Bucher with some Roy comments on Mike and Mike

I've been saying this for the last several weeks. Brandon is sitting out until the new PG arrives. In the one game he played without Miller this season, Brandon looked just fine. Got to the basket. Got to the free throw line. Orlando needs a back up C. Once Joel proves he's recovered, he goes to the Magic for Jameer Nelson.

 

if any of this fakeness is true it's just absolutely pathetic for a 'pro' athlete getting paid what he does to be this childish and selfish.

i hope it's not, but there seems to be more and more 'rumors' of this turning up.

 

I wish it were true that Roy was just pouting...but he's not. Roy's knees are done unless the team can find some treatment to correct the problem.

 

They didn't look "done" in the game that Miller was suspended from.

 

You mean when he shot 5-15?

That game doesn't matter anyways. He has no meniscus in either knee and the problem only gets worse with time.

 

You are the king of the one-game-star.

 

The fact that he was excited that Miller was out and that it gave him a little extra spring in his step just makes him look worse.

You must know plenty of good surgeons in California, why don't you have them remove your meniscus from one knee and jog about a thousand miles a year and see what happens?

Do that and then realize that Brandon has been said to have no meniscus in either knee and then you won't worry about one game. Shaq can still dominate stretches of games, old and out of shape as he is.

 

This is such ridiculous speculation. Are the doctors mistaken when they say the tests show he has no meniscus in his knees? Is that pouting?

 

No, I'm sure his knees are shot, but whether or not he's pouting has nothing to do with his doctors.

 

lol.

Mediocre man, your opinion of your supposed favorite team is so jaded.

 

I can't tell you, but to avoid the FDA it has to done in international waters on Paul's yacht. The yellow submarine is patrolling around in circles right now.

Live fire!! Hit the deck!!

 

Lol Ric blasting randomly from the hip again. He's just throwing that out there, he didn't sound too sure what theory he was going with on this issue.

He also said the Heat wouldn't take paycuts because all players care about money. When some of these ESPN people do their psychoanalyst shtick, it doesn't turn out well.

 

He got to the line 9 times so that's like shooting 9 of 19 plus an and1. He's had better shooting games this season but he got to the basket easily in that game. Box score doesn't show that.

 

Whatever the reason, whether it's fragile knees, limited skill set, or fragile ego (I think it's all 3), anyone who can't happily produce alongside Miller for the tidy sum of $17 million dollars a year isn't worth the time of day.

Trade him, waive him or shut him down for the season.

The Blazers are a lot more fun without him.

I say we trade him for Steve Blake.

 

I disagree with just about everything in this post. Roy clearly made his teammates better on offense; I don't think that can be disputed when you look at the actual statistics (5 apg for his career, 54 wins for a team starting Steve Blake, Nic Batum, the soft version of LMA, and Przy, with Outlaw being the primary bench scorer). Secondly, the past three games the Blazers have averaged 91 ppg. Clearly there are some offensive issues that are being masked right now. Last, Roy also demands a double-team on the perimeter, or at least did when healthy, which leads to easy baskets. I shudder to see what Rck Adelman does to this team tonight. LMA has to have a huge night.

 

I think some people's memories are short as to how good BRoy was. I think HCP should put together a BRoy appreciation video.

 

Nothing that you said in your post countered his claim. He said that Roy didn't really make the players around him better, and you pointed to his assist numbers, the teams overall wins, and the teams lack of scoring now (which might, MIGHT have something to do with them having NO bench).

 

I kind of doubt that everyone will be right back to loving him. If Roy has been purposely tanking and is waiting for Miller to be traded, he's a pretty disgusting player.

However, I don't think that's the case. I think he's actually permanently changed due to injuries.
