-12 +/- also. They lost by 22. So he had a higher - over 48 minutes than the average on the team.
 
:dunno:

This is an awesome pass. Too bad he couldn't dunk it.

I couldn't give two shits about Rubio but 7 Assists and 2 Turnovers is nothing to sneeze at. I would take that Assist to Turnover rate from Lillard any day of the week.

Would you also take the 0 points on FG% = .000 any day of the week in a 22-point loss?

For the season, in 34 games Damian Lillard is averaging 6.5 AST and 3.1 TOV That's an AST:TOV ratio of 2.10

In 7 games, this seson, Ricky Rubio is averaging 5.0 AST and 2.3 TOV. That's an AST:TOV ration of 2.17

So, Lillard has a slight edge in this stat and is doing it as starter for a team with a winning record. Passing is supposedly Rubio's biggest strength, yet his AST:TOV ratio is worse than the rookie Lillard's.

Plus, Rubio has yet to score in double figures this season. In fact, he's been held scoreless in 3 of the 7 games he's played. He is averaging 3.6 PPG on .208 FG%. And Minnesota is 3-4 in the 7 games Rubio has played.

His other supposed strength is that he makes his teammates better. Wrong! According to 82games.com Rubio's NET on court/of court is -9.1. Which is why he can't beat out Luke Ridenour for the starting PG spot on .500 Minnesota team.

And, by comparison, Lillard's net on court/of court is +11.4. So, Rubio HURTS his team's production by 9.1 points per 48 minutes and Lillard HELPS his team by 11.4 points per 48. That's a difference of 20.5 points per 48 minutes in Lillard's favor.

BNM

Of course Lillard is better at almost everything (if not everything) than Rubio. No one cares about Rubio yet you guys feel the need to keep bringing him up. If he had a good game there wouldn't even be a post in here.

Did you watch that youtube clip I posted? I know he's not a good PG, but that shit is harlem Globetrotters worthy.
 
Why is he even playing? He's clearly not ready. His lateral movement is seriously on par with Kurt Thomas.

Great move, Kahn.

They "literally" guaranteed fans (specifically Season-ticket holders) the playoffs this year so they rushed him back and will rush Love back again to hold out any hope.

That's the real question. I think Rubio was ridiculously overhyped, and being on this board/community, where we had posters saying he would bring a title to Portland as a rookie if only the Blazers traded LMA or Roy for him, helped shape that opinion, but when I watch him this year, he is clearly hobbled. I give him credit for trying to play, but he's hurting the team, and he is not as bad as he has shown to be this season.

I just saw Love is out at least 8 weeks. The only guarantee is that Kahn will be fired after the season, if not before it ends.
 
I couldn't care less about Rubio. I just like to jerk around the idiot Minniepup homers.


Go Blazers
 
3 points/3 assists/4 turnovers tonight in 22 minutes.

He isn't healthy. He's not very good when healthy, but clearly he is playing with injuries that are making him look like a D-league player.
 
The rubes are admitting Rubio.is not a max.player.

They said they would sign him for 9 or 10 million per though.

They should just sign Sergio for 3.5 million a year. A cheaper Spaniard PG that has dazzling passes and cant shoot.
 
When Rubio's knee heals up he's going to be a very good player ... definitely not a scorer, but he'll be good nonetheless at everything else you could ask from a point guard.

the we have one player with touch inside (pek) and no one who can shoot the three. hurts his assist numbers, and hes obviously not the same guy he was last year, but he will get there. and we only had 3 guards yesterday, so that sucked. and probably 2mrw.

He is not ready to play at the level he should hence he was rushed back as he needs more time to heal and get better.

:lol: you obviously dont watch the games or understand the situation. Its mental, his knee is fully healed. :lol: SlyPokerDog. he himself has said that he is weary to attempt to finish at the rim because of his knee. Even with that i'd take him over ridnour any and every day.
And you think we are pushing him back, yet he is still on a minute restriction and adelman/porter have been slow to push his minutes far from 20. He has been allowed to go 24.
:lol: SlyPokerDog

I remember people saying that about Oden all the time.
 
Rushing him back doesn't mean you would play him heavy minutes. He hasn't show he deserves heavy minutes yet.

I think considering you came here under a nickname that was meant to trick us into thinking you were a Blazers fan (which fooled no one), and are part of a group of fans who came here mostly because of a signing over the summer that we said wasn't going to happen, that you might not want to start throwing stones at the "expertness" of a fanbase.

KAHN IS AN IDIOT, LET BATUM WALK, HES NOT WORTH IT :lol:
 
Some fans were like that, not all.

The butthurt is so strong.

Losing out on Batum, who's playing great, and the team heading for the lotto -- the countdown is on for Love to bolt.

The Wolves WILL get Hibbert'd with Pek this summer.

I smell a total rebuild for the Wolves.

I have to give props to Rubio -- he vastly improved his shooting and is now shooting a blistering 21% (<---I'm not being sarcastic)
 
to look back and think: Kahn had the #5 and #6 and #19 pick in the draft. He selected Rubio, Flynn and Lawson. He traded away Lawson for the pick that became Babbitt, who became Webster.

Do you think the franchise would've been better with, say, Rubio, Steph Curry and Taj Gibson? Or Curry, Jennings and DeJuan Blair?

Ouch
