Rudy vs. USA Part Two: Who Will You Root For?
by Dave on Aug 23, 2008 10:48 PM PDT
Email
PrintTonight brings the gold medal Olympics game between Spain and the U.S., starring one of our favorite new-look Blazers. Oh, and a bunch of guys named Kobe, LeBron, Dwyane, and the like, I suppose. The game is supposed to be televised at 11:30 p.m. Pacific on NBC.
This is your Gameday Thread, but before we get into all of that, a question: Who are you going to root for? Do you go the patriotic route and scream, "USA all the way!"? Do you stick with our favorite non-native son? Or do you have a hybrid of the two?
Weigh in below and enjoy the game!

First!
"He doesn't let grass grow under his feet when there are points to be had." - Dave
I think
nobody here would complain if USA wins but Spain keeps it competitive only because Rudy blows up for 35. I also wouldn’t mind seeing a couple vintage backdoor Rudy Oops, so step-back-whilst-fading-left 3’s, and some open-court steals leading to dunks where he does a pull-up on the rim yet miraculously never receives a T.

USA all the way!
I want the U.S. to crush Spain. I’ll do plenty of rooting for Rudy next season. I’d be nice to see him have a good game though.
USA
I can’t help rooting for Team USA. I hate to say this but I would root for Team USA if it was comprised of all Celtic and Laker players and they were playing an international team that featured Rudy, Sergio, Sabonis, Petrovic, Khryapa, Batum, and Kopenen. That is saying a lot for me because I do not like those teams very much at all.

I'll go the unpatriotic route.
Rooting for the underdog is always one of my favorite pastimes. Of course, if I were Amlmart1, I could be both patriotic and root for the underdog.

Team USA has really impressed me
They’ve been part of the Olympic experience, they’ve played hard (especially on D) and they’ve said the right things. I’m rooting for them.
I’m also rooting for a big game from Rudy.

I dont buy it for a second...
It just comes off to me as a bunch of ego maniacs trying to show everybody how humble they are. And all that talk about playing team ball, and focusing on defense like it is some kind of novel concept. I guess I am speaking mostly about Flobe and LeBron here. All my friends (even the Blazer fans) are rooting for the good ole USA, but I just can’t get behind these guys.
I'm not saying I think they are great guys...
… certainly they have egos.
I am saying they are doing a great job of representing the USA over there so far.

If I'm reading the schedule right...
… NBC is not televising this live on the West Coast. Looks like the options are online or watching at 2:30 am.
Boomshakalaka
I did hear Costa say...
“2:30 am East coast; 11:30 pm Pacific on NBC.” Or words to that effect. And there was a graphic, too. The Comcast grid has it also.

I think it is wrong...
The comcast guide only has olympics on until 4am, but that guide you linked says the game is on 2:30am to 4:30am, it doesn’t add up. Also what is the logic of delaying a game until a worse time slot? That guide there says all times PT, dont believe it! I must mean eastern. They have to be showing this live.
hybrid with a twist
USA to win, with Rudy giving us all a lot to Oooohhhh and Aaahhhhh about!
I would like spain to win it
im just not a big fan of the usa, and no im not leaving. we will probably win, and it will again solidify the nbas reign as alpha dog in the wide world of bbal, but meh. would love to see rudy do well against his nba counter parts, but dont really see it happining.

Yea you're right, I just noticed it says two games with one starting at 9:00pm.
I’m assuming the first game will be the bronze.
USA
I like both teams, but I like U.S.A. better. I like Wade, LeBron, Paul, and Bosh. If it were just Kobe and Carmelo vs. Spain, I’d route for Spain.
I think USA wins by 20 or so. They are much more talented and are playing reasonably well together.

I somehow had the power to wish Spain into winning that would be unpatriotic, but I don’t, and they won’t, and I’m not.

Spain all the way!!!
Okay, i admit that I’ll be sick if Spain wins, but I’ll be darned if i’m not rooting for them and Rudy!!!
I guess that makes me a hybrid. Rooting for spain until the moment the US actually loses and then going “DARN IT!”
I’m weird like that. REally… i can’t win unless Rudy blows up for a big game.
This team is playing good team ball. I’d like to see less complaining about calls. Huge turn off watching those star players complaining. You’re representing your country. Take whatever comes like a man.
if team USA can play like they’re men and be sportsmanlike as well as Rudy having a big game, I’ll walk away happy.

Have you seen the officiating?
It’s absolutely horrid. The fact I haven’t seen any techs called is a minor miracle. I think the players react out of shock more than anything else.
My Tivo schedule says...
The broadcast will be starting at 2:00 am PST. Meaning that NBC/USA has kindly chosen to tape delay the game so we get to watch it in the primo time slot of 2:30 am on a Saturday night. What a bunch of Canzanos.
Jerry Sloan is a complete and total smeg head.

