What's new

Mic’d up segment Donovan/Quin

There is no way you aren't trolling.
I know. I'm messing.

In all honesty though, I used to like Rudy quite a bit. This forum just got so overboard Rudy apologist that I had to counterbalance.

At the end of the day, most NBA players are divas. Ours are no different.

And yall called me a contrarian all these years?!?!
 
Well, Rudy is being a diva by working his *ss off for other on D and on offense through hard screening, rolling and rebounding, indepent of how much he sees the ball

A great diva he is
You can play hard and still be a whiner in the lockerroom. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Also, not pass much to Rudy isn't as much a problem to the Jazz if they're actually running a proper offense generating good shots (you can hit and miss, but if you get the right looks with the right players you should hit more than miss), an actual problem is to decide "feed Rudy is bad cause if not a lob/dunk Rudy makes too many turnovers and misses too many shots", then proceed to play a sh*te iso offense with a ton of turnovers and midrange bullsh*t with terrible efficiency.

And that's also on Quin, dare I say. Even for Bojan to attack the Mavs guards on mismatches (that are actually decent to good defenders, the type ones we've seen time and again picking up steals or charges when Bogey has to do too many search dribble on his post ups) the drawing to feed him there is too much simple, not even oriented for him to catch ready for attack on the weakest man (it's been pretty much feed him inside, but if he's got Kleber, he has to work on him despite lacking sive advantage, if he's got DFS, it's attack him despite he being the Mavs best defender) , is like give him the ball and need 5 seconds working for his right position to then go for a finish.

Yeah, it was one thing when not passing to Rudy resulted in wide open 3's, but now it's like we get Rudy on a switch against a small right under the rim and we are resetting the offense for Clarkson/Mitchell to take a tough shot. It's wild how often that happens.
 
Then why did Quin make the comment about trying to get him the ball that came with the response we see?

I love how yall will completely commit to rumors involving Donovan to the point that you blow it out of proportion, but you simply refuse to see something clear as day.

Because he thought it made sense?

People here at least commit to rumors (I would also be happy if you could point where I blew it out of proportion), you commit to pure baseless conjecture.
 
Well, it's not hard to call Rudy a whiner, but then that makes him a diva ?

That low level of requirements can be used at others ?
I'm simply speculating. If Rudy is being high maintenance or a whiner or a diva in the locker room or coaching sessions about touches, wouldn't it lead to reactions and comments like we saw in the mic'd up video?

I'm not making accusations. I'm playing devil's advocate. Wouldn't that make sense? We didn't need to force the ball into Rudy game one and it worked out fine. Then Quin insisted that we "tried" to get him the ball.

Why?

I guess the "friction" with Rudy comes from the fact that he actively tries to put focus on the issue that's more functional with his own comfort zone (defense, energy, engagement) when right now he just can't contribute on the other side the way this particular team needs.
Donovan never took the same path. He can contribute on D if he really put energy on it, but he need to focus on his O production because his team need him to be an all time great playoff scorer and aditionally a PG... but then he's got killed for his lack of D commitment.
It's a bad situation for both guys, and it's not going to last.
I think the most probable scenarios are that Rudy goes away or both goes away while Quin tenure in SLC will end with this season.
The time for Ryan and Danny to craft their organization has come.

I feel like Rudy is trying to be a professional and take his job seriously. I think DM is acting like the petulant child he is and giving half *** effort.

Yeah well I mean he can’t catch the ball and when he does catch it he doesn’t do anything with it but the fans are still demanding it so I can see why.
