- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2025
- Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle got into it again Thursday night when Randle ignored Gobert down low and he took matters into his own hands. I talk more about the events that lead up to this situation and why it's not as bad as it looks.

problem to me is much deeper, instead of pushing the offense forward, some of the players want to make their plays and do heroball, sometimes Gobert is gonna be angry, other times some other players, Rudy's moments i think get highlighted more because a lot of people have negative attitude towards him
This is exactly it. The offense is very disjointed right now
No that looks like two guys who don’t necessarily like each other… u can tell Randle doesn’t respect Rudy’s offensive,, they’re going to end up breaking up this team
Spurs would love Gobert on their team
@@joyced25facts
@@DanielLi7 oh no, we’re bad again or whatever smh. Nah. White Dante always starts slow. Him, Naz, NAW, and Jaden are all severely off rn and we’re .500. It could be wayyyyyyy worse 😂
I don’t think they respect Gobert as a player bro
Agree
Gee I wonder why
Gobert is mid and overpaid. Not even that great of a defender constantly gets dunked on. Overrated
@@eXit-ubermensch he is a cone offensively but he is a beast defensively on the paint, the fact that he gets dunked on a lot proves that he is always there trying to block up shots, that was the most casual shit I have every seen
@@eXit-ubermenschnever speak on ball again lmfao
randle looks disappointed every time he passes the ball. no matter who it was. lol
He’s fucking trash, I have no idea how he justifies his clownish arrogance
That's just his face
Nah that's who Julius is 😂
Now I wanna see a team of Cam Thomas, Jordan Poole and Randle together.
@ankey7384 The Possession Ends With Me fantasy team - KAT, Julius Randle, Cam Thomas, Jalen Green, Jordan Poole, with MPJ and Jaylen Brown being the bench. They'd have time violations every possession since nobody wants to be the guy to pass the ball from out of bounds.
Sometimes I see the passes that Gobert fumbles are usually when the ball is thrown at his knees. Ofc he still fumbles some normal passes but some of the ones in the video is not only Gobert's fault.
Right it’s easier to fumble a pass if your not expecting it because you usually don’t get it
including the one at 2:44 clearly at his knee
not only that watch on 0.25 speed Randle gives a ball nasty spin with both hands
@@ax1911 It was definitely a 'ok fine mf' kind of pass.
@@youngflow320 Yeah he must feel constant worry of 3 second as well since the pass is not coming or coming very late, once you start doubting at your moves, it all goes downwards.
That first pass to Gobert was at his fucking knees. What did they want him to do. Pass the damn ball to his chest.
Or at the rim anything but that lol
He gonna drop it anyway if you haven’t noticed for years
@@Grind2Excellence years huh? show me a couple others. I'll wait.
@@GrizzlyXyou obviously don’t watch wolves games
@@GrizzlyXhes in the top 10 center turnovers, yet has much less assists and touches than a many of those.
not saying that he has certified jelly hands, but he IS prone to turnovers
(jok embiid olynik nurk valancunias adams gobert vucevic plumlee lopez)
The ‘04 Pistons used to always start the game by giving Ben Wallace some post up touches.
They knew it wasn’t efficient offense, but it made him try harder on defense and was good for team morale.
Gobert should be handled in a similar fashion; let him get some touches early on and don’t be disappointed when they lead to bad offense.
Also, Randle should just be a stretch 5. He doesn’t really work as a 4
So did Cavs
Randle can't be nothing but a 4.
randle waaaaaaay to fking lazy to play the 5
Randle as a stretch five would not work at all. I mean maybe on offense but he is getting cooked by Ad, Wemby, Lord Forbid they put him on jokic or embid Sengun would give him buckets. Shoot I bet in that case the bucks would actually make Lopez post if they saw Randle starting 😂
To small to be a 5. Small ball doesn't work you would think the nuggets would have showed you guys thay already.
This is where KAT's almost lack of aggressiveness was a positive. He was ok with playing a secondary role in the offensive.
I feel like Kat was the glue guy of this team.
Also kat is an underrated passer him and gobert used to eat of the pnr
Ah now you guys acknowledge Kat, but after the Mavs series you wanted him out...
