    5 turnovers too, and he played more minutes than Luke Ridnour.

    1-8 puts his FG% at 23% for the year, and 0% (0-11) from three.

    Incredible, really. He may be the worst player getting major minutes in the NBA right now.

    PapaG, would you say he's Rondo-like?

    I've wondered why we have "white American center" threads every three months or so.

    We get it.

    Q. Who has two arms, two legs, is from Spain, plays point guard, and is in the Rondo mold?

    A. Nobody ... ever

    LOL. But one of those legs is a bum wheel. Needs to be oiled up.

    I was told Rubio is a star. I'm just enjoying watching his progress.

    1-8, but still.... Not that far off from improving. One mor shot made, even with anothe attempt, and it'd have been an improvement.

    tonights line (in a loss though, after the Twolves lead by a fair amount early):

    4-9 from the floor, 1-2 from 3, 5-6 from the FT line, 8 assists and 5 steals. That state line is probably closer to what he'll eventually do.

    The first time all season, in 16 games, that he's scored in double figures. And Minnesota still manages to lose to a Charlotte team that had lost 16 in a row at home. Minnesota has now lost 9 of 10. So much for Rubio making his teammates better.

    Based on what, exactly, will he be a 50% 3-point shooter? Also, Rubio had 4 fouls and 2 TOs, but he did kick ass in +/- tonight.

    I get the feeling some here will cheer for Rubio just to be a contrarian. No harm in that, right?

    Looks like Rubio has his Wolves in playoff form (12th place in West), losing to the Bobcats and all. The Wolves are garbage. No playoffs for them this year. Enjoy the lottery.

    You do know that 'closer to' doesn't mean "exactly the same as", right? And you know what "probably" means, right?

    Odd that you think I'm cheering for him period, and cheering for him to be contrarian. If anything, I'm pointing out that ignoring a game where he had decent production doesn't mean it didn't happen.

    no harm in watching him, good or bad

    and i fully expect him to end up at around a 9/5/8 kind of player, once he demands a trade
