    Guys does anyone else find humor that this T-Puppy fan is seriously reaching on his arguments?

    Id hate to be a tpup fan. They act like they won the championship when the team is barely going to make the playoffs.

    Go back and check the stats:

    Ricky Rubio allows his opponents to score 19.8 pts/48 and Damian Lillard's opponents score 20.4 pts/48. Are you really trying to claim that 0.6 pts/48 is the difference between a top 5 defender at his position and THE WORST DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE? Surely, you're not that stupid, are you?

    And in terms of total opponent production (PER) both Lillard (16.0) and Rubio (16.4) are below league average (15.0), but Rubio is worse. How can anyone possibly be worse than THE WORST DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE?

    You're going to have to do better than this. I'm losing interest fast. I think my work here is done, time to move on to something that matters. Hint: it won't involve the Minnesota Timberwolves. They haven't mattered since they gave Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics, and they barely mattered before that.

    Nah, Rubio will get hurt again in a month or two and they'll fall out of the playoff picture.

    Dude, they're 20+ games into the season. It's too early to talk about the T-Pups and the playoffs. It's one thing to do it with a proven team, but they aren't a proven team, so it's far to early to act like they might make it. I mean, they finished last season with something like a 5-21 record in their last 26 games (Fez, help me out). They could easily crumble apart again.

    So we got what, 4, 5 threads that are basically all revolving around the tpup troll? Awesome. Doesn't matter how poor his arguments are, and how stupid he is if the whole forum just talks about his threads. Glad we let him stick around. Such great contributions from an obvious troll.

    what I care about and notice, as a person that has watched every single timberwolves game the past 5 years except for 5 games, is that he steps up when he needs to. We dont even get to those clutch situations without ricky, thats all i care about, you can bring up your stats, but the stats don't show the "it" factor ricky has. Ask ANYONE in the media or in the lockerroom and they will tell you he has something special, he makes everyone play at a different level. It doesnt show up on the stat sheet but its there. And it was obvious last night

    I do not suffer fools gladly. If someone is behaving like a fool, they need to be put in their place.

    Also, I just enjoy pointing it out, and backing it up with actual statistical data, that Damian Lillard is a very special player, and also how incredibly mediocre Ricky Rubio is by comparison. Rubio is a rich man's Sergio. He may actually last past his rookie deal. Time will tell. His career will be full of highlight passes on Sports Center, but very little in the way of actual winning. Once Kevin Love bolts for greener pastures that team, which has averaged less than 21 wins for the last five seasons and hasn't made the playoffs in nine years, will be right back here they belong - at the bottom looking up at the Blazers and rest of the division.

    Dude, you're referring to fluff articles. That's where you're opinion of Rubes comes from?

    LOL at dude who thinks fluff pieces are more valuable than quantitative and qualitative statistics.

    (Even going off fluff pieces...... I'm pretty certain there are more of those on Lillard than Rubio. Lillard is getting lots of love these days from the national media.)

    ricky sells tickets, ricky attracts FAs, ricky wins games, lillard stuffs the stat sheet.
    Ricky compares to jason kidd and steve nash

    Is this guy on repeat or what? What was your response to the earlier piece about Chalmers' record versus Rondo et al?

    There seems to be a lot of Minne sports fans on here - which one of you is pedaling?
