Rudy's thoughts from his blog's last post
"...but I want to focus on the good things from the game. First of all with my teammates, they're such great guys... We all support and help each other, and that's why we overcome so many difficulties during the season. They've helped me a lot. When things don't click, having your teammates cheering you up this way is amazing."
"I want to thank again to the fans. Even if I haven't played well they still chant my name. I'm out of words. Thanks to them I forget about everything. Really, I play for theas team and this fans. I really feel them."
"This year is being difficult, you all know. But I want to make it clear that it's not a wasted year, I'm maturing a lot, and this are things an athlete has to go through. Sophmore years have always been hard for me, my second year at Joventut I injured myself too and didn't play well. I overcame it there because I was with my family, with a coach who really trusted me... Here it's different, and that's why I growing. That's the way the NBA is and there are no excuses."
"This last days I've tried not to think about anything else and just focus on giving my best. That's why when I've hit those three threes in a row I've felt rage and joy at the same time. They came a little late, but those were feelings I didn't have on the court since a long time ago. I need confidence amd I know that here I have to build that confidence myself. I'm the same way, ready for whatever may come and to give always my best. We'll see what happens next."

It’s nice to see this team with 50 wins and in the playoffs, but I don’t want to see everyone pushed so far that the team just tears itself apart.
I am perpendicularly pissed off right now!!!!!!

I really like Rudy
I really hope those treys he made today help him get his mojo back. & thanks DaniBCN for the great post!
fear leads to the dark side.
"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.
"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

No words left
to make his situation any better. He shouldn’t say anything until he plays well. I still like Rudy, but there is simply no excuse for this poor play. It’s not his shots. He’s not boxing out, not play aggressively, just flat out not trying. I lost much respect for him this series, and it won’t come back until he proves himself as a player that wants to win, not just play.

Rudy needs to go out and kill in the Blazers final 2 games of the season...

Final 2?
Don’t you mean final 3? You don’t want him to wait until we’ve won the next game, do you? I’d rather have him for all of our three more wins.

Nice one
running into this right after the Blazers won makes me happy. Nice prediction.
Although, I have to admit that if forced to predict, I’m not sure I would have disagreed.

Wanna see more
Rudy. The guy who looks like him on the court is an insufficient replacement. Hoping we get to see Rudy play healthy (mental and physical). I don’t expect there is time for that to fully come together during the playoffs but a guy can wish.
