Very nice. Seeing all the plays that led to layups/dunks. We missed him so much in the houston series.

I love how often in this video you have Rudy with a decent position in the paint occupying the defenders but Ricky reads the play unfolding and sees Favors or Donovan or Joe in a better position and it leads to an easy dunk or a three. It's a testament to both Ricky's decision making and Rudy's impact on the game. Teams are just terrified of him around the rim, on both ends of the floor. He gets into the paint and puts his hand up and the defense just falls apart on a lot of those plays in the video.

Rudy is a 7'1", 250 lbs. monster and Derrick is a 6'10", 250 lbs. monster. Neither care who they run over to get the ball. I would piss myself in that situation as well.

Well you know adult incontinence isn't the stigma it used to be, I found this photo on ONELOVE's facebook page.

That is what I'd guess Melothejazzkiller looks like.

It's cool and all that, but this compilation looks pedestrian compared to the ones he had in Minny. Those were the bombs.

the ones he had in Minny may have been the bomb but his teams sucked and they were losers. Give me pedestrian ruthless simple efficient passing in a winning culture any day of the week

A Boozer reference would have made it a little funnier, BP.

I love the "dimes" where it's a pass then 3 dribbles, a spin move, fake, then layup. Love those home cookin' stats.

Although I admit to being surprised by Rubio's good (but not great) outside shooting last year and expect him to improve a little, I think some of you guys are predicting waaay too many points for him. First of all, for him to average between 17 and 19 he would have to take between 14 an 16 shots per game (in contrast to the 10.7 that he took last season). Who is going to shoot less so he can increase his number of shots? Or is he simply going to play more minutes? I remember that there was some concerning about his body holding up during last season, so I don't think Snyder will allow him to play more than, let's say, 32 mpg (in contrast to 29.3 last season). Also, everybody is expecting Mitchell to take a slightly bigger offensive role next season, which makes it even more difficult for Rubio to have an increased role as well. I expect about the same 13 points per game from him in about the same 29 minutes per game, taking slightly less shots per game and hitting slightly better percentages both from the field and from 3 point range. I think his assists may increase a little, though, to around 6.5 per game.
