The problem is, the Jazz were +24 with Rubio on the bench and -10 with Rubio on the floor.

Oh man, going to single-game +/- to evaluate a player. I guess Gobert is trash because he was -14. They should trade them both while they still have value.

Because Rubio isn't the only former Wolves player in the league?

Does Markannen count? 17 points, 8 board, 1 block tonight.

My point is, this thread will only consist of people complaining about Rubio doing well and why we should have kept him, or Rubio under performing and why we're better off without him. At least until Lavine is playing again.

Only played with the Wolves for a year, but Justin Reed has passed away

Former Ole Miss, NBA star Justin Reed dies of cancer

OXFORD, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
Former Ole Miss and NBA star Justin Reed has died after being diagnosed with cancer three months ago.

35-year-old Reed, a native of Jackson, was battling angiosarcoma, a form of spinal cancer. He played for Provine High School before becoming a star player for the Ole Miss Rebels from 2000 to 2004, leading the SEC in scoring in his final season in Oxford.

He was 5th on the school's all-time scoring list and 6th in rebounds. Reed was the 2001 SEC Freshman and Newcomer of the Year. He was key as the Rebels reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history.

The Boston Celtics selected him in the 2nd Round of the 2004 NBA Draft and he went on to play four seasons in the NBA with Boston and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Rubio just had the first 10-assist game for a Jazz player since 10/18/17

Ricky just outscored Westbrook.

Rubio is always defending Westbrook well.

packforfreedom · Post #96 » by **packforfreedom** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 11:57 am

Utah is the perfect team for him. good pick n roll bigs, very good shooters on the perimeter, defensive minded and unselfish.

You clearly didn't watch the game.

Rubio was key to their win and simply was unlucky with Denver players going on runs or teammates making mistakes when he was on the court. If you read Utah's game post you'll see people's comments.

People saying Rubio is looking so great and still shooting 36 percent and won't be surprised if it drops lol

I'm quite of how Rubio played, he was only really good in the 4th...but he was quite good in the 4th

That said, the Jazz were still +24 with Ricky on the bench. And people are using that to argue Ricky > Teague and that annoys me.

Mmmh...
Aiyä! to Guille_4, supposing you're the one I met at another basket pages.
(And hi to Narf).

Probably we're not talking enough about the most important former T'Wolf/T'Troll:

Spoiler:

Furthermore I consider he should be re-signed.