Til ant got exhausted vs mavs. Why traded. Need creator
KAT was not the answer. Wolves overachieved last year. Rudy, Conley and McDaniels have regressed this season, the defense is terrible
Gobert is not a great offensive player, everyone knows this. But for every player on his team to just ignore him when he's put himself in the perfect position, wide open at the rim, obviously takes a toll on him. Imagine doing everything you can for a team, anchoring a great defense, getting flamed by the media and part of the fans because they don't understand your game, and then even your teammates clearly don't respect you.
Props to Rudy for staying professional. I don't know many people who would be able to take what's thrown at him. Might explain some of his "tantrums" as well.
Not only does it takes a toll on him, but it also tell the other team : you don't have to worry about Gobert, we're not going to give him the ball. Which is a pretty bad signal. It affect offense as a whole. Minny needs Gobert to be perceived as an offensive threat when he's posting, in order to balance the spacing. If they never feed him, the center position becomes a dead spot, and the opponent can take advantage of it.
@@Blockhausjim exactly, Min basically play 4vs5 on offense, and the 5th is so stressed out when the ball does eventually come his way doesn't help either, Gobert also can't draw a good defender if the opposing team knows he ain't getting the ball, so why Min play him like this is just odd
@@Blockhausjimexactly, you can even see the players stop fighting for position in these clips cause they KNOW hes not getting the ball. its almost funny
Wtf are all these reasonable well thought out comments doing here??!! i thought this was the youtube comments section?😂
Makes me wonder... Would Randle have passed the ball, had Gobert been alone under the rim? 😅
Damn they straight up bullying dude , Randle ruin this teams chemistry maynn
Yeah this team isn't going anywhere near a championship. Seemed so promising just 6 months ago.
Not even Rubio used to give him these passes. He cant catch the ball or take advantage of post ups.
Randle is 29 now, its on teams at this point. Guy was always this bullshit.
Randle on the mavericks would go crazy hes just not a good fit on the wolves
@@elvergudo9355 For goodness sakes don't ruin the MAVs to, there is barely enough ball to go around now as it is. Randle would kill that team and Kyrie and Luka both would prob shut him down quick. They have trouble getting Klay enough shots
This is proof that New York won this trade.
Lose lose trade imo
Ain't nobody winning a ring with either Randle or Kat 😂
Have you seen the Knicks this year?
@@My99-hv6sj Yes, there's some growing pains, but did you see them last night blow out the Nuggets? This Randle stuff is not new to us. Good talent, but too often a head case.
@@spinedoc18 immaculate timing from the Knicks I’ll give you that. I still don’t believe they got better if not worse. Imo this was a pointless trade for both teams that were already trending upwards
Brother Minnesota did the trade for salary cap reasons. When you do that, you’re almost never winning the trade. NY made the trade with the intent of getting KAT
those were terrible passes that he fumbled, prolly wasn’t even expecting the passes since they don’t pass either
yeah he definitely looks caught off guard on at least two of these
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Looks like No Handle Randle just carelessly shoveled Go Bare or Go Home the ball the ball at his kneecaps. Not an easy pass for a 7 foot giant to reach.
Exactly 😂💯
Both Edwards and Randle are terrible passers, they put their heads down and dribble and then they see nothing but their driving lane and the basket. Yeah they can score but having two of them on floor together is destroying their teammates’ flow, especially with Conley out. This is light years worse than kd and Westbrook okc in terms of taking turns to play iso ball I’m sorry, both kd and Westbrook were much better passers especially off high pick and roll.
The way they passed the ball to interior is straight up awful. I always thought gobert is trash, but his team also made him worse.
@@geoforce6228 Rubio made Gobert look like an Allstar
@@geoforce6228yeah fs ant definitely needs to improve his passing that’s one thing that is underrated about kat those big to big pnr between gobert and him used to eat
Gobert needs a Trae young
the thing about westbrook and kd was they had no shooters bro 😂 they were playing with 3 none shooters
The Gobert hate is real. There’s a reason fans don’t vote for Defensive Player of the Year. He’s an absolute beast when he’s on your team. Does the dirty work without complaining and is a straight-up deterrent just by being in the paint. Something you don’t see in the stats. But casual fans will keep saying he’s a bad defender.
Offensively, yeah, no doubt, he doesn’t have the best hands... Maybe even really bad hands. But that doesn’t stop him from having one of the best field goal percentages in the league near the rim. When your big man has a mismatch under the basket, you gotta feed him.
