WTF Rudy?

Why not give him a couple of games off to recharge and rehab. Let TB, Morgan, Davis and Brantley have some minutes. Rudy has been out there a lot.
 
Maybe give all the starters a "time out". See what Conley can do with TB, Clarkson, Mudiay, Morgan, etc. I think the starters need a benching to kick them in the ***. No accountability means no performance.
 
How much of a drop off would there really be from Rudy to Udoh on both ends of the court?

Could Udoh be a 11/11 guy with elite defense? He wouldn’t set the screens Rudy does but at a ~25-30M difference in salary, doesn’t Udoh make more sense? IDK.
 
Of late he's been catching the lob with one hand, when he could just as easily used two. Not sure if he thinks they're giving style points or what, but it has caused a couple of unnecessary misses. I can understand players reluctance to throw to him, but the team's obviously suffering from not doing it. Something is going to give with this team. Hopefully sooner than later. They've got to address their issues or they are never going away
 
Mudiay going from solid 20 min performances to being absolutely negated, 0 mins. Maybe that would do something in the locker room as well... I bet this was probably brought up behind the scenes among some players.

He literally cannot catch a pass. And that is ****ing unacceptable on any level.

He had 4 TO last night for a guy who complains about not getting the ball. If you can’t catch it, don’t pout to get it when you turn it over constantly. If I was Rudy’s teammate I’d be over his whining tbh. I don’t care if he says something straight to them. But don’t do this passive aggressive annoying **** of taking shots to the media during postgames.

It seems like bounce passes are problematic particularly off the pick and roll, zip passes are problematic as well and he also has a tendency to hold the ball down below for long periods where people can steal it away. Truthfully, the only pass to Gobert that I feel confident with is the alley oop, but if he's not getting fed regularly he can go into petulant mode where he refuses to play D. Truthfully, I think he may be the most high-maintenance player on the team.:(

Any pass not right on top of the rim is problematic. And that is a problem.
 
This is why I'm upset with Snyder right now. Rudy needs to be involved offensively to get fully engaged.
Mike has no clue how to get Rudy involved. Emanuel has no problem, attack the basket and drop it off to him.
Ingles being forced to guard Royces guy (when he was starting) really takes Joe out of the game. He's a good defender but he's not dominant. It takes a ton of his energy to guard them. Since Ingles is worn down he doesn't have the same game offensively and Rudy really relies on Joe to boost himself.
Bogey use to have the ball in his hands on like 20% of possessions. Now it's maybe 10%. Now he's regulated to standing in the corner or wing watching Conley or Mitchell dribble around.
This is so simple. Conley with Clarkson in the 2nd unit fixes this nonsense. Plus they both should be able to dominate any other bench units.

Well that's exactly what this team is lacking - a floor general. No one is holding others accountable so everyone is slacking (almost). I've said it before...Donovan needs to
care less about his image for awhile and get in his teammates' grills and call them out for not giving a **** on the court. He's the only one with the hops to do so. If he wants a team to be his team, he must take this next step.
