Not saying he is the problem. His effort has been awesome this game.

Absolutely confused as to why he is the focal point of the offense where he is getting James Harden level usage.

He is 6 for 12. Towns 5 for 17. Ant 6 for 20. Play the pct. Gobert had a few miss too but still higher pct

We are losing for 1 reason and 1 reason only. We can't make a shot. Our stars are 14-44.

Wheels have come off the bus.

Respectfully, I genuinely do not know how you can watch this game and feel like Rudy Gobert is the problem offensively. Towns has twelve points on SEVENTEEN shots. Edwards has eighteen points on EIGHTEEN shots.

Some of the passes to Gobert have been tragic.


Best game ever by Rudy but he still can't catch the basketball.

We're in trouble down 6 1 min to go.

Ant and KAT killed us tonight. 15-50 will never cut it, if either of them shoots decent it's a 6+ point win.

Disgusting performance by Karl-Anthony Towns. Shameful.

No more passing to Gobert unless it's a lob. Trying to get him the ball when he's sealing under the basket has been a disaster all night.

Effing Wolves are making me repeatedly drop f-bombs in front of my kids!
WHY, WHY, WHY does Karl continue to try to force-feed Rudy in the post?

Why is Karl forcing the ball into a Rudy post-up down 5 points with 30 seconds left?
Why isn't Naz or a shooter in there for Rudy anyway?
Where is your mind at tonight man?
So many terrible decisions.

Defense played well tonight but the offense was absolutely putrid.
No player movement, no ball movement. Just a lot of forced shots and passes.

it's a damn shame because Rudy had a good night doing what he does best...rebound, defend.

How in the world is that garbage pass Rudy Gobert’s fault? There was nothing to catch.

Because he's at the basket and you or I could catch that pass.

Towns is too slow at PF, Edwards cant get hot then takes bad shots then Towns no longer cares because of it then he makes horrible pays.

I just want it on the record that people were against trading Karl-Anthony Towns for Damian Lillard, on this forum.

If we traded for him and put him at SF I'd be against it too.
