Kyrie turned the 4 seed into the 12 seed in less than 2 months next to Luka who was in the WCFs last year. :roll: all-time cancer.


Also, if they beat OKC they're in the playoffs. Imagine not knowing that.

Jon Krawczynski: Chris Finch said Rudy Gobert is still going through some things with the back spasms. Status uncertain for tomorrow but they hope he can go (https://*********.com/social/).

Toody would be pretty important in a game vs OKC. They drive to the rim far more than any team in the NBA. They will feast if Toody can't play.

every team feasts without him in the paint. That's why they try to draw him out of it

Christopher Hine: Rudy Gobert said his back spasms would have kept him out of Tuesday’s game if he wasn’t suspended. He’ll see how he feels for tomorrow night (https://*********.com/social/).

Dane Moore: Asked if he wasn’t suspended if he would have played in LA, due to the back spasms, Rudy Gobert said, “probably not” Asked if he would play if the game was tonight, Gobert said: “I would try. I would warmup and see how it goes, but I wouldn’t be able to move like I would like to” (https://*********.com/social/)

Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert said, “it was tough” to be home watching the Lakers game. “We had a great game. Maybe one shot, one rebound, one play away from winning that game. It’s always hard for me as a competitor to watch and not be able to contribute.” (https://*********.com/social/)

Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert when asked if the officiating is different in the playoffs: “Yeah, they let go a little bit more contact. When it comes to myself, they let it go during the regular season, too.” (https://*********.com/social/) He did say the second sentence with a smile on his face.

Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert on the impact the scuffle with he and Kyle Anderson had on their relationship: “I still love Kyle. He’s still my brother. I tell people, sometimes you fight with your family. Sometimes you fight with people that you have a lot of love and respect for. It’s life.” (https://*********.com/social/)

Anything to help Lebron.

The Timberwolves suspended him you retard, not the NBA.

the Jazz appear to big the big winners especially if the Wolves lose again tonite

[Xiao Yao You]

As disappointed as the Wolves were in Gobert’s act, there was some concern as they debated how to handle it that Rudy Gobert would be viewed as the lone culprit in the confrontation, team sources told The Athletic. When they looked at the situation in full, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, they knew Gobert had to be disciplined for his behavior. But there were also conversations behind the scenes about Anderson’s conduct toward a teammate who was trying to play through debilitating back spasms. Ultimately, Kyle Anderson was not punished. But there have been numerous conversations with him about the situation. Finch said he considered the case closed and felt confident the team was locked in on beating the Thunder (https://theathletic.com/4405013/2023/04/14/rudy-gobert-suspension-injury-timberwolves-thunder-play-in/?source=nbatw).

Mitchell gearing up to play this weekend whilst the French bum is in danger of missing the playoffs in his first season without Mitchell.

Goes to show who really was carrying Utah

If Minnesota lose tonight we can officially say this is one of the worst trades in league history

none of that has anything to do with Utah. Are you really that stupid troll? Gobert was carrying the Jazz when Mitchell was in high school :facepalm

[Manny98]

Yes it does, Rudy is just an above average role player who benefited heavily from playing alongside Mitchell in Snyder's system

Before Mitchell, it was Haywards team

and yet they'd lost 8 straight with Hayward leading a tanking team before Rudy made them the 6th best team in the league after he became the starter. Funny how that happened :facepalm

And they beat the Clippers without Rudy playing for 3/4 wins. Goes to show his impact

Mitchell going 7-3 without him last year

Wolves going 8-3 without him this year

[Xiao Yao You]

Mitchell's rookie year they were closer to the top pick in the draft than the playoffs when Gobert came back from injury and carried them to the 5th seed and yet another playoff upset.

Now Mitchell has Gobert light plus Mobley which Gobert never had. Not sure how that has anything to do with Mitchell's failures in Utah?

Gobert missed one game. That was the best Jazz team Gobert played with despite their major flaws. Back to that 10 game stretch! :roll:

[Manny98]

Allen is better than Gobert this year

Mitchell did all he could for Utah, will be remembered as the third best player to ever put on a Jazz jersey

Stockton, Malone, Gobert, Dantley, Williams, Maravich and than you can pick whatever bum you want. Be hard to argue anyone other than those ones logically though

[Xiao Yao You]

https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/UTA/

basketball reference doesn't have Mitchell or the legendary Boozer in their top 12 in Utah history

[Xiao Yao You]

Mitchell ranks 8th in offensive Box +/-

2nd in usage to the Drugslinger himself John Drew(The Bum only 6th surprisingly! Which I'd say is explained by playing next to Mitchell)

That's it as far as the advanced stats go. Good luck arguing him him as 3rd ahead of HOFers and all NBAers :facepalm

[Xiao Yao You]

Just in case you were wondering Gobert 5th in VORP

5th Defensive Box +/-
5th in Box +/-
1st in Win shares per 48 ahead of the statues
2nd in offensive rating
5th in block %
1st in total rebound % ahead of legendary Boozer
1st in defesnive rebound % ahead of Boozer
2nd in offensive rebound % behind Enes Freedom
1st in EFG% and it's not close
1st in True shooting % ahead of HOFer AD
3rd in player efficiency behind a statue and HOFer
1st in FG% and again not even close

:bowdown:

he scored a lot of points though so settle down!

Gobert missing the playoffs whilst Mitchell leading his team to the best net rating in the league proves everything I have said regarding Mitchell and Rudy and he's having a mental breakdown because of it :oldlol:

they're on different teams. Not sure how it proves anything other than Mitchell is on a better team than he was in Utah. We know Mitchell and Gobert weren't a great fit. Mitchell doesn't pass, doesn't defend and can't play pick and roll. Jazz would have been one of the top teams in the league if they had kept Gobert.

Poor Xiao been reduced to ifs and would haves

Facts are that Mitchell is winning with his new team whilst Gobert can't make the playoffs with his new team

Edwards and Towns are better than anyone on the current Cavs so he has a better team yet still losing :facepalm

there's a game tonite for the playoffs troll. Towns has been out all year and Ant is still young. And again none of that has anything to do with what happened in Utah with different players, coach front office etc. What ifs and would haves? Like your 7 game sample size over my 7 year sample size? :roll:

[Manny98]

Cavs are one of the youngest teams in the league stop with the excuses

If the Wolves lose tonight it would be a awful look for the French bum considering the Timberwolves had championship aspirations when they traded for him

A few days ago it was a team game now we're back on it's all Gobert's fault. Try to be consistent with your trolling at least
