And I honestly thought Zach that in the fourth quarter, in the second half, one of the reasons that the wolves were able to cut into that lead is because Luca did seem kind of hell bent on. I'm going to embarrass this dude. Like I'm going to put him in one-on-one. I'm going to cross him over. I'm going to step back. I'm going to go buy him.

And I am going to put this guy on the sports center top 10. And, and it really kind of, bogged down the Laker offense for a little while. And, and so I do think that Rudy has done a really good job in that matchup. And for, you know, anyone to say otherwise, because Luca gets him once or twice. I mean, that's just disingenuous. It's ridiculous.

you are a hundred percent correct on the offensive side of things. And I will say this on Rudy and defensively, he's got to grab more rebounds, man. There's been a few times. It's just, they've glanced off his fingers. He hasn't been able to get his hands on it and end the possession. He's just got to do a better job there. But one-on-one against Luca, he's been fine. And yeah,

And yeah,

offensively, one of the reasons I was optimistic about the Timberwolves going into this series is in the last month or so leading into the playoffs, they had really done a good job with Rudy getting him involved. Julius Randall, little, little drop lobs to him. Even Ant was finding him a little bit more. And Rudy was consistently 15, 17, 19 points, like really being a factor.

Now he's playing terrible defenses, but, but you thought that maybe they could build on that and they haven't done that in the first two games. And so if he is going to be out there, if you're not just going to go with the Nas Randall front court, he does have to be more of a factor. He has to catch the ball cleaner. He has to, they have to find little lobs out of the dunker for him.

He's got to get on the offensive glass better and create more second chances. That's the way that you hurt the Lakers. by going big with Rudy. And he has not done enough of that so far in these first two games.

Yeah, absolutely. I think that it is no coincidence that the wolves were terrible offensively in game two and Nas Reed and Dante DiVincenzo were both in foul trouble early because what you, what we have seen from this wolves team all season long is, has been they generally start slow. They did in game one. They were down seven in the first quarter.
