    He's a streaky streaky shooter.

    Too bad we keep leaving him open.

    I thought he was washed up before the start of last year but he has been a lot better then I thought he would be at Atl.

    You know, I wouldn't be upset to see both halves of the Spanish Armada elsewhere next year. Neither plays defense. Rudy is too streaky.

    Fun to watch at times, but neither has the kind of consistency I would like to see.

    Gramps...

    And of course, as soon as I say, I wouldn't be upset to see them gone, they go and have a nice play to finish the quarter.

    Gramps...

    Like other Blazer fans, I've become very attached to Rudy. Even when he isn't playing very well he still seems to find ways of making the guys around him better. Plus, he's just plain fun to watch.

    He's a better Blake, if you will. Not the greatest penetrator, better passing, same streaky shooting as Blake. He just shoots more.

    Re: Hawks vs. Blazers Game Thread

    I'm starting to think the same thing. I do still think Rudy has a chance to be a real good player and not sure we use him right or maybe it's his fault. I think we could get something pretty good for Rudy though.

    He isn't a great defensive player but if you watch him tonight he is a lot better then Blake or Serrgio.

    Frye just drives me crazy. I guess he just isn't any good.

    He's shown some flashes. I just don't think he's a good fit for this team.

    We've only shot five free throws?

    Nobody can shoot FT's on the Blazers anymore.

    The ref is an arsehat for giving a tech for that.

    We need to build this lead. The Hawks are grinding it out on us right now.

    I have a new rule idea.

    RUDY FERNANDEZ CANNOT SHOOT TECHNICALS!

    We seem to regularly rack up the fouls early in the 4th.

    It's not just Rudy.

    Man, we're in the penalty already...

    Blake and Roy play so well with each other. We missed that while Blake was out.
