Ricky Rubio has 73 assists to 9 TOs over his last 7 games. He's second in the league with 9.2 APG. He's posting close to a ridiculous 5 AST/TO ratio. He's on pace to become the first player ever to average over 12 PPG and 8 APG with less than 2 TOPG in a season. He's +97 on the season (18...

Memphis has no reason to take on Exum when they now have Delon Wright who has been far better for them than X has ever been in Utah. Plus he's not ded, and he has a better contract. Also, fortunately for the Grizz Chris Wallace is finally done as their GM, so unless Zach Kleiman turns out to...

Dude, you're so clueless that it's funny. Please tell me your horrible takes come from not watching the games. That would make it stupid for you to give an opinion, but at least it'd justify being so awfully wrong every time you open your mouth. Rubio's taken 41% of his shots under tight or...

That last minute sucked, but at least I'm glad I've watched the last of Jazzfanz pissing on Ricky Rubio, who's been far and away the best and most consistent Jazz player this series, just like he was great last year against OKC. 15.4 points, 8.6 assists, 2.4 steals, extremely low TO%, by far...

He's a 23-yo multimillionaire who won't be able to play for a couple of months. It sucks for any athlete -whether pro or amateur- to be away from the sport, but it's not like he's got any serious condition threatening his life or like he hasn't faced more severe injuries before. And it's not...

Come on guys, make an effort. It's Malcolm *Brogdon*. And how do you want a guy on your team and not even know his name?

I have mad respect for the Blazers. Yet another excellent season with only one real star on the roster, and one that's challenged defensively, especially with a backcourt teammate like McCollum. Sure, CJ can score and Nurk is having a great year, but the for the most part the roster is built on...

LOL. My bad, I didn't notice you were quoting Fish and I thought you were replying to my last message.

I feel you, it's unusual to see two people debating a basketball topic in a reasonable manner and with more a than few one-liners or short answers. But it's also kind of refreshing, don't you think? :D

I literally don't follow Twitter other than for the trade deadline and on draft night so I can be up to date with the last rumors and news those days, so I can't speak for how Rubio is viewed there. I can however talk about the criticism he receives from other fanbases as I follow quite a few...

Not if we are comparing relative to how much people talk about them, and not just because of his shooting (which is the constant knock on Rubio). Wall has been under a lot of scrutiny this year mainly because of his contract, the amount of losing, the lack of self-accountability while being...

Sure, they're sometimes critiziced, they're all as inefficient right now and some of them have been for all or most of their careers, yet none of them gets the heat that Ricky does, not even close. To the point that despite their struggles, they're still thought of as scorers, all of them, while...

What do Rusell Westbrook, Donovan Mitchell, Victor Oladipo, Jamal Murray, Bogdan Bogdanovic, DeMar DeRozan, John Wall, Gary Harris, Eric Gordon, Dennis Schröder and Terry Rozier have in common? They're all guards known as shooters and/or scorers whose TS% is less than 0.009 from Rubio's (some...

True dat.

It takes two to tango, though. I would be surprised if Rubio wanted to re-sign next summer and most likely find himself in the same position within the next 6 to 18 months, with a front office that does not think he's good enough.
