Rudy Reminder

PrintA reminder that Spain and Greece play each other today, being televised during the 11:00 p.m. Pacific Time Olympics block on USA network. The Blazers' press release said the game itself would be televised at 11:30 p.m. We'll see about that. I'll be sacrificing sleep to observe our newest shooting guard ply his trade and we'll bring you a recap tomorrow.

awesome!
This is the most exciting Blazer related event since draft day.

Yep. I'm taking tonight off to watch Rudy.

The important question.
Followed by an even more important answer.
Thank you both, gentlemen.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
Thanks tom!
errr… maybe I should look at the link as you’re awfully fond of pulling legs, frying them, and then munch on them while making loud happy noises.

I am gonna DVR it
That oughta be cool!!!
"There something going on with that Skipper. No one gets that fat eating coconuts"
I am definitely staying up for this one
I just hope they really show it at 11:30. Like Dave said it is in that 11:00 block of Summer Olympics on The USA network. I would think a Basketball game against Team USA’s two biggest threats would be a broadcasting priority for a Cable channel showing the Olympics at the same time as NBC, but you never know.
well...for most blazer fans
not as much for those of us from outside the US who would love to see the stacked US team disappoint again. kind of the same way we like to see duke go out early in the tourney every year and the yanks not get to the world series. maybe if broy was on the team, but he’s not, so Im all spain!
Defensive coach McMillan to Team USA:
“Rudy’s the most dangerous player they have; go out there and hurt him.
I don’t care how you do it, just make sure he never walks again.”
Team USA: [slow weird stupid blinks and bank stares]
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
I remember when dave would break down games the day before. Now he's just telling us what time they are on.
That little point guard is a burden on Blazer’s Edge. Dave needs to hire an au pair.

An "au pair" of what?
Pants? Aces?
"There something going on with that Skipper. No one gets that fat eating coconuts"
Mhm, can't replace Dave but here are a few quick hints what to watch for
Russia – Iran: Iran looked horrible playing in summer league in Utah, but then quickly improved in the pre-Olympic exhibition games, beating pretty strong European nation Serbia. Their 7’2 center raised some eyebrows among NBA scouts. Still, Kirilenko & Co. have to win this one.
Germany – Angola: Nowitzki, Kaman & Co. need to win thins one against the presumably weakest team in the group, or they can all but pack to go home. Angola gave them trouble in the last world championships though, sending the game to double or triple OT.
Spain – Greece: On the Spanish squad, apart from a young SG playing for Portland next season that some people here seem to be interested seeing in action, watch for teenage prodigy Ricky Rubio who apparently is already much better than Spanish Chocolate and two shaggy big men named Pau and Marc Gasol ;-)
On the Greek squad, watch for huge point guard Papaloukas (6’7) put fear in the hearts of his opponents using a number of high pick and rolls (I would guess the US will have to use Kidd or maybe even Kobe to defend him, he would just overpower everybody else). All team members play at home in Greece, and are used to playing with each other since they were teenagers. A lot of the guys are dangerous outside shooters, especially the guards. 6’9 mini center Sofoklis “Baby Shaq” Schortsianitis who gave the US a lot of trouble at the last world championships is also back on board.
All in all, note how team oriented both Spain and Greece play and how well they defend. Judging from previous European and World Championships, this could be one of the best games in the tournament, worthy of a semi-final.
Lithuania – Argentina: On paper Argentina has the better individual players, but Lithuania can get really hot shooting threes. Everybody on the team can hit from outside, even power forwards and centers. Undoubted leader of the team is Sarunas Jasikevicius, a role he was never really given in the NBA. Nuggets forward Linas Kleiza is also on the team. Interesting matchup. Oh, and you might be able to catch a glimpse of our unsigned draft pick Federico “The Stache” Kammerichs playing for Argentina, as pointed out in a fanpost a few weeks ago, though he very likely will never suit up for Portland ;-)
Croatia – Australia: Australia should be the favorite here, giving the US a warning shot in the last pre-Olympic exhibition game. Though Croatia has a few interesting players, including former NBA guard Planinic and next year’s addition to the roster in Toronto, PG Roko Ukic.
USA – China: The US needs to win this one against presumably the second weakest team in the group. China is very unbalanced, with a strong frontcourt (Yao, Yi, Wang) and a pretty mediocre backcourt. Their guards are pretty lousy, one can’t dribble, one can’t score, and all look out of control at times. Huge 6’9 guard Sun Yue was a second-round pick by the Lakers in last year’s draft, and will be on their roster next year. If that’s reason enough to hate him already, start to hate. As for the US, they undoubtedly have the strongest individual players in the tournament who are athletically superior to most other players. But questions remain if they can play as a group under pressure and if they can adapt to the peculiarities of FIBA basketball. Probably these questions will remained unanswered today, as China won’t give them much trouble. Expect the fans in the arena root heavily for their team, but ooohhh and aaahhhh any dunk by team USA at least as loud.

