Tonight's ovation touched Roy to the point that he compared this evening to how he felt after the birth of his first child, Brandon Roy Jr.

That's because he didn't realize that people were cheering his departure. The bum!

I come here expecting a stoner thread, and this is all I get?

Or maybe, Lillard has healed many of those wounds left by the departure of Roy.

This for me. I'm glad the writer sees things the same way I did. It's really uncanny that lillard possesses the same trait that Roy had in Portland. It's the weirdest feeling deep down inside me. It's like we got Roy reincarnated.

But they're both alive at the same time, so it's more like Jesus and John the Baptist.

Last evening, Lillard was overheard uttering, "There is one coming after me whose sneakers I am not worthy to untie."

Coincidence?

Great article. I had forgotten that Roy was also drafted sixth. That's spooky.

Yeah at the beginning of the season when I really started seeing the similarities of Roy in Lillard; I noticed that too. It's really really strange. Like redemption or something.

Who would of thunk it would only take one draft for Olshey to get his own, better version of Roy and Oden.

What could have been is really hard to let go of, especially because it could have been so incredibly special, but that is the nature of life. Stotts, Lilliard, and Olshey have eased the pain.

Goodbye, sweet dreams!
