Trail Blazers coach says Wolves center is a player you can attack in the playoffs.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has yet another detractor — this time an NBA head coach in the Portland Trail Blazers’ Chauncey Billups.
Billups, who led the Trail Blazers to a Western Conference-worst 21-61 record last season, said when he was an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2020-21, the Clippers made it a point to attack Gobert — then with the Utah Jazz — during their second-round playoff series.“ a great defensive player, don’t get me wrong, but you don’t just attack great defensive players. You going away from them,” Billups said on the podcast last week.
Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks were able to create mismatches that included Doncic hitting a game-winner over Gobert during their 4-1 series win over the Wolves in this year's West finals.
