Rudy Fernandez Gets the Cold Shoulder from Dunk Judges

Our man Rudy Fernandez totally got the shaft by those Phoenix Suns alum where I have a conspiracy theory that their owner Sarver told them to "readjust" his scores. Remember, Sarver is the guy that made a HUGE mistake (one of many as you see their team self-destructing as I type this) of selling Rudy to the Blazers for a mere $3 million...

There are also conspiracies of the contest being rigged for a "Krypto"Nate Robinson and a "Superman" Dwight Howard final like in the movie... but only this time, the Kryptonite... I mean KryptoNate would come up on top.

Seriously, Dwight Howard's first two dunks should NOT have gotten him 50's and Nate Robinson's dunk off Wilson Chandler's back was unspectacular that should have gotten him 6's or 7's...

Say whatever conspiracy you want, but let me say this... Tom Chambers, Dan Ma-jer-le (still don't know why it's pronounced "Marley"), Kevin Johnson, Cedric Ceballos (and your see-through blindfold, and Larry Nance... You guys can kiss my ass for that piss-poor shitty judging of yours!!

Bill Simmons on Mike D'Antoni and Don't Forget to Vote 4 Rudy!!

For the 1st time in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, the NBA fans will get to vote the for the final entrant into the contest and Portland's Rudy Fernandez is one of three players on the ballot. Watch the clip below and then vote for Rudy!!

Bill Simmons has a great article up on Mike D'Antoni's "Seven seconds or less" offense relating to that of past PG Steve Nash and current PG Chris Duhon with the Knicks. A very good read making me once again wonder what the Blazers would have been like with this genius using Sergio and Rudy who are built for his system rather than McMuffin's slow and (at times) sloppy pace... Just look at all the Knicks from last season and you couldn't find a reliable fantasy basketball player other than Zach Randolph... Now D'Antoni has people like David Lee, Chris Duhon, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler, and even Quentin Richardson putting WAY above average numbers than they are accustomed to and they are no longer a joke and fun to watch.
