Nikola Jokic was asked how he can be impactful against the Wolves' three bigs in Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid and after thinking for a good five seconds he answered: "To have a duplicate clone of myself"

"Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid, those three guys sped The Joker up for the first time that I've ever seen in basketball." 👏 Kenny & Dirk had high praise for the Timberwolves defense

Incredible two-way sequence by Rudy Gobert: -Rolls hard, met at the rim -Finishes the putback -Blocks the lob to Gordon -Runs the floor to pave the way for Edwards Late 4th. On the road. In Denver against the defending champs. This is clutch basketball for the Timberwolves.

As the media walks into the locker room Rudy Gobert screams “NAZ REID”

Rudy Gobert was unbelievable tonight again. I thought the biggest play of the game was him breaking up that Jokic fake floater oop to Gordon, which led to transition and gave the Wolves a 3 possession lead.

Rudy Gobert has been incredible tonight down the stretch. Actually made Jokic mortal.....He's wrecked Denver's offense

Look, Anthony Edwards is a superstar, that’s a fact. But the Timberwolves are where they are because of Rudy Gobert. All-time defender.

How many points a game is a variant of this worth to Denver - Gobert does such a good job here - Hats off to Tim Connelly for recognizing how crucial size is to combat Denver

Reminder that Bill Simmons called the T-Wolves acquiring Rudy Gobert “the worst NBA trade in 30 years”

Donovan Mitchell better win tomorrow in order to not completely lose the narrative battle to Rudy Gobert

Rudy Gobert was credited with 3 blocks in Game 1 but I’d love to know how many times he forces players to miss a shot at the rim, turn down a shot in the lane or throw up a wild, off-balance shot because of his length. His defensive presence cannot be overstated.

Remember when Rudy Gobert was getting played off the court?????

Rudy Gobert is the first dominant center in Minnesota who doesn’t wear the belt from his dress slacks while playing

People so badly want to put AD in the gobert tier defensively but they don't understand why AD can't do what gobert does. "A 300 looks like a Phantom until a Phantom pulls up"

Rudy Gobert leading the Wolves to the WCF is going to be fun to see. Beyond time to put some major respect on his name.

Spoke to Rudy Gobert about Naz Reid’s game tonight and @DaneMooreNBA followed up talking about the 3 bigs (Naz,Rudy,KAT)
