Oh no Seattle’s own Brandon Roy is speaking his feelings about things in nearby Portland. Why? It is because P-Town head coach and “Mr. Sonic” former player and head coach of our departed Seattle Sonics, Nate McMillan only played B-Roy eight minutes in game two of the playoffs which was a loss to Dallas.

Roy wanted to play more and wanted to help his team more. I guess Nate saw something in Roy that he did not like in Roy’s eight minutes on the floor.

While Roy was on the floor, most of the time he was guarding his childhood friend from Seattle, Jason “The Jet” Terry. Roy went to Garfield High School here in Seattle and Terry went to Franklin High here in Seattle.

I think Coach Nate saw that Terry was just driving right past Roy during his time on the floor. Terry and Roy know each others game having grew up playing ball together in the innner city of Seattle as kids. Anyway Coach Nate made a choice to play other players and not Roy.

Truth be told the Brandon Roy situation is truly sad. Because Roy’s knees are shot. He is a shell of the almost superstar Brandon Roy. He just cannot cut and cannot jump like the “old” Roy. It is real sad.

Before the season started, Roy said to the media, including myself that he wanted a bigger role in the offense of Portland and wanted the ball in his hands more. Some took this as a shot at point guard Andre Miller. This did not sit well with a lot of Portland fans.

Now Roy speaks out again on his role with Portland. Let’s see how Coach Nate and Roy handles Roy speaking out again in the media. Gordon Curvey
