    There's just no way around it. Both Brandon and Rudy must be in the game at the end. Roy is going to either have to play as PG or SF.

    I'll agree with that. Reggie was insane when curling off screens and going side to side and all over the place. Rudy was doing just that and running circles around Artest, it was quite hilarious seeing Artest fall down and basically give up a few times.
    But Artest is one hell of a player, that dude is physical and intense and is one of the most underrated in the league.

    Rudy is unlike any other player in the league. He plays with flare and passion, something you don't see very often. Even simple passes seem miraculous when Rudy does them. I was watching him during warm-ups practicing his look away passing with Frye.

    If he is like anyone, he is like a poor man's Pistol Pete.

    Pop doesn't play him big minutes because he's made of glass.

    I agree with this. I think Rudy is a unique talent. Great vision. Great long range shooting. Great leaping ability. He's also a big game player. I'm very glad we have him on our team.

    Petro wasn't nearly as athletic or fluid as Rudy. Petro was a better shooter though.

    He reminds me of Petro in the way he is constantly moving without the ball.

    I see. In that way, I agree.

    There is a similarity to Petro that way.

    He reminds me a lot in his play and value to the team like Bobby Gross. Anyone else see that in him?
