Jokic’s stats against the Wolves is a top simplistic approach to determine if Rudy is a good defender. You are going to have to look at the Nuggies overall shooting percentage around the rim, offensive rating, rebounding, and etc. The Wolves play great team defense and it starts with Rudy anchoring the paint. This is the first time Rudy has complimentary defensive players that elevate the team as a whole. Donovan was not playing defense in Utah. Jordan Clarkson? Bojan. lol it’s not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not giving Gobert DPOTY during the bubble season was truly a missed opportunity by every stretch of the word, imo... Shut down Joker? This man shut the league down that year!

Destino Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 You guys feel much more highly about Gobert than I do. I think he’s wildly overpaid and in close fought contests, a liability to have in the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy still has a lot limitations on offense but the proof is there that he is a defensive difference maker. I was all on the Donovan bandwagon and blamed Rudy too but I was wrong. In a vacuum Donovan is a much better player but he does way less for you than Rudy. It didn’t click last year, but all the Wolves players and coaches say that it was because they didn’t have enough time to gel with Rudy. They were still getting used to play with him and vice versa. Normally, I would call BS but they flipped it around in the regular season and had a tremendous season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 @Dr. Do Itch Big how much you wanna bet Ham is talking about DRuss? 😆 Idk, start someone else? 🤷♂️ He gonner then gone, James opt out is inevitable. Nuke it from orbit, only thing I'll give credit to Lakers for this fiasco is standing their ground not to mortgage their future anymore then they did standing up to LeBron. Coulda been in Phoenix shoes trying to make him happy, still get nowhere, and he still opt out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nba/article-13368145/la-mayor-deletes-tweet-lakers-loss-playoffs.html Quote LA Mayor Karen Bass embarrassingly retracted her tweet after the Lakers' first-round exit in the NBA playoffs. After the 106-108 loss that saw the Purple and Gold on the receiving end of a gentleman's sweep against the Denver Nuggets, Bass took to Twitter with an enthusiastic tone toward their season. 'Tough season, but at least we won the in season tournament,' Bass said. 'Proud of our team @lakers.' I hope the Lakers double down and bring LeBron and the rest of the crew back. And I hope they hire another bum-ass coach with LeBron's blessing so he can run another one out of town before he retires. Not sure which is more damaging for his legacy, getting bounced this early in the playoffs or opt out and wind up with the Timberwolves or the Suns or somewhere else. Remember Shaq bouncing around from Phoenix to the Cavs to the Celtics? That's about to be LeBron. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Lebrons legacy is set. He can only add to it. also, Shaq was not averaging 26 7 and 8 at 39. He was coming off the bench for the Celtics averaging 10 ppg. Completely different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have an opinion about his $ worth since I don't watch him much. I never was a fan of him since his stupid covid outburst and hitting a teammate. There is a big gap between its impact on the court and the basketball fans perception imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Josh Harris smart to buy tickets and give them to first responders so Knicks fans don't take over Philly again That said 1) seeing Knicks fans take over Philly chating "**** Embiid" and "Knicks in 5" was hilarious 2) sadly as much as it would work in a smaller venue it would not work with the Commanders in a 60k stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're letting NY fans invade their home court in a PLAYOFF game? What a bunch of clowns. Diehard fans my butt.
