ABM & I were on speaker phone (he in Atlanta and I in the Portland area) and he was saying something and I went ballistic. The Portland feed was about 4 seconds ahead of Atlanta so he got a screaming preview from me first.
I don't think that Phoenix would have come back anyway, but it broke their back. Give Sergio some credit too. Great penetration and pass. I could be wrong here but I think by him jumping into the passing lane at the last moment caused the inbounder to change his mind on where to throw it. Which led him not to see Rudy lurking around.
We have the Miracle Minute. Now we have the Miracle Second. Thanks for posting the vid, I'm definitely saving it.
Plays like the penetration and dish make me wonder if Sergio and Rudy just sit in the back of the team plane thinking up plays like this, and then basically telling the other three Blazers to get out of the way while they execute it. I wonder if they let Nate in on their plans as well. These two have been playing so long together, they can sense each other's movements and thoughts, which is one of the reasons that I think Sergio should NOT be traded. For all of his faults and limitations, he and Rudy exist on some kind of wavelength that every once in a while brings spectacular plays like this.
I was in the TNT truck jumping up and down screaming. Almost got in trouble then the producer and director remembered I was from P-Town!
Awesome. Thanks for the clips. I was at work and couldn't even follow the box score since I was in a meeting. Huge statement game for us. This is another step to prove that we have arrived and are worthy to be in the playoffs.
Rudy's a big-time player and seems to show up when the lights shine bright. It looks like he's getting his legs back, and has that bounce to his step. Good to see as we wind down. It's such a luxury to have a guy like him to come off the bench and provide instant offense with Travis.
I was by myself in my friends room and just jumpd up and went crazy.. then just paced the room with a smile so big my cheeks were sore after.
Sergio Rodriguez was extremely effective in his 14 minutes, dishing out a game-high eight assists. (Yahoo! Sports) Fernandez came off the bench to score 23 points to help the Portland Trail Blazers snap the Phoenix Suns' six-game winning streak with a 129-109 victory Thursday night. The rookie from Spain made a career-high five 3-pointers, including one at the buzzer of the third quarter to give Portland a 21-point lead. Fernandez seems to be getting hot in his last three games, averaging 18.0 points and shooting 54.5 percent (12-of-22) from 3-point range over that span. (Yahoo! Sports) Bake it!
Check out this quote from his interview. Apprantly he didn't get the memo that when you're always supposed always say, "We don't care who we play".
Do you mind if I ask why you're in the TNT truck? Do you help them with the shots etc or were you there just observing? I mean does the home broadcasting team usually help TNT?
