What has happened to Rudy?

[Денг Гордон]

I was told that Rudy Fernandez was better than Derrick Rose, so Rudy must be straight up balling right now, leading the Blzers in the clutch, being a super duper star.

This is unreal. The level of annoyance you're striking is fascinating. I feel like I'm going to be watching you on Celebrity Detox or whatever that show is called.

I'd like to see Rudy put some weight/muscle on in the off season so can withstand the grueling NBA schedule better in years to come. Anyone disagree?

I don't necessarily think its on Rudy all that much. I think we aren't utilizing him (well more than think, I know we aren't) as well as we were in the season. We are just making him play off Sergio and turning him into a shooter.

I think Roy could def. learn to play w/ him better. And I think he should be the playmaker on the 2nd unit much more than he is instead of Sergio being on-ball as much.

Rudy's IQ is why I don't worry about him, and he still finds ways to contribute. Also, when he does score, its different than a lot of our players scoring. 10 points for Rudy is different than 10 points for Frye because of the energy it brings in the stadium.

Those are my thoughts.

Its amazing we are 9-6 with aldridge, outalw, frye, rudy, and oden playing so poorly.

It could be that your just like every other hysterical, myopic, can't-see-the-forest-through-the-trees Blazer fan who wants the 82-0 seasons, the 10 championships in 10 years, the multiple Hall Of Famers and Celtic-Style dynasty right now and whines and cries when told to be patient, the team will get there.

I'm don't share mixum's outlook on the Blazers. But if there is crying and whinning going on when the Blazers ask fans to be patient . . . it's because Blazers have been asking Blazer fans to stay patient for 6 frigging years.

I think its the scheduling of the season and Rudy's body hasn't gone through an active schedule like this. The guys only had Nov 16-17 off before they took on @GS, CHI, a day off, then @SAC, @PHO, a day off then this 3 game homestand. Hes starting to feel fatigue and it will only take time for him to adjust.

Bottom line: all summer some people have been claiming that "Rudy isn't really a rookie!" Guess what - he is.

Like Batum and Sergio, Rudy has settled for the 3 far too often. He needs to take more mid range jumpers and put the ball on the floor and get to the basket.

 

[bodyman5001]

I heard he got the AIDS

 

[Nate Dogg]

Bodyman do we really need to make these "low" comments about AIDS. Not necessary (even if u are joking).
If you want to be crude then talk about Magic Johnson.

Come on, you know how easy AIDS jokes are, even a cavema....oh....

DrinkYourMilkshake. LOL. That was a good one.

I talked to Brian Wheeler in the Taproom tonight and he had Sergio translate for Rudy on Rudy's latest news. It seems that Rudy's mother is planning on moving here and that Rudy is going to have his GF arrive (visit) around Christmas time.
