Blazers are the youngest team to win 50 games in NBA History

[scanry]

:wow:wow:wow:wow

Didn't know that...

Damn their future does look bright, but too bad they'll have to go through the Cavaliers & the Lakers over the next decade. :p:

[Darthkiller]

they almost beat cavs in cleveland and im pretty sure aldridge was out for that game, maybe batum too. they lost in overtime.

[IronMexican]

If only they made the right pick and got Durant.

[baseline bum]

Imagine if they had Durant on that team. Also, what was Minnesota thinking, taking Randy Foye over Brandon Roy?

[IronMexican]

Do you guys think Roy is a first tier player?(Top 10 in the NBA)

[Allanon]

Roy isn't yet but mostly because there are so many guys better than him:

Lebron/Kobe/DWade/CP3/Duncan/KG/Dwight/Yao/Dirk/Kevin Durant/Tony Parker

That's all the guys I could think of in 15 seconds, there's probably more I've forgot.

I think the problem with Roy that keeps him from becoming elite is because he's like Lamar Odom, good at alot of things but not great at any 1 thing.

[lefty]

That's because Olden missed a lot of games :D

C'mon man, you're comparing Lamar to Roy? Odom is like a scrub compared to Roy...

Roy is a SG and the only SG's that i can think of right now who are better than Roy are Kobe & Wade.

[Bob Lanier]

And, as we've seen more than once this season, Roy is capable of outplaying Bryant.

Though, as we've seen in seasons past, Bryant is capable of outplaying Roy.

[Allanon]

C'mon man, you're comparing Lamar to Roy? Odom is like a scrub compared to Roy...

Nah, not comparing the two in that sense. As much as I like Odom, Roy's bettah.

But it's the fact that both are jacks of all trades as opposed to specialists that brings commonality to the two.

LeBron, Kobe,Wade are all great scorers and good defenders.
CP3 is an assist man and scorer
DHo is a block and rebound machine
Dirk/Yao/Tony Parker/Kevin Durant are scoring machines

What's Roy's specialty?

[Bob Lanier]

You just said Tony Parker is better than Roy.

I realize you're trolling/sputtering-over-defensively, but: at what?

[Allanon]

Tony Parker IS better than Brandon Roy, what are you spouting about?

[Bob Lanier]

At what?

[Allanon]

At what?

WTF is "at what?" supposed to mean? Form a complete sentence.

[Bob Lanier]

"What's Parker's specialty?"

[Allanon]

"What's Parker's specialty?"

Tony Parker's specialty is scoring at a very high percentage.

Tony Parker is the #1 FG% guard in the NBA (of all the point guards and shooting guards that actually score a good bunch).

[Bob Lanier]

Yet he scores less than Roy.

Much like Roy scores slightly less, but at a notably higher percentage, than does Kobe Bryant.

[DPG21920]

Bob Lanier, is this a joke? TP is clearly better than Roy. Watch the damn game.

[Allanon]

Yet he scores less than Roy.

Much like Roy scores slightly less, but at a notably higher percentage, than does Kobe Bryant.

We're not just talking about more or less (Tony shoots fewer shots than Roy).

We're talking about being #1 FG% of ALL scoring guards, that's Tony Parker.

Kobe Bryant faces double & triple teams as does LeBron and Wade. Brandon Roy does not usually even get a double team.

[Bob Lanier]

That must explain why he was able to torch Kobe last week, then - he was playing him one-on-one.

[Morg1411]

That must explain why he was able to torch Kobe last week, then - he was playing him one-on-one.

And that one game proves that Roy is a better guard than Kobe Bryant?

Oh, wait...better than TP....wait...

What the fuck are you arguing here exactly, that Roy is the best guard around?

[Allanon]

That must explain why he was able to torch Kobe last week, then - he was playing him one-on-one.

Kobe hasn't played well in Portland since 2005, even before Brandon Roy was in the NBA.

[tlongII]

B-Roy is definitely one of the top 10 players in the league.

[Morg1411]

B-Roy is definitely one of the top 10 players in the league.

Shut up, homer.

He's good. He's no Top 10.

[SpursDynasty]

Doesn't mean much....the Western Conference was banged up pretty bad this season. The Blazers were bound to get a few extra wins. That is why seeds 2-7 were so even until recently, with all West teams banged up, it's hard for the good teams to look that much better than the mediocre teams....

