Now back to Rockets v. Jazz prep

Here is biggest difference for Jazz v. Rockets compared to Thunder.

v. Thunder - Favors and Gobert played 134 minutes (30 in game 6) and were +55

v. Rockets played 31 minutes and are -28

The Jazz defensive rating in each game with Favors and Gobert on the floor together

Game 1: 127 in 14 minutes
Game 2: 143 in 10 minutes
Game 3: 167 in 7 minutes

This is going to lead to some very hard discussions

Jazz with Jae Crowder and Rudy Gobert on the floor together in the series v. Rockets have played 35 minutes and the offensive rating is 103.8 and the defensive rating is 101. Jazz are positive

Jazz with Jae Crowder and Derrick Favors on the floor together in the series v. Rockets have played 35 minutes and the offensive rating is 103.9 and the defensive rating is 88.1.

Jazz have played 9 minutes with Jerebko and Gobert and 16 minutes with Jerebko and Favors and both are positive.

Jazz have proven that Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert can work together but they can't be dependent on it with the way the game is evolving and this may be the ultimate example. Interesting to see in the rest of the series

Last piece on this thread. Favors got an ankle sprain last game and couldn't finish game. So now he is once again battling an injury. Has been amazing battling these items. Key part to winning 1st round series last year when playing at about 40%