He has
I think Shaq and Draymond's attacks on him and were very effective on skewing the public opinion in painting him as the most overpaid athlete on court. Funny that those 2 asshats had nothing to say about crybaby Embiid, Pandemic P and many others.
@@akirosakuragi9279
Facts
My biggest issue is he gets cooked by his good matchups every time and in the playoffs is a liability as everyone just switches onto him. That's not the best defender in the league.
Advanced stats sure hes great. He's nowhere near Wemby tho who does everything and more on D.
@
Gobert is a better rim protector than Wemby is a perimeter defender, and rim protection matters more. He’s a big who might get cooked by great guards, but that’s happened for years
Edit: To other great bigs. Even Ben Wallace got scored on by Shaq
This is one of the problems with todays game. Guys dont know how to feed the paint. Man is literally under the goal and randall chooses to iso. Come on man. Thats wasted effort.
Wdym, Jokic can do all that and more. Luka, Kyrie and many others
@@akirosakuragi9279 cut it out... name 1 guy on any of those guys teams that lead the league in post up posessions... joker doesnt feed himself and he is number 1 in nba in post up.. so how is joker feeding joker?? whos the amazing post up big man on the nuggets that joker is feeding? nobody... aaron gordan is not some post up savant and he cuts more than post up .. nobody on the mavericks ever really touches the ball outside luka kyrie and pj and the big guys are most lobs ... they have a big that loves to post up yet they wont allow it.. 3s are 1s and cutting is second, nobody feeds the paint like the comment said..
@@mambamentality5080 Who said anything about post ups other than you? The man said "feed the paint". Do you even watch Jokic? He feeds guys in and around the basket all the time.
@@mambamentality5080 Jokic feeds other players on the Nuggets if they have a good post up. Especially with Gordon but he'll do it with anyone who has a mismatch. Yes, Gordon is usually cutting because then he gets wide open dunks.
@@sjbell4653 that's not feeding the paint my brotha. The proper term is an entry pass. Cp3 might be one of the only guys that still has this skill. There is no better shot in basketball than a 7ft man standing right under goal with a small defender.
Randle is terrible to watch. Plays prison-ball and relies on the refs
Lmao “prison ball” is thee perfect way to describe what he does on the court 😂. Head down, bull rush, bail out passes, complain and watch your team play 4 on 5 defense in transition 😂😂😂
prison-ball💀😭
🤣 erfect way to describe it
He's like LeBron but not very good
Facts. He slows the pace of the offence massively, plays no defence and Looks entitled as shit while doing it too.
Hey Minnesota, welcome to the world of Randle. So happy he's no longer on the Knicks. 👏
You’re blaming Randle, when nobody is passing gobert the ball 😂
IMHO you guys wouldn't have made it past the sixers if Randle was in the lineup, dat ballhog is overrated af
yup RIP minesota, its gonna be a dysfunctional team, Ant was also trying to play solo, he was saying a few days back that "i want to get 40 pts"
You act like the Knicks have it figured out this year lol They look horrible on defense
@@relykremok1225 yeah, I been noticing that it seems Edwards has let the hype get to his head.
They need to trade Randle for even a few darft picks and start Reid.
I mean they could just start Reid now and bench Randle.
@@DemonKingBadger a benched randle doesnt buy in to the team and you've wasted your trade
No one is giving Randle a draft pick, that guy is a 29 year old ballhogging overpaid bum.
That's what they're going to do. The trade was to be able to have flexibility in trades and free agency. Minnesota is playing the long game. Randle is still an asset that they can get a return for
@@DemonKingBadger Randle ego ....
Clips just show Randle passing it when hes forced to bail out. Randoms rec energy iykyk
Me at center getting 3 seconds 😂😂😂
I have littered comment section with this sentiment
💯😭😭😭
Comparing this to your little ymca experience is hilarious
Lmaooo the reason I don’t got 2K now I jus can’t with randoms bro I can’t
I've never liked either player, but Randle just comes off selfish to me on the court
I agree. Rudy is a little obnoxious but he's not selfish on the court. Randle is very obnoxious AND selfish on the court.😂
Bro idk how Rudy copes with this stuff he holds down the defense give him some touches if I was Randle I’d straight up tell ant “hey I need ball more I’m a dopy caliber player treat me like one”
Nelson Aglehor catching strays
If I were Rudy, anytime I pass to Randle, it’s going to be a speed pass at his ankles.. not in practice but in real games
tbh i think he should keep it professional let randle look like the clown so he can stop this foolishness. And get the team to realize how stupid this kind of behaviour is. optics will matter cuz ppl will flip real quick if he starts messing w the game.
