lets fn go
I was at the game. NAZ AND ANTS POSTER DUNKS WAS GODTIER
Rudy we trust
The reason guards/forwards continuously challenge Gobert in isolation opportunities is because they’re still referencing what happened against Doncic two playoffs ago. It’s a miscalculation based on one instance Rudy got burned in a high profile moment.
During the 2023/2024 playoffs, when Rudy defended in isolation, he held his direct opponents (KD/Booker/Beal/Murray/Luka/Kyrie) to a 25% field goal percentage. During the 2024/2025 playoffs, he held the best perimeter players in the league to a 32% field goal percentage. These are simply exceptional statistics for a big man against such mobile players. And yet, ten times a day I read on social media that Gobert is a defensive liability outside the basket. What nonsense.
