Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Rudy Watch

I believe Spain plays in the quarterfinals this evening, somewhere in the late night block on the USA channel.  If that's accurate I'm going to try and watch to get another look at Rudy.  You can use this as a Gameday Thread if you wish.

For those who have asked, I was uber-slammed all weekend.  After staying up all Friday night I did manage to catch the first three quarters of the Spain-US game on Saturday (right up until Rudy hit the floor hard) before I literally fell asleep watching it.  I haven't had time to go back and watch the ending and what I saw didn't really bring any new impressions to the table so I didn't do an official recap.  I'll do one for this game though.

What was that?

Weird international rules: Garbajosa committed quite a normal NBA foul, and they call it an intentional foul – two freethrows and the ball. All he did was grab the arm of the player, and it was ruled as the equivalent of a Flagrant I.

I'm not trying to put to much stock into these olympic games since it seems to all be about dumping the ball to

Gasol and get out of the way. From the look of these past few games it’s looking like Rudy is going to be a project player. Hopefully the Blazers will teach him something when he gets here and he’ll find more ways to get involved.

by BRoyInThe4th on Aug 20, 2008 12:18 AM PDT reply actions  

Don't worry my friend

Rudy is gonna be good. He’s a creative, smart player who likes to stay active and make plays.

He can shoot, score, dribble, he’s good.

You’re expectations mighta’ been high, but just wait for the real season to start and give him a few years to learn the NBA.

I like the fact that he's a hustle guy...

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