@
You are right.
Knicks fans never really liked Randall.
He dribbled the ball more than Brunson. If you pass to Randle, you are not likely to get it back. He wouldn’t share the ball unless there was a 90% chance it would result in an assist for him
Great analysis. Am Hoops wouldve blown this out of proportion like everything else. Its refreshing to watch someone with hones and realistic takes!
Randle is a cancer to any team. He has low bball in too.
You just described Rudy Gobert. He and Randle are two of the dumbest players in the NBA.
@@KillerJoe-p6r gobert plays actual great defense, randle is just lazy and will resort to throwing up 20 3's a game
@@sangun123 Oh, I don't like Randle's game either. But Gobert is an absolute liability on offense because just like in this clip he will get open under the rim and then fumble the ball away. How the heck do you not catch the basketball. Gobert can't say that he wasn't expecting a ball because supposedly that's why he was under the rim in the first place. He complains when he doesn't get the ball and when he does get it he doesn't know what to do with it. He can't even catch it.
@@KillerJoe-p6rthose were ankle passes to a center....Randle is only worrying about jackin 3's wit his goofy BB IQ.
At least Rudy is effective in defense not to mention wherever he is, he makes the team better. Except the first year in Minnesota. As for Randle, the Knicks was way better in the playoffs without him.
You Should Slomo this Sequence 2:16 ... you can see Clearly how Randle Spin The Ball Before Passing it to Gobert Knees.. Wolves deserve to lose for Tradng KAT to Randle. dude always been a toxic player since his Lakers and NY Days..
Years of the Randle spin cycle in NY and EVERYONE knew it was a guaranteed turnover. Twolves got fleeced. We love KAT here in NY.
@@captainwohop right? i never thought we'd get KAT but i always thought we need to get rid of randle for any real success, like sure he can get 20 and 10, but my god it'll be at the cost of any real ball movement
It is a disgrace to the game actually. He just wanted to humiliate Rudy there. They were down by 5 at 5 second as well, he could easily go for 3 to cut it to 2. But he cares more about "winning" a hypothetical argument against Gobert than slim chance of winning.
FOH the ball hit him right in the hands. As an NBA player you catch that. Only a scrub who doesn’t ball would even question that pass in a tight window. Randle force fed Gobert and he fumbled a few passes as well. Knicks just lost to the Jazz, and you know what a 6’9 PF would have been helpful.
@@christopherblake2588LMFAO not getting a pass all game then suddenly gets thrown a bad pass and a low one at that? Foh now I know you a casual. Guaranteed I played more ball than you 😂
Rudy needs to go steal the ball from Randle .
it's not gober's 3 sec violation it's randle's 5 sec not passing the ball.
Randle dribbling the air out of the ball and making goofy dumbfounded faces in 90 percent of his game
Precisely. Except it be more like 7 seconds
One of the biggest nba mysteries to me is how Gobert is the most disrespected player from like every single corner. What did this guy do to deserve this? Other than the Covid thing years ago, I just don’t understand why this guy, multiple time defensive player of the year, gets so disrespected.
I actually don’t understand.
I never liked this trade. I’m not a believer in Randle. Yea Minnesota had to make the trade for money reason, but they screwed up a good thing they had going on. And for THAT REASON so did the Knicks. This trade was a huge lose-lose.
Do you think the nba players just disrespect him cause they feel like it? No. It’s because he’s not good. Just because you think he might be good or people who “watch” the nba think he’s dpoty doesn’t mean the nba players think he is. And they obviously know more about basketball and watch a ton more film than anyone in the comments. Where there is smoke there is fire.
@@ESPLTD782Even if he is not good enough for them the guy is playing heavy mins. among starter players. He is literally with them on the floor and got good positions. If they care about winning they need to set those feelings aside. The man got few mismatch wherein he should have gotten the ball. To me, Julius has a serious attitude... when it doesn't go his way he shows no interest, etc.
