I'm, not concerned, but interested... ok, a tiny bit concerned. This really doesn't have much to do with his performance tonight, or really his performance at all.

Has anyone else been noticing that there doesn't seem to be a lot of fire in him right now? Maybe the hamstring injury has some to do with it, but I almost see kind of a dead look in his eyes lately. Maybe he's just at that point where the playoffs aren't here yet and right now the season just feels long.

Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions. His performance really hasn't been bad at all, save a couple of games, but I was watching his 30 and 33 point games the last few nights, and I really just didn't see any emotion out of him, and haven't seen it since he's come back from his injury. I don't see him getting after teammates or trying to fire them up. I don't see him being vocal really at all, and sometimes I've seen him sulking a bit when the calls aren't going his way.

Now, regardless, I think Roy is going to be fine and that maybe he's just out of sorts a bit.

Am I going crazy, or is anyone else seeing a little of what I'm talking about?
 
Nah dogg, you're crazy! He's fine, and an All-Star!
 
Differing opinion, I think he looks fine out there. In the last two games he was actually moving around a lot more to get the ball. When Sergio starts he has the ball in his hands more and he creates for the offense. When Blake starts Roy is the offense.

Maybe he's not in his comfort zone having to work without the ball as much.

I've noticed this too.

It comes with being a star, and Brandon now feels he has the right to argue calls. He's probably argued a call once last season, and now he's arguing on almost every time he doesn't get the whistle. I don't mind it really, being aggressive and putting pressure on the referees is a good thing, but it really shows the his change from being a rookie/sophomore into a legitimate NBA star.
 
B. Roy is the last guy I'm ever concerned about. When we need him, he'll be there.
 
B-Roy is the definition of poise. Even though he was struggling tonight he still kept his head up, played hard D, distributed the ball, and hit some free throws down the stretch. I'm calling it.

Second coming of Clyde the Glide!!!

Well he probably looked down because he only got to the foul line once in this game, when there were many questionable no calls.

Not just this game, the whole season basically.
 
I don't think you are crazy. It is a long season, and playing through a sore hammy has to drag a guy down.
 
You're crazy. Did you miss his dunk against the Clippers?
 
He's thinking about his new daughter. Enough said.

He looked pretty pissed tonight. The refs were hosing him.
 
You're probably just overthinking it.
 
I think it's great that we won this game with our leader having an off night. He'll bounce back here in Dallas!
 
I haven't really noticed much difference in Roy. He always seems to have a cool, even-keel demeanor on the court, not getting too emotional (unless it's a big play like a game winning buzzer beater).
 
he did look alive in that clippers game but that was a few games ago. i'm sure the hammy and finger are still bothering him and besides, every player goes through rough patches in their games. look at LA, at the beginning of the season most you were throwing him under the bus.
 
He looked really off last evening.

He's fine, I just wish he could figure out how to throw the fucking ball into Greg when he is wide open under the basket.
 
I just don't think he's a high drama guy. Like the president, just stays calm. This is an asset; we've always heard that at crunch time or when the clock is running down he does not panic. But it also means we don't see fire. Doesn't mean it's not there.

I agree, Roy is about the last person on this team I worry about. He's a consummate professional.