Not impressed. Portland will go home in the first round, but hey at least they made the playoffs.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

B-Roy is definitely one of the top 10 players in the league.
NO he is not. You are a retard.
(not in order)
1.Kobe
2.LeBron
3.Pierce
4.Paul
5.Wade
6.Parker
7.Duncan
8.Howard
9.Williams
10.Yao

That is naming a few. Try again next season.

[lil_penny]

im not sure hes a top 10 in the league quite yet, but hes easily top 3 shooting guard and for the things he does for this team hes priceless, hes also one of the best closers in the game hes a great player and keep seeing him get better and better.. i was hoping we could of had martell back this season but the damn injurie bug had to get him pretty bad. roy is slowly getting better at defense also(along with the team in general)

How about adding Dirk, Durant, Bosh, Garnett, Billups to that list??

Horseshit. The only guys better than Roy on that list are Kobe, LeBron, Wade, and Howard.

Every GM in the NBA would still take

Duncan
Chris Paul
Kevin Garnett
Dirk Nowitzki
Pierce
Deron Williams
Kevin Durant
Billups

over Brandon Roy at this moment....

[Spurs 4 The Win]

You are a retard. Plain and simple. Go to the doctor and get your brain checked. :lmao

[Roxsfan]

tlong has got to be a top 5 retard from this forum

1. Spursdynasty
2. Tlong
3. dirk4mvp
4. Rogue
5. mavs>spurs.

you can sub BRHornet and some others sons.

Actually this guy is pretty solid when not in Rockets/Mavs dick slamming thread.

Also:
Lebron, Wade, Howard, Kobe, Paul, Durant are clearly better, after that its probably debateable. But then again, who really cares who the 13th best player in the NBA is or whatever.

[IronMexican]

Billups over Roy? No way. Every other player named, probably.

[tlongII]

Duncan can hardly walk any more. He's obviously a Hall of Famer, but there's no fucking way he's better now. The rest of those guys just aren't that good period.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

You are an idiot. Duncan on one leg is and will be better than Roy will ever be. Come talk to me if he does something noteworthy during the playoffs.

[BlackSwordsMan]

wow this team with durant would be fucking scary

[BlackSwordsMan]

lol oden
what a fucking fruit loop

[BlackSwordsMan]

[Amaso]

Brandon Roy is a really good player, no denying that. He's a legit all-star, but hes not top 10 in the NBA.

He is not really elite at one thing, hes just solid all-around.

[Brazil]

:wow:wow:wow:wow

Didn't know that...

Damn their future does look bright, but too bad they'll have to go through the Cavaliers & the Lakers over the next decade. :p:

that's impressive too bad for KD but fortunately for the other teams

[Chieflion]

Roy is better than Williams, at least for this season. And definitely better than Garnett and Billups this season.

[KSeal]

wow this team with durant would be fucking scary

It's unbelievably scary that this team could have had KD. I can't even imagine how much better this team would be, and they're already like the second best team in the west without him. It would be dynasty talk if they had KD too.

[scanry]

I'm glad they didn't get him. They had like 4-5 lottery picks in 5 years. That's just retarded.

[tlongII]

Greg Oden is much more valuable to us than Durant would be. Nobody can deal with our size. Except the refs maybe...

[Indazone]

Good then the Blazers will be the youngest 50 win team to be bounced out in the first round.

[KSeal]

Greg Oden is much more valuable to us than Durant would be. Nobody can deal with our size. Except the refs maybe...

:lmao Oden more valuable then Durant, talk about denial. Lakers match your size and exceed your talent.

[scanry]

Greg Oden is much more valuable to us than Durant would be. Nobody can deal with our size. Except the refs maybe...

Same way Sam Bowie was more valuable than Jordan. Moron worship us for giving you Kevin Prick, otherwise you'd be in the lottery every fucking year.

BTW Durant is better than every player on the Blazer squad.

[resistanze]

DAMN!

I know, what a 2,3,4. Thank the sweet lord they took Sam Bowie #2, Durant is on his way to being MJ #2.

No way can one team guard Durant, Aldridge and Roy.. :wow:wow

[Morg1411]

DAMN!

Don't give the Blazers FO any bright ideas. :wow

[KSeal]

They already had their chance to get Durant and totally blew it, no fucking way they can get him now. They're going to have to pay out their asses next off season to keep Roy and Aldridge in town anyways.
