His durability at his size is really incredible. He doesnt believe in load managing. He plays 70+ games every year at 33 minutes a game.

Haven’t put too much thought into this, but I do wonder if he and Harden might be more appreciated later, in that they were consistently good-to-great for a long time, didn’t win a ring, and unfortunately had some playoff lowlights that current fans think of first.

I just got preemptively upset

There are far fewer assists in a game than rebounds, so it makes sense

Average team this season gets 44 rebounds/game

Average team this season gets 27 assists/game

I don’t think a single person on earth expected him to catch that ball, himself included. That one was wild.

That slo-mo pass to Gobert for a layup was ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

??? COVID-19 was not theater, millions upon millions of people died from it.

Will never forget when my brother had colon failure in summer 2021 going into one of the best hospitals in America and my family was the only one visiting without someone in the critical care area with someone dying from COVID-19. I saw so many hung upside down to get it out them, so many long routines nurses and doctors had to go into those rooms, and seeing corpses taken out while my brother’s room was treated very normally after he got most of his colon and over 2 feet of intestines removed with 4 breathing tubes put down his throat.

I don’t think I will ever forget the image of that woman about my same age being hung upside down by some Doctor Octopus-like claws to get gunk out of their lungs. That crap looked like torture, and them and some 90 year old dude who was vaccinated were the only people I saw get discharged while alive after a few weeks.

Rudy Gobert exposed numerous people to COVID by treating it as a joke. While none of that was fatal to anyone, it was not smart then and definitely not smart now, nor was underplaying what COVID did.

I mean most of him giving anyone covid was just him being in the room with them. It has a pretty big range on it and is mostly transmitted through the air so they were already getting his Covid germs on them, but touching the mics certainly didn’t help transmission and only made it more likely. I don’t think it’s nearly as big of a deal as some people considering how early it was into the pandemic where the fear/respect for Covid hadn’t mounted as much yet but he deserved to be clowned a bit for his flippant response only to be the first nba player to get it.

I definitely have

Yep

I think the Wolves are capped at a ceiling of WCF pending a good 2nd round matchup.

Unless Ayo, Naz and Bones are all cooking at the same time, and despite how well he played lost post season, I dont think Randle is a good enough number 2 to push deeper.

Would absolutely love to be proven wrong though. A Rudy + Ingles + Conley ring would be beautiful.

I want Gobert to get a ring to shut the crowd up.

I want Conley/Jingles to get a ring because everyone loves them.

Doubt that happens

I don’t know a lot of 4x DPOY, 4x all-NBA career role players. Braindead take. Gobert is an easy HOF lock even if the NBA HOF wasn’t a joke.

Accolades wise Gobert is the best defensive center or even player OAT. Obviously in reality he’s closer to top 5ish (at least imo and I love Rudy) but if this sub truly values defense as much as they preach he’d be a 1st ballot HOF. Especially when he was in Utah his rim protection was generational and it’s overstated particularly in his prime that he’s easy to expose on the perimeter. He’s one of the better centers on the perimeter in the league defensively which isnt lockdown D or anything but it’s not tragic like some people say.

Rudy isn’t maxed

Single double lmao

I know I am!
