    Minnesota went the final 10 minutes of the game without making a shot. Amazing.

    13/5 in 15 min. for T-Rob.

    His scoring is the same per36/per100 (sub 50% shooting) but his rebounding is way up in Philly:

    25.7 TRB% (career high is 19.1)
    20.6 ORB% (career high is 13.1)

    To be fair Austin played some good D that game. Shame his offensive game is so inconsistent.

    Rubio is a huge difference maker for the Wolves.

    Not in terms of wins and losses. The guy still can't shoot to save his life. Last year his coach benched him in the 4th quarter of close games in favor of J.J. Bares because Rubio was afraid to shoot and every team in the league new it. They would back off, play the passing lanes and dare Rubio to shoot. MIN's record was horrible in close games with Rubio last season. It's hard to close out a game when the guy with the ball in his hands can't and won't shoot.

    Dude you should see how bad they are without him. Nobody else on that team can make a play.

    Just because everyone else sucks, doesn't mean Rubio is good. Although, I suppose it's all relative. Until he learns to shoot somewhere north of 37% from the field, he will never be the starting PG on a winning team. If the defense doesn't respect your shot, you're playing 4 on 5 on offense. Last year, MIN was a MUCH better 4th quarter team with Barea running the point than Rubio - think about that for a minute.

    What makes this worse is when Harden was asked about this in his post game interview..
    "oh that's how we play on the street, just two competitors going at it"

    Nahh, do that on the street and it'll be coming to blows. Harden knows that.

    Harden lost his streetball cred with his flopping.

    Name me a more blatant offender - Divac? Harden still tops him.

    Team Spain? Probably not.

    Same old KG - always trying to play the tough guy against tiny little guards who don't even belong in the league. He knows if he actually tried to tough up against someone relevant, or 6'6"+, he'd get his face smashed in. Despite his irrelevance I still loathe the guy. What a schmuck. I hope before his playing days are over someone knocks him out.

    LMFAO. If Harden tried his flopping shit "on the street" he'd get his bell rung "on the daily".
