shaky defense? oh my god you are a dumbass.
ricky knew what players were goin to do with the ball before that player knew what to do.

Of course it will. It would survive without Derrick Rose as well.
But, your comment on Rubio's defense is ignorant.
not a fan of rubio but i hate seeing knee injuries for anyone in basketball or in sports in general. its a sad thing to suddenly stop playing because of one little ligament
Confirmed by ESPN:(
This is depressing. I have him in 3/4 of my fantasy leagues but that doesn't even matter. He was a blast to watch and now we have to wait to watch him again until next season. That means no playoff run AND no Summer Olympics. Ugh. Sick to my stomach.
wow thats terrible, when he fell and had to be carried out i thought it looked bad
I feel bad for Minnesota. They're a great team to root for considering their past.

Go Getter hating on another white euro player? Not surprising.

:confusedshrug:
not like he did it on purpose, they're good friends anyway
Sickening stuff on the face of it, but it's worse if you look at the bigger picture...
The Hornets own their first round pick for this year... So they will not benefit in any way by dropping down the rankings...

NOW THAT SUCKS. But who knows. With Kevin Love and Co. They could do alright in the wake of this.
[QUOTE=Balla_Status]Go Getter hating on another white euro player? Not surprising.[/QUOTE]
Hating? Go back and check the facts. I've been saying Rubio has game way before he made it over. I just don't pretend to care about shit that doesn't really matter to me.
With that said does Rubio not shoot a putrid percentage? How is it hating to point out the fact that the Wolves will benefit from better shooting at the PG spot when Rubio is hurt?
JJ Barea/Luke Ridenour are willing and able. Sucks but at least he will hopefully be back by training camp next season.

Sure they will benefit from better shooting at the PG spot, but they will also suffer from the lack of playmaking, and superior defense. Not to mention Ridnour moving to the PG spot means potentially more minutes for Wes Johnson so you suffer there.
Minnesota can survive and make the playoffs only if they continue to feed the bigs.
Damn that sucks :facepalm

This. Some elites would kill to have that PG rotation right now.

good friends?
Not only that Kobe doesnt pass the ball to Gasol, now he even starts to injure his spanish teammates. Gasol is gone.
And yeah Wolves wont do shit without Rubio, probably get back in the lottery
jj barea effing sucks, and is injured right now. again.

I agree with you. I was just pointing out the other side of the coin. Of course the Wolves will miss Rubio....I hope I didn't portray the notion that they will not.
Saddening. Considering his game isn't solely or predominantly based on athleticism he shouldn't suffer too much career wise from a torn acl.
Hopefully he's out for a few seasons. :applause:

Barely cracked .500 with him, not very far to fall. So much for their mythical loaded roster.
So how long until someone starts calling him a bust. That seems to be ISH standard procedure when a rookie gets injured.

way to back track dude. close this thread and forget about it's existence cause you just sound stupid now.

Oden is an anomaly, even by typical bust standards.
**** now people will use this as an excuse as why he won't get the RotY. Sad day.

Obviously reading comprehension is not one of your strong suits.
I said the NBA would not miss Rubio "big picture wise.". It's obvious the Wolves will miss their budding rook, however, they could still have a relatively good season with their current roster.
[quote=Punpun]**** now people will use this as an excuse as why he won't get the RotY. Sad day.[/quote]Not an excuse, a reason. You miss almost 40% of the season you shouldn't be in the running for season long awards.

whatever man, do what you gotta do to get your post count up :cheers:

SEE. What did I say. Rubio would have had NO chance at all to win the RotY. Yet now some people will believe he would have won it if he didn't get injured.
Sad day. :cry:
This does really suck. That being said, if Love keeps up his play when he returns and leads this team to a top 4 playoff seed he is without a doubt the MVP.
[QUOTE=RedBlackAttack]That is awful. Hopefully it will only be a sprain. If you are an NBA fan, this is bad news... I don't care who your team is.
:([/QUOTE]
a sprain? did you even read the updated op? :facepalm

without a doubt, eh?
This sucks. Just when Minnesota was getting competitive they lose one of their biggest reasons for their success. Great, now we get to look forward to Luke f*cking Ridnour. :facepalm
He tore his Anterior Cruciate Lin-gament.
My life is over.
**** this.
:facepalm
[QUOTE=RedBlackAttack]Is Ridnour not capable?
Btw, Ramon Sessions, anyone? A return to glory?[/QUOTE]
Ridnour is capable of playing PG.
Ridnour is NOT capable of replacing RR.
That really blows... TWolves heading for the playoffs and now rubio goes down.
[QUOTE=NoGunzJustSkillz]without a doubt, eh?[/QUOTE]
Yes. Lebron is playing better but Love will have been the most valuable to his team if he brings them to a top 4 seed. That wont happen but whatever
