Thankfully the Hornets can still lose to Phoenix, Memphis, and Dallas. I think we can potentially afford one more loss (but it cannot come to Memphis) and still be able to keep 6th.
Dallas is only one game ahead of OKC, so they may not rest starters against the Hornets. And the Mavs will have the home court for that game.
Not sure "always" is the best way to describe it since he only had 1 TO in 21 minutes. But then I again I don't like him at the PG position unless Rudy starts hitting some open 3's to spread the floor. The offense as a whole has not looked very good the last two games. Regardless who is in the ball game. Miller has had a tough couple of games too.
Just finished watching the game........... have not read this thread. Did anybody else notice Nic steady holding his back, even at the end of the game? Also, on the Blazers 2nd to last possession, LA tweaked his ankle and was limping off the court at the end of the game.
Man was that weird sitting in front of my TV at home watching this game! My wife said to me, "Do you always act like this?!?" Sloppy game....... I'll take the "W"! Too bad Kobe and friends were chillin' here in Portland watching the game. I wish our starters hadn't had to play so many minutes, but like I said I'll take the win! Hope LA and Nic's injuries are minor and can be effective tomorrow.
Rudy was also tweeting about his back acting up. For all the hate i'v given Rudy and his inconsistency he really hasn't been the same player since Ariza sent him to the floor.
Whatever the reason, he is just not producing. If I was McMillan, i would give him one game in the playoffs; if he doesn't hit his shots, take him out of the rotation. But do we have enough guys without him?
Yeah we do. We have more than enough perimeter players. Rudy isn't needed and I would like to see him on the bench.
