    All three announcers of the LA/Miami game just criticized Roy and said he was selfish for refusing to play with Miller. Wow. Thoughts?

    Hard to defend him in this case.

    Hopefully, if it's true that Roy is too selfish to play with Andre, he see's how much of a dumbass he's making himself out to be.

    Did you hear them by any chance? They went on about it for awhile. So what do you think Nik?

    It's actually kinda deserved. I never expected Roy to be such a brat.

    Now that he has an $80m contract *BOOM* out comes this massive ego.

    No, I didn't hear/see it. If they did this, then I can only assume they are capable of reading newspapers and hearing the gossip that goes around the league and then forming an opinion from that. What else is there to say?

    occasionally I have a stick-shift problem. The gears don't always match up. I might have a slipping clutch, I'm not sure.

    I have one of those. It requires frequent pit stops.

    That's an interesting question. They specifically said statements players were making weren't team oriented they sounded all about "me". They then went on to say it was Roy and he was acting selfish. So they were basing it off of Roy's statements.

    I wish I had been recording it so I could hear exactly what they said. I'm sure ESPN will replay this game later tonight if someone other then me wants to watch it. I just thought it was surprising that they would talk about that situation when we weren't even playing.

    I'm not sure what to think about it. I've been worried by Roy's statements and now it's impacting his image and reputation. I wonder how he will respond. I want the old Roy back.

    I know that the nba media has said that they are happy Portland is back, but I think it's because they like seeing the team fail for some reason. Not that they're conspiring against the team or franchise, but it's like they enjoy seeing the team blunder things.

    We're not the only one who they do it to, though. I think they enjoy having more teams for their favorites to feast on.

    Yeah. I hope Roy is watching the game.

    When did they say it? I'd like to see it if they replay it, without having to watch any more of the game than I have to.

    I want a new and improved Roy. Or CP3. Whichever is easier to get.

    He has absolutely been a little shit about it. I watched another game last night where they tore into Roy for being a primadona for not playing with Miller , and not accepting Oden as a force down low.

    I blame Nate. Seriously. It's his job to get this shit straightened out. Or straighten the little shit out. Or whatever.

    It's part Nate's fault as well.
