And Rudy allowing every offensive rebound under the sun again

Rob is tanking his chances

Dilly can't play against the first unit yet. If Garza can't hit the open shot, you may as well play Ingles.

Probably slight underdogs without Ant or Mike.
Going to have to win this one with defense and get some offensive contributions from Rob and TJ.

Rob has some bad motion on his jump shot gather sometimes where he bends down and pulls his elbow in that he needs to eliminate.
Going to add bad side spin to his shot.

Garza also way too much elbow motion to have a consistent release point.

**** you Rudy, man the **** up

Be great to see TJ drop 25 or 30 points tonight.

Inexcusable bricking FTs like that though.

Rob has been some kind of awful tonight.

Really rough gobert game

Some people here telling for months he should start instead if Mike

...Rob is talented but he is 2 years away and still lot of work to do before reaching starting level.

What's wrong with Ant?
Did he hurt himself dancing against Houston or did he eat too much free Chipotle?

I don't understand matching Dilly on Simon. Play NAW or Clark or JMcD on him. POR don't have that many scorers. This game is getting out of hand quick

Every Wolves started but Naz is having at least a bad game. Rudy and Rob ****ing suck. Jaden in foul trouble and not putting his mark on this game at all. NAW, playing like the bad version of NAW we have seen all but two games in 2025. Very pathetic first half so far by the guys you NEED to put their best foot forward.

No reason why Gobert shouldn't be able to grab the offensive rebound there

Listed as hip, in reality played too many minutes recently and is exhausted. Given that he has only missed one game this year, I can live with it. Ant should be screaming mad at his teammates for playing like trash every game he sits.

Dropping winnable games against teams like Portland and Washington at home is a killer with the brutal schedule we have coming up.

Gobert has been very frustrating

People like to overrate role players and rookies, also over react to one bad game from your star players on this board

Rob is just not ready yet.

younggunsmn · Post #39 » by **younggunsmn** » Sun Feb 9, 2025 1:52 am

It's games like this one that earn Rudy Gobert the reputation of being soft.
Disgusting effort boxing out if he were 4 inches shorter he'd have trouble grabbing 6 or 7 rebounds.

Man...they are killing on 2nd chance points
