Yeah, and I think that especially, Zach, the most disappointing thing to the Timberwolves was they took 25 threes in the game. Now, they didn't shoot well at the start, but what they needed to do was move the ball a little bit and keep shooting threes like they do. They're one of the best three-point shooting teams in the entire league. And so to go away from that...

it looked like they all just wanted to attack to the middle of the zone and do something that was beyond their capabilities. And, and so I think they got into a mental game of, okay, we have to take this control back some other way when they just make the easy play. And they just did not do that over and over again, passed up three pointers. You know, what, what,

passed up the easy matchups that were out there and, and made it harder on themselves. And that's why they were just, you know, what they shoot. Yeah. 38%, 20% from three. It was, it was grueling to watch.

Absolutely drives me crazy. There was one play in game two where Luka got Rudy in the ISO, made a really creative, crafty move, comes down to the baseline, hits an unbelievable shot. It was really, really fun. It was really impressive. And social media lights up. Oh, he caught a body. Oh, yeah. but he was one for four against Rudy in that game.

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,

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.
