Ricky Rubio is currently shooting a career-best 38.7% from the field. He’s also attempting a career-low 6.6 field goals per game. The two might be connected if he’s being pickier with his shots and only taking ones he thinks he can make. Unrelated to those two stats is his ETL (Eyelash Thickness Level) which is…

Ricky Rubio 22 Points/6 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2017)
Prior to tonight’s games, there had been 114 instances of a player hitting six or more threes. All the expected names are there, and there aren’t any really unexpected names there barring Rashad Vaughn. Depending on your opinion of Vaughn (which really shouldn’t be very high, unless you’re me, dammit Kidd give him more minutes),…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 18 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2017)
DTB’S FUN* FACT** OF THE DAY***: Shabazz Muhammad is shooting nearly 57% on three-pointers in the month of January. For a guy who has always been regarded as a passable shooter and nothing more, this is pretty crazy. He’s doing it on low volume: just thirty attempts, or a little over a two a game,…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 14 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/24/2017)
If you want to take a walk down memory lane, go watch the highlights from Ricky Rubio’s Timberwolves debut. Talk about a blast from the past! There was so much more flair to his game back then. Part of it was his hair flying all over the place (Pistol Pete anyone???????), but more of it…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 20 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2017)
There are apparently some trade rumors surrounding Shabazz Muhammad, I guess because he’s not the player he was supposed to be coming out of high school, or something? Whatever the Wolves’ secret desires are for trading this guy, I’ve created a list of possible tradestinations (that’s trade destinations for people unfamiliar with my hip lingo)…
Read MoreKris Dunn 10 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2017)
It’s a good thing that Kris Dunn didn’t manage to grab two more boards and get another assist, because otherwise that would’ve been the worst triple-double EVER. In the history of forever. And not just because it would’ve been 10-10-10, objectively the worst statline you can possibly have for a trip-dub, but because most of…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 21 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (1/17/2017)
This vid has way too many free throws. That’s all there is to it. Just setting expectations here: Ricky Rubio’s 21 points were less about him and more about how Tony Parker couldn’t stop slapping his arms. He hit some regular in-game jumpers, but those are outnumbered greatly by standstill flat-footed jumpers from the free-throw…

“Dear diary, Today the team did a charity event at a local hospital. I am always pleased when we visit the sick children. It feels nice to bring some happiness to their lives when they are beset with such severe diseases and syndromes. It helps to keep things in perspective, that basketball is not everything…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 14 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (1/13/2017)
Do not be fooled by the “14 Assists” part of the video title. They’re great assists, don’t get me wrong. He’d probably still have 10 of them if this was a FIBA game, that’s how good they are. But they aren’t the best part of the video. No, that honor goes to the FOUR (4)…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 20 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2017)
The best part about watching the Timberwolves isn’t KAT’s emergence into a stud, or Wiggins’ emergence into a stud, or Lavine’s emergence into a stud, or Dunn’s emergence into a… something. No, the best part about watching the Timberwolves this season is that sometimes the commentators’ mics pick up Tom Thibodeau raspily yelling at his…
