Rubio is in..... GDT

[Porckchop]

Hopefully this game will change Mitchells mind about some of his rotation decisions. Love seeing Lavine, Ricky,Towns and KG finishing ball games too. Keep Martin riding the pine!!

And I should add... Nice grind it out win when things were not always going our way.

And Cool is gonna love that lineup. Rubio, Zach, Wiggins, KG and Towns. I would love to see that group become the crunchtime lineup.

I credit this win to SP. The picture swap changed the momentum!

Momma done good!

Belly had an off game, but I would love to see him earn KG's spot in the crunch time lineup!

Holy smokes.

I've just been in a meeting (mid morning Australian time remember) and managed a sneaky score check at work when I got out. The Rubio effect is real! If he remains healthy, we could still chase the Bulls 72 wins mark.

Crazy isn't it? Rubio didn't even play that well, yet we're now 5-2 with him as our starting PG and 0-4 without him.

Q, what are you still doing up this late?

Downright eerie I would say. We probably still lose to GS if Ricky doesn't get hurt, but it's not far-fetched to say we would now be 8-3 if he hadn't gotten hurt. You heard me...8-3!!!!!!!!

You're right...Ricky didn't have a very good game tonight. Even his defense wasn't very good at the start of the game. But I would say that his defense at the start of the second half (along with the other 4 guys on the court) was the catalyst that led to this victory. I think he may have been tight at the start of the game, and he couldn't keep Dragic in front of him. But he contained him just fine at the start of the 2nd half, and when Ricky prevents penetration, he makes KAT/KG/Tay/Wig that much better.
