    You barely watch all these games and no Euroleague games but call him an idiot? You probably only watched Rubio when he played vs. USA in Beijing, so how can you dismiss him so blatantly and call him an idiot?

    Nope, unless OHMSS speaks German, Yung-T is definitely not one of his accounts ;).

    I do not agree with the Belinelli or Hedo thing, but Rubio definitely is one of the weakest guys spain has on their roster, if not the weakest. Watch some games and you'll agree.

    Oh sh.., you nearly discovered my secret. Having learned German in order to have a strong fake-account to back my Rubio thoughts played out well.

    Belinelli and Turkoglu are not the worst individual players on their respective teams. Unfortunately, I saw them shoot their teams out of a game a couple of times. They both take contested, dumb and off-balance shots when there are better solutions available. They can win a game for Italy or Turkey when they get hot, or they can be a cancer for the team if their shots aren't falling.



    Sorry, I was away for 10 days in Barcelona. Um, I'll go with Šarić on this one.

    Hezonja is a gifted athlete, but seems like an arrogant guy. He forces too much when it's winning time and completely ignores the rest of the team.
    On the other hand, Šarić can contribute in almost any way on the floor, but is rather weak and needs to bulk up. He reminds me a lot like Kukoč in his young days.

    Yung-T is a very common German name.

    It all adds up.

    Also, calling people idiots is a super productive form of conversation.

    Oh and some questions for question for OHMSS: whats Ante Tomic like? Is he soft? Can he a be a defensive presnece down low? Can he play the 5 better then Doanatas?

    BTW: I totally agree with you on Rubio. Way overrated. He was worth the hype when he was growing his pubes but he just cant produce when he plays with the big boys.

    Guys I recommend Serbia-Germany, 2nd half starts now. Teodosic with a great 1st half, one of the most gifted European PGs. Rubio-supporters here should watch this, he's far above Ricky's level.

    Definitely way better than Rubio. I think he is approaching a triple double.

    Spain win 91-79, Rubio with 0 points, 1 reb, 0 ast in 16min.
    3pts, 1.7reb, 2ast average the 3 games before.
    Just an update for all the Rubio supporters here, this guy is nothing for 3 years straight.

    Ante Tomic is an incredibly talented center. He is huge, he is very skilled, he is a tremendous offensive talent. He is a great low post player. However, he is also incredibly soft and extremely bad on defense.

    His rebounding is average for a center, but quite worse than it should be for his size.

    If I had to make a comparison, I would say he is a 7-2 version of Yao on offense (although not as physical on offense as Yao) and rebounding, but worse than Yao and softer than Yao on defense.

    However, unlike Yao he is more mobile, has decent stamina, and his body appears to be able to hold up.

    Judging by his stats, it looks like the team has moved on to others, he will get far more PT in Minnesota, the NBA where he gets to play with much better overall players.

    The fact you think the Wolves are "much better overall players" than the Spanish national team automatically disqualifies you from knowing anything at all about what is being discussed here. Sorry.

    The way you just assert that one of the worst teams in the NBA is "much better" than Spain is truly freaking hilarious. If you are not actually trolling, but are actually serious....................

    I also find it quite funny that you make an excuse that he supposedly can't get much playing time on the Spanish national team because they "have moved on to other players", as to why he supposedly sucks so much, then turn around and say he will, "get much more playing time in Minnesota", where the players are "so much better".

    Strange, how the team that is "much worse overall" (Spain) is where he he supposedly struggles for minutes against "other players", but the team that is "much better overall" (Wolves) is where he will obviously get "far more PT".

    Who are "all the Rubio supporters"? As far as I can tell DD is the only one. I don't think anyone has thought he was special in some time.

    Tomic, though talented, is soft, disappears in crunch and gets in foul trouble to easily.
