Welcome to the mismatch.

I'm Chris Varnan.

He does every week from the Ringer.com.

It's Dave Jacoby. Jacoby.

Three game threes tonight. Three very interesting results and one that is still going.

I did not expect to start this pod before Wolves Nuggets ended.

This has been shocking.

Might have changed our opinion a little bit because before the game this evening, there was the report that Aaron Gordon was going to be out.

And upon that news coming down, you knew that the nuggets were already going to be up against it

because you're playing the first home game in the series. If you're Minnesota. And so you're

probably going to get a home run effort. And in fact, we did get home run efforts out of all

of the home teams for game threes tonight.

And so it felt like, man, if they don't have Aaron Gordon for this, obviously when you've got

Gobert doing the job he has been able to do on Yokech. And then you've got all of these

long, lanky wing defenders to be able to show to all the time to

Jamal Murray. You're sitting there looking through it and you're going, okay, this pecking

order gets pretty gross, pretty fast because if it's, if you're going to be selling out

on Yo Kitch, you're going to be selling out on Murray, who's going to be able to step up for the Nuggets? And the answer is nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. The answer is nobody. I mean, I said it in the last pod, but Yokic has not looked like the best player in the world in this series. He hasn't. I mean, as it stands right now, he's two for 10 for three, seven for 26, seven for 26 from

the field right now.

This is hard for me to say.

This is, this is Rudy Gobert legacy stuff.

It just is. A guy, I can't, I, I, I've never been. This is Rudy Gobert legacy stuff.
