@clarkpojo No, Clark, he is just illustrating how absurd your method of arriving at your conclusion is. Whether you like Boozer or not, the way you made your determination is logically flawed.

@weese_brian @BigRockInsights Brian, if you had a neighbor that decided to build a several hundred foot tall wall on their property that impeded the sunlight from getting to you for several hours each morning, do you think that it would be warranted for you to give a shit? BE’s resource use impacts others too

@Utah_AM This is satire pal

I REALLY hate the “my grandma is better than your grandma” Summit Vista ad. It’s bordering on LOATHING. #TusksUp

In contrast to guys that saying “They’re trying to make me Clint Capela” when 1) CC was the second-most vital guy to how a historic Rox offense operated and 2) folks are watching more pressers during playoffs, Ru is setting a great example for how to be a great teammate as a big.

[Jonah @Huncho_Jman]

Seriously, how many Bigs in the NBA are talking about their roller gravity and running aggression in playoff post-game pressers...

[Duck Analytics @duck_analytics]

@karlsasson The use of “their” here is particular egregious and funny.

[Duck Analytics @duck_analytics]

@ItLandedHere @DamienPetersNBA Tell me you haven’t watched Rudy play without telling me. 🤣

[Duck Analytics @duck_analytics]

Same vibes here tonight for Mammoth playoff hockey.

By going to a Utah Mammoth home playoff game

[Duck Analytics @duck_analytics]

Seeing Bob Weir in the background of some the shots in the crowd gets me so jacked up; even as a diehard for the Jazz team that beat these Warriors next round.

Ending of Warriors-Mavs G4 2007:

Insane run in the final minutes to go up 3-1 in the series

ROARACLE!!!!

[Andy Bailey @AndrewDBailey]

Rudy Gobert has generally been gracious toward his opponents and good with his teammates. Over the course of his career, his teams are +6.6 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor an -0.1 when he's off. He has four Defensive Player of the Year wins. He's top 40 all time in both career rebounds and career blocks.

And tons of people just seem to hate him.

[CallyJazz @Callystarr]

@FastbreakHoops5 Andrei Kirikenko

Had 4 seasons in a row he averaged more than 1.5 steals and 2.0 blocks

His best season averaged 4.9 stocks per game.

I feel he was definitely unappreciated on the defensive end in the NBA

[Steve @sjc6254]

One of the things I notice watching every Twolves game is that Rudy is never out of position. He'll block a shot at one end and then immediately be in the dunkers spot at the other end. How does a guy that big get down the floor that fast? His screening action is the best in the league, constantly opening up guys for shots. As you said, he's never hurt and never misses games.

[Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie]

I think we underrate just how unbelievable and special of an athlete Rudy Gobert is. He's 7-foot-1, 250 pounds, moves like that, plays 35 minutes per night over 70+ games per year. On top of having a brilliant basketball brain.

[Eddie A Johnson @Jumpshot8]

Context matters. On a day when Wemby won DPOY unanimously ! 4 Time DPOY Rudy Gobert did something Wemby can’t do yet. Shut down Jokic. #nuggetsvswolves

[McCade Pearson @McCadeP8]

Seeing a lot of talk on the timeline about how surprising for Gobert and Jokic to have these +/- tonight.

This is the 21st career playoff game between the two.

Jokic is a -6 in those 21 games
Gobert is a +63 in those 21 games

This is just what it is.

[McCade Pearson @McCadeP8]

"It really feels good to see his teammates trust him in these moments" ~ Utah Jazz owner talking about Gobert in the playoffs.

[McCade Pearson @McCadeP8]

Gobert matched Jokic minutes exactly.

50-29 in those 20 minutes.

120.9 ORtg for Wolves
68.3 DRtg for Nuggets

+52.6
