I hate to do it, but it’s time to call out Ricky Rubio. I’ve been talking about it for years, but now I’m saying it right to his face: that jumper is WAY too flat to ever be consistently effective in the NBA. Sure, there will be nights (like tonight) when he line-drives in a…

Ricky Rubio 22 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (11/2/2018)
The thing with Ricky Rubio is that his flat-ass jumpers never feel sustainable. They go in often enough, I guess, but do you ever see him put one up and think “oh yeah that’s definitely going in”? No. So when he has a good stretch of gametime where he’s line-driving them into the hole, you…

How much of Ricky Rubio’s offensive output tonight, in the form of both points and assists, could be attributed to the fact that Anthony Davis was out for the Pelicans? You could probably take away most of his layups, and forget about a bunch of those lobs to Gobert. New Orleans, very obviously, doesn’t have…

“Hey DownToBuck,” Ricky says as he walks towards me from a great distance. “Ricky,” I murmur to myself, quietly enough that he can’t hear it, and I know this must be a dream because there is no circumstance in my waking life where I would get to see Ricky Rubio in person. I try to…

The time is ripe for a new bromance in Utah. In the intervening months since Ricky Rubio left the desolate wastes of Minnesota, the viewing public has… screw it. Let’s cut to the chase: Ricky Rubio. Donovan Mitchell. Broing out in a bromantic manner. Is it happening right now? I can’t tell yet, but I’m…

Ricky Rubio flipped the digital page of his Kindle version of Don Quixote and found that his eyes were getting droopy. Despite his drowsiness, Ricky pressed on; he always strove to finish a chapter before setting the book down for the night. Readjusting his position atop a small mountain of assorted pillows and blankets, he…

Here’s my theory: Ricky “Sexy Eyes” Rubio isn’t getting as many assists this season as he has in seasons past because JOE INGLES is STEALING the assists. Diplomatic relations between Spain and Australia just went down the tubes because the more game tape I watch on this subject, the more it becomes apparent that there…

What’s up with all these people who want to beef with Ricky Rubio? He is a participant in more beefs than any active NBA player, I think, and these aren’t fake Twitter beefs, these are PHYSICAL beefs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps a makeshift shiv in his shoe, because it seems like every…

Ricky Rubio has not yet even tasted the first sip of sweet playoff nectar in the NBA. This is his 7th season in the league; the only current players with more seasons without hitting the postseason are Omri Casspi (playoffs this year), DeMarcus Cousins (does it count if he’s injured) and Luke Babbitt (probably playoffs)….
