Is this only Gobert’s absence? Or something more?

Wolves never seemed to be in this game. And the Sixers were in a slump, and were missing Embiid.

Minnesota goes from a top 3 defense to a bottom 5 defense without Gobert on the floor

Like or hate Gobert he’s flawed offensively but he’s an amazing regular season defensive anchor, legit gives you 10 good wins just by his rim protection

He’s one of the best floor raisers in recent NBA history due to his defense, he just alters so many shots that makes a team so much better, playoffs it’s a bit different with schemes and needing to switch more but regular season he’s just so much value

He’s the whole system defensively

People don’t want to admit it, but Rudy impacts both ends of the floor so much.

Wolves looked lost without him…

CantTrussWypipo | Thunder

meh they’ve had several worse losses with Gobert this season

losing to Clippers without Zubac/Harden, losing to Pelicans, losing to Grizzlies (twice), losing to Jazz, losing to Nets

romanticynicist | 76ers

I’m sure missing Rudy didn’t help the defense, but the Sixers also shot 57% from 3, and a lot of those were actually pretty contested (VJ made some especially bonkers ones).

The Wolves also turned the ball over a ton, which doesn’t really seem like a “missing Rudy” issue.

Think a large part of this blowout can just be chalked up to One of Those Nights on As the NBA Turns.

Minnesota been very bad without gobert this year

And no PG. And a B2B.

Go figure.

Naz is the most consistent bench scorer too. The other guys are capable of putting up numbers any given night but Naz getting 15-20 off the bench regularly is a huge help.

I hate this team. We have a series of embarrassing losses including yesterday against the corpse of Deandre Jordan but somehow blow out the 5 seed Wolves.

Minnesota’s offense AND defense are worse without gobert. its fucking crazy

WildcaRD7 | Timberwolves

17 | 12 hours ago

Gobert sucks with the ball in his hands, but he actually consistently makes the offense better because of his ability to screen, be a lob threat (even if we suck at passing), and offensive rebound. He’s had incredible team offensive numbers especially on the Jazz. It doesn’t translate to the playoffs that well, but you could make an argument that he is our most valuable player.

Huntermainlol | Timberwolves

20 | 13 hours ago

No Rudy and the sixers shooting something roughly close to 1000000% percent from 3 will do that to you

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

3 point variance really does decide 90% of games these days and it’s fun when it’s your team but ruins the night if it’s the other team.

Gimme some beer league softball rules where only 15 a game count or some shit and anything more are just 2 points. Beer leagues stop counting home runs…only get so many.

Maxey is on a whole other level man. That 2020 class can be an all time top heavy class if Ant, Maxey, Hali, & Melo continue evolving— with those last 2 avoiding the injury bug.

All 4 are exciting and unique in their own ways, need them all to be as relevant as possible. Love draft class H2Hs. Need more.

Julius Randle is my least favorite Wolves player of all-time.

Rudy and Naz hide so many of his deficiencies it’s not even funny

For the life of me i can’t understand what went wrong except for all of our playable centers and power forwards either being out or were immediately in foul trouble

So what about VJ Edgecombe made him ready to be a star player even at the NBA level from the first game of his first season? Was it his background of struggle where basically basketball was what he had, so even as a kid he was going all-in on developing a future NBA game?

DarkoDragicevic

Rudy Gobert so elite floor raiser and rim presence. Maxey and Edgecombe already played many minutes together in Sixers backcourt of future

HarryPauler | Timberwolves

3 | 13 hours ago

Incredibly embarrassing, even without Rudy and Naz. It shouldn’t have gotten this far out of hand. And this is the time of year where it really does start to matter.Play like this, they’ll probably be a play in team.

Wolves has worse defense than Kings without Gobert

axnjxn00 | Magic

Jaden McDaniels. I thought he was a good defensive player

Peugeot905 | Magic

6 | 12 hours ago

McDaniels from what I’ve seen is very matchup dependant on how well he plays defense. But the timberwolves are heavily dependant on Rudy Gobert. Gobert makes alot players look better defensively than they are.

Starting to think this team might just never mature. The fucking focus and effort issues are just not getting any better.

Not going to lie Wolves fan spread their propaganda of Ant’s defense being top tier but part of being a top tier defense is putting effort every game. Ant is nowhere near that. Nice try, Wolves fan.

Ant was the least of the Wolves problems today.
