Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Good for the Blazers. They set a good example by showing the rest that these kinds of outbursts will not be tolerated. If anything, this SHOULD give Outlaw and Khryapa a chance to come out and prove to Nate that they belong. This is how opportunities happen, it's up to the new(er) guys to make things work.

I remember the last game of last year, when we hung on to beat L.A. Ruben ripped his Jersey off and celebrated like we'd won the championship. I think he's certaintly passionate about more than minutes. I've actually always liked Ruben because he tries hard every night. But passion or not, his attitude is pathetic and he should be traded as soon as possible.
Someone in this thread asked "Why on earth would Ruben Patterson want to sit on the bench while a bunch of young guys lose games?" Maybe because he's getting paid rather well to do that. It's his job. He doesn't have to like it, but a reasonable level-headed individual would realize that there are better ways to deal with the situation.
Personally, I find it border-line amusing that Patterson wants MORE playing time considering the way he's been playing lately. Against New York there was a stretch where he missed no less than FOUR STRAIGHT LAY-INS in a matter of a few minutes. I just sat there in stunned silence at his incompetance. And now I hear this... Yeah, he needs to go.

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Regarding the Portland vs NY comparison. Both teams are bad, determining which is better or worse is irrelevant. Bad teams usually lose on the road. Therefore I expected the Knicks to win (and hoped I was wrong) just as I expected Portland to win when we played them previously. I would hardly blame Ruben for this loss.

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Man, I hope we get a trade goin'. Not necessarily because of this whole incident, I just want to see some new faces and fill some holes.

Patterson is in Memphis tonight and is hooking up with Damon Stoudamire before he returns to Portland tomorrow. He'll spend Thanksgiving in Ohio to "get his mind right."

Ah, a brain transplant! Just what the doctor ordered. 
Wait, he's "hooking up" with Damon to "get his mind right?"

If you hooked up with Damon, could you ever really get your mind right afterwards?

I've seen "passionate veterans" on teams that were going through rebuilding. Like Terry Porter in Minnesota. Did Terry curse his coach during a game? What about Shareef Abdur-Rahim? He's been on expansion or rebuilding teams his whole career. Some say he is a loser who brings losing, but I've never heard him curse a coach during the game. Chris Mullin? How many years did he suffer as Golden State stunk? Mitch Richmond was a professional year after year on a lousy Kings team. Ray Allen keeps playing when his team loses. I could go on and on. Passionate veterans do not undermne their teams, even when, or especially when the team is struggling.

Well said. As much as I wanted to give Ruben a second chance, and as much as I admire his hustle on the court, he seems cut from the same cloth as Wallace and Wells. Disrespectful, angry, belligerant, etc. Let's hope Nash trades him out of town. I no longer have any interest in retaining his services.
