Chutzpah, pt. 2

Ladies and Germs, Ruben Patterson:

"I don't think my role of playing 13 or 15 minutes a game is acceptable," Patterson told the newspaper this week. "I deserve to play 25-plus minutes, but if they want me to play 12 minutes [like he did in his last game against New York], then they can just put me on the inactive list. I mean, those are rookie minutes."

So, I'll ask, who is the Eric of Patterson's posse who's job it is to keep him from doing stupid, career-wrecking shit? Though this being the Blazers, I'm sure he listens more to his own Turtle. Fellas, this is your meal ticket, step up your game.
