Little birdie says contract extension talks between TWolves and point guard Ricky Rubio at standstill.

Walters is a somewhat better connected version of Woeful. A lot of spam, but with a slightly higher batting average....

LMA only became a good player last season. Quality analysis there.

LMA's a very good player, but he was overrated until last season. He was a very bad rebounder until last season and inefficient on the offensive end. He still takes too many long jump shots.

He wasn't any better than the year prior he just gets credit because his team added a defensive C and a bench so he could win. You're judging Rubio based on what happened while he wasn't in the game.

Ok, so Aldridge is still overrated. I agree. Still, he did become a dramatically better defensive rebounder last season.

I'm judging Rubio on his terrible shooting and scoring.

At least you've backed away from the team record rubbish. That's progress.
