What's wrong with Roy?

You seem to have a lot invested in Roy playing poorly. Have fun...

 

Nope. It's just something that I started noticing in the pre-season, and it bothers me, as it should bother all Blazer fans.

 

Still don't get it now?

 

20/4/3/2

 

So what are the rules to your game? Was I supposed to come on here after the Raptors game and say, "See SHOOTER, I told you he was going to flip the switch!" Are you going to do this after every poor outing? If that's the way it is, I'll bump this thread after he has a 24/6/3 game vs the PISTONS. Grow up!

 

With a career low 17.2 PER, he's barely above average right now.

 

To the point that we only play well against only shitty teams, the Piston's are 2-5.

 

Would you be disappointed if we beat them?

 

Absolutely not.


But beating them won't help the fact that something is wrong with Roy (I have told you what, but you didn't believe me) Nor will it change the fact that I don't feel Nate is the right coach to lead this team to the finals. So while I will stay up until the wee hours of the night and watch the game, it won't matter in the long run if we win or lose.

 

So I'll throw this out there in response to your paragraph. Is any coach the right team to lead this team to the finals? Have you ever considered that there isn't a coach on this planet that could lead this team to the finals.?

If a coach gets everything out of a team that they can, IMO they are successful. Is Nate getting everything out of this team that he can?

 

No, I don't think anyone could lead this particular team to the finals. I do thin kthere are coaches out there that could get more out of the team in the playoffs. More out of the team on a game to game basis so they wouldn't play to their competition as much. I think Nate has had the team playing hard for the most part, but I think other coaches could do that as well, AND have a better offensive and defensive scheme

 

Like the sideline reporter Terry Porter, who you suggested for years?

 

Maybe? Porter, Monty, some assistant somewhere, Laimbeer, Adelman, SVG, JVG? All I know is that I don't think it's Nate. Porter did well with an undermanned Milwaukee team, and had Phoenix with a winning record. But the players in Phoenix turned on him, so maybe he's not the guy?

 

Players in Phoenix turned on him because he wanted to slow down the pace of the game. Totally going against what the personnel on that team was built for.

 

How about Lawrence Frank? I could get behind that hire. I really wanted Thibedou.

 

I wanted Thibedou also. I'd have to do some research on Frank to see how his teams played.

 

Jeff Van Gundy.

 

I do not think there was ever a JVG team that was in the top-half of pace, all of them but one was in the bottom 20, most of them in the bottom 25 - he does not strike me as that different a coach than Nate, to be honest.

This isn't about Roy having a bad game. Ths is about Roy seeming disinterested on the court, saying some strange stuff after the game and the team he is playing against basically saying Roy isn't right.

Anyone trying to write this off to one game I don't think is looking at the complete picture. There are valid concerns regarding Roy. Not saying Roy is done, only taht something either mental or physical is going on with Roy . . . the fans know it, Roy knows it and I guess other teams now know it.
