    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    I'm more worried about the longterm. This season is one thing, but if Roy has lost his first step and his vertical, that's going to completely change his game. He might never be the player he once was, and that's the scariest prospect of all. Add the whole Oden thing onto it, and our hopes and dreams of a Championship are going up in smoke.

    I think so. Others will have to step up there game. Batum needs to average the 20+ that he's capable of.

    That's what I'm afraid of. I didn't want to mention the MF word. Ugh!

    Batum is looking good so far this season. Much more aggressive offensively.

    Is he damaged goods at this point?

    The entire core is outside Batum and LaMarcus.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    Ordinarily my knee-jerk reaction would be to think you are being overly negative ... but ... damn, I feel the same way at this moment. I think I may be in denial about Roy's knee issues, but I may be getting past that stage and entering 'Anger'. It's been easy to ignore the knee issues because of the idiotic "Roy isn't trying" threads, which were ridiculous to me, but now that it appears we have confirmation of lingering knee issues, there is no red herring to argue against.

    Yup, this scares the hell out of me. What a downer.. goddammit, why can't this franchise ever catch a break?

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    I know. I was just thinking about what would happen if Batum went down? Fuck, I would be depressed.

    Atleast I always have college hoops to look forward to.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.


    I used to post more on the main board but I got so angry at times that I wanted to break shit. Now, I am just tired of the whole thing and won't even get mad now. The NBA just takes too much investment, unlike the NFL where you can change your whole team in a matter of a few years and be back in the game.

    If Roy is damaged and Oden isn't getting better then the whole thing is never going to reach a tenth of what could have been. That makes me sad and sports shouldn't make you sad.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    If they decide he doesn't need surgery, i would hope that the Blazers would bring in somebody besides the in house trainer, somebody who might have some ideas as to how to rehab towards maximum strength and explosiveness.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    I'm just really wondering at what point do we get to point fingers at the training staff, because injury after injury after injury, many of them considered "lingering", can't possibly be a coincidence.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    Before we pronounce that he needs amputation, we could consider the possibility that Quick finally bothered to throw in at the end of the article - perhaps some rest will fix the problem.

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    This is a recurring problem for Roy. At some point he will require surgery. How much longer can they put it off? Putting off Batum's shoulder surgery didn't pay off. Putting off Rudy's back problems didn't pay off.

    Oh boy, the board doctors are back in business. Where'd you intern at?

    Re: Finally, it comes out. Brandon Roy is hurt.

    Oh no, you're right. The fact that his knees have consistently had problems every season since we drafted him, or that he had knee problems in college, or that he's had how many knee surgeries on both knees? Noooo that's not a recurring problem, and with the way he's played this year, he definitely won't need surgery. Oh, and the team clearly is acting like they don't agree with me by sending him to a specialist in Los Angeles. Everything is just peachy keen.

    I don't need a doctorate to recognize the writing on the wall. There have been some of us who have been saying for weeks now that Roy hasn't looked right. People called us crazy then, but no, you're right, my education isn't nearly good enough to figure this one out. He's talking about his explosiveness being gone, and his elevation... that's always a great sign.
