Ricky Rubio making Australians in the NBA look bad

Rubio burns two Aussies with the exact same move. Like an NBA 2K animation

I freaking LOVE Rubio's game. Best fantasy pick up of the year along with Noah. Oh, and Durant ain't bad either.

Actually, over the last few games I have realised that Parker doesn't get enough credit for his defence.


The likes of Joseph and Mills have just been getting eaten alive defensively.

Westbrook went for 25 the other night quite comfortably.

Lillard scored the Spurs PG's for 35 in a big loss vs. Portland

Rubio, who probably still isn't 100% healthy, messes around and gets a pretty big tip-doub of 21. 12 and 13.
Then his 'reserve' Barea goes for 17 in 20 odd mins of playing time.


Mills and Joseph just need to focus their attention to the defensive end.
Let the offense sort itself out -- and it will -- with the likes of Duncan, Manu, Leonard, Green and Splitter still there.

@macdub .... You mean the night when Westbrook attempted 27 FG's??


Parker is one of the most underrated players in the league

Mills defence doesn't seemed to have improved since college, for someone with good foot speed he has great trouble staying in front of players, probably because he sags off to go help unnecessarily by filing up a lane, but Patty size isn't going to stop anyone from getting to a lane. He shouldn't even bother trying it because it comes at the expense of the player he's defending usually a SG or capable point guard wide open 3 or room to run at him. He should stay on his man, and forget the too little too late help on d.

Rubio makes a sweet move twice around the back but Baynes simply needs to not give up the outside lane and turn him inside to the help 'D'.

Patty appears to jump to the ball a little early, agree he should defend the man with the ball more than help out on the man without the ball.

Would have been nice to see Baynes block that drive or the ball against the back board, but Rubio is a gun, let's face it he has made many players look slow with his silky skills...

Stop hiding out here and get back to the Bombers drug scandal Lance. :)
