Rubio had 2 turnovers.Rubio followed up his 2/8 performance by going 0/9. He was hiding from the ball on offense tonight.
I know Exum is our whipping boy and all, but Rubio has his share of stupid turnovers too.
One was a bad one where he picked up his dribble early in a tough spot and just lost the ball to pressure.
The other was on an alley-oop pass to Gobert.
The first is a bad turnover, it's low reward and due to carelessness.
The 2nd one is a "good" turnover. The reward is high so you live with the risk.
Exum had 3 in 7 minutes. All bad turnovers.
One he just lost to ball pressure and got ripped at a standstill.
The 2nd was when he drove wildly into the lane and threw a pass to no one.
The worst one was when he got a steal then threw an outlet pass to Rubio that wasnt even within 10 feet of him.
The fact is Rubio has a record of playmaking. Exum does not.