Everybody around here thinks Comcast is the devil, so the concept that they could be right about something might cause problems.

I just wish we could get a real answer about this. Well, everything except that stupid guide on the NBC Olympics site, and your Tivo guide, seems to indicate a live broadcast to all. 2:30am eastern, 11:30pm pacific.
here is the real answer:
The game will be televised live at 11:30 pm PST on NBC. I just saw it advertised on NBC during the ongoing Olympic coverage. So this is the truth. Live at 11:30 on NBC.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
I wonder if there will be any mention of...

I'll stay up to just after 11:30
If it’s on, I’ll absolutely watch. But if it starts at 2:30, I ain’t stay’n up. I’ll record it and watch it around 6 or 7 am. I’d never be able to stay awake and it would trash my sleep schedule. I sure hope it’s at 11:30.

I'm pretty sure it says...
in the post that you can be a hybrid fan. I like the Seahawks, but every time they play the Rams I hope Steven Jackson has a good game because I’m a huge Beaver fan. I still hope the Seahawks win. Does that make me a traitor? If it does, I’m okay with it. Fantasy sports causes these dilemmas all the time. It makes it tough to be a true fan when you have time and money invested in certain players.

I'm for Spain all the way. I like to root for the under dog, but in this case the one of the under dogs is a Blazer.
I want Rudy to destroy the USA, but Spain will probably be blown out. This is going to be so much fun to watch. Rudy playing against the best defense there is, against fully motivated defense stars. If he plays well in this game he will easily make it in the NBA.

I am rooting for Spain, but trashing on that post and video is just ridiculous. Watching Marvin sing that makes me want to forget about Kobe and Melo and just root for the US of A regardless. Great link TiH, you make a strong case….

its a beautiful rendition of the national anthem from 2000, which Nike recently used as part of an ad.

Huh?
Isn’t that link just the long version of the Nike ad?
And Marvin Gaye originally sung that… lemme Google (since I know his dad killed him long ago)… ok, April 1st, 1984 (Happy April Fools!) Father Gaye shot Marvin Gaye, and he sung that song on… Google Google Google…
1983 NBA Allstar game, I guess.
Could be wrong. Just clicked on a website that loves the rendition.
Did I get something mixed up? The Nike ad using Marvin Gaye’s famous rendition of the national anthem is what we’re discussing right? I feel like I got something mixed up.

I've been watching a bit of the 1977 Blazers-Sixers series this week on Comcast 37...
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
Maurice Lucas was THE MAN...
……………………………… Bill Walton a defensive and crazy outlet passing dude, sort of like a gangly Love.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
In today's NBA, Lucas would have gotten suspended for a couple games for fighting in Game 2 and the Blazers would have lost the series.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
In game 6, in the third Q, they said Walton was game high for ASSISTS.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
Both teams were throwing long outlet passes that you just don't see in the current NBA game.

No, Walton was a stringbean PASSER and rebounder.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
I'll tell you who could play was Doug Collins. That guy could shoot...
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
And Dr. J, of course, was a mega-star.
Those strike me as the 4 huge stars that could play in any era: Lucas and Walton; Collins and Dr. J.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
Lucas was a horse. Looks like 6'10" and stout and a surprisingly soft shooting touch...
Not sure how tall he actually is, but 6’10" is what he looks like on screen.
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
That's why he was on my Blazer's fantasy team ;-)
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."
Trying to stay awake for the game. Here’s a hypothetical question: Where would the “Oregon” Olympic Basketball team finish?
I figure the roster is something like this:
Michael Dunleavy
Michael Doleac
Ime Udoka
Freddie Jones
Aaron Miles
Luke Jackson
Kevin Love
Maarty Luenen
Kyle Singler
Darren Stoudamire
Salim Stoudamire
Brian Jackson
That’s more NBA players than anyone but, uh, team USA. I’d give Argentina and Spain the edge over the Oregonians, but I think the Oregonians are more talented than the Lithuanians. Dunleavy is probably better than anyone on the Lithuania. Love would be solid. The Stoudamires can score. Definitely weak at PG and PF, but plenty of quality wings.

