I noted the problem with Towns-Gobert. Answering that the Mavs beat a team with Gobert is completely non-responsive -- it's so very NOT the same obstacle at all.
The answer in some cases MIGHT be small ball (as you prefer) and smaller ball (as you prefer) and even smallest --- but it's not always the best answer. Sometimes there needs to be some way on your team to stop the bleeding if you're getting killed in the middle.
Maxi alone, as the only competent playable center, isn't enough to handle GS. Or Minn. Or any number of other teams. Or keep from breaking down if played long minutes for 82 games. They did get him some help, and what they did almost certainly didn't keep them from ANY other opportunity to address other areas of need.
