    Why? I don't care who it is, I will always go for the other team. The ONLY exception is if a l*kers win gets us HCA or a playoff spot (and they miss)

    1st quarter he was amazing. Since then, he seems content to have gotten his double double... pedesterian numbers since the 1st.

    Every game counts and we need Minnesota to lose. Plus, Lakers sneaking in at 8 seed would prevent them from Wiggins.

    Just saw that McGee is gone with a stress fracture to the tibia. Ouch. Glad we did not go down that path.

    Not like he was playing well when healthy, but things not going well in Denver.

    Your Knicks are not looking too good either. Maybe they will tank too for the lottery

    If they are close to the 8th, they will convientely "lose" games because the league will guarantee them wiggins.

    Rubio with a triple double:

    12 PTS/ 14 AST/ 10 RBS... also, 5 steals.

    Knicks are a mess with or without Wiggins. Can you imagine Melo having to share the ball with Wiggins?

    Can you imagine how good the Wolves would be with Batum?

    lmao. L*kers are so pathetic.

    Keeping Gasol in there to hopefully boost up his stats for a trade. A blow out game and Gasol has been in most of the time. Stupid.

    As someone who hasn't watched many games (outside of Portland), does anyone have an explanation for why Rubio is shooting such atrocious #'s?

    I know it's just 7 games (32% from the floor, 33% from 3 (but that went up from 23% prior to tonights 2-2), 9 points and just under 9 assist a game), but his numbers don't seem to be as impressive as I had hoped.

    Is he injured?

    True, but there is more than just Wiggins. They could use a PG or PF. Amare and his contract needs to go away.

    Indiana is the real deal.

    I hope they can take down the Heat.

    I haven't watched much either, but Rubio has always shot poorly this side of the pond. But, he's got outstanding court vision, so I'm sure he'll turn into even more of a pass first PG, and just shoot to keep the defense honest.

    His passing is a think of beauty (at times) but he's be soooooo much better he at least shot in the low 40's from the floor. Wouldn't be THAT hard to get at least a respectable shot.
