Official Rubio Support thread

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!")?
 
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.
 
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%

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.

Last season, January 1st until the end (47 games):
200/483 FG 40/124 3PT 191/212 FT
41 FG% 32 3PT% 90 FT%

Before that, he'd been awful, around 35 FG% and 28 3pt%
 
I waited what felt like a long time to admit my feeling that Rubio wasn't going to work out. I never once questioned his desire, his passion for the game, his drive, though. And now that he has been playing so spectacularly, those traits mean just as much. My hat is off to Rubio, and I hope he keeps up the excellent play.
 
I don't think he will keep this up forever, but he's always been great from midrange, but if he can shoot it long term at 35% that would work great

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.

I don't know man his TS% is still .533 for the season while Dante is currently at a cozy .630. (obviously small sample size etc etc) One of those is elite and one is well below league average. His advanced stats do not look great. He has played pretty damn well recently, but overall I don't think it's time to crown him or call out some Dante Bias. What Dante has been producing (bad game last night imo) has been pretty crazy, and he is also still a raw product with an elite athletic profile who needs tons of development.

Let's just be realistic. The situations are completely different.

I don't give a damn about this Rubio / Dante feud, but if you're going to compare both you should use Dante's career numbers, not a 148 minute sample, which is ridiculously small. And for as crappy as Rubio's career .509 TS% is, Dante's at an even crappier .499. So let's be realistic: they're both crappy scorers until proven otherwise, at least for a full season (though Rubio was at near league average efficiency last season, and if he keeps shooting well these last few games, he will be this year too, horrific Nov-Dec streak and all).
