Obviously--Nate clearly instructed Sergio to discover his missing outside shot, and convinced Bayless to turn the ball over at an excessive rate for the express purpose of inducing a trade with the Knicks.

Or perhaps Sergio just played better than Bayless tonight, which earned him more minutes. Nah--that's crazy talk! :crazy:
 
I don't think so. I think McMillan considers Rodriguez the team's purest point guard so chooses to play him a lot of minutes on his own merits, not for some non-game-related motivation like showcasing him for another team or coach.
 
I highly doubt that "showcasing" happens in the NBA. GM's are in the know and every team has these guys called scouts that know everything about every player in the league.
 
If by "showcase" you mean he went with the best available option tonight, then yes, Nate was showcasing Sergio.

Look, one game isn't going to make or break Sergio's stock around the league, there are plenty of scouts for every team and I'm sure there's a decent body of work they have to go if/when he's ever offered or included in a trade package.

I will say this though, he may have put on a nice audition for his future boss ... he'd probably be a half-way decent backup on a D'Antoni team.
 
I don't think the Blazers were showcasing him. But perhaps, he was showcasing himself to D'Antoni. He pretended that he had a jumpshot today. I wonder if the Knicks bought it.

Why, that can't be true at all. Nate is stuck on his rotations, remember. He doesn't deviate at all based on who is hot or not. :devilwink:
 
maybe Sergio just deserved the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea ...lets get him out of town at all cost. good call mixum.
 
I think he was being showcased tonight, hitting 3's (4 for 5) like no tomorrow. Why didn't he do that in other games? Who put a can of whoop-ass in his ass?

Agreed. I've always thought that the whole idea of "showcasing" was silly. Every team has several scouts and watch every game in the NBA and know whats going on.

It was Yon Yonsen, I mean, Jay Jensen.

Yes.

Sergio was horrible tonight defensively.


Bayless turned the ball over, but the team went up 10 as soon as he came in and Sergio went to the bench.



If not Nate should be fired immediately
 
Sergio was playing pretty well but I do think they might have been showcasing him.

Sergio really should go and play for a quick paced team like NY or GS. I think it would be best for both parties.
 
Sergio played well but came out of the game during his usual time (early first quarter). Bayless wasn't very effective yesterday, so Segio ends up gettting the bulk of the minutes.

In that kind of game, I think Nate is too busy trying to win the game to have time to think about showcasing anyone.
 
Yeah Sergio is not good defensively...but niether is Steve blake...let's be real here.....

and all of you advocating dealing Sergio away...just remember that he is the ONLY PG on this team who seems to know how to run a pick and roll with Greg Oden (or Pryzbilla & LA for that matter)...or who knows how to run a backdoor alley-oop with Rudy.....or set up a teamate up on the fast break...

but Blake can sure set up the offense real good...He hands that ball off to Roy on the perimeter with the best of them...

I wonder why people keep saying Bayless wasn't very effective?

Sergio was a -2 and Bayless was a -1

Bayless came in at 5:56 and Portland down 1

Bayless leaves at :56 and Portland up 7



Second half Bayless comes in and Portland loses it's lead, but when Sergio replaces him they continue to lose the lead.

Bayless played 10 minutes and had 2 FT's. Sergio played 37 minutes and had 2 FT's.

There is more to the game than TO's
 
Whoever can get the ball to ODEN in many different ways and early is the PG you start and keep. B Roy can always take the point when he needs the ball and Oden is not shy passing out of the double back to Roy or LA. Feeding Oden with a PG that can find him is the key!!! B Roys life is easy when that is established.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!!

If other teams teams defenses are focusing on Oden, Roy unguarded can explode not to mention LA. The more touches Oden gets, the better Roy and LA are going to be.
 
I thought Sergio had a pretty good game yesterday, but I don't think he was being showncased. He just had a good game is all. If the Blazers had some magical way of making Sergio looking good whenever a prospective trade partner is in town, I would wonder why they just didnt' do that all the time...

WTF?

You're turning into Mixum now, seeing negatives where they don't exist.

2 steals, forced Duhon into 4 TO's, outscored Duhon 16-10, caused Duhon to miss 2/3 of his shots, outrebounded Duhon 3-1, and kept Duhon from drawing a single shooting foul.

Sergio played great D, disrupted the Nits offense, lit a fire and gathered our players into a very effective offensive unit.

No way we would have won this game with anyone else getting his minutes.

No you are just taking it hard because you love Sergio. Sergio got burned plenty of times, but so did a lot of the Blazers tonight. Also you seem to forget that he wasn't on Duhon the whole time. Why don't you mention how many point Nate Robinson scored?
 
NY is a team known to play little defense. Sergio is the best at getting the ball to open teammates. This is magnified by the Knicks' poor defense. So, IMO, that's why...he fit better for this game.
 
I think that Sergio played pretty well... Bayless got a pair of turnovers and, IMO, ticked Nate off a bit and never really got back in the groove.

No showcasing, I don't think. Nate is more interested in winning every game than in showcasing anyone.

Exactly. In theory, if you are winning every game you shouldn't have to worry about "showcasing" because you have a pretty good team.
 
Outlaw was a LOT worse on defense than Sergio was....


and it wasn't even close.....

Bad is bad. Saying one is worse than the other is like trying to say rotten Limburger cheese smells worse than an open sewer :dunno:
