Everyone Wait ! The Cart Is Ahead of The Horse!!

Quick claims The Player has gone through a transformation.

However, we've known since the beginning of last year that Roy would be great, maybe not as soon as we all expected.  Okay, so Roy is taking steps to greatness, we can all agree on that.  But these are microsteps.

Defeating Phoenix, yes, is huge considering the context.  However, it's only one game.

Anyone who has been a fan of the Trailblazers for at least 10 years, will agree with this:  Following this team is like attending a Wedding on Friday and a Funeral on Saturday.

Roy gave us a wedding to celebrate this past week.  But folks, I warn you, the Funeral is ahead.

We still don't have a second chair violin, though we do have a few people trying-out for it.  Brandon Roy is doing a great job playing like Freddie Highmore who starred as Evan Taylor in August Rush.   However, what the directors of August Rush didn't show the audience was all the heartache and pain Evan Taylor and the others went through for the final performance.  And also, this story itself was a fairy tale.

We face Denver twice and Dallas ahead.  One thing we'll know at the end of the week is how long the wedding reception will be.

At the end, this is all somewhat like a fairy tale.  Until we have a 2nd fiddle, and consistency in other places, expect the highs to be high and the lows to be low.  This team, and Brandon, will be great when the Funerals turn into hospital visits.  Brandon has placed a camel on his back the past several games, but neither he nor the team are anywhere close to being given the noteriety of being mentioned with the top teams in the league or the top players.

If anything this shows, the gap between Brandon and the rest of the team is large.  Further, because of the size of the gap, the coaches need to realize there are some major pieces missing.  For as great Brandon is, the team is that much further behind.  When Steve bLAnk is your guy providing some second fiddle on different nights, things are not as great as they might seem.
