Where tf is the game thread up in here???

[–] floatersforalgernon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Both the pass and finish are insane.

[–] Sukmefafun001@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Edwards will be the face of the nba one day

Bigger achievement: Ant throwing a lob or Rudy catching something for once

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This was a wild lob but it's progress, I'll take it lol

[–] Cursory_Analysis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The most wild part of this lob is that Rudy actually caught it.

The man has no hands. If he can actually do this consistently that would be amazing.

[–] fatflipflops@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he can't dribble or catch passes on the floor. but gobert's able to catch those arcing passes with ease.

[–] BASEDME7O2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah Rudy can catch lobs at an elite level. The problem is when he’s going up for lobs and someone passes it to like his knees when he’s like 7’3 guy.

Honestly Donovan used to kill me because he did this all the time.

The only guys who had a consistent connection with Rudy were Conley, Ingles and Rubio, Donovan never seemed to have a great link with him passing wise and when he's running PnR consistently he's an easy 15ppg.

He developed a reputation as having bricks for hands but at his peak in Utah he was 15 and 15 with elite rim protection, not a lot of players in the league can get you that.

Also a 3x DPOY (could arguably have more) and I fully believe he's a Hall of Famer when he's done.

He's basically the modern Mutombo as a comp, who is in the HoF.

Tf did you get that from? He was always decent at catching lobs, the problem was that donovan mitchel and anthony edwarda were the ones throwing them

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah Ant is very bad at lobs and it sounds like he knows it based on what he told Coach Malone at the allstar game 😂

When KAT, Kyle, or Conley throw Rudy lobs, he usually if not always makes them

[–] RatLord445@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rudy will never ever get any credit in this sub or the shitty NBA social media fans but that was a ridiculous catch as well

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah it was.

Tbh when Rudy makes an Ant lob, it's mostly because of Rudy imo. Ant throws crazy lobs lol 😂

Caruso with the mutton chops

[–] tankycarry@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ant-Rudy connection beautiful to see

[–] denverblazer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I wish they'd stop calling that level of contact a foul.

[–] fatflipflops@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ant will have a wider leap with him now having a better lob threat with gobert

[–] BASEDME7O2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If ant gets a two man game going with Rudy they’ll be insane

[–] RatLord445@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Finally lol

[–] LMcVann44@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rudyyyyyyy

Good shit Ant, way to find the big fella.

[–] realBahubali@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love ant so much.

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No Conley, no KAT last night so we saw more playmaking Ant. Ant growing as a playmaker and Ant and Rudy improving their dynamic offensively will be something to watch this season in Minnesota and very important to their success.

[–] 6inchVert@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

but he's got no hands... /s

[–] SonicBroom51@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ant and Gobert can really be lethal. Rudy needs just 2 post moves in his bag and he could honestly take them pretty far.

As a Jazz fan, I already know he won’t do it on his own.

Would love Ant to fire him up and these guys have a killer season.

[–] brickvanexel@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s not just any lob, slinging a ball like that one handed and putting it that on target? Whoo boy it’s gonna be a fun year

[–] buttJunky@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That Reggie Miller talking?
