Last time he returned against Mavs too, maybe is not a coincidence.

Timberwolves games will finally be less painful to watch once again.

Thats great to hear. A guy with that much touch on the ball should put as much arc as he can

He is not the best and never will be but he is one of the most charismatic and unforgettable players ever.

His confidence shooting and attacking the rim was awesome.

Love the quick release and form on his J. Its like watching a different player.

Yes, his releasу is much quicker.
If Rubio plays high PnR with bigman who can set good screen then either roll with good timing to the basket or shoot with confidence, it can be lethal weapon. I'm still impressed by Rubio wrap around pass from the top of 3pt area to rolling Young. It was a thing of beauty.

What's the meaning of this Zgoda's tweet? Why is Akana following Ricky?

jarinn is one of Rubio's agents according to http://m.1500espn.com/pages/sportswire. ... ubio100614

Maybe he just enjoys watching he's just checking up on his most exciting client.

With Ricky back, Young and Lavine run like sprinters.
I think they also want to be in the highlights.

If my math is correct, if Rubio would have been playing in those 42 games that number would change to -36