@@ESPLTD782 yeah probably his dpoy awards is debatable. But do you think coaches are idiots? He is a star caliber player, can defend well, can for sure score in the paint if can get the right touches and mismatches.
@ yes. Actually I do think some coaches are idiots. Compared to you and I, obviously not they are savants of basketball, but compared to other coaches, yes. Doc rivers has been terrible for years and years, and has been ruining teams. Darvin ham was stubborn and by all accounts was not making any adjustments. So yes I do think compared to contemporaries some coaches are “idiots”
Not work on any offensive skill whatsoever. Not even having a drop step hook shot as an nba “star” is ridiculous. And his shot blocking is overrated
Reflection on the coach
3:43 Really?? That was Randle’s switch, lebron set a screen on Gobert… Minnesota can’t make these mistakes come playoff time
Why didn't Julius take the switch to AD on the screen? Dude is a horrible basketball player, and does not make others around him better.
@ exactly
I appreciate how concise your videos are. Good breakdown, straight to the point, no nonsense.
As a okc fan I’m glad wolves traded away KAT. One less team to worry about
Was about to comment the same thing 😂😅🤜🏿
You need to worry about the Celtics
@ I agree I have them winning the chip this year
Fr that wolves team was dangerous with Kat but now it’s just ehhh. Good luck lol
you actin as if west isnt still stacked by top contenders? we got teams like the warriors, rockets, nuggets, mavericks, etc. broo 🤣
This is the content the sport needs! Love how you break down film.. I’m only a minute in & I’m hooked
I think this was Kat's most underrated skill- he would give passes to Gobert.
It's a 50/50 shot of Gobert fumbling the ball or Gobert catching and finishing 😂, but it's a way to reward your anchor for their defense.
The warriors kinda had a similar scenario many years ago with Draymond. Not really on the scoring side, but Kerr had to design ways to make Draymond be a facilitator to be more involved offensive end.
Draymond is a fantasic passer -- but Randle .... you have to pry the ball out of his hands. Rudy deserved to get that pass.
Yo my guy, I am genuinely grateful for this channel. Like genuinely real basketball knowledge and passion
Brother, they cant play nice passes. They don't see the open man....
Guy is 7' tall, you cant throw the ball to his knees... Come on now this is not rocket science , Randall doesn't want to be there , he didn't want to leave NY. He was a problem in LA which is why they got rid of him.
Rudy Gobert calling for the ball is the funniest shit ever 🤣 😂
That's why they still rely on Conley. They lack a playmaker that reads the floor when NAW or Donte is in
This is just a breakdown of modern NBA, the reason I can't watch it anymore. A big with a mismatch in an empty paint and the play ends on a contested 3... I want my NBA back😢
Lmfao you're too dramatic, diva. This wolves basically 1 of 1 situation because of poor roster fits and lack of playmaker. Post up still fundamentally profound in todays game, go watch denver, cavs, rockets; almost all team when they have good matchups down low.
Naaa, it's just GOBERT
Yeah I cut back watching too, by a lot. It’s like the midrange and other FGA don’t exist nowadays
@@murakjin3725 like I said, I don't watch much of the NBA. Could you give me 5 dominant centers that score mainly from under the basket. Not interested in bigs that shoot 3s
@yvesorivy I might be wrong, but checking the stats, other than Denver, not one of those teams have a big with 20pts per game
I'm glad you pointed this out cuz Gobert has been made an easy scapegoat & I've been noticed that too, the fact that he doesn't really speak up for himself makes it easier to point the finger at him too, but now ppl see why we traded Julius away! Why would you not feed the post when he has a clear mismatch down there?!? Then you give him that weak pass below his knees & this man is 7'2, how much sense does that make?!? Ant & KJ ignored him too..they're all culpable, but Julius was the most blatant & he just got there..smh .
Gobert played Robin Williams and Randle is Kurt Russell: It was the best of times.... it was the worst of times...
2:12 -- He threw a low, hard pass on purpose.
Lmao this trade made both teams worst I’ve never seen sumn like that 😂
You're an idiot if you think this made the Knicks worse. The Knicks' issue is basically having a 6 man rotation and no playable big beyond KAT because of injuries.
