Kevin Love with the exclamation point. Damn, Love and Rubio are going to be good. Rubio was worth the wait and the grizz and the thunder and the kings are all looking stupid. Nobody took him because he was 3 years away.
DeAndre Jordan is not a smart man. He was guarding a guy who can knock down long jumpers. So what does he do? He stares at the inbounds passer before noticing that Love was already at the three point line. Had he just been paying attention, he could have easily fought through that screen by Ellington.
Stupid ejection. Refs had already decided Rubio was going to get the call when he slipped. Mo Williams says he slipped and he gets ejected right away. He was on fire tonight too.
Deandre Jordan has very low bball IQ on defense. He needs to be held accountable for this and the Mavs game.
Because when people talk about DeAndre, they seem to forget that there's more to defense than blocking shots.
James Harden is no Ricky Rubio. Hell, Russell Westbrook is barely better than Ricky right now. But Rubio, it is clear, is the second coming of Jason kidd. He is going to be a rare player in this game.
Just quoting this because it's funny that someone thinks that Barea and Beasley are equal to Chris Paul.
Been saying this seemingly forever. Why anyone wanted to give this guy $11-12M per year so that he could block shots into the third row (giving the ball back to the other team) and little else (he's not even a great rebounder) is beyond me. If not for Chris Paul being on that team, the Clippers would be regretting that contract sooner rather than later. They still might.
Klove has better offensive skill set than Blake, but in a year or two Blake will be the best PF in the NBA.:grin::grin:
The Thunder did not make a bad decision. They have Westbrook, who is better than Rubio. They achieve nothing if they take Rubio. Furthermore, the Thunder are a young team, they want players to develop together. They don't want to be developing Rubio when the rest of the team has developed into solid players, like they are right now.
Yeah, this was a punctuation mark on the game. 1. Blake misses both free throws. 2. Love hitting a game winning 3.
