Hawks at Jazz...or Rudy's Revenge 7pm

Denver is destroying Houston by so much that the Rockets are putting in the scrubs before the 4th quarter. We play them tomorrow and they're on a brutal back to back.
 
Atlanta is impressive... they gonna be a playoff team sooner than later. Wish we had gotten Huerter instead of Allen... dude looks legit but went just ahead of us of course.

I liked what I saw out of prince tonight too.

Rubio plays well against bad teams (and even then not always). Big whoop. We aren't going to be facing Atlanta in the playoffs.
Out of curiosity, since i never noticed a trend of Rubio playing well against bad team (it's seemed the opposite really) I looking at last year's game logs. Ricky's top 10 Game Scores were against: Spurs, Lakers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Pelicans, Spurs, Trailblazers, Timberwolves, Suns, Timberwolves. Really only 1 scrub team on that list.
 
The predisposition against Rubio in this forum borders on the pathological.

It's pretty ridiculous. Guy leads the team with a +30, gets 22-11 on 11 FGA, completely dissects the Hawks' defense and people still won't give him props or will only do so reluctantly, because... you know, he has the audacity to go under the screen against a 29% 3-pt shooter, probably following his coach's orders since Trae Young is much more efficient at the rim and is excellent at getting good looks for his teammates on kickouts and lobs as the defense collapses, and it's not like the Jazz did a great job containing the Hawks in the first half.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to it though. Haters gonna hate, and idiocy runs at an all-time high when the NBA approaches the trade deadline. It's just the way things work.

Do you think he's on the trading block or not? If so why?
 
Rubio is 13 and 6 with a 47% EFG.

Can we not act like he is a fringe all star. He played great last night, doesn’t mean that people who want an upgrade are wrong. I like Rubio a lot he seems like a great guy, but I’m rooting for the team to win. And Conley and Holiday are simply better.
