The latest reports are saying Minnesota Timberwolves C Rudy Gobert is questionable for tonight’s game after the birth of his first child this morning. Doug provides a myriad of reasons for the big man to get himself on the court tonight because, while the birth of your first child is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so is going up 2-0 in a series against the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Doug Gottlieb: “How many opportunities do you get to go up 2-0 on the defending champion with the Minnesota Timberwolves? They moved mountains to trade for you. You have a gargantuan contract...I don’t think it’s crazy to say like, ‘Sorry dude; need you to be here at 5, you’re done at 10.’”