Un des gros problèmes des Wolves, c'est qu'à l'exception des anciens Conley et Ingles, aucun autre joueur n'est capable de faire une passe propre à Gobert et même pas en lob. Cette partie de l'apprentissage des joueurs est définitivement perdue. Ca court, ca saute, ca pull up, ça tire à trois points, ca défend si peu, ça ne replie pas, ça n'a presque plus de jeu midrange, le jeu offball ça sert à quoi ? C'est du jeu vidéo pour décérébré. Pathétique. Allez on envoie du parpaings à tout bout de champ, et quand tu en as un qui en filoche 2 de suite c'est l'extase. Quelle tristesse de lire tous ces commentaires d'incultes.
As someone not invested in this drama, I really liked your fair breakdown of it.
Feels like Randle would prefer Gobert to stand off of the basket, opening a lane for him to get inside and either score or draw Gobert's defender onto him so he can dump it off onto Gobert for an easy basket... if Gobert can hold onto the ball 😂 Which is evidenced by the later clips where Randle feeds Gobert a couple of times for baskets.
Not sure why Gobert's teammates aren't passing him the ball when he's got position and a mismatch but I guess they can't have much faith in his post-up game if that's the case 🤷🏻♂
Either way, Gobert's reaction was childish IMHO. I can understand why he got frustrated but that 3-second violation with the scores tied and under 5 minutes to go... followed by the hip check that he did on Scottie Barnes the next possession that led to free throws, may very well have cost them the game.
hey if everyone on ur team disrespects u and coaching staff doesnt even let u get like a single touch except for lobs like just hire tacko fall instead
i wish rudy just request a trade
He’s human but to constantly miss a teammate for what should be a more efficient shot is inexcusable. His reaction was in response to bs the same way they get techs from refs for bs.
I’d say them not giving him l the ball for easy buckets among other things cost them more than his “childish” reaction
@@user-dh7dj3yw1b that’s my point though, I think they just don’t trust his post up game for whatever reason… not excusing what his teammates did or saying they were right to refuse to pass the ball, but the scores were tied when Gobert did what he did and put them behind so his reactions were not only unnecessary but also more glaring.
You might be right, if they had passed the ball to him all those times he could have scored a ton - or he could have fumbled and lost the ball on the passes like he did a couple of times in the video above. We’ll never know that, cos it did not happen. What we do know is that he reacted poorly to not getting the ball and that put them behind.
Same thing with Spida. They dont trust him to give him the ball, especially late game. Even times when he has an easy lay up or mis match he somehow manages to mess it up
Remember when Randle used to tell stories about Kobe trashing the entire locker room but him excluded? Remember his time in the Pelicans where he hogged the ball so his points were up but the team was down? Remember when Knicks used to suck until he got injured? Rudy is unlikeable but Randle is a diva.
Knicks did not "used to suck until he got injured"
I like the break down better than most Channels at a point I got lost in your explanation I did not know where you stood on the matter but still appreciate the hard work you put in. I’m going to look through your page for more content hopefully something on thr Knicks or Bucks
Donovan Mitchell used to treat Gobert the same way in Utah. Gobert has two greasy spatulas for hands
2:49 lol he dropped it? That pass was trash and Randle was looking for a way to escape. Why are you defending this?
The Knicks win this trade, Randle is just another "One Season Wonder" player 😂
i mean he's good.. if only he passes the ball more, willingly, and properly, won't ballhog, not arrogant, play defense, and develop a decent field iq.
Minnesota's FRONT OFFICE is what is wrong. Trading KAT for Randle was the dumbest move in 5 plus years in the entire league.
They probably seen how Gobert can't score from that position during practice. Why would they give it to him then during the game.
If you're Gobert "man up" -Shaq. Getting paid millions and not being able to develop and offense is weak af.
gobert has like one of the highest fg percentages by the rim, when he's in position like that, he can score lmao, implying contested 3's and turnovers are a better alternative is insane
I know both share some blame but to me, the problem is Randle. Golbert was already on the team when the timberwolves didn’t have this issue. Randle is extremely selfish and a ball hog which is what NYC experienced with him too. He’s the root cause.
man, if i'm gobert, i might have pulled that kind of sht on them as well. these guys want to solo everything like its not a team game. 😂 kids
That was a fair take on the situation - just blaming Randle is too easy. The Wolves should look to the Celtics to see how important team chemistry is. Guys like Tatum are learning to park their egos and support their teammates. And hopefully the Wolves will too!
