Oh well, I'm so glad we have a guy like Rudy who can start on most teams.
And more of big G.O. and a don't-take-anymore-crap-from-anyone LMA should be nice to see. This will be a good test.

Indeed. After the win over the Celtics I'm excited to see who steps up in Roy's absence tonight.

I think that more good may come from Roy being out. Come playoff time, we may be looking at this as a blessing. Get Roy totally healthy and then play him.

 

[Minstrel]

Yeah...I want Roy back (100% healthy) as soon as possible, but I must admit that I'm intrigued to see how the team plays another very good team without him. Another win without Roy would be very encouraging. A loss wouldn't be worrying at all.

I feel like we're playing with house money after beating the Celtics!

Let's hope Bayless can put together a solid game tonight. Those turnovers in the BOS game were disconcerting.

 

[AhLian]

Trade him.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Please return ROY!!!! We looked horrible without him!

Looks like we may be without Brandon for awhile... ugh! Why couldn't it have been Blake or someone?

The news is going from bad to worse regarding Brandon Roy and his injured right hamstring.

The Trail Blazers' All-Star guard had a magnetic resonance imaging performed on his ailing leg Saturday morning, according to coach Nate McMillan, and could miss the Trail Blazers' trip to Los Angeles.

McMillan said after his team's Saturday morning practice that he hoped to get results before the Blazers travel to Los Angeles later this afternoon. Roy has missed the last two games with a sprained hamstring that originally was thought to be minor but is looking more and more like it could be a more serious, and perhaps lengthy, setback.

Even if MRI results come back positive, Roy is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

When I hear word of the MRI results, I'll post more.

Hmm, when did it become possible to sprain a hamstring?

 

[illmatic99]

We're at #8 in the WC right now. I don't think this team can sustain Brandon being out too long without slipping behind Utah.

KP, you might need to make a move.

maybe we would have one with roy!
