Well you finally have one to put in your back pocket, that's good!
I would add that while Ricky has played decent ball he is not a focal point in end game situations and all his numbers are returning back to the mean. This is Wiggins and Towns team now .

That's good, try and turn this against Ricky when the pussy card doesn't fit anymore.

To be fair, if we bumped threads for every NBA player who keeps playing after rolling his ankle... we'd still be sorting through threads from 2006 on the front page.

I didn't care for Rubio's game tonight. I'm not saying he sucked balls or anything. I just thought it was a "meh" performance for him.


[Note: Great to see him stay on the court and finish it out though. Obviously.]

Ditto for players who have been injured 3 times in 5 seasons. Anyway he played exceptionally well defensively on that ankle.

maybe it's just me, but it seems like everytime Rubio drives and makes contact, he winces in pain. I don't think he'll ever be good at adsorbing that contact

So that would mean he is always playing through pain. Maybe he is actually a badass.

Give me a break. I played soccer for 15 years, and had worse injuries (twists and sprains) every game.....and that was as an unpaid youth. I would expect that a grown man that BARELY twists an ankle, and makes $12MM per, to continue to "gut it out". What a joke.

Soccer is the one sport I can think of where the women are tougher than the men. It's a great sport but a little strange.

Agreed. I refuse to watch either gender. Apparently, after the age of 18, soccer players have a real hard time maintaining balance enough to stand upright. Horrible.
