It can't be forgotten that defense tightens up in the playoffs and minutes for top players are expanded, though. If Gobert is healthy, along with a tough road environment, I still think I prefer Denver.
As to an earlier post concerning Mitchell's low passes to Gobert, that's insane. I think Mitchell is severely overrated. He's a good player with some good offensive chops, but if his 3 isn't falling he can be ghosted from a game plan fairly easily. He's also smaller than I thought despite a slightly thicker build up top which helps him on his drives. I think Gobert would thrive here. Defense and rebounding with some easy looks from Luka etc? Sign me up if there's trouble between the two.
