    Well Layman can already hit one shot in 90 minutes so maybe we need something different?

    Probably nerves. He hasn't played at all this season.

    He got the ball inside against a big man with 2 seconds on the shot clock and got blocked twice. Should he have just not shot, taken the shot clock violation, and saved a couple FGAs? If he'd been doing that all game, he'd be 1-7 right now.

    He's also rusty, having not played an NBA game in weeks, so he gets a pass. He's taking good shots and most are very close (hitting inside of the rim).

    You love your stats but sometimes you struggle contextually.

    Now that we've clinched the playoffs, we need to lose for draft position. Err...at least some people might think that ;)

    I'm not concerned taking into account 3 things:

    1) He was a 2nd Round pick. That's like rounds 6 and 7 in the NFL Draft.

    2) He's likely nervous.

    3) It's his first actual game played as a Starter in the NBA.

    No matter how the second half turns out, I am so proud of the guys playing tonight. They are playing good defense and giving the full -strength Spurs all they can handle.

    I would love to see a win and to laugh at The Spurs and the The Texas Turncoat!

    Not only is a small sample size a bad reflection of ability, but it's also a reflection of the fact that he's barely played in the NBA, so he hasn't been able to build any sort of rhythm.

    If he'd been playing 30 minutes a game all year then he'd obviously be shooting a lot better than he is now.

    They won't.

    They haven't even retired Roy's number, which they should have by now.

    Nobody's worn 7 since he retired anyway.
