Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunovThe NBA has now doled out 11 fines this season for cursing/profanity for a total of $250,000 in fines after Rudy Gobert’s F-bomb.
Total fines over the previous two seasons: 1 for $25,000.
The FCC might let you be but Adam Silver won’t. Reason why 👇

Does anyone care if a player cusses in a postgame interview? Was anyone offended by what Rudy Gobert said?
I mean, outside the suits in the NBA office and some non-NBA watchers just looking for something to complain about. Who cares? Stop fining players for this. – 7:57 PM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix

After all the discussion just a few weeks ago of how Donovan Mitchell barely passes the ball to Rudy Gobert, Saturday’s Game 4 between the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks couldn’t have ended any other way. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 10:33 AM Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Rudy Gobert had a playoff career best 10 off rebs (Of the 13 by Utah). He had never had more than 7 in any playoff game, and has had 4 other 10+ games in the regular season, but none since 2017 (One of which came vs the Mavs in a 27 pt 25 reb game). – 10:30 AM Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Dwyane Wade on Donovan Mitchell-to-Rudy Gobert for W: “At the end of the day, those guys have a respect for each other, man.

Just watched Jazz-Mavs. 3 things.
1. NO TIMEOUT!!!!
2. The timing of Gobert’s drag screen on that last play was perfect. Also, the lift by Jordan Clarkson to occupy Bullock.
3. Biggest play of the game was Maxi’s sixth foul at the 4:19 mark. Dallas couldn’t play 5 out after that – 12:24 AM Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
The Jazz couldn’t have written a better script than Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert connecting on an alley-oop with the season on the line. “It’s poetic justice in a way,” Gobert told ESPN. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 12:01 AM Rudy Gobert @rudygobert27

Donovan, on the key to the defense on the final play: “Make somebody else shoot. … Dinwiddie’s hit like 3 of those in the regular season, so when he shot it, I was a little nervous. But it’s hard to shoot over Rudy Gobert.” – 8:36 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Donovan Mitchell, on if meant a little more to throw the winning pass to Rudy Gobert: “I think it’s funny, man. But it felt good, because you hear . … We trust each other.” – 8:30 PM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk

Rudy Gobert, on Bojan Bogdanovic’s defense: “He set the tone. He set the tone for us. Everyone looks at Bogey and says, ‘If Bogey is doing it, why can’t I?’ It’s contagious.” – 7:57 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
