Not sure if this has been posted, but it is a must-watch. Make sure you go to youtube and watch in high-quality. [video=youtube;dNy2ugleqes]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNy2ugleqes[/video]
This is turning into a legendary season for Roy. Put this game together with the 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat Houston, plus all of his other clutch shots this year, and the 5-game tear he's on, and you've got a season for the ages. We're going to look back on the 2008-09 season as the one in which Brandon Roy became a superstar.
Anyone else think that another awesome part of the night was when Nash missed that layup? I almost died laughing...I mean, the Suns were only down 3 and still certainly had a chance...former MVP indeed...
Obviously Roy was the main reason for the win last night but you gotta give props to Blake. He kept you guys in it during the middle of the game when PHX had expanded the lead.
That is awesome. The high quality version has given me goosebumps all three times I've watched it. Now for number four...
That was a great, great video. The production value was remarkable for an amateur (in terms of not being professional, not as a pejorative) effort. My only quibble with it was not including Portland's possession, ahead by three. The offensive rebounds, by Oden and Outlaw, were big and that was a dramatic part of the ending. But really...overall, quite awesome. The use of the crowd really added an "epic" feel to it.
Incidentally, for those who want to save it (and any other YouTube vids): http://www.keepvid.com/ I'm definitely saving this.
Just exactly how suiting was it that Brandon was there to grab that rebound as time expired? As we continuing learning more and more about Brandon Roy, with seemingly each passing (and SCORING!!!) game, I can't help but be reminded of a couple of paraphrased quotes from Terminator 2 (edits in italics): -- "Brandon Roy's CPU is a neural net processor, a learning computer. The more contact he has with basketball-playing humans, the more he learns!" -- "Brandon Roy's a cybernetic organism: living tissue over a metal endoskeleton."
