    LOL at the comparisons. Show me the stats - Rubio's stats compare to scrubs!

    Congrats on Rubio drawing in the big FA's, BTW. Can you remind me which big FA you guys signed?

    Let's put it into perspective. First 23 games Rubio as a starter. 12-11. Yeah big difference HAHAHA

    PER largely measures offensive performance. Hollinger freely admits that two of the defensive statistics it incorporates -- blocks and steals -- can produce a distorted picture of a player's value and that PER is not a reliable measure of a player's defensive acumen. For example, Bruce Bowen, widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the NBA (at least through the 2006-07 season), has routinely posted single-digit PERs.

    "Hollinger argues that each two point field goal made is worth about 1.65 points. A three point field goal made is worth 2.65 points. A missed field goal, though, costs a team 0.72 points. Given these values, with a bit of math we can show that a player will break even on his two point field goal attempts if he hits on 30.4% of these shots. On three pointers the break-even point is 21.4%. If a player exceeds these thresholds, and virtually every NBA player does so with respect to two-point shots, the more he shoots the higher his value in PERs. So a player can be an inefficient scorer and simply inflate his value by taking a large number of shots."

    Steve Nash...

    :lol: :lol:

    When did Nash ever shoot/score like Carlton Banks?

    [video=youtube;yjTpEQWyCjM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjTpEQWyCjM[/video]

    And advanced shooting % stats show that Rubio is probably a worse shooter than Carlton Banks.

    Can't blame Minny fans for being bitter, Batum would have been huge on that team.

    And with Pek being in a Blazer uni next year, Minny fans are going to hate on the Blazers for a long time.

    :D

    wait I know I'm behind the times with Comcast and crap... but why the Frak is Minny here again? Did they sign Bonzi or Shawne Williams, James Robinson, or Harvey Grant... and want to howl about it???

    Yawn, anecdotes mean nothing. Results count. So, if Rubio has all these immeasurable intangibles that magically make his teammates better when the game is on the line, how come Minnesota was 5-10 last year in games Rubio played in that were decided by 5 points or less?

    Hopefully better than the Shitty T-Puppies. I would be embarrassed to cheer for such a lackluster franchise.

    Minnesota average home attendance: 16,582
    Portland average home attendance: 19,614

    Really, who? The best player on his team can't wait to get out. He doesn't attract free agents, he repels them!

    Ricky Rubio career record in close games: 5-10.
    Blazers with Damian Lillard 4-0 in overtime and won last night on Lillard's last second 3-pointer.

    Right, based on 42 games with a 10.2 career scoring average, zero playoff appearances and a 14.9 PER, Rubio is a lock to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Sure, he is...

    Who is currently the best player on a team that is 16-8.

    NEXT!
