after reading this i doubt he plays http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2010/01/roy_still_feels_hamstring_pain.html
I don't think Roy would have done much to stop Howard, in any case. I'll be shocked if we win tonight.
I would be shocked if we lost. Orlando is like 1-5 in their last 6. The win coming in Sacramento and barely pulling it out.
I said it at the beginning of the year, and I'll say it now. A long-term injury to Roy (in an injury vacuum) would've probably been the easiest for the team to deal with. We have a bunch of average to above-average guards that can score within our system. Rudy can play the 2, Bayless can, Blake can---with Miller at the 1 and Webster/Batum at the 3 you'd have been pretty ok. Now with the situation we're in? I'd love to see Miller/Rudy/Webster/LMA/Pendergraph run all night. Bring in Bayless and Cunningham and don't slow down. Put Juwan on the secondary break with that free-throw-line jumper, and there's gold in them thar hills. Even Blakey was getting into the passing spirit last night---great to see.