Gobert is more of a liability to this team then he is a positive. They need to find a big man to take his place. Someone that can handle the ball in the paint a bit better.
Thought this was going to be a clickbait rage video but it was actually legitimately nuanced and well-presented. Props! subscribed
They rather take a long contested 3 and off balanced layup than pass it to post for mismatched. 😂😂
Its always a misnatch , because this dude well known for having butter on his hands , he cant catch , cant pump fake, cant shoit middy , if u that bad stay in dunker spot , u already overpaid by 200m
@@hiramclarke88 thats bs even if we take that into consideration, in most cases, there's still bigger chance of him actually getting that ball in if they just passed to him at those moments
@@nashl.4372 dont say it to me lol, send message to randle bro
Gobert is 7 feet tall n Randal passes ball to him at his feet. Randel as always been a bad team player....
I think even Jokic would think twice before assisting to Gobert
They do him bad. Those passes that was dropped to me was below his waist. The other was like Randle trying & so Gobert was going for a rebound incase he misses when Randle suddenly changed his mind, eventually passed. Gobert got few mismatches...
LOL, have you seen Jokic passing the ball to Russ for 3s even though he can't shoot? Look at Russ now, his percentage is improving just because of the trust his teammates are giving him.
i saw him pass the ball to Will Barton in clutch moments, Jokic really has to much confidence in his players @@spidaa1717
don't associate my great king Jokic to this individuals of which are considered as selfish and vain individuals brother, never disrespect his greatness name ever again whilst I'm still breathing in this world that we live in 😭🙏
Normally i tend to think gobert is overly emotional and blows things outta proportion but honestly in this game he sealed well and should have gotten the ball in each of the situations he was ignored. They werent playing team ball
Gobert has no hands offensively, he is clumsy with the ball, he needs to work on that or he will always be a bad offensive player.
Look some of Wemby and Curry workouts with small balls to work on their reflexes... Rudy needs that.
If I was in Gobert’s position; a mismatch an essentially the higher quality look of a bucket, and it’s not coming I can’t blame him. These guys are playing low efficiency basketball. The minute that ball goes to low block on the mismatch, it’s pulling someone from somewhere else resulting in a more open shot if Gobert or whoever is down low. Sad that there’s little to no team basketball.
Gobert has no hands...that he actually calls for the ball is hilarious, no wonder no NBA player likes him
Meaningful analysis thanks
Gobert needs to play with Harden or Trae. Harden a just throw him lobs all day 😂 they only pass gobert the ball to post up and that’s not his game. He can easily get 15 a game off pick n rolls
Byron Scott called Randle out years ago about his Immaturity!
This wasn’t even the first time they got into it but I call it a mix of growing pains as well as nobody really respecting Rudy
Excellent Take!!
0:51 how much of a better position does he need lol. Throw it high towards the basket he's the only one that's going to get it lol
On the outside looking in I can understand why people would be upset that Randle didn't make that pass to Gobert but as a Jazz fan I can promise you Rudy is terrible offensively even if he has a smaller defender on him. Most of the time he either turns the ball over or misses a wide open shot and then he complains when he doesn't get the ball. This is what caused Rudy and D. Mitchell to clash so much on the court and is happening in MN now
In order for one to grow they need opportunities.
Minnesota’s offense can look so disgusting at points. It’s like they don’t have an actual system behind their actions like Sacramento or Golden State’s motion offenses. Whenever their pet plays fizzle out they just resort to iso ball. The defense looks fixable if Randle and Ant can get more engaged away from the ball. They don’t have a cohesive pnr coverage with Randle at the 4 yet and Gobert still is in the 95th percentile for defensive on/off.
The Nelson Agholor hand joke was great lol
I understand Gobert's frustration. As a big man who outside of putbacks almost solely relies on the playmaker to get him the ball to score it must be frustrating being on the same team as ball dominant players like Edwards, and Randle who just don't know how to feed a big. Doesn't help that Conley hasn't been the same player this season and Kyle Anderson left. Rudy is actually a good roller to the rim and he gets himself into good positions around the basket. He just has no service from his playmakers. They're not maximizing his potential or the rest of the roster and the reality is that having two non playmakers like Edwards and Randle ruins the teams offence.
