Can we trade him yet!?

In my best Nostradamus prediction.... NO.

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves”

Take it one step further. We blew a lead against OKC, against Boston, against Dallas, and should have beat the Knicks but for some uncharacteristically bad first half play. It’s not like we got blown out in all 11. We are actually better than our record suggests, and we are the best in the west, 2nd best in the NBA, and best against good teams.

I appreciate this. Most Wolves fans think we are far worse than our record suggests. Some go so far as to think we are bad or even suck. I've just been going by we are who our record says we are.

Detroit is a great example of a team better than their record. They play great in the first half, compete very well with top teams in both conferences, then find ways to lose. We find ways to lose games we should win. Starting with Atlanta and most recently Chicago with at least half a dozen examples in between. We are good enough to go up 20, we should be good enough to win by at least 10.

We should, but we have some amazing chokes. Then again we beat OKC, and crushed Milwaukee and the Clippers in our last 3 against contenders. That's why I maintain we are what our record says we are. No better no worse.

I wonder what Karl is averaging in 3PA and 3PM in that time?

My brother just sent me this. Unreal and infuriating.

The link failed. Correction, it was a survey of NBA players with 98 voting. Jaden got 5.4 votes. Rudy and NAW not listed.

It was presented as a chart from the athletic.

Voting for what? How can Jaden get 5.4 votes?

I think it was by percentage of the 98. It was a player vote for best defender in the league.

Worth noting as a fun fact, we are 22 games above .500.

98 votes and not one for Rudy? Something is wrong.

That is literally what I texted back. All he sent me was a graphic from the athletic. Maybe someone on here who has a membership can look it up?

I've looked and can not find anything, but it may be buried in an unrelated column

Found it!! It was an April, 2023 post. It was the Athletics year end anonymous player poll. Reflects nothing current, obviously. Old, dead, news
