Yeah. Sadly, I already thought of you when I checked my calendar to and saw that game on the schedule.
I won't boo Roy. He didn't ask for the injuries to happen to him, and nobody here on this board would turn down a fat contract if offered to them in the same situation. As long as he plays hard and tries his best I will root for him here.
I boo Roy mentally when he says selfish shit to the press. I would never boo any player on the court just because his body can't do what his mind still thinks it can. At least he isn't mailing it in. That would be different.
Why are we still trying to cater to Roy? He is NOT the cornerstone of our franchise anymore. We paid 88 million for a VERY good sixth man. Hopefully Roy will realize just how much more effective he could be going against the bench versus the starters. If we lose against Dallas I'm hoping McMillan will make a shift and move roy to the bench and return Batum to the SF and put Matthews as the SG. That is what needs to be done. Does McMillan have the balls to bench our old cornerstone of the franchise? Who knows, but its pretty obvious this would help the team in the long run. If Roy balks at coming off the bench then I'm done with Roy. Matthews is by FAR the better SG right now. And Batum is a better SF than Roy. End of story.
Canzano is such a dumbass. First, some old coot calls in and says Roy should take less money. Great idea, except it is against the current CBA, so bashing Roy at this point for that is stupid. Canzano just let's it go. Next, some fool calls in and says that Roy was "shut down" during the Houston playoff series, and that's why the team lost. Um, Roy had a PER of 26 for that series, but yet again, Canzano just laughs and agrees. Does anyone have a phone number for this shit show? I've checked out their website, but apparently they decided that hiding the live phone line to their shows is a good idea.
Roy is the only perimeter player that consistently gets a double-team. The rest of your post kind of is irrelevant, unless you can find a better offensive player to eat up a double-team. If you think the offense sucks now, wait until only LMA can get a double once in a while.
That's a good point. Eventually, though, once the scouting catches up to the new Roy teams will stop doubling him. Currently teams are treating Roy as the Roy from the past. We sort of saw the new scouting against Roy when we played Memphis. Get in his grill and crowd him. He doesn't have any lift or speed to scare most elite defenders.
Actually all it took last night was Grievis Vasquez shutting Roy down in single coverage for me to realize that we've already reached that point.
Nope and I do not listen to the show for this reason. He baits anyone with a clue in his columns and follows the same formula (from what I can tell) on the radio. It is all about stirring the pot with him.
Why was my post edited? I didn't say anything bad or attack anyone... Anyways, Matthews would start to get the double teams if he continues to play as he has been. Granted, Matthews doesn't have the best of handles, but its still better than a one legged Roy. Also, Roy coming off the bench would give us *SHOCK* scoring off the bench! Who would have thought?!
Haha, that happens. I've done the same thing on another forum where I'm a moderator. I know the feeling.
