Great game by Roy. It's hilarious to listen to the too predictable talk radio and Jason Quick "Is Roy BACK?!" dribble. He wasn't even the Roy of old last night, let alone for a significant string of games. He was pretty good though, and I'll be happy if he can consistently be 80% of what we saw last night, with an occasional big game -- like in the playoffs. :-)
 
No... he still wasn't. Better than any other time this season? Yes. Roy of "old"? No.

Unfortunately, the Roy Of Olde is gone, but he did look about as good as the Roy of 2009 (Miami, for example): reduced athleticism, extreme efficiency. While his first half was a little lame (2-8), he was 7-10 in the second half using LMA as a decoy to let him pick his drives and shots. It will take an entire team working together to get Roy those efficient looks, but he's a good enough player to hit the shots. Remember, from the waist up (ala Sabonis), he's still Roy.
 
Roy is Roy. At some point we have to stop worrying about whether he's the "Roy of old" and just appreciate him for who he is: still one of the few players we have who can consistently free himself up for a shot and knock down the critical ones.

Exactly. it's his mental fortitude that is his best weapon, imho.
 
Yes. Roy is back to exactly what he will be forever. A good game sprinkled amongst a bunch of crappy ones
