McLovinsBro | Timberwolves

Gobert has always been heavily underrated because he basically puts up Tony Snell stat lines every night. (Besides boards) and nobody knows what good defense looks like half the time.

Dude was LOCKING SHIT DOWN tonight but if you look at the stats he looks like he literally slept walk out there. That was some of the best defense I’ve ever seen on Jokic, who’s generally too strong for anyone else to guard

BUT THE CLAMPS

Lykotic | Nuggets

21 | 5 hours ago

That was maybe the best Gobert game I have seen from him now, in fairness, I didn’t watch a ton of him in Utah nor in Minnesota (although more).

He played very, very well on defense and your small line-up made runs that allowed for a close 4th quarter and ultimate win.

Tony Brother in like a three minute time span. Called a foul on nothing on the Braun dunk, then said its a foul because Braun kicked Mcdaniels in the knee after a challenge, then gave Jokic an offensive foul for flopping, then stopped the game to review a three point shot that was a full foot behind the line. That was next level incompetence how does Adam Silver let this guy ruin the biggest games of the year.

mnsportsfan | Timberwolves

“Foot to knee contact”

I want to “boot to ass” contact (to quote Red Foreman) Tony Brothers for that carry job he tried in the 4th -

When your best two players (at least offensively- I have my own thoughts on Julius overall) are the opposite of floppers (watch ant and Randle go to the rim compared to other stars) and they play guys like Jamaal Murray, Jokic (which sucks cause he used to get a terrible whistle but not flop and seems to have flipped to the dark side) SGA, etc… he’s gotta advocate for some level of real basketball

Sarnaekato | NBA

21 | 5 hours ago

Finch is obviously not on their level, but two of the whiniest coaches about the refs in post game pressers were Pat Riley and Phil Jackson.

It’s morons on reddit that don’t realize he’s saying it directly to the refs, for the next playoff game. Its a tried and true tactic as a coach.

raymond_w | Lakers

It was Braun’s foot to McDaniel’s knee is the wild part. Why is that a foul anyways?

FunIsWinning | Thunder

Because Tony Brother is a prideful man, his calling was so dogshit this game particularly to the Wolves side that he got offended with their complaining, absurd that refs will do that and still keep their job.

raymond_w | Lakers

12 | 5 hours ago

He could have just said it was the hand to stomach contact. Which still was not a foul IMO. But at least there is some slight plausibility to that explanation. It’s almost like Brothers panicked and just said the first thing that came to his mind.

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

These have been 2 of the best Rudy Gobert games all year long. Absolutely showing up HUGE.

Hammerhead34 | Timberwolves

84 | 5 hours ago

Not overreacting, I think people are so quick to act like the gap between Wemby and Rudy is so massive. Like Wemby invented neverminds or shots prevented. As if Rudy hasn’t been a one man top 10 defense for the past decade.

Wemby is the best defender in the league, and will be for the next decade plus probably. He’s got massive athletic advantages over Rudy, not even including the huge chasm in their offensive bags.

But Rudy is absolutely still playing at an elite level, and there are some mental aspects of his game defensively that Wemby doesn’t have yet (but will develop I’m sure). Things like pump fake discipline and not chasing highlight reel swats.

Not that how well you defend an all time great offensive player is a measure of a defender. But Wemby has literally never played as well against Jokic as Rudy did tonight.

Also, not trying to disrespect Chet, he’s a phenomenal defender in his own right, but I don’t think he’s better than Rudy yet (and might never be). Advanced stats cannot fully isolate defensive help, even if they say they do. And playing with a team full of elite perimeter players and another great big in Hart absolutely makes Chet’s job a lot easier than Rudy’s.

videchateau | Timberwolves

“Foot to knee contact” and they go directly to a perfect angle that shows space btwn the foot & knee in question. Wtf are we doing here.

Murray shooting a long 2-pointer in that situation was the worst possible shot to take. Even a stepback 3 would have been a better idea.

Inori-Yu | Nuggets

Yeah either take the stepback 3 or take a timeout to draw up another play. Long 2 was the worst decision.

That’s not true. In 2024, yes.

In 2023 MPJ was the one who put the Wolves away in multiple playoff games

Jokic choosing to pass over a floater he makes 99% of the time. He has been looking passive since the came back from the injury.

So inconsistent. There were non stop whistles in the first half. Then 3rd quarter they let it turn into a bar fight. Then randomly down the stretch the start calling phantom fouls and flops.

My take away from this wolves win is that the team kept it together mentally after some really tough officiating. This team has crumbled mentally over and over in the playoffs and it’s nice to see them not do it again. Goberts defense in the 4th was insane.
