SALT LAKE CITY — It’s never wise to venture into the paint against the Jazz, because it rarely turns out well. The big guy ends up swatting your shot all the way to France.
These things happen when you’re facing a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Are we talking about Rudy Gobert?
Yes and no.
Gobert isn’t the original Jazz intimidator. That would be Mark Eaton. You can see him, too, Tuesday night when the Jazz host the Lakers.
In a different era, before shooters of all sizes started stretching the floor, offenses worked from the inside.
