Depending on roy... this upcoming schedule could decide season

Dude, MIXUM, you say this every week. And then you justify it every time you say it.

 

Mixum doesn't bother me as much as he does some of you (in fact buried under his bitter beer face he's actually got some pretty astute observations) ... but, man it must be exhausting being you?!

 

He sure does suck the fun out of everything pretty effectively.

 

F*ck the Purple and Piss!!!

 

The next 39 games are TOTALLY going to determine whether we make the playoffs!

 

IF....... roy is out to the all star break..... season is OVER.

 

Again ...

 

I actually would like to see what this team does without Roy. We need to find someone else to be another "go to" gut in the fouth quarter. I'd like to see Aldridge become that player. I also want to see how Rudy performs with a starting role and heavy minutes.

This season hasn't turned out the way we wanted it to, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been a great one. I love seeing players step up and this team's performance has been all heart.

 

I agree completely. For me, this season has become less about contending than it has about watching players grow and a team learning to fight through adversity. This is a great chance to see what Bayless and Rudy can do in Brandon's absence. And, like you said, this is an opportunity for Aldridge to step out of his second fiddle personna a see if he can become the main man on the court. I've also really enjoyed watching Miller's play lately. I'm sure that we're going to see more losses than we would have otherwise, but the team may actually be better off in the long run for having to learn to play without relying so much on Brandon.
