I still question if these rumors are true.

Man, that article certainly hit the feels. It's a bit too easy when it comes to Ricky.

What's your opinion on Jack Lang?
What's the general consensus from Australians?

He seemed like a bad ass.

No idea. I'm Victorian, not NSW where he served. I know the name though.

Just like in the US, although we don't seem to admit it much, the differences between the States are considerable.

RICKY! N0. 9. He didn't want to wear 9 anywhere but here. sniff.I am not crying.RICKY!!

Why having Rubio and Dlo as our PG's is huge.

Simply put, they make things easier on everyone else.

Go back to the Teague era.. Jeff Teague was a ok player in his day, but what he never consistently was able to do is break down the defense and pass to an open man. When you have a PG that cannot get into the teeth of a defense... every basket is a fucking chore. You then have to ask your players to create their own opportunities.

When you have someone like Rubio and DLo... they are able to get teammates easy buckets.

There are PG's that dribble the ball up the court and pass to a post up player... and there are PG's that get into the heart of the defense and rip it out. Rubio and DLo are the ripping out the heart PG's.

Hype!

And, while I haven’t deep dived into Ricky’s recent numbers, it just seemed to me while watching him in a bunch of his Jazz/Suns games, he was finishing at the rim much better and knocking down more open shots.

I think we’re really going to enjoy this older, more mature version of Rubio.

[Philo Beddoe]

Full disclosure. I did not like Jeff Teague one bit. Did a search on my posts "Teague"

Teague sucks.

Can we trade Teague for Rubio?

Finish the game with Crawford and butler in back court. Fuck teague

Jeff Teague can suck my dick.

Teague has never been on a team that did not make the playoffs.

Thibs be like. "hold my beer"

its not as fun without Rubio.... especially when you replace him with a turd like Teague. Teague the turd.

It's good to see Teague in mid season form of sucking

I am guessing it was not as bad as it looked. The skinny PG type are always over dramatic with injuries and also tend to be pussys.

My guess is he is fine and will miss 4 games just so people think he was really hurt.

Fuck you Teague. Learn to pass

Someone call security and tell them not to let Teague in our locker room.

Can we just trade Jeff Teague already?

Jeff Teague can suck my dick. I have never seen a more wide open three and he did not shoot it

Jeff "I never miss the play offs" Teague ids the right guy

Haha, that was brutal.

Fuck Teague.

I blast Tyus a lot, but he does a lot less stupid stuff compare to Teague.

Teague is having a bad year.

i do think he's been around long enough now also to tell KAT and Dlo to get their asses in gear if they slack off on D. in the past, he may have wondered if that was his place to do that - and now he probably assumes that it's his place to do that.

[j2j]

Johnny Athletic saying Rosas tried to get Rubio last summer, but Ricky wasn't ready to come back yet.

I remember hearing people in Houston really liked Ricky a couple years ago, maybe that was Gersson.

I think they were humping smaller fish.

[witljon]

I never liked the Teague replacing Rubio idea.

[zeitgeist]

So it's not really a secret that I was never that high on Rubio like most people here. He has value certainly but he has some unique weaknesses that you have to account for. Do we still have Malik Beasley and D'Angelo Russell? We just drafted an undersized shooting guard with our #1 pick and none of these guys can really line up to play defense at the 3. Our defense is still a major issue, THE biggest issue.

Undersized shooting guard?

I don't know, Anthony Edwards is listed at 6'4, I don't know if he has long arms or anything but that's a bit short for a shooting guard, and it doesn't help that he is not a good defender so he doesn't have much positional flexibility to play up into the 3.

Anythony Edwards is going to be able to play PF in small ball lineups. The dude is a beast. He out weighs some PF's in the league.

Last we hear, his college coach said he has grown during the process and is closer to 6'6"

Well, it will all come down to his defense which based on what I've read is not a strength of his at this time. Certainly, he could develop that but I guess I'm so familiar with bad defenders staying bad even after getting acclimated to the NBA, that I'm a bit pessimistic. I hope I'm wrong and I'll still have to watch him play for awhile before I have any strong opinions on him.

[thinktank]

Edwards is not an undersized SG. Goodness gracious.

[kilkenny]

I know. Read that and laughed a little.

[OliverMiller]

It's pretty simple. Rubio has ALWAYS made his yeam better. Do you have a ceiling if he's your lead point guard? Yes, but we are still in the basement and he won't be the lead here.

He's listed 6'4, do you have a more official measurement?

Along with a 6'10" wingspan

[LordNu]

To be fair to zeitgeist, a lot of the websites still list Edwards as 6'4 (probably including NBA.com). I think these were from the start of the year, and the ones after the playoffs had him at 6'5. However, in recent measurements he grew an inch in a month, so there is hope he may end up growing a few more inches when all is said and done. The guy is also 225 pounds....

The knock from NBAdraft.net was that he had a reluctance to use his athleticism and abilities to really smash opponents. Hopefully he can take that step to use his body, and force his will upon the opposition.

And he'll consume the Nuggets with with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

That sounds illegal.
