Ricky was great at the end of last nights game. A pretty big part of why he looked so good though was because Mo Williams was beyond awful right before that.


This sentence is awful. Just flat out terrible logic.

Rubio looked "so good" because he came in and played "so good". The Wolves were floundering when he checked in at around 5 minutes to go and he lead them on a decisive run to finish the game and secure a tough victory.

It doesn't matter what position on the court was playing badly when he came in. It's the fact that he came into a close game, where the momentum was against his team, and he conducted a symphony on the court for the last 5 minutes of the game.

He didn't play well because it was graded on a curve and Mo was so bad. It was flat out great play, regardless of how anyone played before he got in the game.

We get it. You don't like Rubio.

It doesn't mean you have to start making sh*t up.

P.S. Please get an avatar, because if I see it first, I can avoid your mostly terrible takes.


Preach. You're being a bit cold blooded tho lol. He just kind of doesn't have the same perspective as you do. Doesn't mean you're wrong tho.

This isn't the first time he's said some troll/Skip Bayless style nonsense here.

Tough love is needed.

I don't think so. Rubio was great at the end of the game against the Nets because he (and the other starters) were rested after being in the bench until the last 6 minutes.
With Adelman he would have played 3 last minutes of the third quarter and the whole fourth, so he would have fumbled some passes and missed his last shots at crunch time.

Don't know what games were you watching with Adelman as a coach...but he didn' play much on the 4th. At least last year.

Jason Kidd was pretty clearly a top 5 player at his position and a terrible scorer.

Scorn him now, but you'll love some love when he resigns here next season. It will be the crime of the century, with Cleveland playing the hapless victim.

You thought Klove wanted out of minnesota and was willing to sign with any other team long term?

Arguably top 5 PG of all time.

Well Kidd was also a better passer, rebounder, defender, and a better shooter, but besides that yea they are the same

1. Kidd is better then Rubio
2. Scoring is not overrated
3. Rubio is a bad offensive player

Rubio is not a bad offensive player. Even with his inability to score efficiently he's an outstanding passer with great vision so he's a positive offensively.

No one is arguing that Rubio is better than Kidd. Jason Kidd was brought up as an example of a guy who's an all-time great point guard that wasn't a good scorer. He was brought up because it's a fitting example that happens to annihilate your argument.

Don't bother.

Someone that is constantly given logical information that completely contradicts their argument and then keep arguing the same point and flawed logic...is a troll (or a moron).

Neither is worth continuing to argue with (he's in a feedback loop).

He's trolling, he doesn't believe what he's saying he just wants to annoy people until they're angry and then giggle because he "got one". All his posts are the same deal. Try and annoy people for a reaction.

I don't think it's trolling, there's lots of people with similar opinions. I don't they're right, but that doesn't mean it's not their legitimate take.

It's the way he goes about it that makes me think that. He's baiting IMHO, but doing it subtly. Could be wrong.

Come on, you haven't made any kind of point in a lot of your previous posts. If your just going to post insults and name calling, then who really is the troll?
