Roy to miss road trip

On courside miller and cho... Both said Roy will be out on current road trip. Likely to return on dec 30th vs Utah. Good or bad thing?

 

Well I guess this gives more playing time for Rudy, Babbitt, and Cunningham on the court. Then maybe this will make a better deal breaker to use that Dec 30th deadline for the player injury $$ that we have be allotted.

 

Continuity is a good thing, especially when the opportunity cost is a "pretty average for a starter" Brandon. Of course it doesn't mean we're going to win with our M*A*S*H unit in some really tough places to play, but hopefully it means LMA keeps up his beasting and continues to embrace the role of being the man.

 

Not good.

 

Like "aww shucks, too bad" not good or "we just crossed the streams" not good?

 

Good for the message boards. After the next three games the question can be asked again: Are the Blazers better without BRoy? And the schedule won't be a factor.

 

Denny will be happy counting his advertising dollars.

 

we come home 1-2 on the trip, what does that mean around here?

 

If Roy came back Christmas day after three straight home wins and we lost, and then lost to Utah and Denver, then it would be all about Roy. Now if they lose all three his return will be easier. And if they play well on the road then it may give him a reason to come off the bench. So over all i think it is a good thing.

 

1-2 to me means we need him. And I think 1-2 is the best case scenario we will see.

 

It means we played Utah, Golden State and Denver where this team never wins ...

 

Exactly. I never count on wins in these buildings.

I like keeping some continuity, but with getting some of the bigs healthy. When Roy is ready to play with the same "scrappiness" that the team is currently displaying, only then should he come back.

 

I like the way you think.

 

Smart move by Roy. Portland will probably struggle whether he is there or not, so it makes him look better if they lose without him rather than lose with him after their recent little win streak

 

Haha.....crossed streams

 

Or it could mean that without Roy we need Camby and Pryzbilla at full strength to be effective.

 

Not sure. I do know Milwaukee went in to Staples and butt fucked the Lakers tonight. Just sayin'....

 

I get the feeling Roy isn't going to play until we trade Andre....if that's the case then hopefully we don't trade Andre....

 

I think the organization should say Roy is having season ending meniscus surgery for both knees and call it good this year and the lockout year next. Roy will not bring speed or ball movement and that's how we are winning right now! EVERYONE is getting involved and having fun and scoring. Roy kills that flow when on the court. I don't give a rip if Roy scores 30 with no ball movement, no equal distribution of scoring, and our team loses!
