    What the hell has Ricky Rubio ever done, especially against the Rockets?

    Even if Rubio does play and entire Jazz team is 100% healthy and amped up on the very best drugs, Rockets should still sweep.

    Jazz just do not match up well with Rockets. They match up much better against GSW.

    His passing creates more opportunities to scrore. That’s about it. If he comes back in game 3 or 4 they could ride him to an emotional win. That’s the only chance they have to steal one imo.

    Harden destroys him emotionally and physically on a regular basis. Counting on Rubio to steal a game from Rockets is fool's gold IMO.

    I'll buy you some flowers and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

    What do you mean by fools gold? Fools gold would be if I was a Utah fan and I expected Rubio to come back and change the series, which would be delusional.

    I said I expect this to be a five game series if Rubio comes back and helps them steal an emotional game in Utah. If not I said we should sweep. I’m not sure where I’m pumping up Rubio in those comments. All of the factors of him and his passing coming back plus their d plus the crowd MIGHT result in an emotional win just like in Minnesota.

    I just dont believe Utah has a chance to win one, with or without Rubio. Maybe I'm a homer but I really don't see any chance of j*zz winning one.