This is precisely why New York got rid of Julius Randall. And the reason Donovan Mitchell didn’t wanna play with Ruby Gobert.
The dumbest move I've seen wolves make was replace KAT with Rudy...
They did not replace KAT with Rudy. They replaced him with Randle.
I was thinking to myself that he gotta frustrated because he gets these type of mismatches all game, but nobody on the team passes it to him when he makes a move. He's obviously not a post player. But he's the exact player you try to reward whenever you can because of the amount of effort he puts in defensively. Sad tbh.
Wow, I’m glad I came across this
Goebert underutilized. Wolves passing sucks.
The common denominator here is gobert
Wolves must be a pack or fall apart...... thanks for this; GoGobert !!!
It’s sad to they won’t give to ball to French
The amount of free throws and layup he missed cost them the game yesterday
damn, Nelson Agholor out here catching strays
What I used to do in those situations was just intentionally get 3 in the key and blame the other player for not passing it. But I was also the best player on my teams. Robert is sorry on offense but at a certain point you gotta give the ball to the 7 footer RIGHT under the basket
watch on 0.25 speed Randle deliberately gives a ball nasty spin with both hands. KAT trade was a disaster Randle aint a winning player and it will only get worse for Wolves
Here’s my issue. I think people need to understand there is more to receiving a pass from someone. The placement of the pass matters. He’s a 7 footer. Why are most of these passes being thrown to him below the waist? Put it where he can catch it and go straight up.
With that being said, he does need to work on freeing up a bit more space when there is dribble penetration and his catching ability. So, both of these issues contribute to his inability to catch passes.
Also, where are the lobs?
That VC tribute court is so sick
Rudy Gobert is a huge defensive presence and has an extremely high FG percentage. He has bad hands everybody knows that but the passes they throw at him are ridiculous, either too fast, too low, or in blind spots. The players who primarily handle the ball are the ones that need to bring out the best in their teammates and help them succeed. Get it to his chest. Float it to him when he has the height advantage.
lol @2:23 why did Randle throw the pass to his Gobert's knees? What are they hoping happens?
I was at this game, and you can see the animosity between the 2. As a Knicks fan I can tell u, Randle continues to hold the ball and just won't pass. He repeatedly forced shots and made terrible plays. Gobert was basically useless in this game.He moved like he had a stiff back. He also played liked he doesn't want to be there and was basically ignored by the entire team in the shoot around before the game and throughout the game. The Timberwolves played like shyt and lost. The entire game was sloppy. Edward's also played like he didn't want to be there. He scored 20+ but could have had 30+ if he actually played like he normally does. It was a terrible game for both teams but the Raptors played more like a team.
Just saw Randle get up immediately after Gobert sat next to him on the bench against Houston lol
To be fair it was 3 seconds in the paint before Gobert started walking. If the whistle would have come in time it would have been obvious this was all on Randle.
Sure the pass was low but dude is an NBA player. Have better hands than that. Y’all can catch no look passes no problem but one that’s a little low is a problem?
Gobert was wide open in a couple of these situations for sure and the obsession in the NBA with the 3 pointer doesn’t help and only adds to the reasons he wasn’t passed to. Let’s also be real though, Rudy is not really an offensive weapon or someone you want handling the ball that often. Yes these moments he probably should have gotten the ball for what looked like easy points however he’s not as sure of a bucket as other centers in the league or other players on our team either. So I see both sides.
As always, Gobert is the scapegoat when something goes wrong
For once, I am taking Rudy's side here. Mike Conley was needed here because Ant is not a leader. Ant is a "I'll do it myself" which is fine, but Randel thinks he's like that too. I am glad they got that 3 second call. Rudy read the game correctly, give him the ball, stop waiting until you've dribbled 10 times before you give a sloppy pass. Terrible team effort.
They were better when they were a defensive team. Now they trying to generate extra offence so they dont have to do what they did in denver but tbh i think this being the number 1 defence last season was better for them than this high offence line ups
The Champions Pistons passed the ball to freaking Ben Wallace sometimes so he was happy enough to then play hard defense all game long and screen for them.
Im pretty sure these ringless losers "bros" can pass it to Gobert here and there too
(Gobert though, should not post every smaller player and think is a mismatch though, but still, he's in the right here).
