    The Blake trade should have re-energized both Bayless and Rudy. With Roy hurt and Miller often playing short minutes, there has been and continues to be plenty of opportunities for those 2 to prove themselves.

    The blunt truth is, Rudy doesn't look like a guy who is out to "carpe diem." Either the back injury is a chronic condition that has derailed his potential - or he is healthy and just isn't putting out the effort.

    I am still willing to cut Bayless some slack, since he appears to be playing *hard*, if not always effectively.

    It's because Toronto has a large Spanish community.

    Hmm--MIXUM may have been right here too (if Quick can be believed). JQ just reported on 95.5 that "the book on Marcus Camby is that he will not play with pain." The way it was conveyed, if his ankle doesn't feel perfect--if there's even a little twinge--he sits himself down. Perhaps this helps explain, (A) all the games he's missed over his career, and (B) why he's still so effective (when on the court) at his current ripe-old age. :dunno:
