PrintThe non-US Olympic semifinals matchup between Spain and Lithuania should be shown overnight tonight on the USA network. I'm not sure of a time but I'll be ingesting caffeine to stay up and track Rudy. Feel free to comment on the game here if you're an overnight owl.

Dave, your awsome
I saw your piece on rudys defense discussed in the national light with high praise today. I kant remember wear it was, but im sure you see it all the time. thanks for the sacrifice, although when reading, ya kinda get that its really a labore of love. Im just glad that noaher told me about your sight when he got me kcrakced owt on some Blazers.
I'm starting to think Gavin is kind of violent or something listening to the podcast. He calls LaMarcus soft and
praises Steve Blake for fighting with Nene. LaMarcus Aldridge could really hurt someone if he wanted to, and he never looks scared out there. I mean how many times did you see Michael Jordan lose his poise? Great players don’t start fights and make cheap shots, they dominate the competition.

New times....USA 10a.m.?
Now I just saw KGW announce USA to be on at 10a.m. These Olympics have been fantastic with pretty darn good coverage. Lovin’ Bob Costas. Makes me really miss NBC doing NBA and World Series games.
But….
Finding out the times for these events and when they are broadcast is nearly impossible!!!
Ahhh!!!

10:00 AM NBC time is basically the same thing as a 7:15 PDT start time
except that on the west coast it will be delayed until 10:00 AM PDT (10:15 tip-off). everything on NBC is tape-delayed (even if it says LIVE on the screen.) the cable networks are live, unless, of course, they are not.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.
I'm here!
Just woke up. Geesh. It’s early. I slept pretty poorly cuz I didn’t want to miss the game. My wife thinks I’m kinda crazy.
Does it stream live on the internet?
Anyone have the link?

But I don’t speak Spanish. He left this in the “Rudy’s Semi-final game” Fanpost.
2 missed 3's and a blown layup
Rudy’s still active, but not finishing. He looked pretty quick on that drive. They run their offense through him.
40-42
Spain is lucky to be only down by 2. They haven’t played very well. The Gasol brothers haven’t shown up yet. They would be very disappointed with the Bronze. Me too.
Rudy is really struggling with decision making
At least half of his turnovers in the Olympics have been poor lobs to either Gasol brother. Will someone please tell him he isn’t playing with Oden yet???? I love his hustle, but once again, I think Rudy has underperformed. Hopefully he plays better in half #2….

He is always here for the late night games, sometimes I wonder if he blogs in his sleep….

A lot of rudy minutes coming
with Calderone out.

going to be dragging all day. True sports fans.

Got to give Rudy his due on toughness...
He sticks his nose in there against anyone. I like his attitude, fearless….
RUDY > MJ
They are keeping Rudy in for extended minutes in the 3rd. I think they like his energy.
Why do they go to commercial in the middle of the game?
He took a big blow...
Curious to see how he responds. That looked quite painful and I think he might have seen a putty cat….He did, he did….
RUDY > MJ
nice pass.

I missed something while I was cooking dinner. Did Rudy get hurt? What happened?

I still think Spain is lucky to be only down by 4. I don’t think that they brought their A game.
Pau Gasol never seems to grab his crotch when the camera's on him.
His Mouth is often open, however.

Dear God,

Please, oh please, let Brandon Roy have a speedy recovery.
Us Blazer fans don't ask for much in this life. All we want is our team to be healthy (and win). You would really be doing a service to us if you had him bounce back in a few weeks (without pushing it). I promise I won't ask for anything ever again (until the regular season anyhow).
Thank you,
Twiggs
What does the game clock indicate for people who are seeing differences?

Pau coming out of the game..WTF? WE need Rudy and Pau out there.
It might just be a time out though.
Great Board and Pass

JamesOn thinks Rudy has
a Hapsburg jaw but I don’t see any evidence of it, even though I think JamesOn is a real smart lil cutie pie. Sometimes even real smart lil cutie pies are wrong. Rudy will be okay.

Oh, I hope not!
I think he will be ok as well.

He sure is wearing a lot of nike???
Coincidence??? I think not. KP and PA know how to recruit Euro stars…..big endorsements!!!!!
RUDY > MJ
Rudy finished with 18pts
He had a terrific 4th quarter. 9pts in the 4th to lead his team to the Gold medal game.
Rudy came through again
A few errors, but all around I again am happy with the performance.

Rudy gave up a lot of 3's but he made up with it by coming through in the 4th and no forcing his offense.
I liked that he held the ball in the end instead of driving it. That’s very mature of him and is something that is very Blazer like. He’ll fit in just fine here in Portland.
His height
Should be deducible from that photo
Standing in Chicago, eyes looking west.
Somebody Check My Math
Photo Ball = 15/16" (0.9375") Diameter
Photo Rudy = 7.5" Height
Regulation Ball = 9.39" Diameter
Regulation Rudy = x Height
0.9375" / 9.39" = 7.5 / x
.9375x = 70.425
x = 75.12"
75.12" / 12 = x
x = 6.26’
12/.26 = 3.12
x = 6’3.1"
Rudy is 6’3" in shoes in that photo.

That Should Have Read
12 * .26 = 3.12
Still x = 6’3"

I don't think he's standing up straight
so i’ll still believe he’s a legit 6’5"
by HeadBandWagon on Aug 22, 2008 10:25 AM PDT up reply actions
A measurement
Before the 2005 draft, Rudy was about 6’5" without shoes. He coulda’ grown since then, but I’d say 6’5" at least looks right.
Mortimer
Didn't we have this discussion already ;-)
Well, his former club lists him at 1.96m which is 196 cm which is 77.16 inch which is 6’4.3. When he arrives in training camp, Ben can put in a request to have him measured again.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
Mhm, the US has quite a lot of problems against a Ginobili-less Argentina
But still, Spain vs. USA will be it.

Rudy's stats against Lietuva and interview
Stats 27min, 18 points, shooting 5/12 ( 3/5 and 2/7) 6/6FT, 4 Reb (2&2), 1 st, 0 As, 0TO.
