Merged: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

A little early to panic, but the death of dreams is certainly well within the bounds of possibility at this point.

It's a tough ride being a Blazers fan. We should all become Lakers fans.

but you can see this coming 2 years ago

 

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

Didn't Brandon some time in the past have a hamstring injury which seemed to hamper him long past the time the trainers thought there was a problem?

I'm basing a lot of my worries on his worries and he may be basing some of his worries on conversations with guys who don't have an identical problem. The fact that he is calling these guys may show that he is a "worrier". Anyway, I'm thinking maybe I have been assuming the worse and the actual outcome could be a lot better. I know somebody in here seemed to imply that Roy may be screwing with everyone but i think that just may be his personality, he worries about a lot of stuff and frets and whines a little but then he gets himself centered again and goes out and does his job. I hope so.

I'm going to become a Pacer fan again...

This totally deserved its own new thread.

Anything Mixum posts deserves its own new thread.

 

Re: The Roy situation

And its own forum, right?

 

My fandom is not contingent upon the Blazers winning a championship. I'll leave that attitude to the Flakers of the world. I want the Blazers to win the championsip, of course, in fact multiple championships, (like nine, LOL) with every fiber of my soul. But I'll still be a Blazers fan and I won't jump off a bridge if they don't.

With Brandon out, there is the real chance I may enjoy the new look Blazers more than the old look Blazers. Aldridge, Batum, Rudy, Miller, Camby, Matthews, and Johnson should be a fun team to watch, if their coach will let them. Add in Oden and Joel at some point, and an attitude-adjusted Roy and I still love this team.

Yeah, that's the idea. Sports to me is an entertainment. You win some, you lose some. You got to enjoy the ride.

I hated the injuries last year, but I enjoyed the season - because that team played with tons of heart. That's all that matters. Now, if the Blazers would stop fucking up the fan situation with the Comcast trip from hell, it would make it better.

 

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

Players on this team that get hurt take a long, long time to recover, if they ever actually do.
When guys do return they are gimped.

At some point the team has to make a change just to make sure the training staff isn't the problem.

Liar, liar pants on fire.

 

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

I think this may be the biggest lie you have ever told.

 

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

Given him credit now... I think he's calculated every possible disaster scenario an infinate number of times already... so yeah... he really has seen them all coming.

 

i want the blazers to do well or i wouldnt be so fucking depressed right now and waste my time here.

 

Don't worry, be happy?

 

Very sobering stuff. I'm hoping for good news from this second opinion, but it's getting harder and harder for me to imagine this team without one major injury or another.

I did love this forehead-slapper from the article, though:

Why don't they explain what the heck a "key" is? I am confused.

 

Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

Read the first part of the post.

 

6-3 and first place in the division doesn't make you happy? Stop and smell the roses.
