I'm glad Rubio is happy. Not to take away from his time with the Jazz which i do think is a positive I bet he would be happy a lot of places where he made the playoffs. It's also only like the 2nd season of his entire career he wasn't coming of a significant injury.

I was thinking that too. Glad to see him doing well. Easy guy to like and pull for.

Rubio has always been happy missing shots. Was moving back to the mean tonight. Next game will be a battle. It's been a fun series. Utah really seems to get under teams' skin with their clutching, grabbing and diving.

It's good to see Ricky taking shots even if there not falling. He's a more confident player now and defenders have to player a lil tighter knowing he won't abandon his game when things get tough

Yep. Pretty much.

I remember posting stats about Rubio: More fga = more wins. The percentage was largely the same, but I think it showed what you wrote and that he was being more aggressive.

Id rather have Ricky still although I am fine with Teague. They both have their high moments and their low ones but Ricky would better fit into the toughness culture that the team is trying to create. I found it ironic that Jimmy can't stand Ricky even though they are similar in the way they agitate their opposition and get them to react negatively. Jeff on the other hand reacted negatively to Ricky and was tossed. I wonder if inside Jimmy was applauding because that is the sort of thing that he built his career on.