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT RUDY
Even with all of the lobs that turned into turnovers for Rudy, I love love his passing the most. Those lobs will be dunks with Oden and LMA.
If you can't beat Ricky, they try to kill him
And he burns them at the free throw line.
Krikey! Kiteboarding is Kewl!
Wade vs. Rudy. There can only be one.
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."
Rudy would refuse that ad
He doesn’t do those ads unless he gets someone a little more sexy for his other half

coach looks like one of the evil agents in the X files

He did good against China
And did well their last game, the 2nd half at least.
Been Spain’s 2nd leading scorer.
I dunno
He’s had his quarters like this. He hasn’t been doing much playmaking this quarter, just cool step back 3’s that look awful if they miss. He’s playing well, but I actually TOOK OVER at times in other games.
Of course, this is the USA and not China…
If the shots aren't falling, then he is not playing as well.
But he’s 3-3… and has avoided some dumb turnovers.
The few turnovers
Is great, that’s for sure. Especially against the TO forcing USA defense.
Hopefully the Blazers great depth can recreate some of the pressure team USA does (I won’t hold my breath don’t worry).
I count 13 points so far for rudy...
but I’m not mathematician.

man
11 points is still a pretty big deficit, but let’s see how Spain comes out
Man Rudy getting those 4 fouls mighy have been a blessing in disguise. Navaro did a great job filling in for Rudy
and is well rested for the 4th quarter. Win or lose, Spain has given the USA a great fight.
very exciting
Team USA is playing hard on D- diving for loose balls- but Spain is doing a great job taking advantage of their aggressiveness and lack of discipline.
Put Prince or Kobe on Navarro- he’s good, but not this good.

Rudy might not hit 3's
lets remember that the NBA 3 point line is about 2 feet longer…so Rudy knocking it down as easily might not be the case when he plays in our Blazers uni…Lets count on Martell to be the Sharp Shooter
Martell and Rudy have both had teams count on them before
One of them has come through for their team.
I like Martell, but he needs to start showing he can be counted on first. Rudy’s played under pressure, even if in a lesser league.
Did the US boys hit more or less threes than usual?
Just curious.
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."
they shot about
50-60%…so yeah, 2 feet + makes a difference….Rudy didn’t have any pressure…i would be hucking up threes too…nothing to lose in this game. I’d be mindless of the situation like a 10 yr chinese gymnast…

Great game
Went just how I wanted until Rudy fouled out. I didn’t mind Kobe hitting the shot since I was rooting for the USA but I was upset with the foul call.
However, Rudy went toe to toe with the MVP and while he didn’t win the matchup, he absolutely showed he belonged. That jam was SICK.
I knew the US would get a tough game from someone and I’m happy it was Spain and Rudy played a part of it.
Great Olympic tournament and each of the three medal winning team is very deserving of the color medal they will get.

If LeBron or Kobe get it that would be the worst officiating call of the Olympics
Wade was the man.
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."
So Rudy's for real, Nate is recruiting Kobe for our free agent $ next year.
The best part is, Rudy didn’t get hurt. Let the preseason begin!
I'd switch that
LeBron was fantastic. Wade shot 70% or something, though… few turnovers. tons of steals. I actually thought LeBron’s defense was at times a weakness for the team.
Last time you'll here the NBA on NBC song for a while
Get your fill now!
Krikey! Kiteboarding is Kewl!
line up at the end of the game:
Kobe
Wade
James
Paul
Howard
That’s 3 of the top 10 closers of all time, the best point guard in the league and the best center (for now) in the league. Damn this was fun.
whaa happen?
No offense to Amlmart,
but i think there’s about 50 Bedgers who would beg to differ
Maybe co-mvp?

Not to mention the fact that the game was riveting.

Great effort by Spain
Spain was without their starting PG and gave Team USA everything they had.

You guys have a great team there and you have to hand
it to them, they fought their hearts out as a true Spaniard should.
It makes me feel lucky that we will have the pleasure of seeing Rudy in a Blazer uniform this year.
BTW I was rooting for you guys a little more than team USA but all in all a great game regardless.
HAve a good night bud.
Now
We have nothing to look forward to until preseason. It will be a dark time in Bedger land!

His game is official. His jumper is nice. and he posterized dwight.
I was rooting for Team USA
but I still jumped out of my chair and pumped my fist when that happened. LOVED it.

It was beautiful
I’m the same as you; totally rooting for USA to dominate but wanna see Rudy be awesome. Got exactly what I hoped for.
That dunk was tres rad.
Gotta love any player who can hit the triple AND1 go around the slam dunk champ for the hard finish
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."
hair!
is it a foul to pull someone’s hair….Rudy’s thinking “hombre, you just grab my hair i messed up on purpose with gel, now i dunk over you, right?”
At least he didn't grab his shiny armpit hair ;-)

I thought that was disrespectful to the Olympic medal ceremony.

