You try coming back from a torn ACL...Just like people giving Love garbage for playing bad with his broken hand. These things take time. Rubio might not be back to himself until next year. It took Al Jefferson and David West an entire season.

The eventual letdown will be all the more heart-breaking seeing them hitting difficult shots in this quarter.

It certainly could be worse. We finally didn't bend over in a 3rd quarter after a lead.

Is sucking. Doesn't suck.


He's been awesome: nine months injury.

Great D to finish off the quarter.

These minutes are golden for Rubio.. playing against a top top Nba team is important for him to test himself.. He is nowhere near the player he was last year, but he will get there.

25 assists so far, lots of good ball movement, and people are hitting their shots aka Love.

4th quarter is going to be huge. We better D up like made and keep getting Pek the ball. Thunder are about to go HAM.

This is true. He's under such a microscopic view from the entire forum that we'll rip him a new one whenever he makes a mistake. If he does something right we barely acknowledge it but still only talk about the bad stuff he does.

End of game.

Was a nice run.
