I think Gay does everything Prince does and more. And the spurs can't shut down Zach and Marc with Gay having potential to go off.

People who wanted Gay out like to talk about the team having a lull right before he was traded (right after Mo was traded), but the team has a fire hot start to the season.

That big contract was the death of Rudy. If Heisley had given the guy a $55-60 million extension, he's probably still with the team and probably never has the field goal percentage drop he had after the max deal (and that injury).

The year we beat the Spurs, Rudy averaged 20 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals on 47% shooting and 40% on three pointers. The real what if is in 2011.

You are the only person on the planet that wants Rudy Gay. Funny.

If you're defending Rudy at this point you're just spitting in the face of numbers and results. We were a better team with Prince on the floor than Rudy, even offensively, and the numbers back that up. Defensively we were miles better with Prince. Why is this still an argument? Defending Rudy either shows an a) lack of understanding of basketball or b) unwillingness to spend 10 minutes looking up any evidence.
