Many of these 76 fouls were in defense. In FIBA basketball, fouls drawn add the steal stats, and he is already the Feb steals leader.

Just so I can be sure, I'm not the ONLY one still watching Wolves games simply b/c of Rubio. Correct?

If it weren't for Rubio, I wouldn't watch. This season's just been too depressing. Thank God for Rubio. I go into games now not even expecting a win. I'm just ready for Love and Bud to get back and hopefully see what could have been for at least 15 games.

Depending on what happens in the offseason with personnel moves and the health of key players, I fully expect Rubio to go for about 13 ppg, 11 apg, 5 rpg and 2.5 spg next season, at least.

With the Min completely healthy i doubt Rubio gets 5 rpg, around 3-3.5 is more likely. He's a top 5 rebounder for pgs but playing with Love/Pek/Ak is going to hurt his numbers. Other than that I think those numbers are spot on. If he keeps his current steal rate up he may get hit the 3 spg.

Je‏@JerryZgoda
Rubio said he came to the locker room after 3rd qtr because of scare w/ that left knee, said 1st time it felt "unstable," says he's fine now

They needs to perform an MRI on his knee, or even open it up and see if anything is wrong. Even if he has to miss 2 weeks after it. If his knee goes doen again it would be a catastrophe.

What do you guys think about making Shved the backup point guard for the second unit?

We most likely will have two more SG's on our roster by next year, while getting rid of ridnour/ or both.

Honestly i like shveds length as a point guard, and he likes coming off the bench. He also gets pushed around too much by other twos in the league right now.

It´s quite weird how constant those figures are. Minimum variance in each of the categories. It´s like there´s no influence in who is playing against

Those will be his scoring numbers next year. He's a 15 point guy. I refuse to believe otherwise.

I posted this on the GB but thought it would be good to have it here, too. Rubio's mothly splits for the season to date:

I think Rubio being forced to carry more of the scoring load is a blessing.It will pay dividends next year and beyond.When the team is fully healthy he's gonna have to prove to defenses that he's a scoring threat out there - not just a guy who looks to pass all the time, but a guy who can and will make you pay if you give him too much space.He's really gaining confidence from this stretch of games and fully learning that he can score at this level if need be.Ideally, he'll never be counted on to be a big scorer, so he can concentrate on what he does best: run the entire offense, but 15+ points from him would really hurt teams.

Hey guys, this topic is going down and down as the game of Rikcy goes up and up.

If you are interested on a recap of the games of Ricky Rubio (and other Spanish NBA players) you can check here.

http://crakoli.blogspot.com/

It is centered on the games of Spanish NBA players.
Currently Ricky Rubio, Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, José Manuel Calderón and Victor Claver.

The guy seems to to not "like" Serge Ibaka as a full Spanish (he has double Spanish and Congolese nationality) because there are only a few of his games. Neither does he consider full Spanish players with a Spanish Grandpa (like our beloved JJ "Jordan" Barea). Well not that it does matter.

Anyhow, ALL games of RR9 are summarized there. Enjoy them.
