Not having the same opinions as people on ISH is something to be proud of. When you're not rooting for 3rd stringers, guys in Puerto Rico and the great Carlos Boozer you hold your head high
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
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.
What a scrub send him to China! :facepalm

No one called him a scrub. Nice 3rd big/6th man. Not an all NBA/ all defensive/DPOTY

Nobody said that that he is, I said the Timberwolves offense flows better with him on the floor instead of Rudy (stats back it up) and you had an insecure meltdown about it

shouldn't he get some blame for the Hawks scoring over 120? How is this all on Gobert? Capela had 11

Great. Hopefully he'll help the Nets in their run for ping pong balls next year

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.

or the 8th seed upsets the 1 seed and he's vaulted into the history books like Carlos Boozer!

He also helped limit them to just below 100 points, at least. ;)

that would have been a painful game for you to watch I'm sure. Under 200 points

Maybe. But it's a less painful affair for me than you yourself watching certain teams win even after letting their opponents drop over 120 at the same time. :oldlol:
Reid almost won player of the week up there with with likes of Jokic and JJJ for his recent play:applause:

[QUOTE]The Timberwolves led just 101-99 with 7:02 remaining before making the key push of the game, getting two hoops and an assist from Mike Conley, two baskets from McDaniels, a layup and three assists from Rudy Gobert, a 3-pointer from Anthony Edwards and two assists from Kyle Anderson in a team effort that produced a 13-5 run that opened a 10-point lead at the 3:52 mark.
