Wizards praise Roy

[Shooter]

Before the game, Wizards interim coach Ed Tapscott spoke about being wary of Roy's ability to go to his left. And yet his team couldn't stop it.

"Everything you learn along the way when you play basketball is: Force a guy to his weak hand. The problem is, his weak hand is his strong hand," Tapscott said afterward. "I wouldn't be surprised if he writes left-handed . . . "

"Every year he's improving. He's understanding what it takes to be one of those elite guys," said All-Star forward Antawn Jamison, who led the Wizards with 22 points.

"It wasn't going well for him in the first half. He didn't force it -- continued to plug away. And the last four or five minutes of the game, who had the ball in their hands? Who made plays? Who won the game? It was him," Jamison said.

I still crack up when I think of Stephen A Smith on draft night "I don't know what Portland is doing! I don't even want to talk about Portland! They have no philosophy!"

Don't know about the philosophy, but the talent evaluation has sure been stellar.

Yea he is a good player. He has always got stuck on crappy teams though.

Jamison is like Shareef. He is a good scorer, but needs the ball, and isn't a very good defender. Maybe you get him on a good defensive minded team he'd excel, but every time I watch him play I think Shareef.
