His defensive on off numbers are not good this year even worse than last year
And much worse than his utah days
But yeah they have a great showing overall defensively because they have great defenders around him, two of which could be all defensive caliber

No wing help is coming, so they gotta swing for lesser moves like Bones or something n see what happens…The cold hard truth in the bay is nothing is really gon save or help them this season
Crazy how they went from “light years” to rolling out Dray/Klay/CP3/Saric as core players in 23-24, shoulda seen this coming

Not like, Rudy Gobert hasn’t been the defensive anchor on 50 win & playoff teams in the west for the past half decade (and a 3 time DPOY)…
But letVincent Van Goat tell it, something else has to be happening there to explain the wolves being good on defense and a playoff team
Oh you doing this again with Rudy

HIM
We don’t hate luka. We don’t think luka sucks. We just want him accountable and get back to the luka we knew
Just feel like Kidd is in a no-win situation. People were calling for his head 12 minutes into the season because they didn’t like the offense. The offense is clicking, Luka is playing a totally different style of ball, but he still gets no love. As soon as they hit a rough patch, it’ll be his fault again.

Problem with the Warriors is I think, they wouldn't mind going all-in with this group but the new CBA got them spooked.
The Poole-Paul trade had as much to do with the financials as it was about running the second unit while Steph rests.

Eh, it could be but at the same time none of the Dallas base here are gonna absolve luka just because he’s luka
He’s firmly in the needs to make the playoffs and also make a competitive run group. Been saying that coming into the season while everyone else tried to give that man excuses

Or you could just admit, one of the best defenders in basketball during the regular season, is doing what he’s always done. Defend well in the regular season and help his team win games and get to the playoffs.
Which should be praised. And really easy to see.

said it perfectly. Just give credit where it’s due. Dude is a great defender with good defenders and good coaching around him. Nothing really more to see there at this point

That Kings series showed some alarming trends & the Lakers series confirmed that some difficult conversations needed to be held.

I dont know the numbers but I honestly don't know what on off numbers means, but....
He's getting recognized by opponents, his impact is highlighted on a nighly basis by the broadcasts and like
wavycrocket
said, it's really easy to see when you watch their games. How many times you see guys get the ball to the paint and they're redirected with no shot attempt? It's not just guards backing out either. Being the #1 defense in the League takes more than just Rudy or just great wing defenders...it's obviously collective and Gobert is a massive part of it.I know Rudy gets goofed on and I never defended the trade, Rudy or any of that (other than to explain the teams rationale and my optimism)...I just watch every game and root my team on. Your input was kinda surprising only because its extremely evident how well he's playing defensively. But either way...we'll see how it plays out and revisit later.

So hes not any part of why they the number 1 defense? Its people around him except him? Maybe those guys are playing great defense (more aggressive) knowing they have Rudy behind them in case? Maybe its just me.

I don’t see any world in which Masai trades with Morey
Sixers don’t have anything worthwhile (that they’d willingly trade) other than picks and he’s already been seemingly offered better ones for OG.

I knew I shiuld have edited my post. The “he” in my post was in reference to Kidd. Luka is just getting the typical superstar hate. I know I’m Kidd’s biggest fan, but I feel like if he were one of the other beloved coach’s he’d be getting love for this great start. Nurse is getting love for winning with the reigning MVP
But with Kidd it’s “he has luka, he’s supposed to win.”I just want my guy Kidd to get sone credit for the noticeable difference in Dallas.
