Gobert rips teammates

[NAOS]

Just watched the game. Hood DEFINITELY looked for Gobert more last night. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Gobert, sounding as if he were in damage-control mode, said he didn’t mean to make it sound personal on Saturday in Los Angeles even if his pointed remarks came across that way.

Not a fan of that line from the article. How about "Gobert, sounding as if he were mending some fences, said he..."

Why slag him off in the article?

He is saying how he sounded. If he sounded that way he sounded that way.

It's a kinder way to say the same thing about a subjective judgment call. Mending fences=damage control, but doesn't necessarily imply Rudy was being disingenuous the same way that "damage control" could. Unless maximizing drama is the goal of the piece. More likely the reporter used a stock phrase without thinking too much about it.

You are reading way too much into it

Right on the money. Nice analysis of a spin cycle focused on Gobert and his supposed (by Snyder) faux pas. The small print says "no speaking out of school".

Are you suggesting there is no difference between the phrases "damage control" and "mending fences"? If so, I disagree with you, because I see a fairly big difference. It stuck out to me as a (likely unintentional) jab at Gobert when he's already in a vulnerable position following his critical comments. Gobert will be fine, this will blow over soon enough, most likely. I'm simply making a comment about the reporter's tone. I'm not going to squeeze your shoes about it if you disagree.

hi guys,

I'm so glad to find here some positivity about rudy's declarations! you know I have the impression that most of people (just my feeling) in France think that Rudy is just so arrogant (like when he said he thinks he was the best center). We have some press article where people criticize Rudy and say he is not humble enought. As a french and jazz / rudy's fan, I just think that he is the most valuable guy in this team (the guy you can't play without), the heart and the vocal leader. And because he is all these things he have the legitimacy to speak and motivate his teammates. I don't know if Im really objective as rudy's fan thinking that he made the good thing but its good to see you guys encouraging Rudy.

What do you really think about it? Do you think he is arrogant? Just think sometimes people are just jealous and see arrogance instead of confidence.

Once again sorry for my english, but I'm sure you understood what I mean.

He has some level of arrogance but it is not an empty one. He just demands the attention that he thinks he clearly deserves for his effort and I am totally OK with it.

In fact I think it fits his character as he is fired up by it and plays better as long as he thinks he is better.

Sometimes, I see him either get blocked or dunked on and his body language following the position seems to be low on morale but he changes it up 180 degrees right after the next position and keeps hustling to get out of the psyche out fast. I think this is a really important quality of Gobert because he is an emotional player and the ability to beat bad trips is a most valuable perk for him.

Locke's re-hash of Rudy's comments this morning were all very toe the company line PC garbage I'm guessing that Quin and a few other snowflakes in the organization decided they had to stamp out anyone airing dirty laundry in public.

Rudy was right.

Same as his yes-man comments on why Quin decided Dante shouldn't play after a terrible game.

I actually doubt the organization exercises control over Locke's statements. I thought his observations were interesting. He basically said fans and media really appreciated Rudy saying that stuff whereas the team and org were freaked out about it. Said it surprised him, said he guessed he would leave that judgement up to the people actually involved. Fair enough.

My opinion: Leaders shouldn't throw out vague shots at their teammates. Leaders take responsibility on their shoulders first and accept blame instead of dishing it out. Rudy was right in apologizing for his comments, especially in the public eye. I think what Rudy did has some benefit, but it's kind of a 1 time use thing.

Rudy shouldn't be airing dirty laundry and putting himself above the teamike that. If he's going to say anything to the media he needs to use we not them. IMO Rudy was frustrated over one bad stretch and didn't think before he reacted. This team has fight tooth and nail to get to where they are while dealing with very tough injury situations. No player is going to be perfect Rudy included. He's my favorite player, but even I can recognize when someone has screwed up. To say that some players aren't competing is asinine.
