Bad possession by Rubio, but KAT just freakin' stood there. He didn't even have to move much to challenge the shot. I'm tired of the "selective effort" we see from him when it comes to protecting the rim. I get that in the first quarter he has to watch his fouls, but this is the time we need assert ourselves, not back down.
Payton has gotten the better of Rubio a few times in this game.
Indeed he has. He's also made a couple of pretty well contested 3's, which he normally doesn't do. These guys are playing us tough.
