    Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket

    That was great. Not sure if anyone's posted it in a different thread, but... 907345969393446912 907347465032142848 907351187053146112 907352523983466497 #BaldJoeIsComing

    Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket

    What's most encouraging about Ricky is not that he's hit 48.6% of his FGs so far, or that he's made 48% of his 3s. It's the fact that he's shot 4.2 3-pointers per game, in less than 21 mpg. He's Spain's second leading scorer behind Pau Gasol, and -as long as it is within the flow of the offense-...

    Irving/Hayward Press Conference - Hayward jabs at Jazz

    I've only been here a couple of months and even I can tell the OP needs to get a life.

    Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket

    Spain is missing several key players as well (Llull, Rudy, Ibaka/Mirotic, even a guy like Claver who was just starting to find his place in the NT), but they're just way deeper than anyone else in the continent. The team wasn't at its best during the preparation games and not many people...

    Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket

    26-14 at the end of the first quarter. Spain got off to a fast start and the subs did a good job to open the lead a bit more. Rubio with 2 assists and 3 steals in about 6 minutes.

    Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket

    Spain vs Montenegro just started. Rubio - Abrines - San Emeterio - P. Gasol - M. Gasol on one side. Rice - Sehovic - Barovic - Radoncic - Vucevic on the other. Rubio stole the ball on the first Montenegro possession.

    Tickets

    Not sure if the early start of the regular season will change anything, but usually single game tickets go on sale in late September. Also, I haven't paid much attention lately, but up until a couple of years ago I used to receive emails from NBA.com for a presale of single tickets about 10...

    The Ringer: Ricky Rubio Will Try to Shed the Hype in Utah

    One of the great things about Ricky is he doesn't need too much talent around him to average his usual 13-14 assists per 100 possessions. He's just too good at creating open looks and easy baskets for others, and the slow pace has never hurt him. As a rookie, he had Kevin Love by his side...

    All-Time NBA Draft Round 2: Hekate vs. White Chocolate

    I have to say, as an outsider (*) I'm a bit surprised with the amount of hostility in this board, not only in this competition but in most threads. Do you honestly have so many beefs or is it just an act and you actually like each other? * I was a member of the old Jazzfanz board, though not an...

    All-Time NBA Draft Round 2: Hekate vs. White Chocolate

    Probably a bit late, but my vote would go to WC. Name by name I actually like Hekate's roster a bit better (especially the bench), but this is a team sport and I'm a firm believer of fit, and I think WC's guys would work together better than Kobe, The Big-O, and co. And we're in 2017, shooting...

    Julius Randle?

    Unless he has an All-Star type of season, I don't think Favors is getting anything close to 20M per season next year. Right now the NBA is only projecting a modest rise of the salary cap for the next couple of seasons (102M in 2018, 103 in 2019), so spending around the league will be much closer...

    Julius Randle?

    It wasn't, really. He lacks effort, awareness and lateral quickness, three key components that make it so much more difficult for him to contribute on D. Not surprisingly he again posted a negative DRPM and ranked 76th out of 81 PFs in the league. The previous year he was 67th out of 74. He's...

    Julius Randle?

    Favors is far from an ideal fit, but if you're looking for a replacement Randle isn't any better. He's worked a lot on his body but he's barely progressed in anything else. Sure, he can handle the ball (but you have Rubio, Exum and -to some extent- Mitchell for that already), but he offers no...

    3D picks Mitchell #5 ROY candidate

    That's the percentage of shots from 3 he took, compared to his total amount of FGs. He shot 3 times all season from beyond the arc, and took 386 FGs during the year, so it's around 0.78%, which they rounded up to 1%. His 3PT% was of course not 0%, it was 33% as you said, but only on 1 of 3. So...
