Official Rubio Support thread

[Jazzta]

Rubio just completed one of the best road trips of the post-S&M era. Where are all the whiney JFC bitches right now?

I'm waving at them as they get smaller, as the playoff train speeds up.

You should gloat. You were annoying as hell when he was sucking it up and you stuck by him. You earned the right to crow now that he’s playing great.

The thing with Ricky is even when he's sucking ***, he's playing his *** off. As a fan, you can always appreciate that.

No doubt about that. Especially on the defensive end. If you're a poor dribbler, Rubio is going to make your life miserable.

Anyone good at editing pictures? Can anyone stick Rubio's face on Rufio's body from Hook (the scene we're they're all chanting "Rufio!")?

 

[Sugarless]

Somebody had to bump this thread.

Nevermind the different role from what he's done most of his life, he's still amazing and on a tear right now.

 

[Et tu Brute]

I wonder if the Jazz can really be beat if Rubio keeps this up?
I mean, no team has ever had to defend his shot..
This is crazy. Crazy good.

I posted this in the game-thread, but this is the right place for it:
Rubio was famous for being a terrible shooter who got hot for stretches. So what's the difference? The length of those stretches:
First seasons, they lasted a couple of weeks. The following seasons they were 1 month, maybe 2. Last couple of seasons, they were post all-star break.
Now, it's almost like he's had a season with good shooting %s lowered by a bad stretch: november and december.

Since January 1st, basically half a season: 188/428 FG 55/133 3PT 127/138 FT

44 FG% 41 3PT% 92 FT%

I can't decide if Ricky is the next Steph Curry or if Steph was the first Ricky Rubio.

His assists and points per game are way up too ys Oct/Nov/Dec..

Rubio is still undervalued in this forum, or little appreciated; If Exum were playing at his level, there would be hundreds of comments of support. But it's fine, he'll turn the sock.

How does the compare to last season during the same stretch?

I love what Rubio is doing but it seems to be a theme for him. Rough first half, great post all Star.

Frankly I am okay with that assuming he keeps it up for the playoffs.
