Give Rudy his 5th DPOY you cowards

IceTruckHouse | Timberwolves

51 | 2 days ago

He was so dominant on both ends. He did the Giannis dunk on Sarr and blocked him like 3 times.

Snaxier | Wizards

22 | 2 days ago

Sarr getting humbled after a dominant season-to-date will hopefully give him a kick to keep getting better. Gobert did have his best game I’ve seen in a while but damn it was rough from the start of the game seeing Sarr post up on him and get evaporated every time.

IceTruckHouse | Timberwolves

22 | 2 days ago

I won’t lie outside of the Brooklyn and Atlanta games Gobert has been playing possibly his best basketball of his time in Minnesota. Very locked in on defense.

I’ve only been box score watching and highlight watching but seems like Sarr has improved. The French connection probably added a little pep in Rudy’s step too.

Couragesand | Jazz

Wouldn’t doubt him trying to mentor Sarr too

Chessh2036 | Hawks

Watching Snyder without Rudy made me realize he’s just a Rudy merchant. Without Rudy his entire system just falls flat.

Ant might be our best player, but Rudy might be our most important this year. He’s simply just been incredible.

They’ve been a great 1-2

Milly-the-Kid | Timberwolves

37 | 2 days ago

Yes but the biggest highlight he’s been in this year was Bam scoring on him last night so there’s legit a huge amount of NBA casuals that not only think he’s overrated, but think he is an outright bad player that shouldn’t get played at all

GaimeGuy | Timberwolves

23 | 2 days ago

What’s really ridiculous is when he gets pulled out to the perimeter to contest a 3 ptr and people think he’s bad because someone makes it.

Milly-the-Kid | Timberwolves

23 | 2 days ago

Any defender who gets a 3 scored on them by a good shooter is obviously terrible. I am a very smart person

wise_comment | Timberwolves

5 | 2 days ago

Luka owns him and does better against Rudy than others because of 1 highlight from 2 years ago

Milly-the-Kid | Timberwolves

10 | 2 days ago

Please ignore the fact that stats show Rudy defended Luka well in last year so playoffs, it hurts my narrative

Haters will still think his lowlights dont reflect that

tys90

6 | 2 days ago

He’s been amazing, and unlike most of the rest of the team, extremely consistent. He’s only had a handful of off nights all year. I get he’s not asked to score but his defense and rebounding require a high level of effort every single night and he brings it.

Thank you Wizards. That was the first field goal of Joe Ingles this season, it was beautiful. May Silver bless you with AJ, Peterson, Boozer, or a first overall pick the good people of the DMV deserve.

I see a lot of comments praising him as the best American player with Tatum out. He has a higher ceiling than Tatum too

HypeeMe_Up

24 | 2 days ago

Lol he is above Luka. Have you seen his game today? That’s ethical basketball for ya mate.

wise_comment | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Ethics are one thing

Effective production on the court is another

Luka can average more points, we just won’t talk about how……

But also, only one of them play serviceable defense, and has the skill set to make an all defensive team (yes, I’m biased AF, but locked in Ant is a terrorist, in the best way)

Mathema_tika | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Ant is 63% TS, that’s absolutely stellar efficiency. And TS% is impacted heavily by FTM, unlike eFG, in which Ant completely clears Luka. In fact Luka’s outside shooting has taken a major hit this season (32%, 4% below league average!) while Ant is elite at 40% 8-3PA, not to mention a great midrange and drive. Imo eFG is way more important come playoff time, and the season Luka was insane in the playoffs was when he was so an eFG monster.

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

You’d think that would’ve changed after the Thunder and Nuggets games but nah lol

Consensus top 5-6 player in the league yet is in 2nd team All NBA conversations like cmon man

nhthelegend | Timberwolves

6 | 2 days ago

A lot of people saying he’s first team material this year

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

6 | 2 days ago

As he absolutely should

EightFortyDaysOf

4 | 2 days ago

The small market tax. Happens with Giannis too, they leave him out of the conversations of the best so often when he’s absolutely on the level of SGA/Jokic

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Minneapolis is a way larger market than OKC & Milwaukee though. Wolves are a medium sized market (around the same as Denver’s) while the Thunder & Bucks are small markets so Idk it’s confusing, it makes sense for Giannis but doesn’t make since in SGA’s case imo

Astemius

2 | 2 days ago

I have been watching the NBA for only 3 years and it’s thanks to that guy (stumbled upon some of his highlights on youtube). Now that I know more about the game and have been watching it extensively, he’s still among my favorite players to watch. Kyrie is probably my number 1 now, but Ant is close 2. And… Ja Morant. Makes me wonder if you need to be dumb IRL to be so fucking beautiful to watch on a basketball court.

Salty_Minnesota | Timberwolves

Rob Dillingham might just be done here, yall. Woof.

Milly-the-Kid | Timberwolves

26 | 2 days ago

He is cooked. Needs a fresh start somewhere else

dys0n_giddey | Timberwolves

11 | 2 days ago

Maybe even the Wizards

LeeShakerMoneyMaker | Timberwolves

2 | 2 days ago

That’s actually not a bad spot for him tbh. He needs reps and minutes and he’s clearly not getting it here. In Washington he’ll finally have a chance to just play while we can grab a player that can help us win now like a big like Marvin Bagley or something.

kcoe24 | Timberwolves

7 | 2 days ago

China? Cause not sure what teams want a small guard who can’t shoot defend finish at the rim or even fast enough to get by defenders.

I mean who’s idea is it to draft the lightest mf on that draft? It also causes them a pick ffs.

FishGoldenLite | Timberwolves

It’s sad - he can’t do anything right at the moment. I hope we trade him for his sake.

Radical-Six | Timberwolves

Bigger bust: Rob Dillingham or Ndudi “Locked Up LeBron in the McDonald’s All Star Game” Ebi?

nhthelegend | Timberwolves

9 | 2 days ago

Rob by a country mile. Ebi was the 26th pick, Rob was the 8th.

wise_comment | Timberwolves

1 | 2 days ago

But context matters

Ebi was the first pick after Glenn did way less bad shit than the Clippers, but wasnt an almost literal dragon, so we didn’t have picks for years. His bust was a final nail in the coffin, making us throw in with Spree and Cassell, which wasn’t bad……for a year. But closer to jimmy butler than Mike Conley energy on the shitting the bed scale

car1999pet | Supersonics

Seeing Joe Ingles garbage time is so funny to me, just an old man looking like he’s playing against children. 8:27 almost feels like elder abuse though /s

la-blakers | Timberwolves

27 | 2 days ago

I honestly think it’s a great idea to have one veteran set the tone and optimize garbage time for 4 young players who need experience instead of letting 5 young players run wild

Chidi_Ariana_Grande | Timberwolves

35 | 2 days ago

It’s a good idea but we’re actually developing him for his second prime

Look at it this way, this is Bones 3rd stop in the NBA.. Rob has plenty of time to figure it out

Aftermathe | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Bones’s issues were always consistency/work ethic though, right? Dillingham’s issue is that he doesn’t have a single NBA level skill.

Like Bones has always been able to kind of get a bucket. Dillingham might be the least impactful player I’ve seen in the last several years.

Bones is almost at 60%TS. Rob is at 42.
