New praise for Roy from SI.com

So we here in Portland obviously realize the greatness that is Brandon Roy, as the MVP chants last night clearly showed.  Well, looks like someone else is getting in on the act.  In Jack McCallum's Inside the NBA column on SI.com, he has a Christmas Wish List for each team in the league, and here is his Blazers entry:

"Portland Trail Blazers -- Whatever the opposite of a reality check is for Brandon Roy, get him that. He doesn't need to wake up. He needs to keep playing the way he's playing, which, during this improbable Blazers winning streak, is like the best player in the league."

That's right: "Playing like the best player in the league."  I guess that even if NBA.com and SportsCenter don't deem his MJ imitation worthy of Top 10 Play status, at least someone has figured out that Roy belongs with the league's elite.  Anybody have David Thorpe's e-mail?

Jack on the play:
Added Jack: "If that's not on ESPN's top-10 plays, something is wrong. Call Stuart Scott, or whoever, and tell him if that's not in the top 10, we are coming to take over the show. Tell them we are coming to Bristol, and we are bringing Al Sharpton with us."

Better get on the horn then
I watched after getting home from the game last night and when it counted down to 2 and it still wasn't shown... I was cheering because I figured it must have been #1 then, but nope, wasn't even on the list.

Time Zones
I watched SportsCenter too but I am chalking not making into the Top 10 to it being a late game. There weren't any highlights of the game either until today. Roy will get his when he makes the All-Star game.

What he said.  I started to reply and then got sidetracked with my job.  Otherwise, I just would have said, "yup" to this reply.

You crazy guys
West coast teams don't make the top 10 unless they play an early game.  I think the top 10 gets made around 8:00 PM PST and they don't revise it no matter what happens.
