B-Roy baby!

I am so sick of hearing about how Brandon Roy isn't the same player he used to be and can't help our team.  He has no cartilage in either of his knees, of course he's not the same player he used to be.  But he can't help our team because of that?  Absolutely false.  Look at his performance in games 3 and 4 of this playoff series vs. Dallas, specifically game 4.  If it were not for him, we would be down 3-1 heading into Dallas tonight.  But we're not.  We're tied 2-2 with all of the momentum on our side.  While we can't expect these plays every game (other people have to have their superstar moments too), but he knows when he needs to step up.  After game 2 he said he was disappointed in how little he played.  And for some reason, people in Portland seemed upset by that.  But he had a point.  He carried this team up until this year, and has done every single thing the organization has asked of him.  Why shouldn't he be hurt?  We should show him the same amount of respect he has shown us.  He has taken his role as a bench player seriously and has done everything he can this season to help the team reach the point we have, while still letting LaMarcus and other's shine.

So for all the Brandon Roy haters out there, I'm pretty sure he shut you up after the last game.  And if not, then I'm pretty sure you need to turn in your Trailblazers fan card.  If you are a Blazers fan, you are a B-Roy fan, plain and simple.
