He has an open shot and gets in his own head.

Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
Bruh that Celly mid play EUGH that was clean. Okay Rudy
No stats here just pure defensive mastery
Nasty
Wouldn’t be surprised if he won his 4th DPOY this season. Gobert’s such a generational defender and I always love watching him lock people up
Pass up a wide open shot just to go inside get blocked by Rudy. Not good basketball iq.
This clip cuts off before the crowd gave the man a standing ovation for his defense. Rudy was unreal tonight.
Brings a tear to my eye, lol. I fucking loved hearing the "Ruuuuudy" chants in our arena. I'm so happy for this weirdo French guy.
I'm so happy for this weirdo French guy.
I could not be happier for him... but.... there's a tiny bit of sadness that he didn't get this amount of universal love when he was with us. Glad he got what he's deserved for so many years, but just wish we got to share it with him in Utah.
Incredible defense here, and not a single thing here will show up on a box score.
People who hate on Rudy's defense expose themselves all the time.
FUCK YES
How the hell are people saying DPOY when there is still 3/4 of the season left. You guys are so reactionary
Gobert for DPOY 🎉
Gobert quietly leading this team to relevance but history is just gonna be like ANT ANT ANT
Damn I miss Gobert….
For all the hate he gets, I like to see the dude thriving in Minny and still being this defensive juggernaut.
As a Jazz fan, I’m stoked to see Minnesota fans start to appreciate Rudy. Go Twolves.
Chet too small /s
Between his on court play, teams success abd clowning Draymond, what a season from Rudy.
DPOY of the year guards rookie *
Has Gobert instantly become more valuable with Chet and Wemby-types coming into the league
Bruh that was good D and all but it was seriously defensive 10 second violation in the paint.
Tell me you don’t understand what a 3 second defensive violation is without actually telling me.
Defensive three seconds doesn't work that way
Chet will use this to get better
Shame Rudy isn’t getting the love he should this season, easily the best defender in the league by a margin.
Same with the year smart won it.
Well played by Gobert but dude is a veteran with 50 pounds of muscle on a rookie, respect the effort and enthusiasm defensively but we all expected this to be Chet’s Achilles heel coming into the year
23-24 gobert is such a fat W
I love the Wolves this season, dark horse to win it all
That defense is art, I love watching good D
He's supposed to shut him down, no? He plays great defense here but that should be the expectation that he shuts down the rookie. Gobert is just doing his regular thing here, the man does have multiple defensive player of the year awards after all.
Completely opened the floor to him and dared him to use his left hand. Really exposed a big weakness if Chet can't finish. Great job by Naz on the rotation too.
So happy to see Rudy get shine - he’s really a fantastic player and people were slandering this man for way too long for no good reason
Yeahh!
now THIS is podracing!
The ending is hilarious, it just kept getting worse. Ik Chet prob was thinking "wtf!?"
Welcome to the NBA game for Chet
Goddamn. There goes that man.
GET CLAMPED FRAUD
People meme on Goober all the time and some how avoid the fact that he is one of the greatest modern defensive bigs.
He’s probably extra motivated by Chet getting more ROY attention than his fellow Frenchman.
DPOY
Loving the Rudy love lately
Chet needs confidence like he had in summer league 2 yrs ago
A good example why he's been Defensive Player of the Year thrice in four years. Defense is his bread and butter.
It's so funny that a player that has been benched in playoff games for literally defensive purposes has a great chance to tie Ben Wallace and Mutombo for most DPOY awards
(Not hating or saying postseason stuff should impact reg season awards but it's an objectively hilarious scenario we get to watch unfold)
Chet gonna set a record for most times being put on someone's highlight reel in their rookie season
That flex is something else. Damn I got hyped while watching the Game on replay
my god that court looks awful