This was an emotional year for them
there was a lot riding on this game…preserving America’s dominance in this sport…I think, for Coach K, it was a patriotic thing ( and maybe for most on the team) But….IMO this was a personal quest for Kobe and Lebron especially Kobe…They wanted to establish themselves as the best in the world and they had to win to do this….the showboating at the end was way too much and they did not acknowledge the Spanish players(one on one) for a great challenge when the odds were stacked against them. The Spanish lost their composure somewhat at the end, but they were in the game the whole route.
PS …Individual play took over, once again for USA. They missed so many opportunities to put the game away…I see no reason, when you have a 3 on 1 break to always go one on one to the hoop(They always think they can beat you with flash) Team play (over emphasized by everyone) was almost non-existant by the US squad….It almost cost them the game ….
I was too negative
In my comments…so I apologize…Some great players on this team…I just thought some let their egos rule their play…Some class players off the bench in Paul, Wade, Williams, Prince & Bosch.

I dunno
I think both teams had a lot of 1v1 play. Rudy and Navarro both went 1 on 1 with their defenders quite a bit. That’s a big part of basketball- let your stars do their things. Navarro and Rudy were brilliant and Pau was great- it just wasn’t quite enough.
I thought it was a great game. Kobe was huge for the US whether Blazer fans are willing to admit it or not. Wade was scintillating just like he was all tournament. Williams and Anthony made huge shots for the US also. It was a team effort and a great game.
Boomshakalaka
Two things that stuck out
for me about the US team was team defense and transition offense(especially on two on one breakaways)…These “star” players always seem to think that they can go to the hoop and use their one on one skills to beat a player or 2…When one simple pass to a more open player gives them an easy hoop. The US missed so many of these opportunities that it made me wonder what they were thinking (or not thinking)…Sometimes if your in a tight game, you need to make better choices at finishing the play… team defense; One of the reasons Navarro went one on one, was the US lack of team defense…They weren’t helping on the drives. You are supposed to stop the ball first and foremost, and force the ball out of the play (team defense)
It was not “smart” play, and although Spain played a great game, the US could have made this game a lot easier for themselves…I do agree it was a great game to watch, but all the pressure was on the US. They just kept putting more pressure on themselves with lack of intelligent play.

You're not my dad
I’m gonna go dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. I don’t need to be safe just cause YOU told me to.
Ok I’ll be safe. But that’s MY choice.
Yep, time to turn in
I can’t wait to here from Dave about this. Maybe Canzano isn’t off his rocker when he said that Rudy could be the 2nd best player on the Blazers RIGHT NOW. Of course, tomorrow I’ll rethink that and start coming down from my cloud.
Rudy just throws himself into it without regard for his body and seems to come out in one piece.
I like that.

What a great game!
I keep thinking how nice it will be in four years when Oden is on the USA team. Rudy had a great game. And I wanted to add a comment so I could be in this historic number of posts. Blazer fans are the best!
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
I would go to see that if anyhow possible

Blazers Fans are my boys
I’m Spanish, I love bball & I watch NBA but i didn’t have a real team to cheer for(I support the teams where play spanish player, except for Memphis, they’re the worst by far), after the olympic final i wanted to kow what USA fans would say after that incredible game and all are too patiotric(you know, their only arguments are USA is the best, International player are soft, no muscle, etc…) but I start reading this post and I couldn’t stop!!! You love basketball, you respect your opponent, you LOVE your team(some of you were cheering for Spain because of Rudy & because Spain was the predictable underdog) and you are funny too. You have made change my mind about NBA, my NBA team since today is PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS!!!! GO BLAZERS!!!! THIS YEAR IS TIME TO COME BACK TO THE ELITE!! RIP city is back on top!!!
greetings from Spain!!!
PD: Rudy posterized Howard!!! OMFG!!

I was rooting for the USA but I have nothing but respect for the way Spain played, missing on of their leaders in Calderon.
That dunk by Rudy was awesome— for a minute I forgot I was rooting for the USA and pumped my fist.

Blazer Down Under
I’m a first time poster from Sydney. Went to my first NBA game last season (vs Cavs; then Knicks at the RG) and I’m now a dedicated Blazer fan. BE will be invaluable for me considering with the time difference it’s three weeks next Tuesday Down Under.
Just wanted to let you know about the horrible coverage we had to endure here for the gold medal game. With five mins to go (and I think it was a five or six point game), they cut to the news for half an hour and then when they came back, they condensed the final 5 minutes into a one minute “highlight package”. I cried… Saw Rudy’s dunk… cried some more. Thanks for having me, keep up the great site
Welcome
thanks for checking out the sight. this is a great place to talk basket-ball. I;ve found the most intelligent, and knowledgable fans ever hear, and have learned soooo much. There is such a veriety of backgrounds, but everybody is respectful, and we all come together on the Blazers. It’s great to have you aboard. Now, get an avatar, and a sig, and well see you again soon.
