Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When you watch Gobert play now (and this was the case last season to a lesser degree as well) there are a lot of shots where you are like "Why isnt Gobert trying to block that?" and I think that really frustrates his teammates.

IDK if it's Gobert being way too conservative with his body and trying to protect himself more than he should, or if he legitimately just can't get off the ground quickly anymore.

Minnesota fans really thought Gobert would be a shot blocking machine but they didnt realize he stopped trying to block shots for the past 2 seasons. He just relies on his reputation as a shot blocker to make players miss, but I think this year players realized that. I just dont know if he has the knees to be an active defender anymore.

I think you could be right about this. For Rudy's sake, I hope he is just having an off year and gets back to being the DPOY next year.

Some reports coming out that he tweaked his back on Saturday, and he was playing through injury yesterday. Apparently he was trying to communicate this to Kyle Anderson, who wasn't having it.

Those who already hate Rudy will come away from this delighted. From my end this says more about Kyle than it does about Rudy, but I have the privilege of having followed his career since its inception. The most undeservedly hated player in the NBA, people have a disease.

I was told Rudy was different and was going to be the anomaly of players of his archetype and age gracefully.

You need to post the quote from whomever told you that so you can pwn them the true internet warrior way.

Yeah, I was an idiot at the time when I thought that and when I’m right about it later on I’m a keyboard warrior. Lose-lose situation.
