I have no idea.

But as a fan who can count on one hand how many meaningful playoff series weve actually played while having a serious chance of contending for a championship, I know I’d be really pissed/disappointed/mixed feelings right now.

I’m guessing Minnesota fans are a lot like us. Our teams have mostly sucked in the playoffs. We field maybe one contending team every 20 years. And now a guy is gonna miss a crucial crucial crucial game over this? Ehhhh. I get it but I definitely have mixed feelings. As a father, I sorta get it. My wife slept a lot after giving birth and our baby was in the NICU for two weeks. Soooo how necessary was it for me to be there? Who knows.

But as a fan who can count on one hand how many times his team realistically has had a chance at a championship? Hmmm

Also if the baby could speak I think he/she would have wanted him to play the game.

I mean the baby ain’t gonna remember him being there anyway.

Kindly like doing some things after someone died and you say “he/she would have wanted me to do this”

Write it down. People gonna be overly critical of Rudy for missing this game. Just like the crying thing.

Except this might be warranted. The crying thing was just lame and draymond is a jerk. But this? I kinda get. He couldn’t take a flight immediately following the game? Ehhh I kinda get it.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Would he be missing if they were down 0-1? Probably. Or do they assume that Denver will tie this up 1-1 no matter what? I have no problem with a player missing a regular season game. I’m not sure if I’m cool with a guy missing a playoff game against the defending world champs. Dude has a realistic chance at winning a championship this year. This series is essentially the NBA finals. Not sure how I feel about missing this game.

Also I had no idea he had a girlfriend or was married. Who is she?

Conley missed G1 of our Nuggets series in 2020 for the same reason. We lost that game in OT and we lost that series 3-4...

Miss the birth of his first and maybe only child? Come on now.

Rudy is probably doing the right thing. He’s supporting his family. Probably. But… this is your legacy. And I’m not sure anyone would judge him ill if he showed up after the game. Will the baby even be born during the game? One can induce after the game, it wouldn’t hurt anybody. If the baby has already been born, he can’t be rushed to the game? They’ve got private jets, right? He wants to stay with his family? Again, probably the right thing? But man, not sure how this plays with teammates and a fan base starving for a championship.

Would any of us have been fine had he missed a crucial playoff game when we were competing a few years ago?

Again, he’s probably doing the right thing. But man that’s a tough pill to swallow for fans.

Brunson is basically unguardable. I didn't see that coming

He’s not like AI quick either. He’s just shifty and smart. He posts up, he’s strong, and knows angles. He’s like that short super aggressive guy at the gym who just knows where to go to score and how to do it.

It’s about supporting your family and beginning the bond with your child. Are you a father?

It’s also about filling out all the annoying hospital paperwork too. lol

I’ve got 4. Wouldn’t have missed their births for anything. It was an amazing experience for me not to mention the other stuff.

If it’s not about the baby then it’s for his benefit… can you see why someone could view that as being somewhat selfish?

lol… anyone seeing that as selfish over a basketball game is superficial as hell. It’s for him and mama and it’s the type of thing he should be selfish about.
