    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Roy could have been as good as LeBron James and Chris Paul had he cared more and worked harder.

    You're wrong. I've been concerned about Roy's play all season, long before I heard about the tunnel business.

    I agree. Success has gone to Roy's head. He's been treated like a god, and now he thinks he is one.

    Do you really think Brandon is playing as hard as he can right now?

    Funny to watch "Hard-while-Talking" get an anti-boner for Roy now that he "don't respect dem ders 'Merican Flag and Jingle-Jangle"

    I do. Absolutely. Are you accusing Roy of giving less than his best effort. In other words, are you accusing Roy of tanking?

    No, I'm accusing him of "coasting."

    IMHO, yes. I think that LMA has been *coasting the entire season. I think Roy is starting to, as well. I think the team is starting to get upset with Nate and are taking it out on the court. I really do. And I am not mad at them for doing it.

    You really think Brandon is going to let the 24 second clock run out a couple times a game and just shrug his shoulders to the bench after like "oops, I wasn't paying attention"?

    If I was mad at my boss, I would not perform as well as I could, and I think that is happening here.

    I don't think it is sluggishness. It is 'coasting' because he is mad at Nate.

    Alright, well, he's not as good as he thinks, but he's our best player, so essentially, we're fucked, because we chose to build around him. How long's his contract, 5 seasons? Talk to you guys in 5 seasons when we have a chance to pull out of this mess. I hope we build around someone good next time. Bummer. Anyone want to buy my tickets for the rest of the season? No sense in going to any more games, we're doomed, basically.

    Exactly. The moment you turn on your own country, your game goes down the tubes.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You mean, "the moment Shooter finds out about it"? Roy has been doing this for a while, as has been pointed out quite a bit, and he had a pretty fine season last year.

    To think, you've been rooting for a terrorist-socialist all this time. That probably makes you one, too. We won't inform the Real Americans that you should be kicked out of the club. :)

    Uh, yeah. I was being sarcastic. I guess you just missed it.

    Absolutely. Your wit is too subtle for me, Shooter. Sorry for letting you down.

    Shooter, I've heard you cite many times that your favorite player was Bill Walton. He was a true patriot.
