NBA: another failure for Rudy Gobet and the Jazz, eliminated by Dallas

The season therefore ends there for Rudy Gobert.

Beaten by Dallas at home (96-98) this Thursday evening, Utah leaves the NBA play-offs, the Mavericks can no longer be caught (4-2).

A disappointment for the pivot of the France team, still in search of the Holy Grail with his club, released in the first round of the play-offs for the third time in four years.

Hard-fought series!

It didn't play out much, in this case a walk from Mike Conley, whose shoe moved too much on braking, to spoil a crucial possession, followed by a failed attempt behind Bojan Bogdanovic's arc .

Rudy Gobert, who was able to play despite being stung in the nose by a bee from his hive, did what he could (10 pts, 12 rebounds).

"I don't know if we played at our level," he said after the game.

We have a lot of talent.

This year we had to deal with more adversity.

I feel like we could have been a lot better.

We inevitably wonder why we could not be regular.

“Almost ten years after his arrival, the question of the future of the French pivot in Utah inevitably arises.

The native of Saint-Quentin would no doubt like to stay but his leaders may want to find him another destination during the summer.

“When I arrived 9 years ago, I wanted to win a title, that hasn't changed.

I still want to win, but some things are not up to me.

I will do everything to be the best I can be on the court, and play to win.

I can't control the rest,” Gobert said.
