    He's extremely overrated. People love overly but a lot of the times not neccessary flashy passes and international boy band looks though.

    The effect that ESPN has on people... The Wolves are 2-8 in their last 10 and have been playing like ****. But wait, Ricky Rubio had a trip-dub? OMGZORZ, they must be playing well lately.

    Anyone know if harden is out? Don't want to buy tickets and not see him play.

    Rubio is definatly overrated, he was getting abused by most PG's in europe( i only talk about high profile games agains good teams) before he went to NBA, though he does to to have improved abit in nba..

    Can't underestimate any opponent. We have the tendency to lose to the weaker teams.

    Says he's game-time. I heard a rumor that he is going to need off-season surgery for a bone spur in his ankle. Hopefully he can tough it out the rest of the way. His coach knows a thing or two about that...

    Wow some of you guys are r****ded. Rubio was an elite defensive PG last season by all metrics. He was coming off an ACL injury this season so obviously he was not going to do well right away. He isn't an efficient scorer but his terrible start due to coming off a serious injury lowers his averages significantly. In the months of February and March he is 13+ ppg, 9+ apg, 5.5+ rpg 2.8 stls and around 6 fta per game.

    He is not an efficient scorer but is getting better and he draws a crap load of Fts for a PG.

    Keep in mind Kidd in his first two seasons was actually less efficient than Rubio is now. Not saying Rubio will be as good as Kidd but he can definitely become a lot better. He already has shown improvement and he came off an ACL injury.

    Ricky Rubio should have been rookie of the year, not Kyrie Irving. Rubio is easily top 5 PG in the league, he shows the potential to be an all time great.

    We did lose to these guys by 13 when they were missing three rotation players and had 9 guys in uniform. . . . This is not a gimme.

    Not based on shooting from the field. Not based on PER. Not based on turnover rate. Not based on assist to turnover ratio. I can't come up with a lot more possible things to define "efficiency" on.

    I wouldn't start harden tonight unless harden himself said he's feeling fine to play up to speed. id let the rest start and see how they can do without him, and if we need him put him in. I want to see parsons take charge as the next role leader. he's showing that he can step up now.

    Even with Harden out I predict a Rockets win by 27 points with TRob having a breakout game and Brooks in double figures.
