Wolves bench center Naz Reid outperforms Toody

[QUOTE=JohnMax;14747584]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.[/QUOTE]



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!

Reid's 23 points just helped the wolves get past over the warriors. :applause:

Great team effort on the road. Here they come just in time!

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:
