Disappointing if this is it. No roster spaces available for Otto Porter buy out. Would have to cut Ersan. Bojan, Clarkson, Favors and Hughes still on team. Another shooter for the end of the bench. Looks like that is all he does. Non guaranteed deal next year which could be useful

Anything less than the conference finals is a huge disappointment for Rudy

Be overachieving with this squad especially considering what the Clippers, Denver and Suns have done

Rudy is simultaneously the modern Bill Russell and yet he isn’t even expected to make it past the first round. Odd.

Who they playing in the first round? The Lakers? Again with Russell. :facepalm

Russell played with how many HOFers including his coach? Things change

If Rudy is as good as you make him out to be then getting to at least the conference finals should be no problem

Im so nba'd out
03-25-2021, 05:55 PM
Sixers trade for a 40% 3 point shooter
Clippers trade for future hall of famer Rajon Rondo
Lakers prepare for Andre Drummond buy out
Nuggets trade for Gordon and Javale McGee
Blazers trade for Stormin Norman
Heat get Dipo
(not to mention all the moves that were made before the deadline by championship contenders)


Jazz decide to stand pat thinking they have enough for a championship already.....they do not. Every other championship contender swings for the fences...The jazz trade for Matt Thomas....Who Matt Thomas is....i dont know? But good luck to all the teams in the league may the best team win

He's one of the best players in the league. Not everyone of the best players can be in the conference finals.

First seed in the West, one of the deepest rosters in the NBA

No excuses

Mitchell, Bojan, Clarkson, Favors, Snyder and no PF. Plenty of excuses

Mitchell - All star averaging 25ppg
Conley - All star
Royce - one of the best 3+D players in the league
Bogdan - solid offensive 4
Rudy - best center in the NBA

Clarkson - runaway 6moy candidate
Ingles - great bench piece
Niang - best 9th man in the NBA
Favours - one of the best backup Centers in the league
Snyder - arguably coach of the year this year

Utah are loaded, conference finals minimum

Mitchell low efficiency, high TO, no D
Bojan is good for nothing but shooting and he's not been that good at that
Clarkson not running away with 6th man with his recent play. A gunner that doesn't play within the system and plays little D
Favors getting roasted nightly for 10 million a year
COTM in way over his head

I love how Xiao thinks it’s more egregious to say Favors is a great backup than saying Toody is the better center in the league.

Deepest team in the league and it's not close

Their 6th man can drop 40 on one of the best defensive teams in the league

He won't even admit that AD is better than Gobert let alone Jokic & Embiid :lol

And the "best center in the NBA" went 2-10 from the free throw line in a loss to the Wizards

Your point?

I’m not sure he could even admit LeBron is better than Rudy at this point. He’s psychotically devoted to Rudy.

Oh he’s definitely better than Favors. But the post called him the best center in the league and you apparently thought there was nothing wrong with that.

You literally voted Gobert in a thread of who's better between Embiid and Rudy :lol

Plus you don't seem to deny him being the best big in the NBA

Reading your posts generally gives one the impression you think he’s the best center in the NBA. If you don’t, feel free to tell us who you think is better.

As you know I've said many times I'd rather have the guy that plays than the China doll. Good luck counting on Embiid to even be on the floor when you need him most

Manny,

He literally refuses to name a single center he thinks is better than Gobert and he expects us to think he doesn’t think Gobert is the best center.

The question in the poll was who was better, not who you’d “rather have”. You still voted for Rudy.

I think he genuinely believes that Rudy is Tim Duncan level as a center because everytime I ask him if he's better than Jokic & Embiid he completely avoids the question
He won't even admit that Shaq is better than Rudy

I mean yeah it’s obvious he thinks Rudy is that level by this point. He can deny it all he want, but the posts are there to be seen. I don’t think he gets that both me and you and everyone else think Rudy is a great player, we just don’t think he’s all-time or anything.
