Draymond Green takes another shot at Rudy Gobert

May 18, 2024 by Hoops Hype

ClutchPoints: “Marcus Smart, you won DPOY, you guard Steph [Curry], right?… There’s a center who won [it] and we’re asking Karl-Anthony Towns to go guard the center.” Draymond Green on KAT guarding Nikola Jokic 👀 (via @TheVolumeSports) pic.twitter.com/pTSe7rzmTg

Important and good initial read here by Rudy Gobert that won’t show up in the stat sheet.
I would say Gobert’s most impactful growth stride on the offensive end this season has been his ability to function as a short roll passer. He’s not always smooth with it, but it’s plenty pic.twitter.com/XQTLHKguvl – 6:38 PM

One thing I’d like to see in Game 7: Rudy Gobert take a charge
Just looked it up, Gobert has only drawn two total charges in two seasons with the Wolves. Not his style to be floppy, I get it. But it’s almost like Jokic knows that. I mean, almost every time Jokic gets Gobert pic.twitter.com/i6ayXbud8f – 6:23 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
At the beginning of the series, Denver’s defensive concession was that they were gonna leave Rudy Gobert open on the roll to the basket — they pressed Jokic up to the level of the screen and relied on him and AG or KCP to create a wall that Ant would have to thread if they wanted pic.twitter.com/CWFsVlCA5J – 1:39 PM

Rudy Gobert jumped past Stephen Jackson and Josh Smith to No. 277. Next up is No. 276 CJ McCollum.
Mike Conley jumped past Mario Chalmers, Avery Johnson and Amar’e Stoudemire to No. 196. Next up is No. 195 Derrick McKey. – 11:16 AM
Jorge Sierra @hoopshype
Rudy Gobert passed these players in playoff rebounds yesterday:
Bob McAdoo
Anthony Davis
Larry Foust
PJ Brown
Marcus Camby
He’s No. 103 all-time now. – 4:30 AM

Jamal Murray injured his right elbow running into a Rudy Gobert screen moments into Game 6. Murray hopes his elbow improves over the next two days before Sunday’s Game 7. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 2:28 AM

Teams limiting the Jokic-led Nuggets to 80 points or less in a playoff match:
➡ Rudy GOBERT teams: 3
➡ Rest of NBA history combined: 0

Frank Madden @fmaddenNBA
Gobert having as many assists as Jokic tonight (2) might be the biggest statistical anomaly of this series – 11:46 PM

Teams holding the Jokic Nuggets to 80 points or fewer in a playoff game:
3 — Rudy Gobert teams

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Getting hit with multiple 20-0 runs is wild
This is worse than when Warriors went to Memphis and got smacked by 39. Draymond was doing whoop that trick with the crowd that night … a significant level of unbothered
The Nuggets should be bothered rn pic.twitter.com/RlsfQiiHe1 – 10:52 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Towns, Gobert and Edwards combined to shoot 16 of 35 from the field and the Wolves are winning by 50 points. – 10:50 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Rudy Gobert deserves a lot of credit tonight. He got cooked by everyone over the last two days and came back and played a great game – 10:43 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Rudy Gobert is playing his best game of the series by far. He’s got the entire Nuggets rotation seeing stars around the rim. – 10:19 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Gobert short roll into a McDaniels triple. Nuggets forced it to Wolves’s two weakest links and still gave up 3 points. – 10:02 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Denver usually sits Jokic at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters, but they’ve adjusted that tonight and he just hasn’t sat yet midway through the 2nd.
The Wolves played well in the non-Jokic minutes in Game (+6) because they left Ant out there and put Gobert out there, who… – 9:17 PM

KAT and Gobert each had 7 rebounds in the first quarter. – 9:11 PM

He’s on TV selling cars, sandwiches, the Warriors, the NBA and more. The ubiquitous, unsinkable Draymond Green overcomes self-defeating acts because he possesses the gift of showing people the good dude behind the ‘bad guy.’ nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-sta… – 6:03 PM

In the locker room before every game the Wolves put game film on as players are getting ready as they come in and out. If I’m Chris Finch tomorrow, I’m putting film of Draymond the last two nights on TNT saying the Wolves are done on a loop. – 12:37 AM

Draymond has been added to Inside the NBA to make it easier for all of us to let go. One final masterstroke from the best studio show in history. – 8:38 PM

ClutchPoints: Alex Caruso: “I think DeMar [DeRozan] could have won [Clutch Player of the Year]—” Draymond Green: “Uh uh… and DeMar my guy… but he couldn’t have because Steph Curry was winning.” Charles Barkley: “Y’all were winning? Y’all were in the Play-In.” 💀 pic.twitter.com/u0C1tQhdoV -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / May 15, 2024
During his recent appearance on Inside the NBA, Green took another jab at the Bosnian player. “The Suns have no big man… KD [Kevin Durant] is the Suns’ big man. They got no big man,” Green said, pointedly omitting Nurkic from the conversation, as reported by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. -via BasketNews / May 14, 2024
NBA on TNT: “Who’s the leader that’s going to step up and say, ‘Hey, man, this is garbage.’ … Steph Curry went on the road and beat them in Boston. It’s costing [them] championships now.” @Money23Green on Boston’s 15-15 home #NBAPlayoffs record since 2021 -via Twitter / May 13, 2024

The Athletic: Mike Conley Jr. missed the Wolves’ Game 5 loss. But he returned to the lineup in tonight’s 45-point win. Rudy Gobert: “Don’t ever leave me again.” 🎥 @ChrisLongKSTP pic.twitter.com/pEkkVT9wwb -via Twitter @TheAthleticNBA / May 17, 2024
Dave McMenamin: The Wolves win, 115-70, to force Game 7. Ant Edwards 27p 4r 4a 3s; McDaniels 21p on 8-of-10 4r 2b; Conley 12p 5a 4r; KAT 10p 13r 5a; Reid 10p 11r; Rudy 8p 14r. MIN’s 45-point win is the 2nd largest margin of victory in NBA history when facing postseason elimination. -via Twitter @mcten / May 16, 2024
