Sacellum of Rudy Gay

[JeffDuncan]

I couldn't find a church thread for Rudy. Gotta pray for his health.

Get well and stay well, Rudy!

[JeffDuncan]

Sunday. Let us pray.

[JeffDuncan]

Let us give thanks. Go Rudy Go!

[Mr. Body]

The way the game is played now, you need a good SF. Thank God we have Rudy.

[Spurs da champs]

Which playoff team can use Gay and be willing to part with a first pick?
Houston needs a wing, not sure how likely the Spurs & Rockets would be willing to deal with each other tho.

[DAF86]

I imagine clingy Demar is emoting to him 10 times a day about being traded.

7. A moment for Rudy Gay (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3005/rudy-gay)In 2013, Gay morphed from solid NBA player into both punchline and cautionary tale. The best way to improve your team: trade Rudy Gay! Every young, athletic wing who could score but not much else -- pass, defend, shoot 3s -- became the next Rudy Gay, the guy who looked like he should be good but didn't help your team win: Andrew Wiggins (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3059319/andrew-wiggins), Jeff Green (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3209/jeff-green), and a few others. Then Gay tore his Achilles. That would probably be it.


Nope. Gay has been a sensational third wheel in San Antonio. He's shooting 48 percent from deep, and remains a slithery one-on-one mismatch: too big for wings, too crafty for traditional power forwards.
The Spurs have scored 1.32 points per possession on any trip featuring a Gay post-up, the 11th-highest figure among 117 guys who have recorded at least 15 such plays, per Second Spectrum.


He knows how to space the floor for DeMar DeRozan (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3978/demar-derozan)-LaMarcus Aldridge (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2983/lamarcus-aldridge) pick-and-rolls, and dart into a void for floaters and backdoor dunks when the defense isn't looking. When the Spurs want to mix things up, the Gay-Aldridge pick-and-roll has been among the most effective pairings in the league, per Second Spectrum. He can still cram on fools. Josh Jackson (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4066297/josh-jackson) tried to cram on him along the baseline Tuesday; Gay leapt with Jackson, and simply took the ball out of his hands in midair. It was astonishing.


Gay has been a stout, switchable defender, rebounding at a career-best rate. He is not the reason San Antonio ranks a preposterous 25th in points allowed per possession. He can't lift them higher on his own -- how many tweener forwards could? -- but Gay is doing his job. The Spurs are somehow plus-22 in the 77 minutes Gay has logged without their two stars, per NBA.com.
Gay has revived his career -- a really happy story, just in time for free agency this summer.

Rudy has been great this season. He was good last season too, but this year he's really turned it up and he plays hard. My favorite player on the team right now

[DAF86]

He seems to shoot 8/10 from the field every other game. He has been crazy efficient this season.

[Phenomanul]

I hope the Spurs can retain him... I know players hate the feeling that any year of their career has been wasted on retooling (given the team's injuries), but Rudy Gay seems to be a great fit for the Spurs going forward (as a backup 3/4). Hopefully he can look past all of that.

[james evans]

I personally think Gay is our best player but unfortunately he is aging and I don’t trust his body for a full season.

[JeffDuncan]

Rudy is now listed as questionable for the Celtics game because of a wrist injury. Game time decision.

Get well Rudy!

[kaji157]

I think the Fo is being very careful with Rudy, not asking too much of him if the game does not ask to and trying to limit his effort.
Seems like the goal is for him to be able to play at full strength come playoff time.
As the team is clearly pointing there.
