NBA – Beaten in Denver during Game 5 of the conference semi-finals, the Wolves suffered the wrath of Nikola Jokic, author of a legendary performance, and who put the Minnesota defense, and in particular Rudy, through an ordeal Gobert. So obviously, Draymond Green jumped at the opportunity to add a layer on the French pivot, and predict a victory for the Nuggets in the series.
Draymond Green et Rudy Gobert are not and will never be the best friends in the world, as evidenced by the outburst of the legend of Warriors against the Frenchie during the regular season. Guest on the set of Inside The NBA on TNT, Dray was virulent towards the quadruple DPOY, like Kendrick Perkins or Gilbert Arenas earlier in the month. According to him, Rudy Gobert would be responsible for his team’s defeat during Game 5 in Denver:
“Karl-Anthony Towns does a pretty good job when he’s on Nikola Jokic. It’s you (Gobert) who makes you cook. You need help from others, but in certain situations, they can’t help you. You just have to make a stop yourself. »

An observation which perhaps lacks neutrality, especially since few in the history of this sport could have limited a Jokic also unplayable this evening.
“The second thing is, when you’re in a playoff series, you always have to look for any ounce of weakness you can find in the opponent. And the way Karl-Anthony Towns limped off the field after playing the rest of the game without seeming to have any pain, and could barely walk at the end, Minnesota can’t believe it anymore. And when you stop believing in it, it’s over. They don’t believe they can win anymore, which means this series is over. »
It remains to be seen whether Draymond Green really understood the state of mind of the players of Minnesota. But without hope, it is difficult to imagine another outcome for Wolves who have largely lost the psychological advantage compared to the reigning champions, more confident than ever since the start of the playoffs.
According to Draymond Green, Rudy Gobert would be one of the main causes of the failure of the Wolves, led 3-2 by Denver after having dominated the defending champions in the first two meetings. A perfectly neutral opinion, as we like in the NBA ecosystem.
