The Utah Jazz were able to defeat the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, giving them their 10th consecutive win of the season. In response to Utah's 10th straight victory, Rudy Gobert had an NSFW message for his critics on social media.
Love this team… #ontothenextone #weonlygettingstarted #fuckyourpredictions

Before the 2020-2021 season began, not many people were predicting the Jazz to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference. While many had them slotted in as a playoff team, there wasn't an abundance of people who viewed them as a legitimate contender.
However, Utah has strung together 10 consecutive wins after beginning the season with an average 4-4 record. Seeing that the Los Angeles Lakers lost their first road game of the season on Wednesday, the Jazz now have the best record in the Western Conference.
In his tweet, Gobert is firing back at all of the fans and media members that were skeptical of the Jazz. Of course, Gobert could be speaking to Shaquille O'Neal, who is well-documented as someone who isn't a fan of Gobert or Utah's roster.
Gobert has started the season by recording 13.4 points per game, which is the lowest mark of his career since the 2015-2016 season. On the other hand, he is averaging career-highs in rebounds (14.2) and blocks (2.8) per game.
Despite Utah having a talented roster, they have been overlooked by many when it comes to legitimate contenders in the league. As the Jazz position themselves as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, Gobert wants everyone to know that they are for real.
