Did anyone else catch B-Roy on Jim Rome?
Very VERY solid interview. WOW this kid is a amazing. Level headed had a good intelligent answer for every question. Oozes confidence, but is not bragadocious. This kids is going to lead place, you better belive that! Man, I can't wait for Roy, La and Oden all playing together!
Another thought I had during the interview is with Roy at the helm we will never have a situation like we saw last night with New Orleans, where the team was fighting with itself. As long as David west is yelling at Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler is yelling at everybody that team will never win anything improtant, but when you have an effortless leader like Roy who can SELFLESSLY gather the team back together and get everyone back on the same page, HE can lead you to a championship!

...And One
In Roy We Trust
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of Blazers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother
I heard that too
- You made the field goal
- You got fouled (and made the free throw)
- A whiny baby
- An idiot

Roy does the same thing..
yelling "hey" and "and 1"
On the street, probably 99% of the time you hear that term it doesn't meet criteria 1 or 2. I'd guess it's an idiotic 2% that make up that 99%.
Is it kind of like
Joakim Noah?
Not coincidentally, what did his dad used to do?

I agree that yelling "and 1" is more
Its true that sometimes people make noises on the court when playing, but Roy yelling "hey!!" loud enough that I can hear it through the TV broadcast is not just an in game grunt or groan, he is trying to influence the refs into calling a foul, thats the same thing chandelor was doing but with different words. Its not dirty or whiny, its NBA basketball, lots of players do it.
Tyson becomes a baby because of all his post play bickering at the refs. If Roy doesnt get a call, he just plays on. thats the major difference in my opinion.
My favorite version of this was Arvydas Sabonis.

Blazers/Hornets contrast
All praise to KP. Whitsitt didn't believe in chemistry or character. KP knows better, and we're already seeing the results.
Something else: the Blazers' commitment also shows in their conditioning. Despite the Blazers playing a back-to-back, it was the Hornets who looked tired down the stretch last night.
I wonder where Whitsitt
