    Boy, listening to these interviews makes me wish we had gotten Ricky. He definitely reminds me of a taller Rondo with his plus defense, plus passing, and weak jump shot. If he can just keep teams honest with his jumper, the kid can be an elite pg. The weak first step thing doesn't bother me too much as I can see his creativity coming more off of pick-and-rolls and in the open court.

    Rubio jumpshot is actually better than Rondo's :)

    Another proof that you are an idiot

    They were the first team in turnovers last season with 17+ per game and first team in points allowed of the turnovers.

    I assure you, that Rick was talking about changing things and changing some decisions

    In comparison with us, number 1 in assists with Lowry, one of the most ball-caring PG's last season, he certainly feels the difference

    wasn't there a stat that said the rockets turned the ball over the least while have much more possessions than their opponent?

    Timberwolves fan here, very much looking forward to the season. Hopefully Minny can get at least 30 wins.

    If you mean win 30/66 games, very unlikely. The one and only way I can see that happening is a very fast start to the season because they hit the ground running faster than most teams (which is also doubtful).

    Ricky's debut in T-Wolves jersey is just, what? Hour and a half away! Damn it, I am excited. I feel really scary for watching our game against Spurs because Rox under McFail may make me suffer and commit a suicide right away :grin:. even before the season officially starts.

    Maybe Rick and Ricky could give us some nice game

    I like mchale he just has not had enough time with this team. I fully expect the first few games (given our harsh schedule aswell) to be very rough

    Rubio plays pretty well, no problems with lateral quickness on NBA level, smart decisions, nice passes, good overall level in his first five minutes

    Randolph is kind of a ballhog isn't he. Missed like 3 shots in a row.

    Rubio rolled his ankle

    3 assists in 9 minutes, and a couple of waste opportunities from his teammates

    in before Scola's he looks ok picture
