    Apparently it's a camera, because they just showed some very shaky footage from it.

    Rudy narrowly outruns the Nic chasedown and dunks.

    Big 3 by Sergio. He and Calderon have been the difference this quarter (mainly Calderon). France will have Parker next time, though.

    Nic's looked pretty bad down the stretch - missed shots, turnovers, missed assignments...

    Sergio has been the reverse - scoring every time, stealing the ball...

    Sergio looks like a smaller more Mexican Rick Ross!

    They're playing again, this time in France. France leads at halftime 43-41, Batum with 17.

    France blew it, largely thanks (again) to Sergio. They were leading in the 4th but Spain came from behind to win 85-84. Parker and Gasol leading scorers (unsurprisingly) and it looks like Batum didn't score a point after half time. Rudy had a key steal that led to the winning possession. Meanwhile the Spaniard currently on the Blazers' roster was a complete non-factor.

    Sergio, since growing that beard, has become a force, is considered one of the best PGs playing in Europe. Claver is solid but you can't count on a player who's absolutely not a threat to score. Batum tends to disappear on offense, has ups and downs confidence-wise but man, I just love this player, his attitude, his smoothness, watched him in their first meeting and became nostalgic thinking we could theoraticaly have had a starting 5 of Lillard/Roy/Nic/LMA/Oden with Rudy, Sergio... The amount of talent on the Blazers since 2006 is (was) amazing.

    Boob will be here soon to cite the usual stats on Sergio being a bad shooter. If only Sergio and Rudy had arrived here under a different coach. I feel sorry for referees who have to live out of their backpacks.

    I'm in the "Nate ruined Sergio and Rudy" camp. Cue Maris. It took Sergio a while to find his groove again. If we had a healthy Roy and Oden, we'd never have 'qualified' to draft Lillard.
