    I know coach said he was key to Game 4, but I think that was just good coaching. I see nothing except bricks. Get him out of there!

    Totally agree. Something tells me he won't be back next season.

    Yes, Rudy is a defensive stalwart.

    Rudy is working on what will be "the next big thing" in the NBA, V-Goggles! It's what players flash when they're playing like a giant vagina.

    I'm trying to imagine what a giant vagina would play like, and I think it would be pretty good on defense.

    No... that guys would tend to shoot right into it. They'd put the ball in the hole.

    well I read yesterday he fired his agent and hired a new one - maybe he knows something is "up" after this year?

    Rudy is playing well defensively.

    I love how Rudy gets his own thread for playing poorly.

    Where's Camby's epic thread for 70% of this season?

    Where's Wes' thread anytime he's anything other than a catch & shoot SG or a pesky defender?

    Where's Nico's thread for being one of the worst rebounders for his height/length in the league or for generally being soft and passive?

    Where's Nate's thread for running an offense that lives and dies around the outside jump shots of Andre Miller and Gerald Wallace?

    Where's a thread generally complaining about how we have less than no bench production?

    The fact of the matter is that we BARELY have 1 reliable scorer, let alone 2. If you look at the most successful teams in history, they know where the bulk of their points are coming from. Outside of LaMarcus, you can't say that about this team...

    Agree with Glazeduck. When one actor sucks, it's bad acting. When they all suck, blame the movie's Director. It's McMillan.

    From another board, about Aldridge:

    "12 points, and nobody calls him out. You guys only call out the undrafted 2nd year player, the cripple, and the Euro player...I don't get it."

    I would like Mills to get some of Rudy's burn, just to see if something clicks. The one thing Mills has is confidence shooting the 3. It looks as though Rudy's confidence from the perimeter has been completely shot to hell. In order for the Blazers to have any shot in the playoffs, we need some knock down threes. Can Mills hit em? I don't know, but I do know Rudy can't.

    thats for fucking true! he hasnt even attempted to shoot really i swear and if there is any key to this game right now is to make them be honest on defense and to hit the 3 point shot

    So, uh. Did anyone else watch Dre's interview from the locker room on blazers.com?

    Saw a little too much of Rudy right there.
