Official Rubio Support thread

Another good game, Rubio was the floor general tonight, and Mitchell, my goodness...

The Jazz have been playing some of their best team ball since Rudy came back. Is it just a coincidence that this also happened with Hood injured?

People were asking the same thing when Gobert was out and he had that big 6 game win streak earlier this season.

I think it's more about Rudy coming back but I don't know, maybe Hood is disruptive in some way? The offense tonight was really flowing.

Some were spewing straight blasphemy!

The arc on his shot looks all of a sudden way way better, nowhere near as flat

Great observation. He did have a "frozen rope" three near the end of the 1st half, but generally, I've seen that very nice arc and follow through on most of his attempts. I would definitely not sell low on him...unless it's a guarantee Jazz are maxing Gordon or Jabari and need to clear the cap space.

I wish a trade could be found for Burks. His contract is the biggest impediment to the Jazz' cap space for next summer.

It's not a given that Rubio can't improve his shooting at this stage in his career. Did anyone expect Ingles to be one of the best shooters in the NBA? Look at what Joe did from the day he was picked up on waivers to now. Night and day. If Rubio can be a consistent upper 30's shooter from 3PT range, he's a keeper.

There’s been reports that he’s been working with the Jazz coaching staff to improve his shooting consistency. Hopefully, this is just the start of it.

Upper 30's? If he can do that he is an All-Star PG.

Oh, and add Booker to the list of stars Rubio has shutdown lately. He started the game on Booker, and played mostly against him when he was on the floor. I dont think he ever scored while Rubio was guarding him.

Rubio has been solid these last couple weeks. He still throws a bad pass that's infuriating every now and then, but wow have those declined. Hats off to him for his effort.

Best news? Rubio and Gobert are dancing on pick & rolls and it's working. Months ago that play was an automatic turnover. Add the perimeter defense of Mitchell and Rubio to Gobert's rim protection and we've got something going. BTW, can we keep Favors?
