So it’s not like the Jazz are the only team missing players.

I didn’t say they were. You can’t judge a team with elite team defense when their team isn’t playing. That’s true

Since were talking elite. How is that 28th best offense coming along?

Offense is a struggle. Happens when you lose the best player in the NBA & a top

Gobert is so dominant, that he makes it close on his own

You don't get it. The Jazz defense IS Gobert.

The Jazz would have been better with him for sure, but not great.

Against their best non Rudy defender no-less. Does show the importance of Rudy

I don't think it was a secret that Gobert is key

When your defense is designed to run people off the three and funnel them to...

They're not. Gobert is an elite defensive player.
