Nuggets at Blazers or Rudy and Dre's homecoming

[BoBoBREWSKI]

or Felton fired up to kick the crap out of his former team. I like that headline better.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Go Blazers?

I thought it was hilarious that Miller got a very warm ovation, with many people standing, when he entered the game for the first time, and a couple minutes later Rudy was soundly booed when he entered the game. It's very rare for Portland fans to boo a former Blazer. Most guys who play here continue to be appreciated for the had work they put in while wearing the Blazer uniform. Of course, most also don't constantly whine about playing time, demand to be traded and threaten to leave and return to their native land rather than stay in Portland.

Andre got what he deserved, and so did Rudy.

I'm fairly certain Rudy will have a big game, but I won't be happy about it. That guy pouted and sandbagged it for a year and half -- Not a professional and not worthy of our cheers.

Amen! I have no animosity towards Andre, but Rudy can suck mud.

This is bullshit. Neither Andre nor Rudy complained about minutes. Andre had the big blowup, not Rudy. When it was obvious Rudy wouldn't succeed as a Blazer, management mysteriously and incompetently didn't trade him while his value was high, and no one could understand it. In a professional way, his agent then asked for a trade. They and I couldn't understand why management didn't do it. Everyone knew that Rudy wouldn't get much time anymore.

I don't know what you guys are seeing, but I've always seen Rudy as the hardest working guy out there. He certainly moves around a lot more than Andre. Rudy's problem is that Pritchard overpromised us and built false expectations. For a late 1st rounder, he was better than most. We got more than we gave.

Bull dada. Rudy's problem was that he showed us what he could do as a rookie. Even I, who was "bearish" on him from the begining, expected him to show modest improvement from there. Instead, he became progressively *less* useful over the rest of his time as a Blazer. He complained when he didn't play big minutes - and played like a dog when he did.

I know you're just trolling, so I won't bother wasting my time digging up all the links of Rudy whining to the press, both in Portland and Spain, about his role on the team, demanding to be traded, threatening to not honor the last two years of his contract, etc. You're a big boy. I'm sure you've heard of google. A couple of quick searches will get you all you need to know about Rudy. I suggest you start with: Rudy Fernandez whining. And follow that with: Rudy Fernandez demand. That should be enough to get you started.

Hehe. You know what they say, "Don't bullshit a bullshitter."

Look at all the ones that came up for the second one. You're famous!

The first one (Rudy Fernandez whining) got a bunch, like this.

http://www.lockerpulse.com/News/Rudy-Fernandez-whining-away-the-Wednesday-S293064/

All that says is that Rudy wasn't happy here. It doesn't say, but I assume, that what he didn't like is the slowdown style, which does not optimize his speedy abilities, and the expectation that he's a great shooter, when he's only a decent one. But it doesn't say that, and it certainly doesn't say what you guys say is out there, that he demanded more minutes. I remember that writers insinuated that, but never had anything specific to say other than, he wants out.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Mark HCP's words...... Rudy will light us up tonight! I think we will win, but he will fill it up. Hope he drills a 3 and 3 goggles it!

I marked Mrs HCP....well scarred more than marked. I lit her up, filled her up and drilled her 3 times. No goggles though

 

[Nate Dogg]

Rudy stunk on 3 point shooting (1-5). No surprise there. Enough said.

I know this is an ongoing joke, but I think this was a little tasteless.

Is every guard a great 3-point shooter? Why aren't you accusing them of dogging it, too?

Andre Miller misses most of his 3s. Why don't you boo him for it, like you do Rudy?

I see a guy more active than most other guards who just misses most of his baskets when pressed to shoot at an NBA pace. This is not from lack of effort. He can make twice as much in Europe and he's eager to return. I see nothing wrong with his wanting to maximize his earning power.

Pretty immature to boo him or even to think about doing it.

