Oh man, this is gold by WC.
Also Game 5 gave us a bit of a preview what's in store for Mitchell when his elite burst starts to wain.
We’re talking about screen defenders not entire offense. Please share those numbers.
We have a better offensive rating without Rudy this series too but please everyone tell me how he brings so much offensively. **** is getting comical at this point.
Imagine if we had a Mikal Bridges and someone like Draymond instead of Gobert.

I never said Drummond was as good as Gobert. I literally drafted him like 30th years ago when he was an all-star. They both get played off the court in the playoffs.
Secondly, I would like to remind everyone that this clown said Mitchell is our 3rd best player behind Rudy and Conley. Lmao that is all-time worst take level **** right there.
Also, by using this Mitchell is only allowing 1 point too. So by golly he’s carrying the offense and allowing the same amount of points as a screen defender as Gobert which would be the best in the league. Amazing information.

The last 4 postseasons have given us evidence of how far Rudy can take us in his prime.

Well in 7-8 years we will worry about that.
It wasn't just burst last night... he's literally on one leg... he can't move to the side at all... he can't leave the floor. He shouldn't be out there. When he is 35+ he will move better than he did last night.

And Donovan is guarding a better offensive player since Rudy is being assigned their worst guy.
Gobert has defended 72 possessions as a screen defender.
Mitchell has defended 14 possessions in isolation.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Same amount allowed and it’s a better player he’s guarding every time.
I could do that, but you won't like it. It doesn't help your argument.
The Clippers offense as a whole has a 114.4 offensive rating this series when Gobert is on the court and a 143.8 offensive rating when he is off. For reference, the Clippers regular season offensive rating was a 116.7.
Gobert isn't getting "played off the court". The rest of our roster is barely hanging on defensively with him in the game, and just dies completely when he leaves it.
I like how when WC makes the moronic claim that the Clippers are targetting Gobert thus making him a liability, when I post the numbers that show the exact opposite, he initially tries to tell me 1 point allowed per possession is "extremely close" to 1.19 points allowed per possession (LMAO), and then, when it is pointed out to him that it's literally the difference between the worst and best offense in the NBA, he pretends he was talking about the offense as a whole, while also using Mitchell's 14 possessions defending in isolation as some kind of rebuttal.
If you think 1 point per possession and 1.19 points per possession are roughly the same, just step away from the argument. You have no clue what you're talking about.
