I saw him APPEAR to go hard after a loose ball last night and Jason Kidd's 90 year old butt blew right by him. That would have to be frustrating at some level.
I really doubt that he's either pouting or faking. His body has failed him and there is always an emotional toll when something like this happens. If anything he's probably struggling with depression and know how much confidence can affect on-court performance it's no shock to see him flailing and seemingly going through the motions. It's a rough enough break without local talking head types playing arm-chair psychologist and calling into question his work ethic, sanity, etc.
My thoughts exactly. No way he's faking. Did anybody see him chase after that loose ball against Orlando? or run down that steal last night? He is clearly hurt. Besides, if he was faking it . . . why not just sit out? Why go our and play like a turd? He's said all year he doesn't want to miss games, and Then he comes out last week and says "no more monitoring my minutes". That's a guy who wants to play, he's just in a bad spot. But he's not faking the injuries by any means
Yep now he can sit home get fat making a 100k a game without even being in the arena! NICE!!! I would think you free lunch guys on this board would love this!!! Ironclad contract that pays him to pout and disrupt the teams chemistry! This is exactly what we'd hoped our franchise player would become! HAHAHAHAHA!
It is? I don't recall any Blazers fans on this forum hoping this is what would become of Roy. Can you link to posts detailing those hopes, please?
