Blazers report from ESPN Insider

What will Maris do without a Spanish scrub on our team? Maybe we should bring over Claver just so Maris can have someone to drool over.

 

It's a shame that in his 2nd year he only managed 98 then, huh?

It's also a shame his 3P% went down from .499 to .368 and his TS% went down and his WS/48 is 2/3rds of what he did as a rookie.

Time to accept that the Days if the Rookie Fernan are over.

 

Back injuries have ended a lot of NBA careers. Just ask Nate McMillan.

 

yes.

 

Is anyone aware that he missed half the season and was both catching up and recovering during the rest of the season?

 

I love Rudy and want him back! And on a side note, Stephan Curry broke his 3 point mark last year.

 

What the eff does that matter? Rudy does not want to be here. Dude has not played well last year when given the chance. Be it because of injury, lack of desire, pettiness, whatever. Fact is, it is clear that this is time to move forward. I do not hate Rudy, I used to love him as a player and still wish he would be great for this team - but this is not going to happen, injury or not, given his behavior. Time to move on. Dude was either injured much worse than we were told at the end of the year, or he is a quitter - but anyway you slice it - it's time to move on.

I wish Rudy the best, I think that despite his whining ways the organization should try to help him as much as possible by trading him - even for a future pick - because I do not forget that he did take a big paycut to come play here, but - overall, this union is done.

Rudy is a nice player, he has some real talent and he has some real holes in his game - but at this point - I can not do anything but question his heart and I am looking forward to a resolution.

 

What te eff does whining have to do with the post to which I responded, in which you said nothing about that. All you said was that his stats decreased from Year 1 to Year 2.

Yes, his total 3s went down, but in the same proportion as his minutes did.

 

Yup. A bruised ego has a long recovery time.
