Ricky Rubio can't score

[QUOTE=Lakas Fan Yo]Not one single guard in the NBA plays any defense.[/QUOTE]

Thats exactly why you are red.

The **** is wrong with you.

[QUOTE=Lakas Fan Yo]They won't win it. And if you look at the likely brackets........they won't even medal at all.[/QUOTE]
Oh ok. I see now.

Remember how RUbio choked at the last minutes during the game vs. USA

Wow Lakas you really have taken it up a notch here during the world cup.

[QUOTE=Sakkreth]Tbh they play, but most likely only in 4th quarter when game is close or in playoffs, in other words when it matters. But NBA defense is bit more about flashy things like blocks and steals, players in there more often risks to get a steal or block while letting attacker to drive instead getting into better defensive position.[/QUOTE]

OK, they play it when the game is on the line. But during 90% of the game 90% of the season there is literally ZERO defense in NBA games. All of a sudden there is defense deep in the playoffs..........after about 100 games have been played.

I was diasappointed in Rubio's performance today I must say and I feel that in the NBA teams will just go under the pick and roll with him. With that being said, the NBA has the defensive 3 second rule which FIBA does not. Therefore, bigs defending won't be able to just clog the lane. Rubio can still be good NBA player but SUPERSTAR, i don't see it at this point. he'd be wise to work with Juan Carlos Navarro on his one and two foot floaters going baseline and middle

[QUOTE=barbaroi]So when they do win, since you stated as fact that they won't, doesn't that mean that your predictions are all hopelessly pathetic, and since predictions are based on assessments, doesn't that also mean that your assessment of talent/skill is hopelessly pathetic, and since your assessments are terrible, doesn't that mean that we should just ignore whatever you claim as true, knowing that it is in fact hopelessly wrong. So when the US wins or medals, you really might as well just not talk, since we will know your contributions to be without value.[/QUOTE]

One of the biggest myths on tape. i recored over 200 NBA games this year that I watch repeatedly......not true.

Lakas shut up already. I've been lurking around the boards for a few weeks now,and all I see that is you are a clear troll.

It's a good idea, but not practical. Navarro has probably the best floater in the history of the game. Ever since Navarro was about 18 he was just a scoring machine at every level he ever played at. Rubio on the other hand is one of the worst scorers playing in the Euroleague. I don't think he has the agility, nor the eye hand coordination to even learn La Bomba.

Of course it is true. NBA teams and players have the most insanely and absurdly ridiculously inflated stats. There is virtually no defense in the NBA regular season. None.

If a player even attempts to play defense he is called "lock down defender". That means he plays defense, not that he is actually even a decent defender. In fact, you can be a horrible defender in the NBA and just by waving a hand up make the all defense team.

The NBA is an entertainment show. The rules, the refs, the league are all designed to encourage that no one plays any defense. In the NBA the Spurs are considered a good defensive team, or the Celtics, teams like that.

In the Euroleague they would be considered below average defensively.

You think Navarro has a better floater than Tony Parker?

Can you show me some clips of euroleague players playing defense and tell me how it is different from the NBA?
