Were you laughing like that when Euros beat us in the Olympics and World Championships? I mean, when they beat our "Dream Teams"? I mean, when they made them look foolish? I didn't think so.
He is also completely twisting nearly everything I have ever posted about Rudy, and Andre. I'd respond but since he's responding to things I never said I am at a loss to know what to say. Since Kingspeed drones on post after post, thread after thread about how Rudy had a couple of bad shooting games, always fixating on nothing but points, and ignores other factors such as rebounds, steals, picks set, assist-TO ratio, spacing, team defense, WHY does he ignore my post where I point out that Rudy's season-long AFG% is much higher than both Andre's and Jerryd's?. If you truly care about scoring points and think that's the stat to end all stats, AFG% is your bible. And Rudy is your GOD. Keep trashing Rudy though, if it floats your boat. Doesn't change the facts anymore than your attempts to put words in my mouth.
here you go kingspeed: http://www.82games.com/0910/09POR6.HTM rudy has taken 24% of his shots this season in the last 3 seconds of the shot clock. in compariosn roy took 21% of hit shots and miller 26% of his in the last 3 seconds of the shot clock. so rudy has nothing to complain about. and last season he took 22% of his shots in the last 3 seconds and actually shot a decent percentage so getting the ball late in the clock isn't the problem, missing shots is.
Rudy is not my favorite player, not even my favorite Blazer, but I'll defend any Blazer when people make up shit about them.

Apparently facts don't mean a lot to you...
Who cares about crazy formulas that you make Maris? I could make a formula that makes more sense that yours all do. S2 - Maris = Much better S2 How bout that for a formula?
Apples and oranges, although this is Kingspeed's arguement not mine. Brandon and Andre are the primary ballhandlers and have the ball 21 seconds before settling for their "last second shots". Rudy gets the ball dumped on him when Brandon or Andre run out of time. Jeez, it's like nobody actually watches the games, probably too busy slamming their team on here.
Just out of curiousity, where did you hear all that other stuff Rudy said? I'm just going off of what the hometown paper is reporting. Thanks.
The ignore feature of this board is really nice. I suggest you use it to avoid reading any of this troll's bullshit.
And this is why he is nothing but a troll to me. He doesn't even realize when he's been PROVEN wrong, just keeps jabbering nonsense.
I don't know, are the Euro playoffs really better than the NBA playoffs? I thought that the really good Euro players came and played here, and the players who couldn't cut it here, or weren't NBA ready, went there. I'm still waiting on some facts that a Euro squad can win a championship against a Dream team like the one we had in 08...
Uh, AFG% is not a formula made up by me, it's been used by NBA teams and the media for decades to evaluate the actual effectiveness of a player's shooting contribution to their team. It's a major reason why we drafted and traded for the guys we currently have. I seriously thought you knew that, as any halfway interested fan would.
No, not a single fan I have ever had a conversation with outside of this board has EVER brought up crazy stupid pointless formulas the way you do and then try to use them as evidence. Like, "adjusted menstrual cycle plus in game performance minus nates system for spanish stars over plus/minus = true output for the gheys". Thats what all your shit sounds like.
