Kat says he's finally done chasing stats after 6 years of doing so and doing nothing but losing. It only took 6 years for him to get tired of this? Also he says he's now proven himself? How has he done this when all he does is lose? Anyone can chase stats. It really isn't all that impressive when you lose.

Good point, Pork!

Is it... or just a cheap shot. The Wolves have NINE 1st round draft picks on the worst roster in the NBA... including Hernangomez and Ed Davis.

And regardless whether you're a Rubio fan or not... whether he's sort of a plus player or a slightly negative player... grouping him with Culver, Okogie, Hernangomez and Davis... all picked in the 1st round more recently than him and all having significantly worse seasons... seems a bit misguided.

I'm not positive about this, but I suspect Pork's Rubio deal is a "bit"...having a little fun with those here who don't despise Ricky. Because including him with the other two culprits is a little like saying the three biggest health challenges in the country right now are cancer, Covid, and lactose intolerance.

lol. That's a good line, FNG. Honestly, I didn't give any thought to Pork's inclusion of Rubio in his short list. I thought his only point was that the Wolves have plenty of problems right now so no need to spend much time delving way back into the Wolves history of ineptitude. :). Among our current problems, I'm with you in viewing Rubio as the equivalent of lactose intolerance compared to other problems with the current roster. Bottom line is that the roster is poorly constructed with too many bad defenders, a lack of mental toughness, a lack of size, and to many unreliable 3-point shooters on a team that takes more 3-point shots than nearly ever other team in the League.

Yeah. We all knew the point. And many of us agree.

But your incessant cheap shots sometimes end up skewing that point.

Both Pork and Doper have long-running "Rubio Derangement Syndrome", similar to the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" we saw from a wide swath of our media and Hollywood elitists.

That's right Pork, I just compared you to coastal elitists! :)

Rubio supporters overrate him because he's white. Some deranged, subconscious, racist white savior complex probably.

That MUST be it! You played your part perfectly there!
