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 the best +/- out of the starting 5 this series (Crowder instead of Favors) and a leader on the floor who wouldn't go down without a fight even in G2. The team felt it almost every time he went to the bench. And yet reading this board and watching so-called Jazz fans nitpick on each and every miss, you'd think he was crap, when he's been the guy with the biggest heart, most hustle and the one who's found the holes in the Rockets defense time and again to keep the Jazz in the games. Only Royce O'Neale (kudos to him, he's been great overall) and Favors to a lesser extent have been equally succesful and positive for this team, while the incredibly overrated Joe Ingles had another disappearing act, Donovan Mitchell (whom I love, but won't pretend he's a star *yet*) showed once again he's not ready to lead a team and less of all as a PG / main playmaker (you gotta be either blind or extremely dumb to still think otherwise) and Rudy kept giving away possesions with his weak hands and lack of coordination (I won't go into his utter lack of offensive game because he makes up for it on D, but his fumbling the ball is just too costly).
Direct your frustrations elsewhere, because Ricky Rubio has been great once again in the playoffs and he's proven he's a winner who unlike others never gives up. And rejoice, because most probably starting next fall you're either going to see Donovan Mitchell, The Walking Ded or a mediocre starting PG in the East like Tomas Satoransky "lead" this team. We'll see how the Jazz turn into a real contender when your wishes come true.
