    Brandon Roy has shot 42 free throws through 3 games already. This has to be a good thing for the future of our team. Plus, he's made 39 of them.

    Just looking for some positive signs that we'll be okay.

    This is actually a positive in a big way. Looks like Roy's infamous "They can't touch me anymore...I'm like LeBron and Wade if a defender touches me I'm going to the line." statement has finally been forgiven. I haven't seen FTA's that high since his 52 point game and the week or two before that. After his statement his attempts withered away like a Steve Blake crunchtime Free Throw.

    Speaking of Steve Blake, I think I'd like to see Bayless get some time to see what he can do alongside Roy. Blake has been dreadful thus far.

    Me too. I'd like to Jerryd get some burn. He can't be any worse than "Blakey" at this moment.

    I also like that Brandon is getting to the line, but at the same time, I wonder if the team is a little better when he doesn't score as much? Sorta like what K*be had to learn.......TRUST YOUR TEAMMATES

    Brandon is trusting his teammates. It's just that in the 4th quarter when Outlaw is 1/7 and Rudy hasn't hit a shot since the second, who else is going to make a shot? Most of Roy's points come in the 4th quarter because he IS deferring to his teammates. By the time he gets it going, it's already too late.
