The unrepentant Rudy Gobert support thread

100% he quit a lot during the last 20 or so games of the season. Ever since the big Dallas win he's been mediocre.

Also want to reiterate that he was somewhat provoked... as I watched guys miss him so often when he was open... just to shoot ****** shots.

I've not ever felt that from him before... not that he was mailing it in... just he wasn't doing the extra little bit... and that extra little bit really matters for us.

I support Rudy, but I think there is some truth to the fact that he didn't always give his best effort when he wasn't being fed... of course we should have been feeding him more... but the front office would rather try and make the Conley trade look better than give Rudy his pick and roll soulmate Joe.

The Conley trade has been a disaster... the magnitude of which I could not have predicted.

Oh, and **** the FO for trading Crowder. DL and his tunnel vision.

DL and his slow "patient" approach has been a giant issue. He was too slow to move us away from Ricky/Rudy/Favs... too slow moving us to a shooting 4... then he kinda boxed himself in on the Conley trade but really DM should be in our PG spot with Ingles operating as de facto pg... it just made sense from a length perspective. Not gonna mention Dante because it turned into Jordan Clarkson and I love me some JC.

Has done some good things for sure... but also has some fairly obvious blunders that I think could have been avoided. I feel like there is no way he moves on from Conley and he will refuse to move him out of the starting lineup... when it is obvious that going a different direction would likely be better (depends on what we could get... but I feel like we could get something more useful).

Crowder may not have been a huge upgrade over Niang on the court, but intensity and locker room stuff matters... plus you need one guy that just wants to fight people... Jae liked to fight people.

Rubio was only here two years. His 40% from 3 from January 1 on and a playoff series win vs OKC in year one left a lot of hope that he was the point guard we needed and that he’d turned a corner from deep.

That wasn’t the case.

It wasn't just the Rubio thing... he did other good stuff... like sub him in for Mike right now as a starter and I think our team is better. The issue was Ricky/Rudy/Favs. The numbers showed it was one too many non-shooters... we rolled with it for a while.

We could have tried to get a pg that could shoot and match him up with Favs and Rudy... maybe that works. But nah... we stuck with the 3 non-shooter thing so long. Or you can run DM with Ingles in the backcourt and a shooting 3 with Favs and Rudy.

That's really my issue... we stick with **** that isn't ideal for too long.
 
mate 100 % with you. Still bummed they left him hanging in the immediate aftermath of the Coronavirus thing. And yes he was giving a little less than 100 % shall we say in the month or so before lockdown but everyone has a bad patch. He's always been forthright and busted his knackers to win. If the Jazz traded him i'd be done
 
Huge Rudy fan. I support this thread.

Having said that, like someone else in this thread said, I wouldn't even think of giving him the supermax. (At least what I last heard his supermax would be which was like in the ballpark of 60 million per year or some crazy BS like that)
