11/9/5/2 steals as a rook is serious
he's going to be greeeeeat

 

[elcheato]

Considering your definition of great, that could mean a lot of things.

 

[Mexi]

ok

Calderon is his floor (lesser 3P shooter, but i think he'll be able to hit open 3's consistently)
Lowry with better vision might be his most likely path
Rondo is his ceiling

IMO

 

[Mexi]

and you know what, Lowry might be better than Rondo if you really think of it

somewhere in the Lowry/Rondo spectrum is where i see Rubio at his best. I love his game

maybe better if he can shoot. i like his shot better than rondo as it is.
lowry has been nice this season shooting, he has way more confidence than ever before, but if rubio can get a consistent jumper he might be better than lowry

How about them exciting wizards mexi?

 

[elcheato]

Lowry is just a good point guard. He's falling off to his numbers from last year after his hot start, and actually he's even less efficient so far then last year.

Rubio doesn't have the quickness or finishing ability around the rim that Rondo has. His shot is better then Rondo's, but you don't even really want Rubio taking jumpers.

 

[Mexi]

i said i was wrong about them
they're full of knuckle heads. they embrass me

at least i was right about the Wolves

and my preseason Eastern Conference 3rd seed was Indiana. so far, so good. I hope they finish with the 3 seed to make me look really good lol

 

[elcheato]

Oh yea, and Mychal Thompson's other, considerably worse son made his debut and hit 2 critical jumpers in the 4th

 

[snipezo]

haha too much.

 

[Mexi]

lol he has another son in the White Sox org

 

[Mexi]

haha too much.

best thing ever

 

[elcheato]

Even Carlos Boozer's son doesn't root for him, poetic justice really.

Fuckin douche

 

[Mexi]

you know what would be sick
if the Thunder traded Westbrook for Scola and Lowry

 

[elcheato]

That would be terrible

Westbrook is criminally underrated

 

[.infamous]

you know what would be sick
if the Thunder traded Westbrook for Scola and Lowry

no

 

[Mexi]

Harden starting with Lowry setting everybody up would be toooo sick

they're already great as is, i know

i just wish Harden would start. enough of this bench scoring bullshit

 

[Mexi]

honestly thats what its about for me lol

harden needs to start. i hate him coming off the bench. he's too young, to good for that

 

[elcheato]

Coaches who do that bother me so much. Using the "it's not broken so don't fix it" cliche while using one of their best players off the bench. Obviously the team and Harden will still play well coming off the bench but there is no point to do it.

 

[Mexi]

7th in the league in FTA's

playing 5 less minutes than Russell. I just wish he could play those 5 extra minutes
7 less minutes than Durant

 

[The Young One]

I see you Kyrie
