Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

He's going to be my FAVORITE BLAZER!

OMGosh did you see Rudy Fernandez play in the gold medal game last night?    Holy  _____  !    This guy is super bigtime!   I'm buying his jersey as soon as I can!!!   He's going to be my favorite Blazer I think!   He's like twice as fast as Brandon, He's fearless, Better Shooter at least He was last night, & a Nice handsome young spaniard - I had no idea he was that good.   He might have been this years (NBA draft) number 1 pick, but We got Him last year!  Great job Kevin - you the man.

If you want his jersey

just oder a personalized Blazer jersey with Fernandez on the back. Although, I don’t know what number he is going to be.

Rudy Fernandez's dunk

was the highlight of my evening. I can’t wait to see him play for the Blazers.

I thought the assist for the alley oop dunk was as impressive

anybody got that one on the tube?

I personally do not always approve of the things my cat wants posted but have to wonder after that #5 ranking if frankly we havent earned it.

Here are some grainy highlights from the medal ceremony and the game, I think this one is in it at the beginning and the end

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFC9Gy49_Bg

The second half is about previous plays by Spain in the World Championships 2006 (which they won) and the Eurobasket 2007 (which they lost by one to Russia).

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."

What I liked best about Rudy was not the dunk

It was that in the biggest game of his career, playing for his country, on a world stage, against the best players in the world, he came up LARGE.

And he’s only 23!

Asked his specialty in the kitchen, Oden paused and said, "Hamburger Helper and tuna fish."

Fanpost on Celtic Green Bandwagon blog about Rudy

Link!

Rudy Fernández – Shooting Guard: He plays the 2 with size (6-6), shooting ability and ups. (At this juncture it is unclear whether or not he likes Michael Jackson.) He also joins Rajon Rondo, Luol Deng, and a host of other guys the Phoenix Suns have drafted (24th in 2007) and traded away. Portland is high on him and the fact that he will play his home games in Oregon this season is yet another reason it’s fun to be a Trail Blazers fan right now. Beyond shooting Fernández earns praise for his court vision, fast break play, and defensive and rebounding efforts.

Asked his specialty in the kitchen, Oden paused and said, "Hamburger Helper and tuna fish."

Oden, Fernandez and Bayless...

Quite a trio to add all in ONE year…

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.
