(Didn't see this posted)

I wish I was joking. I like the Blazers, I like the way they're attempting to rebuild, and I really like Roy. This sucks for him and them all the way around (while at the same time being just a little funny, because really, their luck could not get any worse now).

Roy diagnosed with arthritic knee (http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/11/13/brandon-roy-diagnosed-with-arthritic-knee/)

Blazers superstar Brandon Roy has been playing on one leg this season, with tightness in his left knee sometimes rendering it effectively immobile. Roy's athleticism has been noticeably subdued this year, with the guard lacking the explosion in his first step or his careening take-offs. The Blazers feared surgery would be needed to fix the problem.

The actual diagnosis is somehow worse.

The Oregonian's Jason Quick reports that Roy will avoid surgery, but has been diagnosed with "arthritic knee," which will require the guard to take anti-inflammatory medicine daily, will cause pain so long as Roy runs and jumps using his left leg, and means, effectively, that the Roy who swept into the NBA into 2006 is no longer the Roy under Blazer employ.

I remember when Kobe's finger got diagnosed likewise. I heard a lot of guffaws, snickers, et al, most with a Texas twang.

This one seems quite a bit more solemn. hmmmmmm.

Really sucks for him...but at least he's paid. I wonder how much longer he will actually be able to play?

I don't understand though, why doesn't he just have surgery? It seems like his knee is only going to get worse, so he should probably jus get surgery and take some time off.

The only surgery that could help him would me microfracture. Bone on bone.

All he needs is to stay hydrated, take 1 aspirin a day, get rest and good sleep when possible and he will be JUST fine. It is not like he is 35 with these problems. No story here.

How much laker semen do you digest to get over the fact that a leg /= finger?

FML, the best SG in the league now has arthritic knees. Even if he can continue playing under pain. He is only 26.

FML, rapists like Kobe gets to play in the NBA with a relatively injury free career, and win multiple championships while being carried by great big men.

You got no room any longer. Your Neal is a rapist as well.

Congratulations, and welcome to the club.

he would be in jail if he did rape somebody sorry he can't pay off a girl like Kobe did

sorry you will never win this argument Kobe is rapist, not Neal.

besides noobcake is a rockets fan (though i'm not sure if he jumped on the SA bandwagon)

Oops. Sorry Noobs.

Neal is a rapist, just like Kobe. You have to live with that now.

At least Neal can play at a high level. Take solace in that, Hiro.

I'm not even sure why Lakers fans even try to justify rape. Besides, I don't even know Neal's first name. All I know is that he is some scrub on the Spurs.

I ain't justifying rape. Kobe raped. Neal (Gary) raped.

And Neal ain't no scrub. Within' 72 hours of landing in San Antonio Pop & his owner gave Neal a 3 year contract.

Technically, I can't criticize Kobe for what he did in Colorado, either...

Cause my Suns RAPED the Spurs in last year's conference semis.

Giuseppe

11-13-2010, 03:12 PM

But, Mori, that was justifiable rape. The Spurs had that comin'.

That was the suns championship!:lobt: Beating our team in the semi-finals.:lmao

Anyways, I don't think Brandon's career is over. Will he have to adjust his game as his condition becomes worse.
