Funny how you don’t hear anyone squealing about Rubio being injury prone ....

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

but those guys dont play balls to the floor defense, watching DM45 match up against conley up close just one possession wore me out! Dude lays it all out, im firmly in the camp of not switching DM to PG

You can cross match him with whoever... most pgs struggle against bigger defenders... so against the Grizz for example put DM on Temple.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why increase Neto's minutes more than a nominal amount?

I see no downside of playing Mitchell 20+ minutes at the point.

We are too shorthanded. Regardless of what position DM plays Neto will need to play 20-25 minutes. He deserves it... shooting well and can create a bit. Defensive matchups are honestly the biggest issue with him.

I’m not sure Rubio will be out a super long time... wasn’t hopping on one foot CO style... wasn’t comfortable but didn’t seem like he was dying... he just knew it was a hamstring cuz he’s been there.

We will see tomorrow... him And Thabo both going for MRIs... good news is DL had a two for one at the MRI machine... all savings will be reinvested in the program.

Rubio is going to be out until at least All-Star. You can't rush a hamstring.

Good news... basically what some of the smarter posters guessed would be the diagnosis.. hopefully no setbacks doe (like CP3)

This is really good news. Rubio could have easily missed a month or more.

This is good news, but let's be realistic - it would be unwise to rush Rubio back. If this says 2 weeks, I would wait at least 3. The All Star Break is 5 weeks away 2/14-2/20.

If we want the best for Rubio and the team, I almost think we need to shelve him until after the All Star Break unless he is 100% no doubt 100%. I know that seems like a long time, but his health is key for the stretch after the break. We have 16 games between now and then, but we don't need to bring him back unless we are seriously struggling.

[QUOTE = "LoPo, post: 1696973, miembro: 4667"] Esta es una buena noticia, pero seamos realistas, sería imprudente apresurar a Rubio. Si esto dice 2 semanas, esperaría al menos 3. El All Star Break está a 5 semanas de distancia 2 / 14-2 / 20.

Si queremos lo mejor para Rubio y para el equipo, casi creo que tenemos que dejarlo en paz hasta después de All Star Break, a menos que sea 100%, sin duda, 100%. Sé que parece ser mucho tiempo, pero su salud es clave para el estiramiento después de la pausa. Tenemos 16 juegos entre ahora y entonces, pero no necesitamos traerlo de vuelta a menos que estemos luchando seriamente. [/ QUOTE]

vs Magic
vs Lakers
vs Bulls
vs Pistons
@ Clippers
vs Blazers
vs Nuggets Jan 23rd This one is in 15 days. Exum and Rubio might be back.
vs Wolves
@ Wolves 2 consecutive. A chance to really put the Wolves down. Huge.
@ Blazers A chance to catch up with the Blazers. Huge.

Ankle and harmstring are dangerous and require patience or they just don't heal, but at the same time we face playoff candidates. I think they will rush back but play limited minutes with Neto.

Uh, what? You want to create this perception that I'm some Rubio hater. I've said numerous times that I think he is valuable to us. Sure, I would trade him for an upgrade, but I wouldn't trade him just to trade him. Ideally, we keep him this offseason in a bench role because he is such a great guy, teammate and sometimes can get hot.

But I'm still not sure what you are saying, but let me say - his time out should be good for you and bad for me because the Jazz could struggle mightily without Rubio.

However, if we put up the same type performances without Rubio AND Exum, I think that actually doesn't bode well for Rubio at all. So you are in a weird situation. You almost want Utah to lose and play pretty badly over the next few weeks because if we win and actually look great, Rubio's expiring looks like a pretty darn good trade chip before the deadline....

Sorry to tell you Rubio is not going to start next year. It's the start of dmx era to begin.

[QUOTE = "LoPo, post: 1696987, miembro: 4667"] Uh, ¿qué? Quieres crear esta percepción de que soy un odio de Rubio. He dicho muchas veces que creo que es valioso para nosotros. Claro, lo cambiaría por una mejora, pero no lo cambiaría solo por cambiarlo. Idealmente, lo mantenemos esta temporada baja en un puesto de banco porque es un gran tipo, compañero de equipo y, a veces, puede ponerse caliente.

Pero aún no estoy seguro de lo que estás diciendo, pero déjame decirte que su tiempo fuera debería ser bueno para ti y malo para mí porque el Jazz podría luchar con fuerza sin Rubio.

Sin embargo, si presentamos las mismas interpretaciones de tipo sin Rubio AND Exum, creo que en realidad no es un buen augurio para Rubio. Así que estás en una situación extraña. Casi quieres que Utah pierda y juegue bastante mal en las próximas semanas porque si ganamos y en realidad nos vemos bien, el vencimiento de Rubio parece un chip de intercambio bastante bueno antes de la fecha límite ...

You're wrong; I'm not that kind of fan; I want the Jazz to win all the games and for Exum to play very well and help the team. That goes in Rubio's favor, he's a team man. Nobody will take away the position of PG holder while he is in Jazz, simply because he is a better basketball player. Do you want to bet?
