Toody: "I'll have my usual." Jokic: "60 burger, comin right up!"

[Neal Romer]

It's Donovan Mitchell's fault

[fourkicks44]

Whats worse letting Jokic drop 50 on you or letting Toody drop 19 on you?

Good question. 19 points on 11 shots or 54 on 24 shots.

What are each player's assist numbers?

[Proctor]

Poetic that the "DPOY" fouled out trying to contain Jokic but failed miserably again. Some things never change :facepalm

Nuggets caught a bad break with Toody fouling out of the game right before the overtime. That could end up swinging things in the Wolves favor.

60 burger

[Proctor]

Westbrook has THE single worst blunders of any player in NBA history considering they are always at the very worst imaginable time. Not once, not twice, but over and over and over again through the years. Great player, love to watch him, but lol.

Edit: Lol, I didn't even realize he was the one who fouled Alexander-Walker as well. :roll:

[Axe]

Joker trying so hard not to lose this game. :oldlol:

[Xiao Yao You]

Who won this game? You would think it was the nuggets by reading the thread. Gobert continues to be jokic toughest opponent. :roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

Gobert now 26-19 vs jokic including the last 6. Kind of like chmaberlain vs russell :bowdown:

60 burger, a side of French fries with catsup, and a liter of cola.

[tpols]

Rudy did get the win though. All he does is win. The ultimate trump card to Jokic... constantly vanquishing him with ease. Gobert is a modern day Bill Russell I guess.

And my 6th straight loss :biggums:

Rudy vs jokic
128 126. Ortg
103. 108. Drtg

Playoffs only

129. 124. Ortg

:cheers:

Let's just ignore that Denver was missing two starters. :facepalm

Wolves without two key players including goberts backup. On the road a mile high...

Identical 148 ortg 122 drtg for jokic gobert last nite. Maybe jokic will bear him again someday? :lol

[Xiao Yao You]

Where was garza when you need him?

[SouBeachTalents]

Let's see Xiao keep this same energy of team results when comparing Gobert's record with Mitchell's.

Gobert was in the conference finals last year in the tough conference. There is no comparison to make. They made a huge trade jyst before the season. Peaking right now while the cavs limp into the playoffs in a wrak cinference. Have fun spinning it however you want trolls :lol

[k0kakw0rld]

In a loss

[tpols]

It is funny how the trolls try to make Xiao eat crow and then westbrick came in, ruined an almost certain dub, and Rudy Gobert was blessed with yet another win. And another backfire for the trolls.

[FKAri]

Who won this game? You would think it was the nuggets by reading the thread. Gobert continues to be jokic toughest opponent. :roll:

Gobert's D on Jokic has always been awful. Gobert's a great rim protector and he's good but not great in space. He's just not an on-ball guy and in today's NBA it's not a priority at his position.

[Xiao Yao You]

In a loss


Lets not facts taint the trolling :facepalm

And yet the facts tell a different story entirely as ive proven time and time again. Maybe jokic will beat a gobert team again someday? Maybe the trolls will be right once? :coleman:

[Wally450]

Empty stats

Who won 3 mvp's, a championship and a finals mvp? You would think it was Rudy by reading the thread. Lets hope Rudy can make it beyond the play-in :roll:

You’re basically comparing an Elmore Smith to Kareem. These two are so far apart historically the only acknowledgment of them existing at the same time in the future will be Rudy having his name in fine print at the bottom of a page as the otherwise nameless guy Jokić is scoring over in stock photos.

There will never be any comparison between the two as far as who is the winner and loser of games they both happen to be playing in because people get compared to rivals. Nobody tracks or cares about how many games Alvin Robertson won against Michael Jordan‘s teams because they’re too far apart for it to be relevant.

Nobody is looking up Larry birds Career head to head record against Bobby Jones. Bobby is one of the greatest defenders of all time. A five time All-Star and I believe a 10 or 11 time All D teamer. He guarded bird plenty and his team’s eliminated birds from the playoffs 2-3 times. In one of them, he out scored bird while shooting 80% to Larry’s 5/19 in an elimination game.

but you don’t compare Larry Bird to Bobby Jones.

