either way cause if spider doesn't take another leap then he was right, and if he does it's because he motivated him. I like Shaq overall, but the man can be very petty, and those comments were a real dick move.
@@BigWeenisEnergy who said he was trying to motivate him? next level means winning a chip to go with the great stats that spida always puts up. shaq doesnt believe he can do it. thats fine.
I feel bad for Gobert Idk why people blaming him for every team's failure. Hes being utilized by NBA coaches in a wrong way and ffs basketball should be a TEAM defense or TEAM effort. They should watch the french team in Fiba how the french coach utilized him
Laughing at Noah. I went on vacation to Cleveland. They have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame was less than an hour away. I live in Texas. The Cleveland weather was great in June, and they have lots of greenery. Unlike our dead grass in the 110 degree heat.
Well I visited Cleveland twice before on business trip, I don't think I would be vacation on Cleveland. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is fine but not worthy of a week of staying. Maybe visit it passing by Cleveland to somewhere else.
BECAUSE THEY ARE STAT JUNKIES!!! This accomplishment gets diminished with EVERY CONTEXTUAL FACT!!! "Just praise large numbers/Analysis is only for people we like"!!!
Hey Casey, I've been a long time fan of the channel and I just want to say I am so impressed by how the quality of your videos have improved so much. They are so well researched, edited, and put together to be both engaging and educational. Keep up the hard work!
And today it's even more spicy😂 Rudy punching his teammate and getting trolled by draymond on Twitter just before their play in game vs the Lakers just makes his situation worse
Defense is not going to worse. Defenses are just forced to not be reckless anymore. The best defenders in today's NBA, would be all first team defense in the 90's. Most '90s all defensive players, would be unplayable in modern day basketball, because they only have their physicality to rely on.
Did he just say you can’t build a team around a defensive player and the last time that happened was bill Russell??? Are we just gone act like Dwight Howard didn’t exist???? Lol
Before, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP, but in todays era, DEFENSE IS ALMOST ZERO... as a proof just check the current weeks of NBa and you could see many players scoring 40+...
Bucks fan here, I've always thought, said and even argued on YT and elsewhere, as compared e.g. to Luka, D. Mitchell gets disproportionally and unfairly much less credit than he deserves as per the talent and general value as a player. The kid is a genuine baller! All he has to do is control his game, decisions and emotions and be more successful in the playoffs with the help of his teammates, because other than that he is not just a star. He can do everything on the basketball court as a superstar. The skillset is out of this world. And we have been unfair to him, he gets far less credit, I understand Luka, Giannis being from Europe they have fans, NBA is primarily a business, even I am from Greece ok, but basketballwise the credit those two get is unfairly much more than D. Mitchell disproportionally if we consider the relevant talent difference (if there is much of it). And I am not saying give less credit to Luka or Giannis cuz they deserve what they get, but give more and pay more attention to what this kid is doing if you love basketball
It's not unfair my man. It's because he has always lost in the playoffs when he should have won like with the clippers without kawhi and mavs without Luka. Luka went to the conference finals in his 4th year with no other all stars something which d hasn't yet done.
@@someshnarayan7368 yes I see that you are right, I mentioned playoffs too. What I am saying is, imho, he shouldn't get as much credit as Luka or Giannis, but he deserves more than he gets. Of course we will see what happens in the playoffs because this is very important too
@@parists5455 i agree my man. I think that's because the nba wants to position ja v Luka as the next west rivalry and ja is pushed more than he should. Imo dmitch is better than ja and should be getting the same hype.
As a jazz fan, I always said that we need to build around spida and not gobert and this year has shown it. Love both of the guys and hope for the best!
Thats why not a fan of KAT as a leader. Player yes, leader NO. what kind of leader authorises this DLO and Rudi trade. The rudi one especially. They offered so much, everyone knew it wasn't going to work. Except KAT and Min front office.
If the Knicks would’ve given all the assets they had for D Mitch they would be clowned for being in the same situation as the wolves. They actually managed to not get fleeced and still get criticism? I dont get it lol At the end, they’re competitive and still have all their assets. Whats so bad about that?
