Brandon Roy

[Br0nxer]

Such a shame what happened to the guy

Aside from the comments this week griping about playing time has been nothing but a class act.

Let his frustration get the best of him

Probably will never be the same player again. Real fukkin shame

[Snowball]

yeah, but he shoulda kept his mouth shut instead of making a controversy
and putting his coach in a tough spot with fans.
let's see how Roy does tonight.. if he is still clutch money.

QFT. I sure hope you/I are wrong though.

It really is a shame what happened to his career. Two bum wheels and will never be the elite scorer he once was.

I would go with Veteran here

Lets see what he has

[incomeraise]

well...as much as it sucks....some players went through the same...who knows how good penny hardaway and grant hill were going to be....grant hill was for sure going to be a heck heck heck of a player...the way he plays now at his age with all the thing he had to deal with..hmmmmm i dont know!!

[fsfalcons]

I hope roy can strengthen his knees somehow. he's an extraordinary player, I would really like to see him play healthy

[sportsfun]

didn't grant hill go through similar situation. This year he was quite good. Maybe Roy can still be good in the future. Well Portland does hope so.

[Br0nxer]

apparently roy's injury is worse than hill's was

career threatening

retirement very soon

[incomeraise]

oh wow...that would really suck then? carre threatening..????
not good for an all star player....he has or shld i say had all the athletic abilities to be a great player......
hope it works out

thats life though sometimes in the pros, ya get hurt, and the guy that replaces you (wesley matthews) is tearing it up

Roy was a superstar on track to definitely become a Hall of Famer, and maybe even reach Icon status. High character player, who Kobe deemed the hardest for him to guard. Roy brought a winning culture back to Portland, and if he doesnt recover, I will never forget that. His 5 seasons in Portland have enough highlights to last a lifetime, and its sad it had to happen to one of the loyal/humble superstars (Rose, Durant, Roy etc.)

The prognosis on Roy's future doesnt look good, but I will say this, if anybody can recover it would be him. Roy's had 6 knee surgeries to date I believe, so he definitely has experience on his side. While he may always have some pain, when youve had an injury for so long, the body will often compensate another part of your body to eliminate pain. Often times it may cause more injury, but if his body adjusts right, he could have a couple more good years left in him. Dejuan Blair is a perfect example of someone whos body has adjusted very well to his injury.

Anyway Portland should start Roy. I like bringing Wesley Matthew off the bench in this series, because DAL is a rare team whos back up 2 guard is better than their starter.