You might talk about it while it’s going on as a simple acknowledgment of the game in front of you, but historically those players are so far apart they don’t even exist in the same chapters of books.

And thing is there might actually be a greater difference between Jokić and Rudy than the one between bird and prime Bobby Jones.

These kind of topics are just jokes for a moment. These two players are far too different in ability to even get comparisons in the future. Rudy is Going to completely cease to exist in history.

This guy is Zelmo Beaty. I know who that is Because I’m a weirdo. Normal fans don’t.

That’s the future of this comparison. You’re a Zelmo Beaty fan talking about how he had 35 and won a game against Wilt.

And he did. And he had a great career.

Hes even in the hall of fame.

but a clone of him could knock on your front door wearing his jersey and you wouldn’t know who the **** that is.

That’s Rudy Gobert if he’s lucky.

Zelmo Beaty Doesn’t have a single person you’ve ever met talking about his winning percentage versus wilt or what he did against Bill Russell. Those people matter. You have to matter to get a comparison to people of that caliber.

Somebody one day will bring up what Jokić and Embiid did against each other. You might hear Rudy Gobert’s name spoken out loud 10 times in your life after the day he retires and seven of them will be announcing he was one of the finalist who didn’t get voted into the Hall of Fame that year.

The Rudy and Jokic comparison is just for jokes. It’s not serious subject matter.

We could compare him to backuos like clint capela and deandre jordan or stiffs like whiteside, monroe and harza too. I didnt start the ridiculous thread. I brought actually facts to it. Denver lost. Who cares how many points he put up on a team without their backup center? They have lost 6 straight. So you can say rudy sucks or denver sucks or whatever you want to. Facts are facts

None that I can think of, shit is even more embarrassing than when Luka put him on skates and drilled a GW in his face in the playoffs last year.

I'm too lazy to look back but I'm sure shaq put up monster numbers against 76'ers Tumbo, but I doubt it was as high as 60

To be fair the game ended in the 140s.

60 point games aren't what they used to be.

Yeah, it was a double OT game, and actually Toods fouled out before the start of OT. I think Jokic had like 54 by the time Rudy was out.

Still, it's hilarious that Xiao counts that as a successful defensive effort for Toody simply because Westbrook did a Westbrook and the Wolves won the game.

Rudy had nothing to do with Westbrook's boneheaded plays. Rudy gave up 50+ to his man and got bailed out by his team in overtime without him on the floor.

I guess if youre Xiao and youre stanning this guy you take whatever victories you can tho.

He started to pull out secondary and tertiary stats to prove his point. Anyone with a brain can admit someone dropping 61/10/10 with efficiency over 50% is not being stopped.

The wolves gave up that many. They had no backup center. Wolves won as they have 6 straight. Jokic yet to win while scoring 50. Pretty sure the wolves havent lost giving up 60 but i may be wrong? Facts matter.

They had the exact same ofrtg and dftg so who stopped gobert? Who did jokic stop?

[Xiao Yao You]

Similar to those great games by mitchell when he was giving up as many at the other end and they lost

Chamberlain had 62 against Russell once in 1962.

There haven’t been that many 60 point games by big men.

Only four bigs have 60 point games. Wilt had 32 of them. Embiid,Shaq and Joker each have one. Embiid’s was against Wemby, which is I guess a defensive big, though a rookie.

Wilts 32 are out of a total of 90 by all players.

Facts matter but out of a million facts you seem to only choose the ones which benefit your argument. Rudy gets disrespected a lot so you always get defensive. But in this case the criticism is justified.

David Robinson had a 71 point game in the last game of the regular season in 1995, IIRC.

Gets disrespected by trolls. They won they game! What is the justification? They had the same drtg and ortg. Yet to see how many jokic had with gobert actually guarding him. Simmons supposedly had 40 something on gobert but was actually 3-7 with gobert guarding him. Pesky facts getting in the way as always

Oops, I missed that. Also Mikan had one. So that’s six bigs, of whom five did it once.
