    Rubio sure looked better tonight than the picture you have been painting for endless months.

    It obviously just validates his theory that the NBA is an inferior level of competition.

    Far better in 20 minutes than Spanoulis EVER was in nearly 300...

    Rubio couldn't have a better coach...

    Lost it here? He was the winningest coach in Rockets history.

    A lot of those pieces that Adelman has to work with were all lottery picks or very high picks. He has a lot more to work with than what he had in Houston, that's for sure. And that's not DM fault. Minnesota has been terrible since Garnett left so it's about time those picks paid off. Adelman is the perfect coach for those players in Minnesota.

    He also has zero rings. Why does winningest even matter? Don Nelson has won the most games in NBA history. Does that make him better than Rick the ruler?

    OHMSS and Adelman have turned me into a fan of Minnesota.

    Wait, weren't you the one that was preaching that Rubio was like 3rd string PG and will suck in the NBA or something for months.

    How dare you come out and criticize other's opinions, when you should be the one eating crow

    While obviously the video clips and announcers' comments were a bit over the top in terms of gushing about Rubio, he did look pretty good. He does deliver the pass well (good timing and aim) and moves really well on the court. He may struggle defensively but most rookies do (especially rookie PGs). Definitely draws attention on the court. Heck, I know I will be watching more MIN games this year.

    I think with new players like Rubio and Fredette coming into the league at small markets the NBA has gotten an injection that will help make up for the fan unhappiness of the lockout/Stern.

    OHMSS,

    Guess what. Rubio is going to be very, very, very good.

    They are going to be damn good. If they play defense then they will be dangerous

    So explain how he "lost it" here? While putting up the best winning% is franchise history?