I already laid out the challenge for someone to find links showing Rudy demanding more playing time. Such quotes do not exist. Some writers made insinuations, at the gossip level of a message board, but had no such information. Rudy (and I) was mystified as to why the Blazers wouldn't trade him and let him try one more team before returning to Europe. So he honestly said he wanted to return. But he played his hardest for us after that. To repeat, saying he dogged it is bullshit.

If John has any issue in he slightest with it I will stop immediately. Otherwise, keep your fucking opinions about my non Blazer posts to yourself. We all get it by now. You don't like what I post. Place me on ignore, or simply don't read my posts. You look for any little thing I type and look to bash me for it, like you did with Aldridge last night. Then someone else ACTUALLY bashes Aldridge and you become the Sgt Schultz of the forum.

I don't give a flying fuck if John doesn't care. Fact is I think it's tasteless. Lmao about making this about how the forum picks on you. I think that's fucking hilarious. You posted something tasteless and I said it, then you cry cause I jumped on you about Aldridge? How does this pertain to drilling his wife 3 times?

It doesn't.

The forum does, and you are like their little muppet leader. We are both avid Blazer fans, who have different views on the team. Let's leave it at that? It's absolutely not crying. You seem to search my posts out and jump all over them at first sight.

Lol shall I be like you and go cry to the mods for your "name calling". Fucking grow some skin and take my criticism. And don't tell me it's none of my business. You posted it publically therefor everyone can have an opinion on it. If you want no one to comment about drilling his wife, then pm him. Otherwise stfu.

Oh and I jumped on one of your comments and apologized for it. Then you accept my apology then bring it up later. Who the fuck you think you are?

Wouldn't be like me. I don't pm the mods about that shit. I bring it up in the threads to piss people off

You seem a little tense tonight. By the way,

It's ok, I am used to it. But it wasn't negative.

I guess that is accepting your apology?


Oh and ps. I wasn't calling you a name, I was calling most of he forum, Muppets. I complimented you on being their leader. Great job

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damn it, I wanted to be the Muppet leader!

I think both of you guys need to just figure out a way to blame me for this, I'll take you punks both on!

You definitely come off as more of a Kermit than Mags does. I always picture Beaker when I read his posts. Plus your forum name is in green

Hmmm, I seek you out and try to pick on you?

Well with seeing this, First hand, I must concede to MM and other like him. The posters that preached against the "Roy ISO offense"; that I adamantly defended. I was a true Homer of the idea that quality offense was better than quantity. From the looks of how we are now; I bet players are happier (with more shots). This is definitely a "Win Win" situation, IMO.

Yeah looks like I can't stand you huh?

I don't know if you are pissed about something I said last night; which I apologized for mind you, or you have this "forum martyr" label you put on yourself. I actually like what you post about the team. I like your angle. Hell I even said I love you on the fucking thread you accused me of getting on your case about Aldridge.

And me backing off from the next comment about Aldridge is when I already apologized and didn't want to contradict myself of my apology. It's weird, that me saying one comment bothers me gets you to tell me to mind my own business, ignore or block you. Fucking crazy!

P.S. MM, let's move on. Don't want to go back and forth about it. Sorry I was offended by your comment about drilling HCP's wife.

Drilling her 3 times

That's a great video but I DON'T LOOK LIKE A FUCKING FROG!

I would tell MM that too but he'd just get upset and tell me to put him on ignore.

You absolutely should put me on ignore. I could get away with what the Muppets do. I could be, dare I say, Statler or Waldorf

I like you too much to ever put you on ignore.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Apparently the rest of the forum does as well because none of them will do it. It's a curse being as awesome as I am

 

[maxiep]

A really interesting game. Looking at turnovers, you'd think Denver would have crushed us.

 

[HailBlazers]

Guess turnovers don't matter as much when your making up for it with increased possessions from your pace and good defense.

HERETIC!!!

Scoring over 100 points is a sinful indulgence. Winning while scoring 80 points or less builds character. Only in the blessedness of the slow-down and the ISO play will ye find enlightenment and godly humility.
