Ricky Rubio out Game 1, could miss 1-2 weeks

Jazz beat us in 2008 because we lost game 2 due to a Kirilenko flop which cancelled out a bobby jackson 3. Hope Rubio gets well in the offseason but FTJ

 

Ha. This comes from the Caleb Swanigan fan.

 

And he's had 9 years to perfect it. . .

 

ricky rubio, ricky bobby, bobby flay, it wouldn't have mattered. rockets in 4.

 

With Rubio out, they will start swingman Royce Oneale. He is probably a better defender but is a rookie. Their backup PG is Exum and he has been a HUGE, HUGE liability. They benched him in favor of SG Alec Burks in the last game in a large lineup. He can provide them some shooting but he is hit or miss. I don't know why Neto hasn't been used.

Without Rubio, that really means Utah could struggle for points. Ingles and Mitchell will have to make plays. If the Rockets can start the game with great 3pt shooting a build a cushion, it could make it really hard for Utah to catch up.

Playing at a faster pace could also give Utah some problems since they will be down one ball handler in Rubio.

 

Lol you can’t hide your ever lasting love for Ricky Rubio.

 

I'm not trying to hide it. Never have. I've been crystal clear. I think Rubio is a great player. I like him a lot.

But right now he's not on my team. And his team is in between my team and their continued march to a championship.

 

Man if marco rubio was playing, it would make gobert look better. Capela is pounding gobert's ass in this game.
