POPA LAUGHS LAST

I honestly don't understand all the shit talking on Rubio since the beginning of the season. I'm usually a one team kinda guy, but I've been really excited for this season to see Rubio play. He is fucking phenomenal and so great to watch. #teamricky

Rubio would have been a great Knick

HOOP DU JOUR

Now I know what all the fuss has been about. Now I know why NBA executives and European talent scouts were so enchanted all these years. Now I understand why Donnie Walsh offered to give up smoking to make Ricky Rubio a Knick.

All it took was one probe and penetration Friday night against the Heat for me to realize I was beholding a visionary. From then on, each time the Timberwolvesג rookie fondled the fleece, I couldnגt help but notice myself staring at the sleight-of-hand, slight-of-body Spaniard.

I almost passed out.

Man, is this 21-year-old entertaining. Oh, yeah, and effective; in his third NBA concert, he accumulated 12 assists, 12 points (2-2 from the outskirts, scope his one-handed set shot isnגt supposed to have) and six rebounds.

Even Rubioגs five turnovers created more thrills than chills.

Exempting the Knicksג maestros, any point guard who makes it all worthwhile, can locate a spot-up shooter and a cutter ... a moving target Knicks coach Mike DגAntoni apparently no longer has any use for, coaching isolationists.

Conversely, Rubio owns the capacity to find players who arenגt open ... until the ball arrives point blank in picture perfect position to score and/or be fouled.

Ole! Ole!

What can you possibly do for an encore to top that?

Internationally experienced since the sandbox, Rubio unhesitatingly and effortlessly split a daunting double team sprung by LeBron James and Chris Bosh in the final minute of Miamiגs two-point road victory. He drew a foul.

Moments later, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra ג whose outstanding in-bounds play-call caught Wolves coach Rick Adelman off-guard and provided the margin of victory ג paid Rubio the ultimate respect; he sicced fundamentally superior Shane Battier, 3 inches taller, on the 6-foot-4 Rubio for the last two pivotal possessions.

Walsh shouldגve thought to give up butter as well to get Rubio.

Streaming this as I watch the Raps (currently blowing a...) lead the Magic. I heard the announcers flip out of a DWilliams play towards the end of the 2nd qtr. What happened?

DeMarcus Cousins has reportedly asked the Kings to trade him, and coach Paul Westphal told him not to attend Sunday's game. Cousins has always had attitude problems, but demanding a trade four games into his second NBA season is somewhat unbelievable (and for what it's worth, his agent has denied that a trade was demanded).

.. How nutty is this guy..

The Bulls were beating the Grizzlies by like 50 points in the 3rd quarter. It was glorious, but it was also boring, so I turned the game off. Just bring on the Heat already, for Christ's sake.

Ate dinner next to Pat Riley, Micky Arison, Josh Smith, Jerry Stack and a few other black people who I know play for the Bobcasts and Hawks.

Awesome night.

John Wall is probably the only person that Cousins will listen to, so it might work.
