Minnesota was up 13 to 12 at the 7:30 mark in the first quarter.

The Minnesota announcers are good. Wolves down 29… need to keep it under 30 so they feel the need to play their starters a lot.

Rudy look terrible there. Seems really not matching well with this team. Sad to see.

I thought that drake thing was pure class… dropping the F bomb in the speech was legit hilarious… that’s gonna be a first take segment tomorrow
Gobert may be the most overrated Jazz player ever. And I’m just as guilty as anyone here admitting it. It’s obvious the former team was built around his strengths. Heaven help us. We didn’t build around Mitchell…. The Mitchell curse begins.

It was clear to basically everyone other than Jazz fans that Donovan is that dude and Rudy was massively overrated.

The good point is that now Don is in a team who want him. He will show how good he is when play off start. And if he failed, no worries, people can allways tell that Cleveland did not build around him

On the other hand, Rudy said "I can't get exposed in the playoffs if we don't make it."The good point is that now Don is in a team who want him. He will show how good he is when play off start. And if he failed, no worries, people can allways tell that Cleveland did not build around him
He's playing 4D chess.

Rudy is not a star player. And will never be. A big who can't shoot is not matching well with modern NBA. He is a good player but will never carry a team. But when i read that he is the most overated player of the jazz history it's just totally ridiculous.
The fact that the Jazz decide to pay him that much was a big mistake on my opinion.

I think he's definitely the most overrated player in Jazz history. 90% of you were calling him a top 10 player that instantly made the Wolves a top 2 team in the West and championship contender

4 times, the people who select the All-NBA team called him a top 15 player. I distrust their judgement less than a bunch of random people on a message board.
Gobert is having a bad year. Will next year be better? We don't know.

This is a really good response. It wasn't just jazz fans who thought he was awesome.
I mean look at what minnesota gave us to acquire him. They obviously thought he was one of the best players in the league. And ainge didn't want to let him go unless he got an amazing offer so ainge also thought he was pretty good. And the jazz gave him a huge contract so they thought he was pretty awesome too.
I just want to point out that All-NBA isn’t the top-15 players in the league. It goes by position. He was selected as a top-3 center four times.
My whole argument with Gobert was he will be getting paid 41M/44M/47M when he was 31/32/33. To pay a player who’s offensively limited that much money when players of his archetype don’t age very well. Sure, he will give you 12/12 but do you want to be paying a player what he’s going to make that much for that? I wouldn’t and it would make it hard to build a contender around down the road.
We have a huge window to improve our roster coming up due to Markkanen/Kessler making about half of what Gobert will be over the next 3 years.
Gobert has missed 10 games this season already. That was another concern of mine was potential injuries going forward due to history of big men getting injured more as they age into their mid-30’s.
He was absolutely overrated by this board. Calling Minnesota title contenders and a bunch of nonsense. I get it he was a fan favorite and people really liked him so they let their emotions speak for them.
