I don’t know what Zach LaVine being out for the season means for Ricky Rubio. I know what it means for Brandon Rush (Thibs is gonna try and kill him with minutes), but Ricky? He’s probably gonna keep doing what he has been doing a lot lately: dropping hella dimes. As long as Towns isn’t…

Ricky Rubio 14 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2017)
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…
Read MoreRicky 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),…

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 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…

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)…

One field goal. Just one. One Ricky Rubio field goal in a whole three minute video devoted to his basketball prowess. It’s to the point where I probably shouldn’t even have bothered with showing his points. I don’t show the assist if some guy puts up thirty points and only has the one, so why…

One of the Timberwolves commentators says at the end of the video that there’s a 3000-to-1 chance of winning the game when down by 12 with 44 seconds left. Pretty longs odds, but not totally unwinnable. What kind of scenario would have to play out for victory to be snatched from the iron grip of…

All you naysayers, telling everybody that Ricky Rubio couldn’t shoot jumpers. How wrong you look now. Go back to the squelching mudpit you came from and say your nays there. That is the only place your utterances will be appreciated, because it has been concluded positively that Ricky Rubio CAN shoot jumpers. One only needs…

Supposedly the Bucks were trying to acquire Ricky Rubio during the lead-up to the trade deadline. That would’ve been fine by me, I’m used to PGs who can’t shoot by this point, and at least Ricky can actually pass (how Milwaukee managed to get one who can do neither is a total mystery). The only…
