Not only is this a career-high performance for Raul Neto, this is REALLY a career-high performance for Raul Neto. He smashed his old high-water mark of 15, smashed it like a big Brazilian booty, scoring 22 in the absence of Ricky Rubio. I’m looking at Neto right now, and I’m thinking “do the Jizz even need Rubio?”, because Neto just scored more than Rubio usually does while getting the one assist that is now typical for him. Not to mention how he’s somehow even better looking. I know, it’s blasphemous to say such a thing. But it’s true. Neto looks like a man, while Rubio still looks like a boy who drew a beard on his face with a sharpie.
I’m really happy for Neto after this game, really super stoked, but I can’t help but be a little P.O.ed that he’s taking minutes away from my main man Nate Wolters. When I saw that Rubio was going to be out, I was thinking 10, maybe 20 minutes for my favorite white American PG, but no. By playing so good, Neto STOLE playing time that Wolters DESERVED. It’s not fair. 3 measly minutes? I watched this whole game for that? Screw off.
