Ricky Rubio Named Western Conference Rookie of the Month
Rubio ranks fifth among rookies in scoring (11.4 ppg) and first in assists (8.9 apg) and steals (2.24 spg). His six steals on Jan. 18 vs. Detroit are the most by a Wolves player since Kevin Garnett had seven vs. the L.A. Clippers on Jan. 27, 2007.

Hmmmm, suitable for a guy who goes by "Dr_Defecate"
He has the rainbow blowing out the unicorn’s ass.
Is that an indication of what he thinks of RRubio? Or the Wolves?
There's absolutely nothing he can do for your son, but he can do The Robot.
That’ll be $5,000. Good day to you both.
Gary, you didn't kill your brother. Those gorillas did.

Like light,
it exists both as a wave and a particle. It smells like a combination of bubble gum and burnt hair.
I have no idea how...
… but you have completely sold me on this unicorn poop thing, morphing thereby into one of my favorite CH posters. Given where we started, you and I… well… it’s just striking.
Keep up the poo snaps.
If you drew that in elementary school
Think you’d earn yourself a visit with the school psychologist.
Yes
Denial could be considered wearing “rose colored glasses”.
I guess this would be seen as a more profound level of denial: “rainbow out of unicorn’s ass’s”
Question...
Where did the poop reference come from? Actually, where did the entire magical unicorn come from?

Unicorn: Ricky has a rare skill set as a basketball player being a pure passing point guard, just like a unicorn has a rare skill set for a horse. Many people didn’t believe Ricky existed because he chose to continue to play in Spain after being drafted, just like many people don’t believe Unicorns exist. He’s a magical unicorn because magic is the only way to expalin his ability to see the court and process information. For example, he uses a spell to stop time, survey the court, then restarts time knowing exactly who and when to pass the ball.
Michael Beasley is a sixth man. Derrick Williams is trade bait.

POO: Do we have to explain where poo comes from?
I didn't mean it, i was forced by the little people within my head.

Reading that for the first time in about four decades
shocked a laugh out of me. Well played.

However I would still like to know what special “skill set” do unicorns have.

It's more impressive when you consider...
….that he ranks 3rd in assists and steals among everybody. He’s just been shockingly good. Not just as a rookie, but as a player, period.

Also, I find it ironic...
….that the stiffest competition he faces for this award is Derrick Williams….
Don't call Derrick Williams a stiff! That's harsh.
Current NBA rookies, ranked by minutes played.
Who’s getting enough time on the floor to compete, among Western Conference rookies? Kawhi, the aforementioned Chandler Parsons, Jimmer!!!!, and…. Yeah, not that much competition. More rookies getting burn in the East.
"First, I'd like to blame the Lord for causing us to lose today."
Yep, in terms of Win Scores for example he's a step up from Derrick W.
There are some other names in between, too.
"First, I'd like to blame the Lord for causing us to lose today."
Is it ironic?
or is it a coincidence?
by Child soldier Frank Jaeger on Feb 1, 2012 5:52 PM CST up reply actions
Parsons? Really?
Other nominees for the … Western Conference Rookies of the Month were … Houston’s Chandler Parsons …
Bwahahahahaahahahah! Ah.
He's Ricky Rubio. He’s not like anyone else.
Michael Beasley is a Small Forward. Derrick Williams is a Power Forward.

Oh my God
i love how Darko is shown airballing his left hook and getting his shot blocked
Amazing, hilarious vid
If I'm pissing you off its probably sarcasm

I thought the funniest part was where Wes shot it and another ball knocked it from the hoop!
"I'm shocked - shocked - to find basketball going on in here."
Wes and Darko's highlights.....oh man.
That was real, real good.

Remember, remember the seventh of November.
You got it!!!! A totally mythological creature - Centauricorn.
I actually was going to add that but was just too excited after getting the image in. Wish I added a basketball on the bottom, and a number 9 shirt. Anyway Ricky is the “Rookie of the Month”.
I think a Mythical Ricky
Should have four arms and maybe eight (?) eyes.

From Alan Horton's Twitter:
WolvesRadio Alan Horton
R.Adelman says Darko is healthy tonight and will start, moving Pekovic to the bench. #twolves
Boo! (Actually, against the 7’2" Hibbert, this makes some sense. Dammit.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my. Is that great basketball or what?" --Hubie Brown, Jan. 20, 2012
Pek has been thowed lately
But this is a double standard. Typically, coaches don’t drop as you starter when you get injured. I would be curious to hear Adelman explain why Beasley lost his position but Darko did not.
Michael Beasley is a sixth man. Derrick Williams is trade bait.
Hibbert's off to another hot start.
By most measures this is, so far, his best year. But then he was a standout MIP candidate early last season, and eventually wound up seeing sports psychologists.
Guy’s tried everything possible to get his game to that next level, he’s busted his butt. Interesting case.
"First, I'd like to blame the Lord for causing us to lose today."
Sounds like the perfect candidate
to be hazed unmercifully at the game.

Question!!!
How many Point Guards are you taking for your upstart NBA franchise before you take Rubio?
Please try to leave the bias on the wayside as hard as that might be.