I dont blame the knicks for not trading for dmitch. Not that he's not an amazing player, but idk if the knicks are a dmitch away from true contention, they seem more likely to be 3 good draft picks away. If they traded for him they'd prolly be more like the hawks than the cavs.
they can both be good lol. the cavs smoking rn as 2nd seed and twolves are the 1st seed, both are finals contenders this yr and spida and gobert both popping off in their own ways
I really think that the wolves can still turn things around with the right Coaching, they need to try that to salvage this team, all isn't lose yet. We all see with the right Coaching philosopy Rudy is a phenonmenal rim protector
We need rule changes. It's to easy for the current guys to break records. Hitting a baseball is hitting a baseball. So you know todays players can compare to yesterdays players. Basketball's rules have changed to the point where we don't know how to evaluate today's player from say the 90s
Just reminding everyone that the reason the Cavs couldn't overpay for anybody was because LeGM saddled the Cavs with overpaid contracts for Tristan Thompson and JR Smith and then bounced to the Lakers.
How are you gonna talk about loser mentality when it came to the Vucevic trade or the Dejounte trade but then turn around and talk about the Knick like theyre idiots for missing out. they wanted RJ, Grimes and a half our draft stock for Mitchell and were the idiots for punting? cmon now, dont do that.
why would the twolves trade for rudy? They had a complete roster with depth and young players, and trading. them the majority of them for someone playing like an underachieving role player.
It's about damn time Spida get's some respeck on his name...For years I see him and Gobert getting disrespected by always being the last 2 or close to last to be chosen for the All-Star teams ..I get it was partly cause they played for the Jazz...But now we see the disrespect for Rudy was kinda warranted.
I agree with you except they should create a Lower league and the bottom 3 teams get demoted and the top 3 teams of the lower league gets promoted. Basically, like what Football(soccer) has done for decades. Prevents teams from purposely playing bad cause you have to survive.
Defense still wins championships and the Warriors didn’t start the 3 pt revolution that was Houston. Golden State started smart shot selection, Steph just had a green light from literally where ever.
As a Jazz fan I love to see Don shine. Jazz teammates were not good enough. And some lame Jazz fans would tell him as a ball hog? Pathetic. Don is entering his prime, will be all star again while Rudy is not doing shit at 40M a year with 0 offensive skills.
I disagree with you at 4:38 for dejounte murray, not only he's great at offense at least he's great at defense unlike trae who not only was a bad defender but shooting the worst 3-point% so far
Lol holy shit. I had no idea that aside from wilts 100, he also has like 3-4 games with 73...😳. The list is pretty much 60% all him. Man, I feel wilt don't get enough love
@@strangeclouds7 no no no wilt dominated russel the Celtics had a better team go look at the stats for each team wilt was the only player on his team to average above 30
Hol up. I have a problem with that statement "you cannot build a team around a defensive player" "hasn't been done since Bill Russell" was Tim Duncan not a defensive monster?
7:29 The video was good until this point: you point international players winning the regular season MVP but how many are winning the Finals MVP in the past 4 years outside of Giannis? You get to the Hall of Fame based on the NBA Finals. Second, the NBA is not the NCAA. Name 32 other US cities that have the economics to support an NBA team and the luxury tax?
Donovan had to score 71 because Mobley was out. When Mobley is on the floor the Cavs are one of the top defenses in the league. Unlike Gobert though he can hit from outside and has good perimeter defense
Donavan has been going crazy this season,the cavs is a perfect team for spida
True he has a lot of young runners with him and they all are solid defenders
What do you say about the games were he basically disappeared? Against the raptors he was held to under 10 one game and 12 the other this year and that’s mainly because OG was guarding him…to me it’s a bit weird.

The Rudy Gobert trade package is one that should only be used for star players who'll actually make their new team better.
@@Identify_As_Right why does it make a difference?
@@Identify_As_Right honestly wouldn’t have made a difference. Rudy gobert is hot garbage.
I guess Rudy didn’t make the wolves better
In my opinion that 71 point game was a top 10 regular season game of all time
I'm pretty sure it already is statistically.
Best statistically since Wilts 100
Well No shit sherlock holmes
Bwo it’s top 5
Top 5 if we're being real

I really think the jazz just wanted draft picks more than anything. 3 unprotected first and 2 pick swaps is the draft picks they got from Cleveland.
