Tag: Rudy Gay

Rudy Gay is using this Bonus Bubble Basketball session to demonstrate to the world (and, honestly, the whole universe [assuming they can decode our television signals (“they” being alien life forms)]) that he’s not just a role-player at this stage in his career. He’s a HIGH-END ROLE-PLAYER. That’s the official designation you get when you’re…

I can just hear the imagined utterances of the haters now: “DownToBuck didn’t make a Rudy Gay nineteen point highlight video because DownToBuck hates the Spurs.” “Rudy Gay scoring nineteen points is eminently worthy of a highlight video and anybody who thinks otherwise is being an ignoramus.” “My life revolves around consuming media featuring the…

I would officially like to apologize for not making a vid when Rudy Gay scored 22 points back in November. I know I’ve apologized for this before, but those apologies weren’t official. This one is. It’s an OFFICIAL DTB APOLOGY. It’s no excuse, but I ran out of time that day and couldn’t get to…

Had the Spurs won (spoiler alert: they didn’t), Rudy Gay would’ve been the hero of this game. He did a bunch of things, not just this game, but in the whole series, that would’ve elevated him to temporary Duncan status in the hearts of Spurs fans. Heroic deed one: he scored 9 straight points to…

It’s time for a confession: while watching this game live, if Rudy Gay was in the game, I was spending that entire time quoting parts from that YouTube video where the Toronto fan is freaking out about Gay hitting a game winner. I was doing it all, and in the same Toronto accent. Yelling “No,…

I need to watch more Spurs games. They haven’t forgotten the art of the midrange jumpers. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’m pretty sure I looked it up and remember seeing that LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are in the top five of midrange shooting. Add in Rudy Gay, who…

Rudy “Better than Fernandez but Worse than Gobert” Gay continues to be, against all odds, a solid scoring option for the Spurs. After getting ragged on by analytics-minded fans (including myself) for the entirety of his decade-plus in the NBA, he’s finally putting up efficienct scoring numbers at the grand old age of 32. And…

I’m freaking out right now, because I literally can’t remember a single thing about Rudy Gay’s multi-year tenure in Sacramento. He was there for 3.5 seasons, basically averaged 20 points during that time, and I can’t even bring to mind an image of him wearing the jersey, much less doing anything while wearing it. Did…

I’m struggling to understand how Rudy “Not This Guy” Gay, at age 32 (an age where he should be declining), is posting the most efficient season of his career by far. And when I say “by far”, I should actually say “BY FAR” in all caps because he has completely discarded the low-efficiency volume-scoring days…

I would like to remind everyone that this is the same Rudy Gay (not some sort of impostor) who, while in the midst of a big shooting slump, BANNED boxscores from the Raptors locker room. I don’t know how he enforced the ban, like if he had rookies acting as contraband agents, but the ban…
