    We struggled to defend the two big lineup as Holic suggests. It isn't because of Capela though it's because we don't have personnel to match that. In general I think Gobert is just a great matchup against us. They way they use him maybe?

    Reagardless, it's pretty simple with the Rockets. If the shooters hit at a decent clip the other teams fall apart.

    So if they ran Udoh spelling the other two and kept running big lineups what would happen?

    Too bad you don't see Clint as a good center and Rubio as an average guard, if you did you know the Jazz have very, very little chance versus this Rockets squad. Jazz will probably win a game maybe 2 because they are a great defensive team and they play in Utah. However Harden is way better than Mitchell (whom I enjoy watching, which is really hard to say as a LONG time Jazz hater). But to answer your question. Game 1 showed a great way to defend the Jazz. Gordon pressuring Mitchell not giving him any space and make him work. For the Jazz to win they need Mitchell to be "Harden like" and Gobert with another player like Crowder or Ingles to hit several threes. So run those guys off the 3 point line.
