WOW. Roy's a bitch?

Okay I do post in here often and I really think this needs to be a new thread. Especially since I just read things like “Roy’s a bitch”, “Roy needs to change his game”, or “We will never be a good team unless Roy changes the way he plays his game”. But the main thing wrong was calling Roy a bitch.

Seriously, how dare anyone think our problems are solely on Roy? How dare anyone question Roy’s faith in this ball club, just because he speaks out, probably on an opinion of most on the team? Roy is the proven leader of this ball club. It wasn’t like he was a “Darius Miles” that landed some nice contract on potential. The dude single handedly, changed us from “laughing stock” to a team many enjoy watching.

Okay so maybe there are problems so far, but wouldn’t you want a more vocal leader that sees these problems and he wants it to change? Maybe Blake isn’t the right man for the job starting at PG, but look at a team like Memphis, bringing in AI. Clearly AI is a much better player than most playing with him, yet he was released mainly because he was a distraction. Would we still have this distraction if Miller never came to town? I think not. Last season, it’s obvious this was Roy’s team and I suspect nothing changed now. I suspect and even would bet half my income, if you ask Oden, Aldridge, Blake, Webster, Outlaw, Batum, Pryzbilla and even Bayless if Roy has the “team’s best interest in mind” they would definitely agree.

Roy has earned my respect, and he’s not even my favorite player. But without Roy, we may still be the laughing stock of the NBA. I thank God for giving us a Glorious GM in KP, one of the best owners in the NBA (Paul Allen), and for the most part, the best damn fans in the NBA. I may question Nate all the time and other players, but I will never question Roy’s loyalty of the Blazers. I would be more worried of players like Aldridge or Oden bolting if our team is unsuccessful than Roy.

So what if he wants to be at the same level as LJ, Wade and Kobe. I think great players want to be the best. So give his ass a chance to prove he may be just as good or pretty damn close to it. Okay I’m done. Sorry for my rant.

MAGS

 

maggs... please... ok. cant defend roy when he is wrong. hes wrong. end of story.

remember this gem of aquote from golden boy roy this summer?

" i cant help recruit free agents cause i dont know if im gonna be here."

Really roy? really? So please dont defend roy. he has been a complete non humble bitch since july. he has never and i mean never given miller a chance. roy has changed.

 

Mags, you go from one to the pendulum to the other in your posts. Your opinion changes daily on certain things. I don't know If I have read a concrete take from you on anything specific.

Having said that, Roy as I said in a previous post, is not perfect. With as great as he is, even he get's it wrong time to time. One of the problems right now is that his ego is not check and it's not being managed. I feel Roy is wrong right now and has been from day one of training camp. One of the very few times I felt this way about him. But I do now and i do feel he needs to be called out by SOMEONE. Coach isn't going to do it. Kp isn't going to do it. So who should? The fans have a right voice their opinion on Brandon Roy and his behavior. Especially when he is wrong.

 

seems like whenever roy doesnt get roys way... roy cries to the media or "coach"

i own a roy jeresey but right is right and wrong is wrong.

 

Roy is a bitch, lol, i dont want to be that drastic, but it really seems like Roy forgot what happened in the Houston series. There is a strong need for another playmaker, and so far Miller has been pretty good at working with Oden and LMA

But like many have said, If Roy really doesnt want to play with miller, its time to cut your losses

 

Nope sorry, 100% disagree with you and I am calling you out for acting "grade school" with this rant. Too many people are forgetting what Roy has done for this ball club. The amount of "game winning shots" he took in the 4th quarter. The label that other teams gave Roy as "Mr. 4th quarter". The 1 player that was consistent during the Houston vs. Blazers series.

I would rather have Roy be our leader than a "self righteous" Melo. If Denver offered Melo, straight up for Roy, I would hope our GM would hang up the phone.

 

So was Kobe a bitch when he bitched about there not being enough talent on the Lakers? Yep. But what happened? They went and got Gasol and won it all. So he may have been being a bitch. But he was right.

 

My pendulum doesn't swing. I do think Roy needs to step up and he has to answer for his lack of going inside. What I do not agree with is someone calling him a bitch. That's like grabbing a million dollars for someone because they want to take you out of the slums, you make a ton of money and get rich, then he goes broke and you turn your back on him.

Fuck that! Roy isn't perfect by a long shot, but I will never question his loyalty on this team.

 

Roy isn't even acting close to how "ass-nine" Kobe was. Kobe was telling Chicago fans he's going to be there. I have never once seen Roy say he wants to go anywhere, but win a title in Portland and be the Finals MVP.

 

Oden should be a playmaker. And the sooner you develop him, which should be the #1 priority.

 

ding ding ding!! roy has earned the right to criticize the coach and gm imo.

 

You got your 85$ mil, so why dont you just relax and make some sacrifices.

This team, without andre miller, does not get past the first round. Period.

 

You need more than Oden. He will NEVER be the dominant offensive player. And im ok than that

 

I totally disagree with that. A team without a low post threat, like they lacked last season doesn't get past the first round. I can name hundreds of play-off teams that made it past the first round without a good PG.

 

I think that's BS. I think Oden can and will surprise people this season, when Nate finally realizes to incorporate him more on the offensive end.

 

Kobe's ego is kept in check by Phil. Always has been.

 

I think this also comes back to KP. RLEC was a wasted opportunity for maybe something real good expecially with a player like RUDY (who will never start on this team while nate is here)

therefore they went real hard after Hedo, got slapped in the face, and then they started reaching for something.... Miller

I liked Miller before we got him, i like him now, but according to most of the team he doesnt fit, and all this could have been resolved at the Trade deadline. Its time for KP to get some of the blame

 

I think his incompetence in dealing, recruiting and in leadership should be questioned.

 

Roy has acted like a little bitch since this summer to be honest, but I think he is trying to live up to the money he got. I'm just not sure he has been going about it the right way

 

Your missing the point. The point is Kobe was right. The point being here, Roy is right. Roy is one of the only guys on the team whose production matters on a nightly basis at this time. Roy being happy, and being in a position to produce at the most efficient level he can produce it is paramount to the team. Not Andre Miller. Not Steve Blake. Not Martell Webster. Those guys are not going to carry your team night to night.

Brandon Roy. He can carry your team night to night.

Before Roy was here, most of the players I listed above were here. They won like 17 games without Roy and Aldridge here.

So that being said, you folks can bitch about Brandon Roy all you want. Then when he leaves, and the team is again winning 17 games a year again, you can think back to the golden days, when Brandon Roy was here.
