The way I see it Wes plays defense, attacks the rim, shoots a decent three ball, get his teamates involved, and moves the ball up the court!

Even when Roy was "HEALTHY" he never played defense or moved the ball with any energy allowing other teams to set up.

How is this not an upgrade in the long run?

Roy off the bench seems to be logical...

If we continue to lose it's not cause of Wes it's cause we have no coach, I truly believe now Roy starting making us worse.
 
LOL you can't be serious, Roy is the 3rd best shooting guard in basketball and a top 15 player when healthy. Wes is a decent role player, but cmon now were talking about Brandon Roy.

This would be like me saying let's bench Kobe in favor of Brown. LOL!
 
Have you seen his last six games? He's got Andre Miller lift and my mom could block his shot! Further I think the league knows he's gone lame cause he could get kicked down the court without a whistle!
 
Roy has a better ability to hit really tough shots, which is a key to our offense being successful.
 
Oh and the point is he's not ever going to BE HEALTHY AGAIN not to the level that made him a top 3 shooting guard, he's got no knees !!!
 
The ability to tell the coach what do do. :ohno:
 
Oh ya mean when no play is run the clock has almost run out and Brandon does a 1 on five shot that when he had lift would go in? That one?
 
I can't believe I'm about to say this...

But I agree with the Laker fan. O_O
 
I would love to see Nate draw up a play? I wonder who's the coke bottle and who's the piece of lint? GOODNEESSSS!!!
 
I think you guys still think we're dealing with Brandon Roy year 2? He's a shell of that now! Imagine Kobe with no knees and or lift and I promise Phil would be playing Brown way more!
 
Roy still has a great pull up jumper. That is a skill that used to be common, but isn't amymore. He just needs to find new ways to create more separation. His game will evolve. Hopefully sooner than later, but it eventually will. No one else on the team comes close to having a pull up jumper. Matthews has a decent one at the free throw line. But not in Roy's class.
 
MELT DOWN comes to mind when i see wes over roy
 
Let's also not forget the Kobe is one of the best defenders in the game, Roy think again!

Kobe played with a bad knee and a bad finger last season, he would struggle mightily with his shot at times, but that never changed the player that he was. Same goes for Roy, he may be struggling to adjust and may be slightly injured, but he is most definitely still the best player on the Blazers.

I want to point out to all the doom and gloom posters, that Brandon Roy had no meniscus last year as well and struggled to find his shot at times, but he eventually got it going and became a 3 time All Star.

I understand that people are down on the team and Brandon at the moment. But come on people, have some faith.

You can either keep doing the same thing and failing over and over again, repeating the same mistakes, or you can adjust and change the path. This is almost like groundhog day. The only difference is, eventually Bill Murray made a change and broke the cycle. Whereas, we are still in the pickup, with the groundhog in it, being chased by the cops and driving off the cliff.

Cool story, bro.
 
Kobe has meniscus in his knees, Roy does not! This is not about waiting for a finger to mend or having a sore knee! Roy has no break pads in his knees means he's bone on bone! Kobe is not! There's a little difference....
 
Jeez, the Roy hate is getting out of hand.

He can actually pass the ball. Wes either can't or doesn't. And Roy's midrange game is money. Wes doesn't have a midrange game. Roy also has a better handle of the ball ( I know the last few games have said otherwise, but the point remains).

There's a reason BRoy made the all star team three times in a row.

And no matter WTF you say, BRoy is still one of the most clutch players in the game.
 
As has been said, Roy hits contested mid range jumpers like it's nobody's business, with or without healthy knees.

Roy also has a better handle and better passing abilities, but as of right now, it doesn't really matter with his extreme lack of quickness or explosion.
 
You take 90 mill as the go guy and face of the franchise and hide how bad your knees really are and become basically an old steve smith type of player than... HELL YES you're going to lose popularity in a HURRY! He knew he was in pain and let this franchise max him! Last summer was the biggest free agent market in years, we could have gotten better had he told the truth! Sure both his knees just fell apart in month 1 of the season! HAHAHAHAHHA

Didn't Roy hit a HUGE 3 at the end of the Clippers game right in the defender's eye? It seems like most posters tend to ignore the positives when he plays. Fans take for granted how difficult it is to have a player like Roy be able to hit contested jumpers.
 
Soo... Roy was hurt for the last 3 years, but still managed to become an All-Star, then once he got paid $85 million dollars he could magically be more hurt in some scheme to steal money from the Blazers organization? Or something like that...?

I'm soo confused.

>_<
 
I have tons of faith just not with MISS Roy and her pre madonna ways! EARN your 90 mill and adapt, change do whatever but act like a fucking franchise player not like a sixth man wanting Kobe treatment! Fair enough? Otherwise sit the hell down and let Wes and crew atleast try on a nightly basis!
 
The ability and the know how to take over a game and close it out. However, with his limited ability, I don't how much good that is.
 
That clutch 3 he hit last game to help hold off the Clippers comes to mind.

Roy is the kind of guy who, even when it doesn't seem possible, is going to try to find a way to carry his team to a win.

Wesley is a solid player and I'm hoping that he still has a lot of upside, but so far we've seen no indication that he's going to become an elite player.
 
We got swept by the JV east, can any of you remember a time when that happened? ROY was playing! If he can't do against the Wiz how ya going to do it againt the elite teams? Wes and Andre have been carryig this team NOT Roy!

I want to see Roy adapt and change, no more running to the hoop being swatted like a fly and screaming for a foul he's not going to get, then he pouts under the hoop while the other team runs a fast break for a bucket! Change that to start! Fair enough?
