    He also thought his hammy injury was severe, then went out, played on it, and never looked back. Maybe he's just a touch sensitive.

    All of the doctors have said there is no heightened risk of future injury. It is unseeingly quick to me as well but if multiple medical professionals say there isn't any risk than I guess I'll trust them.

    The crowd was NUTS last night! Probably the loudest I've ever heard it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I love how Aldridge has been set up...if he fails, it's on him. If he succeeds, he owes Roy for his success. ;) No wonder he's seen as a huge disappointment.

    Absolutely. Because Roy has blown through his perceived ceiling, LMA gets looked at as an underachiever for being "who they thought he was" which was still good enough to be a Top 5 pick. LMA is a fantastic, skilled, smooth player. He fits perfectly in a system built for him to succeed. That is not a fucking crime!

    I would like to amend your statement with "by some". LMA has been as good as Sheed at age, if not better.

    B-Roy is a legend already imo.. just a warrior who wants to win and cares about this team. I love it.

    During the Bulls/Cavs game, Hubie Brown was just praising Roy's efforts last night. He seemed to think that the critics of the move are idiots.

    To me it seems LA can get hot, and was bound to have another nice game after a couple of cold nights. A regression to his mean.
