I don't have cable anymore, the only games I watched through the first three weeks of the season were on League Pass. I had three teams I made sure to catch pretty much every game from: Heat (circus), Bobcats (they just played hard, dude © Sheed / Kemba bias) and... TWolves!

Obviously you people must not be watching these games because when Luke is in at the point, EFFICIENT SHOOTER or not, that offense shuts the fuck down. Every player on that team is better than they were last year but they don't play much better when Luke is running the show, they play harder but not better. Then Rubio would come in and rack up three or four assists in a four minute stretch without fail, and all of those passes would be so beautiful it was hard to understand how Rubio'd barely even practiced with the team yet. Kevin Love gets energized, starts doing his Grab Two Rebounds at Once thing, the role players get amped and hit a few shots. Rubio Tebows games when he's on the court, everybody fights for him and puts extra effort into the game when he's out there.

Like someone said above, ANTHONY RANDOLPH looks like a competent NBA player finally, and 90% of the time it's when he's sharing the floor with the Spaniard.

The PG Warz are entertaining but this is some bullshit if people are seriously trying to argue Stephon Marbury is better than this kid just because of what some paper says. I could look at NBA 2K12 and tell you the Heat are a much better team than the Denver Nuggets too but that doesn't explain what happened in their matchup last night. The Wolves are losing because they're a miserable franchise breaking in two rookies without a training camp, one of whom doesn't have a natural position. Their starting center has no offense, their starting three is going to be out of the league in three or four years and their starting two is basically anonymous. Anyone expecting them to win is buying into the Rubio hype way more than actual fans of Rubio are.
