Toody: 6 points on 2/5 and held to a measly 6 rebounds by the Hobbit Lakers

[RRR3]

The advanced stats tell the story a lot better. Only conley had a better rebound % on wolves. Lakers put a lot of bodies on him. He took up space and they had to deal with him. They kept him off the offensive glass which was obviously the game plan. Imagine having to game plan for a stiff because he is such a factor! 24.5%def reb%. He did his job there. Had the 2nd best ofrtg and 2nd best drtg as they shut down the high powered lakers while commiting 1 foul as his teammates hacked the lakers all night. 2nd in bpm. 0 turnovers

[Xiao Yao You]

Facts and trolls dont mix. A lot of teasons the wolves lost. Gobert certainly not the main reason unless you are a troll :roll:

Posts trash stats, team loses, but some advanced bullshit stats show he had some miniscule impact in what? A loss, a loss where he had just as much rebounds as his pg and sg, but def rrb% though.

Accept the reality. Gobert, aside from a niché, is trash and useless. He doesn't lead shit and is a bad basketball player skillwise who happens to have the right body for this sport.

Who doesnt have the right body for the sport. If i was 6' 5 i might have played in the league. Hes headed to the hof as the best defender pf his generation. Many 7 footers cant make the league let alone have the decade plus he has. The league is trash if he is :facepalm

We can argue the best analytics all day, but put that aside Rudy has been one of the most overrated players per NBA player polls for quite some time (he ranked 2nd this year according to meticode's thread). Guys who actually ball professionally have the same sentiment a lot of the raw analytics show.

[ImKobe]

Points-wise the Wolves didn't pass him the ball in the paint at all when Lebron or someone else would help off him and he had a clean look at the rim, but he also did a terrible job on the glass not going for put-backs and he has terrible hands, he fumbled a number of rebounds on his own/allowed guys to slap the ball out of his hands. Maybe some of it is just him being exhausted with the Lakers targeting him all game because he did show a lot of effort trying to stop Luka/Bron/Reaves whenever they attacked him but didn't show the same kind of effort on the glass.

The raw antalytics sgiw gis one of the most inpactful players in the keague for over a decade. Obviously es highly undereated if anything

[Real Men Wear Green]

For the sake of debate on this forum and no other reason Minnesota should run 30 deep post plays for Gobert so that we can all see what happens. The betting line would be 22 points. The losing side never gets to talk about him again.

Wont quit me

[Manny98]

Mitchell's fault!

[Xiao Yao You]

Cant quit me either

Poor manny

[tpols]

Game 2 felt like a throw away game for the wolves being that they handled game 1 so easily on the road. The only goal was a split so they went easy here.

Like they clipped yall hamstrings and then let you limp away a little bit... watching... while salivating.

The feast will resume in Minnesota. And the Frenchman Toots will be @ the head of the table fork and knife ready.

Bon Apetit bitches. :pimp:

Enough 7 footers who picked up basketball in their teens make it pro actually.

There's also a lot of differences between body types for tall people. It's not like you're 7 ft and automatically have the right proportions, posture, metabolism etc for basketball. Some people are built the right way, but just made of glass etc.

Rudy is not as talented at basketball from a technical perspective as most other players. Why is it that hard to accept? It doesn't make him a bad player. He has the right tools to have positive impact in the league nonetheless, but why are you so desperately trying to make him something he just isn't?

Not even Xiao would take that bet.

Ive accepted it and havent made him out to be something hes not. Why isnt mo bamba as impactful with even greater lengthh? Yes he has elite length but to say that is the only reason he is who he is ridiculous. I watched him as a rookie and never imagined hed be the best player ever for the jazz next to two other guys whose greatness i recognized immediately even if the jazz and the world didnt. Even through his 2nd summer league, training camp and the first couple of months of his 2nd season i didnt see what was coming. I thought he had earned the backup center spot but sometime in december suddenly one of the worst teams in the league were good when this lanky frenchmen was on the floor. He just kept getting better. He got there through hard work not just because he is tall. Hes been better than most of his contemperaries despite not being as talented. You can try to take that away because his impact happens in ways that dont involve scoring the basketball if you want. I can appreciate what he does. You can have demarcus cousins or whatever talented bum you choose. I will take the big guy everytime :cheers:

[Xiao Yao You]

Favors had elite length. #2 pick in draft. Nice career. Gobert zoomed past him by december 2014. Yeah its becaus of a few inches of length :roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

Whiteside had elite length snd depite what one troll thinks the fuy was a bum. He should have been better than gobert but like most he wasnt. Maybe hes learned spanish playing in puerto rico?

Now supposedly kessler is as good but for some strange reason despite the blocks and rebounding the jazz still suck around him and he has more talent than rudy did before 2016.

I clearly stated it's not only being 7ft tall. I genuinely do believe you have a hard time grasping what others try to tell you.

[warriorfan]

Ya so Rudy is better the Favors and Whiteside, and the guy who I’ve never heard mentioned here outside of xiou, Garza.

Damn, lowered expectations :lol


In all seriousness, Xiao if there was a NBA redraft and only the next season mattered…..How many players are there that you are picking over Gobert? (I’m pretty sure this question won’t get answered but here is a try :lol)

[warriorfan]

He’s a GOAT strawman user.

He always will bring up Garza for some reason when people talk about gigantic holes in Rudy’s game.

Who doesnt have giantvholes in their game. Luka was traded because of giant holes in his fame which were on full display in game 1. The problem is rudys holes are about scoring the basketball and to the simple minded who live for highlites and triple doubles its a bigger issue than not playing d, pr being an inefficient gunner or being a loser pr headcase etc

Dude, we just wanna know who youd take ahead of Gobert in a hypothetical draft

[SouBeachTalents]

He's not gonna answer it bro. He's going to dodge and filibuster and hope you just get tired of prodding him for a response. I remember he's done this before when being pressed on where he ranks Gobert currently. Let's see if he proves me wrong and actually gives a direct response to the question.

[Xiao Yao You]

Im taking young guys over an old guy. The fact that trolls need to ask such ridiculous things is beyond the pale

[SouBeachTalents]

See, he won't do it :lol Even when it's be outlined it's specifically for just next season, so age would make virtually zero difference.

Youre a ****ing troll.


Cant even answer a basic question on where youd rank Gobert, just so you wont be held accountable.
