Sending in my own #askloj to the show.
If Donovan Mitchell had been drafted by Cleveland in 2018 like Colin Sexton and played his first 3 years in Cleveland with that roster and no Rudy Gobert how much more would have Cleveland won and how would he be perceived #askloj – 12:52 PM

This play felt like a winding DLo PnR action, the type you’d expect to happen often between he and Gobert.
It’s also a good example of how DLo-Gobert PnR can really engage the surrounding players in that action. We’ve seen Ant dive from the left corner before… different result. pic.twitter.com/taVVW8ZEmF – 10:40 PM

Luka Doncic just his a stepback three over Rudy Gobert to extend Slovenia’s lead to double-digits, and you better believe he enjoyed that.
He’s up to 45 points in 33 minutes on the second night of a back to back. – 12:53 PM

Luka Doncic is 5 of 8 from three in 17 mins today, none more ridiculous than that floater over Rudy Gobert in the corner.
He was 6 of 30 from three in the first 4 games of EuroBasket. – 11:52 AM

Slovenia 20-19 after 1 after trailing 14-4 missing their first 6 shots. Luka 13-2-3 (3-6 FG 2-4 3pt 5-6 FT). Gobert two early fouls helped, but Slovenia is likely to have to play VERY small there rest of the game with no Tobey and his best back up Edo Muric with 3 fouls. – 11:39 AM

Slovenia not playing Tobey today after he wrenched his ankle on the opening tip yesterday vs Germany. His 3pt shooting has the ability to bring Gobert out of the lane and will be missed today – 11:17 AM

A good portion of the Jazz roster is likely available on the trade market after the Mitchell/Gobert deals. Are there any targets that make sense for the #Celtics after Gallinari’s injury? I take a deep dive into the potential names: masslive.com/celtics/2022/0… – 10:08 AM

More on this storyline
Doncic scored 47 points — the second-most by anyone in the history of the European championships — and led Slovenia past France 88-82 on Wednesday for the top seed out of Group B going into this weekend’s start of the knockout round. “Luka, obviously, is a fantastic player,” said France center Rudy Gobert, one of the world’s top defenders. -via ESPN / September 7, 2022
“Bron came out of nowhere. I didn’t see him. No one said anything. It was just like he flew from the other site and I seen that clip so many times. It was used on commercials, it was used … social media. “It just pisses me off every time I see it. So that’s why. I’m mad because I didn’t dunk him. My dad always is like ‘Why didn’t you dunk it?’ I was like ‘I didn’t see him coming at all.’ … Him or probably I would say [Rudy] Gobert.” -via TalkBasket / September 7, 2022
Jorge Sierra: Per @Alberto de Roa’s Global Rating, Rudy Gobert has been the 43rd-best player at the Eurobasket so far (between Estonia’s Maik Kotsar and Greece’s Kostas Sloukas). France is 3-1 in the tournament. -via Twitter @hoopshype / September 6, 2022
