Or better? Wouldn't other teams figure out how to defeat this 1-dimensional offense? Don't get me wrong...I totally respect BRoy and his talents. But I always thought it was a little strange, back in the off-season of 2007 after his rookie season, how much KP was touting him. "Brandon's this...Brandon's that...he's so humble...he's a superstar...I'm going to plaster his face on every billboard in PDX...blahblahblah." I've never seen a GM blow that much smoke up a player's a$$ before. Weird. At that point, he had shown some flashes of brilliance, but he hadn't really earned all the accolades IMO. It was kind of as if he had reached superstardom because KP had declared it so. I think what KP was trying to do was put a new, good, face on the franchise, after all the Jailblazer crap. But I wonder if Brandon received the wrong message from all of this, prematurely, and if he NOW has to go back and relearn the team concept that he should have learned, and EARNED, back then. I dunno...just something that has stuck in the back of my mind the last few years.

Were trying to establish low post offense as well as integrate a proven playmaker in Miller. The team is in transition and thus so is Roy. Kobe Bryant went through similar frustrations just a few short seasons ago. He resisted at first, the notion of utlizing other teamates as a way to generate consistent scoring. Kobe struggled at first, but eventually saw by spreading the ball around it not only made the team better but also made his opportunities easier. It seems to have worked cause now they are a team of champions. I agree with Dwight on this big time. If Roy can remain patient with this process, not only will his opportunities be easier, but as a team we will become better and thus able to go far into the playoffs... who knows maybe even a championship one day Right now it is a big experiment out there.

The team won 54 games last year and made the playoffs for the first time in a bazillion years by putting the ball into his hands. As the team's leader he should question whether or not it is wise to put the ball into another players hands. He knows that the team will have success when he's in control and it has yet to be determined whether or not the team will have success without it.

BRANDON YOU B**TARD I NEVER LIKED YOU TRADE MILLER FIRE NATE You guys are unbelievable. Way to frickin melt down in the first two weeks of the season. More accurately, way to manage your own expectations of this team's fortunes. What th- only one game out of first place in the division, above .500 and on a three-game winning streak?
