Another update on Rudy's condition from Spanish media: Spanish Link

Some highlights:

 

Thanks for the update, yuyu

 

Then you would have hit me with a beer and I would have been pissed.

 

Ed O. playing contrarian in hopes of invoking excitement on the board. I've seen this same song and dance going on 6 years.

 

He's always been a cheap shot artist.

 

Ah yes, the politician's answer, "I don't recall".

PapaG, like your new avi.

I had heard, from Mike & Mike, that Rudy seemed OK, at least he was conscious and moving all limbs. I thought then even if he has a cracked rib or separated shoulder or something, you DO recover from those injuries. A spinal injury is another matter. I think relief was a factor in the Blazers celebrating. Also, it's clear that at least Sergio went to the hospital.

As for them not gathering around Rudy on the floor, the docs and trainer got there very fast. I think the correct thing to do for the players and coaches was to stay away and let the medical professionals do their job unimpeded.

Farmar and Gasol clearly showed concern for Rudy. If Ariza hasn't got the ovaries to apologize, he should just sit down and shut up. Stupid boy. Even assuming no intent to really harm, as Spud says, hell, if you accidentally bump into someone on the sidewalk you should say "excuse me".

 

I think if Ariza had not intended to lay Rudy out, he wouldn't have gotten so uppidy after the foul. It was sorta one of those "by accident on purpose" deals. That little bitch knew what he was doing....just keep it real.

 

I wish Rudy the best. Sucks to get taken out like that when the game was basically over.

On a different note--hopefully when Rudy comes back he'll start to realize that high-flying 175 pound guys just don't last long in the NBA. He's either got to adjust his game and take the conservative layup in that position, or he's got to add about 15-20 pounds of muscle in the off-season. It's just not realistic to expect to have a long NBA career with his body type and playing style.

 

it will be shameful for oden if rudy did return wednesday.... shameful.

 

Not really.

 

Dumbest post EVER - and that says a lot.

BNM

 

you know it and i know it.... oden is a pussy and would be out for the season (isnt he already)

least rudy seems tough and actually LIKEs to play.

 

Hey, at least most of us are tough and actually LIKE to make reasonable posts.

 

After a great win over the team with the best record in the league the only thing you can say is still negative. Go back to your hole we didn't miss you. Really!!!!!

 

good thing for most fans the laker game was a blowout....

i was thinking divison title after watching us vs the pacers and twolves

bottom line... if rudy is out for more then a week.... we are screwed and anyone wanna bet rudy is back 2-3 weeks before oden

 

Welcome to ignore. I've been participating in online forums on various topics for over 19 years. All forums are populated with people who deserve to be ignored, but this is the first time I have ever resorted to using the ignore feature.

You just troll, troll, and troll without adding anything useful to the discourse. I hope others will join me in ignoring you and you will eventually get the message, or at least stop being self-amused and simply go away. It would truly make this forum a better place.

I don't think you understand how the human anatomy works and how body parts recover.

 

truth hurts

hey all im saying is.... oden seems like a piece of glass at this point. you know it, i know it, and the blazers know it.

rudy on the other hand has played through injuries all year like joel. oden milks them for all they are worth.

 

I told the dude that i'd rep him if he said anything positive. He couldn't do it.
