Ricky “The Suave Spaniard” Rubio was spamming jumpers in this game, and it occurred to me, why am I surprised when he does this? He’s roughly a 44% shooter from midrange, way better than a lot of players, so of course he should get to pull up for those jumpers whenever he wants to. I…

Ricky Rubio 29 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2018)
Ricky Rubio is finally returning to last year’s form. Just in time for the trade deadline! The Jazz wish to move forward with Donovan Mitchell as the primary ballhandler/shooter/deity. At least, if I was the Jazz, that’s what I would want. Which is understandable, because Mitchell is a beast and on a cheap rookie deal….

Has Quin Snyder changed his system recently? I’m feeling like I’m not watching the same Jazz team this last month or so that I was when they were losing all those games. It could be that players are simply playing better and that explains the difference. Or, it could be that coke-head Snyder had a…

Shades of Donovan Mitchell? I would say so, minus the dunking. Otherwise, what Ricky Rubio did tonight against the Spurs was basically the same as what Mitchell has been doing lately. With more assists. I forgot about that part. I’ll be honest, because honesty is the name of DTB’s game and I try to be…

I’m one of approximately five people on earth who think the current Jazz branding/uniforms/colors are really sweet. I don’t know why everyone hates on it, it’s got the music-note “J”, what more do you freaks want? With that said, they should permanently adopt the alternates they had tonight. Forever. Keep the court with that goofy-looking…

Ricky Rubio’s assist numbers are way down from last year, a result of him moving from the Timberwolves’ “spam pick-and-pops with KAT” system to the Jazz’s “take the ball out of Ricky’s hands so some flashy rookie can play with it” system. It’s a shame, but what can you do? His hot shooting percentages to…

Last night was a battle of Spanish point guards as the young (Ricky “Sexy Eyes” Rubio) faced off against the old (Jose Calderon). But who is the better player? Through the use of facts, double- and triple-checked for factuality, I will determine which player is officially better and present my FINAL OFFICIAL VERDICT and the…

Why does Ricky Rubio suck now? I might catch some flak for using that term, but it’s true. The Jazz are withstanding it well, but there’s no denying it. The eye-test says he sucks, the boxscore says he sucks, and the advanced stats say he sucks. Especially compared to what we know he’s capable of….
Read MoreRicky Rubio 30 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2017)
Ricky Rubio points tonight: 30 Ricky Rubio assists tonight: 1 YES. This is what I want. I used to think I wanted Rubio to pass the ball, but it turns out I don’t. No one does. Why would you want to see him try to get his lame-o teammates involved when he could drop 30…
Read MoreRicky Rubio 20 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
Ricky Rubio scored 20 points on nothing but jumpers tonight. No lameups, no free throws, no floaters, no dunks. Not too many assists either. He showed a lot of confidence in his midrange shot near the end of his time in Minnesota, but never anything like this. The Mavericks dared him to shoot, and he…
