    Roy not playing because he is affraid of getting hurt. Get ready for a lot of Roy not practicing during the season stories.......Ridiculous. If you can't play then retire.

    Kobe very rarely ever practices with the Lakers and Drexler was never one to practice. I get your overall point just don't think him not practicing is that big of a deal.

    Some Blazer players think it's a big deal. A few have said they need to bring guys in that can practice every day

    I'm pretty sure that was one player, Andre Miller, and the quote seemed to be misinterpreted.

    That player is now the back-up PG in Denver, if Denver picks up his option.

    I guess Roy was told before the lockout by his doctor that he shouldn't play in this kind of event. So I guess he knew all along that he wouldn't be playing?

    Isn't it passed the time Denver had to release him in?

    This shows that Roy will be totally unreliable for the rest of his career, rationing out his minutes and demanding to play only in big games that give him glory.

    Just pay him off and get him out of here.

    We'll see next year when he's a back-up to Ty Lawson. His selfishness helped destroy chemistry on what was a 54-win team when he came to Portland.

    Not sure. Could be. Either way, there's not going to be much of a season next year. The players and owners aren't even meeting at this point.

    This picture sure looks like Aaron Brooks on the bench and not Nolan Smith.

    Nolan is the one in the superman t-shirt.

    Actually the caption says that Nolan is participating in the game. So maybe it makes sense he isn't on the bench.

    Poor guy appears to be in pain, tongue hanging out in misery.

    I guess I was wrong that if he lacked the ambition to play token minutes today, the same will be true during the season.

    Remember when he was mad at McMillan because he thought he was entitled to large minutes in the playoffs? His words said that he works out and is pain-free. Some say that actions triumph words, but they aren't Blazer fans.

    His tongue is hanging out because that bitch is choking him! We have to find out who she is and keep her away from him.
