He has played for two teams. Both teams knew how to use him. Lob dunks, PNR, PNP, screen assists. We don’t use him for much of any of that these days.


His hands are terrible. Mitchell didn’t want to pass to him and Ant doesn’t want to either. Rudy has had a lot of teammates and he is what he is. He can catch a few lobs but he’s not consistent enough at catching and finishing to make himself more of a threat. Plus, he has no moves at the rim so he’s not much of a roll threat either. He needs it on a silver platter. Everything needs to be just right for him to score. You can’t rely on it.


Go back and listen to Jim Pete talks about how we win most games when Rudy shoots 8 times or more, and lose most when shoots 7 or more. After you do, explain to me how the pattern makes sense with what you just said. Also please note that the pattern is not based on made shots, only attempted shots.


Rudy should’ve shot more against Dallas.

Cmon now.

Explain the pattern. Explain why when Rudy doesn’t shot 8 times or more we lose almost every game, including the last few.

We are 9-4 when Rudy attempts 8 shots or more, we are 8-13 when he shoots less than 8.

I apologize. I need to correct myself. I misremembered Jim Pete. He didn’t say 8 or more, he said 7 or more. When you expand it from 8 shot attempts or more to 7 shot attempts or more, you change the record from 9-4 (8 or more,) to 12-4 (7 shot attempts or more.) We are 17-17 that means that this has us at 5-13 when Rudy isn’t shooting enough. Funny how that works.

I’d like to see our victory total when Rudy shoots zero times. :)

Lowest was 1 and a loss. We are 1-2 when Rudy shoots 2 times or less. You can go to the link and filter by FGA, not hard. But you can add tonight’s win to the list. Rudy shot 3 of 8 and we won. That is now 13-4 when Rudy shoots at least 7 and 10-4 when he shoots 8 or more. You love to use humor to disguise that your takes are obviously wrong. You refuse to give TC credit for the trade he made with NYK, you refuse to give Rudy credit for his impact on the offense. Go back and check the game thread, I called out at least 6 screen assits in the 2nd half alone. You think we win a 2 point game without Rudy setting those screens?

Holy crap. You missed my point entirely. Winlose, I think we’re done here. Thank you.
