It's nitpicky? It's facts. Rubio has a long history of playing poorly in the 1st half of the season and well in the 2nd half. This year he started playing well earlier than usual. It's an improvement.

Not sure why Rubio thinks it totally chill to jack up 17 shots while coming back from injurt AND starting off ice cold.
I have faith Dante will improve his finishing the same way hes improved and put together other areas of his game recently.

Who else you want taking the shots?
Mitchell, who was also ice cold or Ingles who didnt make a shot all game? Someone has to take the shots. You cant always gets your preferred shot out of an offensive set.

Left on the draft board.
Ingles must have said some **** to Kawhi, or he was really pissed at the refs. I don't watch a ton of Kawhi, but I've never seen him that ****ing aggressive attacking. Dude was unreal.

Jesus christ dude get off it. It's obvious Donovan has a much higher likelihood of becoming a better player than Rubio does. Thus people are more likely to cut him some slack. That's the only point I was making. Yes I agree Ricky can play better for stretches than he has lately, but there's a definite ceiling to what you can expect from him. There just isn't another level to his game that we haven't seen.

That’s the Maddening game to watch.
1. Refs weren’t consistent in how they officiated the game. Raps got several phantom calls, There were many times raps were able to be much more physical with the jazz.
2. Leonard got whatever he wanted.
3. Once again the jazz couldn’t hit an open shot all game. Don’t ask me how the jazz stayed in this game.
4. I think Mitchell went 7-27 or something in that ball park. If he shoots better maybe the jazz win.
5. Rubio was none existent in the first half. Looked like he was on his way to another 1-11 game for a while. I give Ingles somewhat of a pass, as he was guarded by Leonard. He does that to most players, but he still missed all his threes.
6. Crowder was 5-7 from three. The rest of the team made 4 god damn ****ing 3’s, 4!!!
7. Exum went back to missing a bunch of layups.
That was depressing, I was going to post the first three, but came up with four more as I was typing.

He was also playing with our starters so this is really a mute point.
Rubio took a ton of BAD shots in that his shot was clanking so hard that it resulted in an easy fast break the other way. And he just keeps taking them, the more he misses the more he takes. His search dribble didn’t produce. The def dares him to shoot when he’s this bad and that clogged everything for the rest of the team.
It seems like I have it in for Rubio (and maybe I do) but his dr jeckle and mr Hyde crap has got to stop. It would be ok if it was a bad game in ten but this season it’s a good game in ten. Not going to fly for a team trying to contend.
