    everytime I turn the twolves game on late, Barea is in there instead of Rubio.

    The guy they traded away on draft night is the perfect PG for Love and Adelman's system: Ty Lawson.

    Rubio's shooting will hold that team back.

    Everybody in Portland knew that Kahn was a joke after his whole 'Bring MLB to Portland' failure.

    He then keeps Flynn and Rubio, and trades away Lawson.

    Also, it's amazing to me that Freddy Adu is only 24, just as Rubio is only 23. Neither of them really ever developed their games after being so good, so young.

    What's hilarious is that twolf fans point out lillards fg% when talking him down when Rubio can't hit the broadside of a barn

    Lillard is off to a tough start overall shooting (40%), but even with that has elevated his PER so far from 16.4 as a rookie to 19.2 in his second year.

    Meanwhile, in his 3rd season, Rubio is regressing back to the 14s in PER.

    @NBAGuru: If Hornets win tonight & 76ers lose, Hornets will have a better W/L than every Atlantic team, yet will still be in last in the Southwest.

    Which, ironically, started page 70.

    But, I think I'm going to up my post per page. Though, I like the bigger numbers.

    Wow that would be crazy if this is the scenario at the end of the season. With the way the NY teams are playing and the other 3 teams tanking in that division its plausible.

    All this shows is the Leastern Conference is a bunch of fucking losers that would rather tank than so any sort of respect of the game. I hope they all fail and somehow some 6th-7th worst team wins the #1 pick, #4 wins #2 and #5 wins #3!

    The Lakers, if in the lottery, will get the #1 pick.

    I would agree if they were 5-8th worse. Anything higher would scream conspiracy. No way the NBA pulls the trigger.
