his crappy shooting has nothing to do with his knee.

Minnesota would trade Rubio for Lillard yesterday. And not just because they're desperate to take Portland players.

lol, no we wouldnt hahahahahahahahaha
lillard is a garbage defender and has a terrific supporting cast
if ricky played for portland he would average 15 apg

terrific?! Outside of LaMarcus, there really isn't much of a supporting cast.

and to bring up defense as though you're making a good point (Rubio is not known for defense..or shooting) is sad.


just go ahead and post the picture and get it over with.

ricky actually is know for his defense
batum/wes/hickson/aldridge all playing 30+ minutes next to lillard is better than stiemsma/gelabale/ridnour which it was for a long time
and then pek/ak/derrick williams when somewhat healthy

If only minny picked the other 30 first round lotto pick point guards instead of Rubio. Maybe they would have a winning record.

And we would also be 11-60 because rubio is that much of a liability on offense.

They might make it to 30 wins for the first time in recent memory...something love could never make happen

Baby steps :lol:
 
Rubio and Lillard are like the opposite extremes of the PG continuum. Like Jason Kidd vs. Isiah Thomas.

One thing I worry about if we do go after Pekovic is how much he benefits from playing with Rubio.

I wonder what Batum thinks these days, given that a supposed reason for him saying he wanted to go to Minny was to play with Rubio. It's got to occur to him once in a while when he watches Lillard go one-on-one.

Maybe he's thinking, "Damn, I'm glad this rook can step up and take the heat off me not being able to score with a bad wrist. I'm sure glad I don't have to count on Rubio to do that."

Go Blazers

After we lost 6 in a row? Jeez, Nic, way to be a self-obsessed asshole. Also, he might want to check the stats over the last ten games:

It's a combination of Rubio rounding into form from his injury and Lillard being exhausted after playing too many minutes, but Rubio has been playing better than Lillard recently (as he should, being the more experienced NBA player).

The good news is, Lillard gets more blocks!
 
Why don't you compare their stats for the month of March
 
Rubio's ORTG is 100 and his OWS is 0.6, compared to 108 and 4.6 for Damian.

Rubio ain't shit.

I'd love to see how he did on a good team who was actually taken seriously by the good teams they play against.
 
Good news would be that with Rudbio instead of Lillard, we'd have NO ONE that can drive and finish.

Would that be the Ty Lawson that your franchise drafted and then gave away? The one who's got a top five PER in the sample that you picked especially to favor Rubio?
 
It's a shame he has to come here to talk about the twolves, instead of their own forum or section.
 
weird, im talking rubio in a thread dedicated to rubio not started by me in a portland forum and im called obsessed :crazy:

Well, you are like the other minnesota trolls who came here, oblivious to the fact we can see your IP address. you first came in as a Miami Heat fan (avatar and signature file with pictures related to miami) and then all the sudden you became a Wolves fan with Rubio avatar and some odd...I'm assuming Non related tattoo?

Yeah, this thread was lame to begin with. But WE know it, based on who started it. Most of us joked about it, because we knew it was done to piss off rubio honks.

Why should you care what Portland fans say about a player on your team, in our own forum? I honestly don't give a crap what Minnesota fans, Laker fans or any other fans say about any Blazer.
