Rudy Gay's about to show the world he's on Durant's level

the only winning team rudy gay will be a part of is the one where he plays the Chris Bosh role that Bosh plays on the Miami Heat. I am in no way saying he is as good as Bosh either. I am talking about being a distant 3rd fiddle.

If Z-Bo was playing the way he did last playoffs, possibly Memphis takes this. At the same time if Chris Paul was completly healthy i dont think Memphis has a chance.

 

Rudy Gay = Durant? Good one, fantasy football maven.

 

So...um...who's on the block now in Memphis?

 

Is Rudy Gay worth the max? Probably not. He's still a great player. Just not on the Lebron James/Kevin Durant level where he can overcome 3 other dudes shooting them out of the game.

 

Durant isn't on lebrons level. Durant played terrible the 1st couple of games vs dallas and they still won.

 

they're*

Yes, they played well.

 

Impressive win. Exciting year for you guys.

 

Bosh isn't a distant 3rd fiddle, he's actually the 2nd best player on that team. In fact, Bosh has blossomed over the past two years as the 2nd best big man in the L after Howard IMHO, his two way game has progressed so much it's comparable to Lebron's leap in year 3.

 

You dont watch much basketball do you?
or you just watch nothing but miami

 

It's November.

 

Dumbass.

 

Inferiority complex.

Memphis: R. Gay 28 Pts, 6 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 TO
Oklahoma City: K. Durant 34 Pts, 10 Reb, 5 Ast, 3 Stl, 2 Blk, 5 TO

 

Rudy made some HUGE buzzer beats tonight. Great game from him. Too bad he can't do this every night. He came into the game shooting 39%. Memphis needs him to play at least 90% like this to be a championship contender.

If those Rudy's shots didn't fall, OKC wouldn't have turned that game in their favor. But he made AT LEAST 3 momentum-killer shots tonight.

 

Gay is playing worse than he did the last two seasons, which were pretty mediocre.

Mehhhh.

He is suited only to being a 6th man off the bench for a certain kind of team. He is too much of a ball hog to start beside championship caliber players. He's the kind of guy you should play for 25 minutes a game and allow to be a sparkplug. Same kind of player as Monta Ellis in that sense. The fact that guys like this are getting 36+ minutes and tons of shots per game says more about the (lack of) quality of their teams than it does about their individual talent levels.

 

It's early in the season. Knicks are undefeated. Miami is one of the worst defensive teams. Lakers suck balls.

A lot of these won't hold up. Contenders are made after the all-star break going into April. Not 5-6 games in November.

Grizz are off to a great start, and they have the pieces. But you guys have to maintain this offensive pace?
