He actually had two layups in the first half that nearly broke the backboard. Even Sergio would be ashamed.
oh sorry 6/6/2 on .311/.059 11 PER and negative OWS .023 ws/48, -6.4 simple rating 5-16 team record in his games and http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/54357/rubio-still-lacks-offensive-efficiency
Bricky seriously looks like he has the yips. He flinches when he shoots the ball, kind of a spazz relese.
Would not be surprising. HCP was talking about Steven A earlier and now this newbie is talking about Bayless. Maybe HCP watched too much ESPN this morning?
Rubio 15 PTS 4/9 Shooting 14 Assists 2 rebounds 1 stl 4 to's +9 Lillard 21 PTS 9/17 Shooting 6 Assissts 4 Rebounds 3 stl 5 TO - 8 Yes, he outplayed Lillard. I forgot to mention that Lillard had two turnovers down the stretch.
Kahn probably won't be here to screw up another draft. And the only way the Wolves don't win 40 games next year is because of injuries. How is it an excuse? It is reality.
Man you guys really don't get the difference of comparing individuals and comparing teams. You have a great avatar, though. Best character on the Wire.
Are you looking for sympathy? Your injury "luck" is NOWHERE near what the Blazers have been through since 2007. So you can take that argument and shove it up your ass. And I mean that in the kindest way, friend.
The thing is I actually like the Blazers. They were one of my top 5 teams to watch in the early 2000s and during Roy's prime. I just think you guys severely underrate Rubio. Statistics don't capture just how good he is.
I'm just flipping you shit. Rubio looked the best I've ever seen him in the 4th quarter the other night. Of course, if the Blazers breathed on someone it was a foul down the stretch, and Barea and Rubio were allowed to arm check Lillard on the perimeter. A bizarrely reffed game, but Rubio had a good quarter.
The worst adjusted +/- of any starting PG in the league. He nearly breaks backboards with simple layups and pushes the ball like Marion on his jumper. We're just calling it how we see it.
I honestly don't think Rubio gets enough calls. 1/3 of his misses are because he is hacked and there is no call (obvious exaggeration). I can admit that at this point, Lillard is better than Rubio. If Rubio can learn to finish 3/4 as good as Tony Parker can, he will be insane.
Kinda funny that Barkley was very annoyed when Shaq took Lillard with his first pick for the rookie/rising stars game, so he settled for Rubio with his 5th pick.
We do when the at least one T-Pups fan made his bold prediction 20+ games into the season, and also said that if Love were out longer, it wouldn't matter because they're possibly better without him. So... yes, yes I do ignore the injuries. It's not like Blazers have been without injuries. Obviously, not to the same extent as the T-Pups, but still.... Guys like Wes and Batum still try to play through their injuries, as much as possible, even when they're almost hurting us.
