Rudy Watch

Kitten_tiny by Dave on Comment 414 comments

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.

From the commentary
Croatia is one of the surprises of the tourney. They are the team with the least recognizable team, with only Zoran Planinic a name known to U.S. basketball fans.

I am the biggest bball fan I know, and I’ve never heard of him.

Rudy's

That’s confidence, wearin’ tape like that.

He’s comfortable with his manliness.

As long as he doesn't remind himself of Darko...

Kinda hard to ignore that thought if you are on the same team.

Sounds like you've got

a dirty little secret

And all this time, we’ve been heading nowhere really fast
Never knowing that the past would make us feel alone
But now, that all the cover’s blown
You can see how much you’ve thrown out the door
Don’t wait before you try and let this go

You’ve got this dirty little secret
You’re trying hard to keep it
Out of sight, out of mind
But you can’t hide

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Mortimer on Aug 20, 2008 12:19 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I was hoping that he'd show more

3pt shooting. That is one of my concerns with the loss of Jones.

Rudy will get better open looks and drives with the Blazers

We have better players that require double teams and with our good passing will get Rudy some easy points

Roy and him are both about team which I love but Rudy makes Roy look like a ball hog.

Hopefully he is just trying to make his team mates look good so they can get a big contract.

you know what i love about Rudy?

even when he is on the bench he is jumping up, waving his towerl, and cheering on his teammates and freinds. I think he will fit right in with the culture of the Blazers

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

…………………………. negatives: he leaves his man too often and is slow getting back on D, he throws too many lazy, looping floater passes, and his shooting can be — how do we say it politely? — an adventure.
