    :sigh:

    His fragility is becoming an issue. He wants more minutes, and sometimes he actually plays like he deserves them....but his body can't seem to handle the pounding of what he is getting now.

    That's a tough loss for us against a team like the Suns. However, we've perservered all season; I don't see how the loss of a player phases this team much anymore.

    It just means more time for Bayless to shine in his hometown.

    This team tends to rally and play harder when someone goes down to an injury.

    Maybe Rudy's injury is just what this team needs entering into this HUGE game tonight. Way to take one for the team Rudy.

    If the Blazers can win tonight and with SA playing OKC tomorrow, it's moving time.

    Spurs take on the Hawks today. You forgot about that.

    So ... maybe Nic will pick up the minutes Rudy was using, which could bump him up to 30+ and Martell can probably play just as 'good' on defense and even hoist a few jumpers at the net in a 15 minutes?

    If this is what has to happen for McMillan to finally give Nic over 30 minutes, there's a silver lining.
