Draymond Green takes another shot at Rudy Gobert
ClutchPoints: “Marcus Smart, you won DPOY, you guard Steph [Curry], right?… There’s a center who won [it] and we’re asking Karl-Anthony Towns to go guard the center.” Draymond Green on KAT guarding Nikola Jokic 👀 (via @TheVolumeSports) pic.twitter.com/pTSe7rzmTg

Important and good initial read here by Rudy Gobert that won’t show up in the stat sheet.
I would say Gobert’s most impactful growth stride on the offensive end this season has been his ability to function as a short roll passer. He’s not always smooth with it, but it’s plenty pic.twitter.com/XQTLHKguvl – 6:38 PM

One thing I’d like to see in Game 7: Rudy Gobert take a charge
Just looked it up, Gobert has only drawn two total charges in two seasons with the Wolves. Not his style to be floppy, I get it. But it’s almost like Jokic knows that. I mean, almost every time Jokic gets Gobert pic.twitter.com/i6ayXbud8f – 6:23 PM

At the beginning of the series, Denver’s defensive concession was that they were gonna leave Rudy Gobert open on the roll to the basket — they pressed Jokic up to the level of the screen and relied on him and AG or KCP to create a wall that Ant would have to thread if they wanted pic.twitter.com/CWFsVlCA5J – 1:39 PM

Getting hit with multiple 20-0 runs is wild
This is worse than when Warriors went to Memphis and got smacked by 39. Draymond was doing whoop that trick with the crowd that night … a significant level of unbothered

Denver usually sits Jokic at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters, but they’ve adjusted that tonight and he just hasn’t sat yet midway through the 2nd.
