What's new

Donovan and Rudy selected last for all-stars

Two-time and about to be three-time DPOY gets picked last. This isn't about Rudy IMO, it's about Utah.
Two times DPOY who also averages 13ppg. Joakim Noah, DeAndre Jordan, Marcus Camby comes in mind. I mean, Kawhi also won DPOY twice. Dwight Howard won it three in a row. But they both did it while playing a much better offensive game which is what the league is all about these days. If Rudy can bring his scoring up to, let's say, 16ppg and DM improves his to 27ppg with better efficiency, I bet they ain't gonna get picked last next time. And it also helps our championship chances. So I agree with a lot of posts from above, it motivates them to play better. That is a good thing for the Jazz.
 
Lebron even went with "I need a big. I'm taking...Domantas Sobanis." Dude was barely a all star. Yeah Rudy needs to clap this guy.
Indiana people even wrote about this
"But guess what Pacer fans, you're not the most disrespected team in the NBA."
 
Do you think this has anything to do with the tirade about the calls last night? I try not to be a conspiracy theorist believer but what if the NBA told them to pick that way because of it.
 
Nick Wright is basically a mouthpiece for Klutch Sports, and tweeted this directly after:

 
I hope Rudy plays really tough defense in the game and makes it no fun. Set a few really hard picks.

Everyone picks on the outcast until the outcast punches a sucka in the face. We need to buy into being the bad guy and start throwing hands.
 
I kind of like the disrespect. To me it should motivate this team and I hope we come out swinging after the All-star break but more importantly I think the players know we have to step up in the playoffs when it matters.

Also this shows that some players might be afraid of the Jazz this year.
But it’s not Rudy and Donovan who need motivation. It’s the other guys I’m worried about. Bogie still sucks. His defense almost makes him unplayable in crunch time against good teams.
