Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Chris Ballard illustrates that, statistically speaking, Brandon Roy is "remarkably well-balanced"

From his book The Art of a Beautiful Game:

Tonight's [scouting report] provides an in-depth breakdown of Roy, who is an especially tough matchup for Battier.  Unlike many NBA players, who have obvious preferences and known weaknesses, Roy is remarkably well-balanced as a player.  He is equally effective going left (scoring .91 points per possession) and going right (.92), though he shows a slight preference for driving left (54% of the time to 46% of the time).

Brandon is also remarkably good looking

And according to this he goes both ways. Hooray!

The only

thing keeping him from Wade/Kobe levels on offense is a jumper. He’s got to put more work into his shooting

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
