Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Very nice move by management. I expected them in put him on the IA list, but sending him home is one step better. I hope they activated Kryapa instead of Smith, which would be a better match for Ruben's minutes.
I have a feeling we will have a good road trip now!

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
It's official. Ruben Patterson has jumped the shark.

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
This is a great move by Nate and Management. Make an example out of Ruben.

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
It was just a matter of time. This team has no chance of succeeding this year, and passionate veterans like Ruben are bound to become upset. Fortunately in this respect, Portland has few veterans so there aren't that many people to send back home.

Not just the minutes aspect, but the fact that he can help fill in the PF position.

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Portland clearly needed to draw a line in the sand to tell the players that it's a new era. Lucky for us they were able to make an example of a guy who really is pretty replaceable on our squad. If we do nothing but bench him for the rest of the year, it'll only cost us a few games at most.
Had it been Randolph, Miles or Telfair who had acted out, though, management would have a much bigger dilemna. We stand a chance of still winning 30 games without Ruben, but we stand no chance without any of those three.

Then, you could always be KG. Now THERE's a "passionate veteran" that probably would deserve to be upset from time to time throughout his career.

Geesh Ed you make it sound as though the team is intentionally trying to mail it in, by sending home "a passionate veteran".

Re: Patterson sent back to Portland
Could Patterson be any more stupid? Just like Miles no other team will give him these kind of minutes to become a better player. What does he think, he'll start for the Heat, Lakers,Pistons or Spurs? That's laughable. This is the most playing time that Patterson will ever get in the NBA and he pissing it away.
Patterson, Zach and Miles, could this team have a lower I.Q.?
Intresting they are the ones always in trade talk.
The sooner they're gone the faster the Blazers can run a real offense!

This phrase. You keep using this phrase.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
