    Dont get me wrong, I have loved Brandon as a Blazer and I have high hopes for what Greg can do in the future but today we are without both these guys. What do we look like if we have to play the season without Brandon and Greg. I am actually thinking it may be a blessing in many ways if Brandon were shelved for a while. I think the team needs players to step up and grow....perhaps even the coaching staff makes better decisions after time playing a different style. To win this team will have to play defense and will have to run....we are still short shooting but with LA playing big down low it opens things so much for everyone else... I am loving everyones heart and hustle and seeing them play more uptempo...meaning we are playing D! Yeah the past few games were against bad teams...but honestly we arent that great so far and we are trying to change on the fly and I for one am impressed with how we are adapting to life without BRoy... I hope BRoy can come back and fit in but I am excited to see what this current healthy group of guys can do for and extended period. I have high hopes....but no expectations!

    The team will need Roy down the road, but for the time being, getting him healed and rested should be of top importance. It will benefit them when the season gets to the playoff push.

    For some reason i dont understand why people, with this recent Roy meniscus news, they are putting him in the same sentence as oden when it comes to, "the teams play".
    Oden hasnt done anything for this team, he has played in a few games with the same jersey but he is about the farthest thing removed from a trailblazer.
    Brandon, however, can still score in his current condition, now there is a big difference.
    Being told your knee needs surgery, and not being able to heal for over 3 years.
    And, tearing an ACL and playing 8 days later, coming back next season only to learn that the Dr. Says you have no more meniscus, and YET STILL BEING ABLE TO PLAY!!!!!

    HUGE DIFFERENCE, Roy is a Can do, where as Oden is a cant do, Roy is a Come Back, oden is a never was......
    I would not get rid of Brandon, sit him as much as you want, i honestly dont know if sitting reproduces meniscus cartalidge any faster than....not sitting, but keep him.
    Just like you cant cheat your knee's, you cant cheat Basketball I.Q and playoff experience.
    I am a fan of The Blazers ♂, the £-Train, and of course, The ¤ King. ™
