sounds like roy is having trouble playing with miller. says hasnt felt like this since rookie year. thats a bit disturbing considering hes our best player. or maybe getting beat down by the clippers is more disturbing. not sure whats worse.


Roy continues to look completely out of sorts in the preseason. He admitted after the second Sacramento game that he feels like a rookie all over again, trying to find his place in the Blazers offense. Tonight, I saw him as frustrated as I’ve ever seen him in a game. The Clippers trapped him, slapped him and whacked him any time he got into the lane.

Roy is fighting his emotions right now, unsure of whether he should be frustrated and concerned or whether he should dismiss all of this as preseason. In Sacramento, he told me he doesn’t know what to think, that he needs time to sort it all out. We have arranged to talk Saturday. I will have a story on that for Monday’s editions of The Oregonian.
 
Why do you say it might be because of Miller. It didn't say that from what I read. Roy has struggle in all 3 games and Miller only started the last game.
 

“There’s a lot of talent out there, but not a lot of touches,’’ - LaMarcus Aldridge

Interesting quote. What do you think he is sayin'?

As for Roy, Who stole his mojo?? Back to LaMarcus, he isn't doing himself any favors with his contract extension. Is it just me, or has he been listless thus far in preseason? To me, I'm not sensing much of a pulse out of him out there. Maybe it's due to the contract extension. But if you're KP, Larry Miller and more so Vulcan. It's probably tough to cut the check or give him the money he want's with him playing as he is. That's why all of this should have been done in the off season. Can't believe were still discussing this.

This roster is desperate for a consolidation trade. Or two.
 
If the Celtics can figure out how to get their's with Garnett/Pierce/Allen/Rondo, the Blazers can figure it out as well. It's called being unselfish.
 
Brandon just needs to be reminded that this is still his team and we go as he goes. He'll be fine. The team just played 3 games in 4 days in the preseason. There's nothing to worry about here.
 
i dont know... im starting to get a feeling that this season has let down written all over it

I believe that's a record. Three entire preseason games before MIXUM writes the year off.

Why did you come up with that rationale, and ignore the following part of the article?

McMillan for one, is not worried. He said Roy’s ineffectiveness in the first two games was because the Blazers were playing Sacramento, a team the Blazers set out to expose inside. The focus, therefore, was on getting Oden the ball.

LMAO! You are fucking hilarious! :biglaugh:

This is preseason and it's also a long season. Roy is a baller and shoudn't have to compromise his game as much as others to "fit in." At the end of the game, it's still gonna be BRoy with the ball in his hands and he'll get to work his magic.
 
we might have too much talent.... and maybe it just doesnt fit
 
Growing pains. I am not worried about it. They are still kids!

Also, thats just how it is here in Blazer-fan-land. Wins = we are the best team in the league. Loss = destroy and rebuild.

And they only played like 25 minutes lol big deal. Against the fucking clippers lol

Now that Roy's been paid, he's just gonna ride along...so long as they CTC.
 
Working out the kinks is what preseason is for.

I see what you're saying ... last night I got to thinking about the Hornets last year and how they were supposed to be the next big "It" team, and they came out of the gate completely out of sorts and out of rhythm.

I guess we'll see what happens.

Not true. The Celtics have three players that take shots, and one (Rondo) that facilitates shots. The Blazers have 5 or 6 players that deserve shots and one (Miller) that facilitates shots.
 
The biggest difference between this year and last year isn't Andre Miller. It's a healthy Greg Oden. Nate is trying to get Greg more involved in the offense, so it's throwing the starters off a bit. They were used to one thing, now they've added a couple more pieces and it's going to take some getting used to.
 
IT........ IS.......... PRESEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Mixum, if me having a constantly positive attitude about the team I have followed since I was born makes me a "homer" as you called me the other day....... What the fuck are you!?!?!?! Claiming that our season has failure written all over it after the 3rd preseason game is the most ridiculous post in the history of this place! Personal attack

LA,BROY and the rest of the guys need to realize and so do we that they might not put up huge numbers this season. With as much talent as we have, the stats will be spread out a bit. As long as we are winning, they will be fine.

If this is true, and it probably is, then Miller has to play about 40 min or more with all the shooters. Or we have to develop a player/team that can do effective distribution. Maybe what Nate was trying with Rudy.
