He's a center guarding 1-5.

How the hell is he a fraud?

He's put on an island against guards.

AD could guard 1-5 better than Rudy, and he has zero DPOY.


Gobert plays hard at all times.

Maybe you missed all the times AD lightly jogs back on defense in transition.

Lebron is obviously not going “all out” there. Luka and Reaves will do the heavy lifting up until the Finals then Lebron will take care of it from there. That’s the only award that matters to him at this point in his career. He doesn’t wanna go full speed and risk injury and only to gas out later in the more important games. Wait and see.

Series is tied. Ant actually accomplished what they came to do in the first two games— steal homecourt advantage. Ant and the Wolves are fine and still winning the series.
