Thru the Eyes of Rubio
Sactown Royalty — ... From all the current, renewed Ricky Rubio buzz, perhaps the most poignant note is the realization that Ricky Rubio really wants to be in Sacramento. And that's surprising.

Also "Rex, what the hell are you doing out there?"  A blocking foul was called on Chapman and Boston made both shots. 3 seconds remained for the Bullets but as I said, they must have been out of time outs because they inbounded the ball from underneath the Celtics basket.
