Exactly. I'm not too worried about all this, but depressed statistical performance may be a bugaboo for Roy's award-centric career path. I'm hopeful that he sees beyond the accolades to two very important things: 1 - Being the team's Leader 2 - Earning his Phat Sacks of Cash I genuinely believe he'll do both, even with slighty depressed stats (there's only so many touches to go around, and Oden owns the first half these days).
I think we're violently agreeing. Even the "bad" Roy game we had tonight would be a non-factor if we cut down our turnovers by 5 or so.
I think a lot of it is Roy is just off. I seen scrimmages before preseason and it looked like Roy couldn't miss, now his shot just isn't dropping. I don't think it's just because of the different lineups. Now is when I wish I was there or at least could see it on tv.
The Blazers were down by 1 point at the half. Clearly, that's when a distributing PG should start dominating the ball and lose by 6 points at the end of the game. Thank goodness the Blazers have Andre Miller to decide when to give up on Brandon Roy.
Neither has Blake. The difference is that Miller is 4 games into his Blazer career whereas Blake has played a bunch. Im willing to "take a chance".
If he's such a "troll" as you say, you're only feeding him by giving him more attention. Spamming the thread with posts calling him a troll isn't helping.
Greg Oden 3 blocks, 1 foul. I bring that up because last year he had more blocks than fouls in a total of one game, all year.
Perhaps, but I'm seriously concerned. I was told that Miller took over because Roy can't find his game in the preseason. Why pay Roy to be a franchise player if the PG is just going to dominate the ball if Roy has a slow start?
That was an incredible stat, and he should have received the ball much more than he did tonight. Instead, we get 1 on 1 from the PG position.