Thanks
As expected, so far Russia beat Iran 71 – 49. Didn’t see too much of that game as swimming was on, Kirilenko and Holden apparently couldn’t be stopped by Iran.
Likewise Germany dominated Angola 95 – 65. They were quickly up by 20 thanks to solid play from Kaman (top scorer, quick post moves, should wax the nasty hair on his shoulders). Nowitzki played good while being on the floor less than usual today (hit a heavily contested nice three at the end of the second quarter), and Germany also got a good effort from guard Hamann who is known as efficient when driving to the basket but in this game also hit some outside shots which isn’t his strength. The bench looked solid (much younger than in previous tournaments, planning for the generation after Nowitzki) while not frightening. Solid coaching with well placed timeouts. Germany could afford to mostly play theirs scrubs from the middle of the third in order to get the starters some rest for the hard next game against Greece. And they demonstrated Olympic spirit by almost all sporting Olympic rings shaved or colored in their hair ;-)
As for Angola, they shot very well from the three point line and put some effort into rebounding, but overall looked overwhelmed. The team is small, the average height is just around 6’4. They confirmed that they are the clear outsiders in this group.
Next up, Rudy against Greece.

Does anyone have digital cable?
I have 8 Olympics channels in HD and two more that are not in HD. One is just for basketball and one is just for soccer. Does anyone get the HD Olympic basketball channel? Starting at 8:00 PM my time USA will play basketball for 12 hours, and the basketball channel will play 12 hours of basketball starting at 8:30 PM. I have them both set to record because my guide from the local paper lists Arentian vs. Lithuania at 8:00 PM on USA.

Rudy > MJ ;-)
Where is myemic23 when you need him?
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
I say
He’s a playmaking wing.
I don’t think he’s big enough to be a 3, not quick enough to guard 1’s, but he can play both positions on OFFENSE.
If we do a 3 guard lineup (Roy/Bayless/Rudy) we’ll have to figure things out defensively.
He can be a PG on offense though, easy. He’s got a great first step and is a real good passer (not shown so much in this game). Even once he beefs up in a year or two he’ll be pretty small for a SF… under 6’5” without shoes.
great defense.. so far

Okay, I had a better view. I'll give you 6'2, maybe 6'3"... He runs all hunched over and looks smaller.

He does hunch over, so I agree with that.
He’ll be measured officially next pre-draft, cause he’s supposed to be entering it.
Their former club
lists Rudy as 1.96 m and Rubio as 1.90 m
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Sounds accurate
Draft express sez Rudy is 6’4.75” without shoes, an even 6’6” with shoes.
Measurements taken before the 2005 draft.
6'2 and 6'4" -- I'll buy.
I think Rudy is a little bigger than that, actually.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
He looks bigger, for sure
Maybe it’s because he’s lanky, but he looks taller than 6’5”.
Maybe he grew? Was measure when he was 19/20, and I grew after those ages still.
Strong 2nd Quarter!
2nd Q – Looked aggresive, playing some D.
Didn’t think he looked that good in the 1st. Seemed kinda tight and had some Defensive lapses.
For some reason
I just don’t get the feeling Marc Gasol is going to be any good.

I always get distracted by Jeremy Piven's hair plugs
He was totally bald in that crappy movie PCU and now he has hair. I wonder if he went to hair club for men or is that like a murkin or something? Oh, I couldn’t concentrate during the Sixth Sense either because I was riveted by Bruce Willis’ toupe. Please no more toupes or hair plugs for actors, it’s very distracting and takes away from the plot development.

Agreed but I'm not too worried.
Despite Rudy putting up 90 points, 20 steals, 20 rebounds and 10 assists against us we will still win. Rudy will be so disappointed in his Spanish team mates that he will vow to never play for Spain again, and spend the remainder of his years winning championships with us.

If a perfect vet isn’t available, we won’t be hurt too much at all. Definitely don’t need a vet just to get a vet—these kids do the right thing on their own and we got leaders out the ying yang. Only thing we need to prove is an inside/halfcourt/non-jump shooting game and that we ain’t soft.

I wonder how long it takes them to replace a backboard, and do they have a crew, you know, like a pit crew, that works as fast as they can, training to not waste any motion, to get the basket replaced as soon as possible?
they’ll have highlights on espn, of the top ten fastest Oden destroyed basket replacements of the season. teams will compete for the best times.

"He doesn't let grass grow under his feet when there are points to be had." - Dave
Will have to watch more Olympic games to reach a final pre-NBA verdict
But right now I would say his offensive drive is as good as I had expected from highlight videos and former international games (Eurobasket, World Championship), he is not afraid to shoot when open and his defense is at least decent. He hustles for rebounds and steals, which might be a little dangerous but we have good big men to back him up. Sometimes he goes into dribbles on offense without really having a plan, and then making dangerous passes while in the air or stuck between two guys. All in all, we got us a good roster upgrade me thinks.

I mean, If you care. Maybe a couple familiar faces playing for the South American team.
I just finally pulled myself away from the TV and found and INCREDIBLE number of posts to read. I’m impressed, freaking surprised, kinda proud and a little worried to see the pure scope and magnitude of this thread.
WOW!
I think Rudy’s steal/Dunk and his acrobatic rebound follow on near successive plays made me want to see him come blazing off the bench this winter—to toy with some unsuspecting second unit. He’s like a taller Danny Ainge if Ainge played with more hops and beauty—Rudy’s pesky on defense (although we saw how that can set you up to be schooled), he’s a deep threat, and a he’s working a little above everybody else with his great body control and breakneck pace.
Me gusto acrobacias.
