    I'm glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that. I saw him slam his towel down. And Camby did a sort of pat him on the back gesture.

    I will be disappointed if he isn't moved this off-season. Mixum must be really confused about everyone agreeing with him.

    He probably threw his back out stuffing his head up his ass.

    I think we should trade him for LeBron while we still can...

    Wait, probably to late.

    The more emotional Rudy gets, the more I like him. Right now he's very down on himself, on McMillan's system, on I don't know what. His conscious mind doesn't know it, but the emotion is a self-motivation technique.

    This is how stars are. He developed a self-image of stardom in Europe and he's mad that he can't live up to his own expectations here.

    Consider the alternative. This thread seems to want him to be a nice guy, the type the Oregonian loves, fuzzy and interview-friendly. No raw emotion please. But many top stars are unlikeable and work themselves into a frenzy before games. I remember when the Blazers went down 0-2. Walton bashed in a locker. They won that series, the championship.

    I hope Rudy throws more towels on the floor for a couple of years until he figures out what he needs to. He's learning to be as intense as Bayless, and since he has more talent, when he absorbs Bayless' personality he'll be better than Bayless. He may have been traded by then, but the emotion that disgusts all of you will push him up the mountain.
