I'm happy to see @rickyrubio9 running again after not being able to for so long. Everyday closer to get back on the court playing basketball

Is it just me or has he fixed his shooting mechanics slightly? Now it looks like a textbook shooting form. Not sure if that was the case last year. Either way, it looks smooth. And sexy.

I posted in rubechat about Rubio's mechanics looking better. Glad to see others are also noticing this. Gone is the flamenco-legs-for-arms release and present is a much more over the shoulder wrist-flick release a la Terry Porter. He's got to be his shooting coach. Has to. There's no need for TP to be there passing to Rubio unless he's working on form with him.

This makes me giddy.

His shot is more fluid. If that is his free throw form, he doesn't have that little pause at the waist anymore like he did his rookie year.

I think the key is the left foot, right now it seem he put it under his shoulder (the way it should be) it looks def. better.

Anyone else getting excited about this seasson? XD

I'm watching Dallas-Barcelona on Spanish TV. The announcer interview to Rubio's father and he said that Ricky could start to play at middle December. He said that Ricky is surprised with the awesome form of Brandon Roy.

It's getting tougher and tougher to hold my expectations as low as a longtime Wolves fan should.