Fun fact … Every player that has scored 70+ point in a Regular season game hasn’t won a championship in that season …
That trend will continue

How are you gonna talk about loser mentality when it came to the Vucevic trade or the Dejounte trade but then turn around and talk about the Knick like theyre idiots for missing out. they wanted RJ, Grimes and a half our draft stock for Mitchell and were the idiots for punting? cmon now, dont do that.
we acknowledged where we stood with our team as is and somehow its still a LOLKnick moment?
why would the twolves trade for rudy? They had a complete roster with depth and young players, and trading. them the majority of them for someone playing like an underachieving role player.
BECAUSE THEY WERE A BARELY A PLAY IN TEAM!!!
Why is KAT not being critiqued for getting MIN nowhere as a #1 pick???
SO PROTECTED!!!
Who’s here after wolves beat nuggets to advance to conference finals while DMitch is home
dmitch got injured
U can build a team around a defensive player
04 pistons
Love u Casey keep making great videos
Appreciate it!
It's about damn time Spida get's some respeck on his name...For years I see him and Gobert getting disrespected
by always being the last 2 or close to last to be chosen for the All-Star teams ..I get it was partly cause they played for the
Jazz...But now we see the disrespect for Rudy was kinda warranted.
Expand the league! Are you crazy? There are way too many regular season games, they are meaningless, there should be less teams and less games
I agree with you except they should create a Lower league and the bottom 3 teams get demoted and the top 3 teams of the lower league gets promoted. Basically, like what Football(soccer) has done for decades. Prevents teams from purposely playing bad cause you have to survive.
The wolves need to blow it all up and build around ant. Get rid of dlo Kat and gobert, although dlo has been playing alright recently
Ref cooked the game. No hate on him but they should have lost per the L2M report
Defense still wins championships and the Warriors didn’t start the 3 pt revolution that was Houston. Golden State started smart shot selection, Steph just had a green light from literally where ever.
As a Jazz fan I love to see Don shine. Jazz teammates were not good enough. And some lame Jazz fans would tell him as a ball hog? Pathetic. Don is entering his prime, will be all star again while Rudy is not doing shit at 40M a year with 0 offensive skills.
Need a video about the problem with the NBA/Silver. Lazy D, less competitive edge, awful ref calls and techs, this wasn’t always the case.
I disagree with you at 4:38 for dejounte murray, not only he's great at offense at least he's great at defense unlike trae who not only was a bad defender but shooting the worst 3-point% so far
Cavs have the greatest teammate the refs.
Bro you should change ur channel name to Harden and Gobert Hardcore HATER..lmao...
SINNNNN SIN CITY WASNT MADE FOR YOU
Lol holy shit. I had no idea that aside from wilts 100, he also has like 3-4 games with 73...😳. The list is pretty much 60% all him. Man, I feel wilt don't get enough love
Thats because he doesn't.
@@dennisddt1146 he probably should then.
Bill Russel dominated him
@@strangeclouds7 no no no wilt dominated russel the Celtics had a better team go look at the stats for each team wilt was the only player on his team to average above 30
@@jrfirefiher I know the history brah. The point is that Bill dominated by winning. Winning championships.
Rudy is a scapegoat .. wolves got more problems than just Rudy 🤷♂️
AM hoops would think that these millionaire players are wishing ill will on other players. Newsflash, they aren't.
Hol up. I have a problem with that statement "you cannot build a team around a defensive player" "hasn't been done since Bill Russell" was Tim Duncan not a defensive monster?
Ainge the Goat, TWolves gonna lose AE
20+ free throws. Refs made sure no one touched him in the paint
7:29 The video was good until this point: you point international players winning the regular season MVP but how many are winning the Finals MVP in the past 4 years outside of Giannis? You get to the Hall of Fame based on the NBA Finals. Second, the NBA is not the NCAA. Name 32 other US cities that have the economics to support an NBA team and the luxury tax?
Come on. You can't compare this 3 point era to what Wilt did. They are playing a different sport.
Building around defensive players isn’t the problem, the rockets built around Hakeem ending in two chips. Rudy is just not that guy
@@Identify_As_Right Pistons 2004 though
Donovan had to score 71 because Mobley was out. When Mobley is on the floor the Cavs are one of the top defenses in the league. Unlike Gobert though he can hit from outside and has good perimeter defense
