They scored 110. Gobert isn't there for his scoring despite what you and Axe may think. Gobert has won a lot of games scoring 10 or less. The fact that they only lost by a basket when your starting guards have 13 TO is actually amazing. You'd have a hard time finding a game where a team won with 13 TO's from their starting guards. It's probably happened but has to be very rare

been playing well regardless. As I said all along they are a lot more talented than any Jazz team with Gobert. Jazz sucked without Gobert. Wolves won a home game against a struggling team without Gobert. That's taking care of business not thread worthy :facepalm

Buyer's Remorse
Rudy Gobert Center, Minnesota Timberwolves
Age 30, 10 Seasons
Height/Weight 7'1" / 245 lbs
Drafted No. 27 overall, 2013
pts 13.4 69.2 TS%
reb 11.8 21.2 REB%
blk 1.3 3.8 BLK%
stl 0.8 1.3 STL%

His contract is genuinely, unequivocally offensive. He famously cannot survive certain playoff matchups. His Minnesota impact is shakier than we ever imagined. And yet, they stupidly gave up EVERYTHING for him. It’s already one of the 21st century’s worst sports trades. How could they trade him now? It’s like watching a buddy splurge on a fancy pool table that doesn’t quite fit the room and will immediately lose 76 percent of its value, plus nobody will ever use it, only nobody can figure out how to sell it online. “Hey, anyone want to come over and play pool tonight?” Nope. No thank you.

And what did that get them? A couple early exits amazing.

it got them a couple playoff upsets. They were a lottery team without him. Imagine him now with an all star PF instead of a 6'4 PF, a coach that makes adjustments, guys that play hard at both ends and share the ball(excluding the bum)...

too bad the game is played at two ends. They were a bad defensive and rebounding team. If they thought any big could do it they wouldn't have traded for Gobert

[JohnMax]

Sometimes it takes a full season for a team to accept their alpha male leader. Look how Wade and Davis challenged Lebron for best player status in year 1 but backed down by year 2.

It'll be same with Rudy. They'll accept him as best player on team next season and he'll go back to playing DPOY level defense. Rudy haters will go back to crying after he leads his team to 50+ wins and gets another DPOY trophy.

Getting Conley for the cancer was the first step. Getting everyone healthy is next. Conley and Towns had chemistry instantly. Like playing with Gasol again at the offensive end. Towns had the best chemistry with Gobert early too and we already know what him and Mike are together

[JohnMax]

These Rudy haters have no shame. They'll hype dudes who couldn't even stick in NBA (Hassan Whiteside is currently playing in Puerto Rico), a rookie Center on Utah Jazz, and another scrub who only got a lot of playing time because Towns missed most of season with calf injury.

Why would you assume a hater would see something they have already seen three or four times and react to it with dismay?

Do you think somebody who hates DeMar DeRozan would be upset if he’s on another 50 win team that fizzles out when it counts or would they add it to the list of reasons to mock him?

In the world we have people who have won championships are called losers for not winning more. Not a single Rudy Gobert detractor is going to give a shit if his team with a likely 3 all star caliber players plus Conley wins a few games then loses. Which they likely will.

Hes unlikely to have a “What say you now?” moment big enough to silence anyone. Best case Ant takes another leap and has such a moment Rudy will be perceived to be part of the supporting cast for. And that would have to happen pretty soon too.

Maybe they could like…upset Denver or Memphis or something else that nobody will even remember seeing happen in a few years?

Therr isn’t much realistic they could do to make Rudy haters eat any kinda crow. Team isn’t setup for him to get the credit if they did. The league rigged itself for guys like Ant and KAT. They make a wcf with Ant giving someone 38 a game in the second round Rudy isn’t getting the credit for it. Not that a wcf would be enough winning to silence anyone either.
