    I agree. He's hurting himself and the team.

    Both.

    He destroyed the Blazers by himself tonight on both sides of the ball. They had a chance to win this game if he hadn't played. The Blazers were playing 4 on 5 all night. 33 minutes played by Roy out of the first 42 mintues of the game.

    Ridiculous.

    It will be interesting to see how much of this has to do with rust.

    I really agree, he wasn't playing defense, and then when he was on offense he was playing like he couldn't try..... that's just not good enough.

    Start Bayless. We need an attacker not a half injured Roy and a streaky shooter in Rudy. If Bayless doesn't work then start Batum.

    Stop talking sense and get on the suicide bandwagon.



    IMO it's probably a mixture. Not feeling 100% and not in game shape yet.

    "Sit Roy"...I just got onto the board to say the same thing! I thought no one would agree with me...Playing Roy cost us the game. While he dribbles around slowly, it takes his teammates out of the game. All that psyched-up energy goes to waste. I think we might have won if not for him.

    Well said. Sit down Brandon. There is nothing to be gained with you moving like that. I saw sevral times at the game tonight where he was holding the back of his leg while away from the play.

    Yep. I'd not only sit Roy, but I'd trade him for Deron Williams.

    I missed the first three quarters, so I can't really comment on Brandon's defense. But the Celtics are a frustrating team to guard when they are making their jumpers. They run so many picks. It's not like they run iso's and you see one guy getting beat over and over.

    Nonsense. Roy lost the game. Sit him and trade him.

    It was more like they just ran Rondo attacking the hoop over and over again, and Nate didnt' put Bayless on him until the 3rd quarter, and Bayless did a good job on him. But it was far too late.

    There you go with your smart ass remarks when you are not in agreement with something. Roy was not in game shape, whether he is still hurting or rusty, I don't know, but he hurt the team tonight with his shotty defense (which isn't good to begin with anyway) and was missing jumpers and a step to slow. I will grant you that everyone pretty much played bad defense tonight, but Roy didn't help and he shouldn't have been pushing through this especially becaue it could have further worsened the injury.

    I hate "shotty" defense. I don't want to see it again. Trade Roy in the offseason for Deron Williams.

    Care to bring any actual discussion to the table or not? I'm glad you thought Roy did excellent tonight.

    Roy sucked balls tonight. I want him traded for Deron Williams. Is this bizarro land? Roy is "shotty" in terms of defense, and he doesn't make the team better.
