The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[toneboi76]

This is what I hate when it comes to the convo surrounding Rudy. Numbers/stats/spreadsheets always favor big men and that seems to be their only argument. What do your EYES tell you?

Jaden and Ant were way more impactful last night making it tough for Luka and Kyrie while Gafford and Lively have been eating. I have SEEN dozens of defenders in my life that are better than Rudy so the scrutiny comes with the territory if you are a 4x DPOY

Rudy passed the eye test last night to me. I still don't like some of the defensive schemes MN is using, but overall he had a helluva game.

Rudy can suck and still be better than his backup.

Wait I thought y'all loved Naz Reid.... or has the narrative changed?

1. Boxscores stats like PER favour big men, on court off court stuff doesn't favour any particular position.

2. My eyes tell me they are having problems scoring with Gobert on the court and they are having issues defending with Gobert off the court.

I'd rather have a switch C like Bam vs the Mavs but that's a match up based not about how good Gobert is.

3. 4x DPOY is a matter of timing,
who would you prefer won it this year?

AD? Jokic cooked him and the Lakers defense was bad this year.

Wemby? Jokic cooked him and the defense was bad the first part of the year when he was playing PF.

Bam? Jokic cooked him in the finals. Got roasted by Boston.

Turning on your own son again.

Ant is a joy. Seeing all this calculus to prop up his center is annoying.

Can't believe we agree.

DA EURO AGENDA

 

[HIM]

Minny may have found something. Would not be shocked if this goes 7.

 

[broncos19dm]

 

[lawdog1]

Eh, I guess. Nobody out there and available who I can confidently say would be an upgrade over Ty, so fine.

Starting to look more and more like we’re just running it back in a new building and new uniforms next season.

 

[akajae]

And people call Lebron a coach killer.

Getting Kidd and Lue raises

 

[rbk93]

Could have swore Lue was outta there.

 

[HIM]

Now bring CP3 back and we’re cooking

 

[dman14]

I think they bring back Paycut P at a slight discount

 

[elpablo21]

But the Perk and Gil takes are fine? Bet.

Can't wait till it's over as well. We agree on that

That’s what they’ve been trying to do, but PG won’t accept it - according to “sources” anyway.

 

[dman14]

Miss the days of Bron, Steph, and KD. We out here arguing about Rudy errday
Almost wished we got a Knicks and Celts series

 

[pmatic]

My favorite part is Ant ignoring Gobert asking for the ball vs DJJ.

 

[dman14]

I just can't see another team just giving him a big bag at this stage. There are a lot of bad GMs

Rudy brings the worst out of everyone

 

[lawdog1]

Yep. Good thing I’ve become comfortably numb to it all.

 

[elpablo21]

Rudy brings the worst out of everyone

If you think that's those TWO worst then idk what else to say
