First let me get this out of the way. I never meant to upset anyone on the Lucas comments I made a week ago tonight. It was more to point out how lousy they played but yes I guess it was bad taste on my part. Again it wasn't my intention to upset anyone. Damn it Im pissed... i just lost out on a weekly $100 pool we do in fantasy football for the high scorer. All i needed was 100 yards out of medenhall and he finished at 99! Even 1 more catch from Owens would have done it. VERY ANNOYED!!! Anyhow just some thoughts on the Blazers. As much as Im concerned with roy and the bench (as i posted last monday) I have to cut them some slack here. I cannot believe nobody is factoring in their brutal schedule. I mean think about the road trips and amount of games in less then 2 weeks. Its almost cruel. Now they should have obviously won the OKC game but other then that (record wise) you really cant be too upset. However a loss to Detroit nulls my comment there. Thats a must win IMO with the upcoming week and schedule. Gotta be 6-3 on wed morning. I have said since opening night Roy looks old and slow. I think his knee is shot and will need micro fracture at some point. Im not saying even this year but he will down the road. As for now, I think its a bit of everything for him. He hates Miller as PG, his knee isn't even 90% and he's pacing himself for (hopefully) post season play. His comments and play are almost depressing if im being honest. I turned the laker off in 3rd qtr. That was worse then the bulls effort. Last i will say again.... the bench is dreadful. Matthews cant shoot the 3, johnson seems lost, and Rudy is so hit or miss that its a coin toss. The depth is gone here. As I said in the off season... we need a crawford type off the bench. A big time scorer. We simply don't have a major offensive weapon off the bench. This is why I wonder how we will beat teams like GS and others who just score, score, score! Very concerning issue. In closing, I think if Roy or LA go down... my non playoff season is a guarantee. Im getting the feeling that we very well could be hornets of last year. Slow start and coach gets fired... and maybe roy goes down. It certainly seems to be setting up that way. For those who aren't concerned.... you will be soon enough.
It's not that he can't, he just currently isn't...world of difference between the two. You know who can't shoot the three? Przybilla...Matthew was nearly 40% from 3 last year, so I think you're being a bit dramatic in your description.
ya know I dont know but i was thinking about past benches and we were pretty deep last year miller/blake roy/rudy/bayless batum/webster la/howard/outlaw oden/pryz and 2 years ago blake/sergio/bayless roy/rudy batum/outlaw la/frye oden/pryz
THIS YEAR..... miller/johnson roy/rudy batum/matthews la/dunate? camby/marks god thats horrific .... my keyboard just exploded
Roy has started slow and looked old the last 2 years IMO. Added in that apparently everyone wants him to change his whole game, I think he can recover.
