BR.O.Y. is back

And he's tearing it up already. 16 points 10 rebounds and 8 assists is a pretty good way to announce that you're back in the running for the Rookie of the Year award. Looks like I'll have to start updating the R.O.Y watch...

Brandon Roy commercials

So, stayin in Portland for the Thanksgiving weekend. I have been here a little more then 24 hours. I have seen 20 Brandon Roy commericals. SAVIOR!

<- look over there, it's the R.O.Y. Watch

Henry Abbot thought he was maybe the first person to state ROY=R.O.Y., but apparently some other dude did. Since we've only had a blog for like, less than two months and thus have no history to point to, I will not make any claims of predating their cleverness. Nor should I. Even if I am pretty sure I heard that somehwere long before the NBA draft, I have no proof to offer. I definitely did not come up with it on my own as I am a slow reader. It took me like 10 or 15 reps of Rrrr....Ooooo.....Y, Ruh....OYE, Ruh..OYE, RUH-OYE, ROY! before I felt comfortable saying his name off the cuff. In related news, I am very close to being able to tell which one of these things is not like the others, and which one of these things does not belong.

What I can say that is we are the first site that I know of to have an official "Brandon R.O.Y Watch", which tracks his progress over the course of the season. You may have already noticed it. It's that thingy on the left there that says "Brandon R.O.Y. Watch". Look for marginal craptastic improvements as I steal learn from other peoples html code.

Brandon Roy watch - Update!

We will be adding a Brandon Roy watch column to our blog here in the next couple of days. Through 3 games, Brandon is off to a fast start in the NBA, averaging 18.3 points per game, 5.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 38.3 minutes per game. Click here to view the rest of B-Roy's stats.

It will be interesting to see how Brandon holds up for an entire NBA season. He has already commented in the media about several games being a bit different then is used to. I think Nate needs to use him a bit less then 38 minutes a game, but that is just me. Interesting stat is that Roy has missed all 8 three pointers he has taken this year, and is only shooting 38.3% from the field.

Here is an article from opening night as Roy shined in Seattle.

Roy for ROY

Well, it is appearent that taking Sheldon Williams at pick 5 could be the worst move ever looking at the stat line of Brandon Roy last night.

Brandon Roy 35 minutes, 10-16 shooting, 20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists

Here a look at other rookies this year in the debut games in the regular season.

Shelden Williams 16 minutes, 0-2 shooting, 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block
Adam Morrison 32 minutes, 5-13 shooting, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists - Buzzer beater end of 1st.
Tyrus Thomas 16 minutes, 4 points, 5 boards.
Rajon Rondo - 23 minutes 2-6 shooting, 6 point, 4 rebounds, 3 assists
Andrea Bargnani 9 minutes, 2 points

Roy for ROY, oh yeah, he got a "W" against his hometown Sonics too!

Washington Alumni, doing the Romar system justice!

BRoy - In Seatlle with a Win!

BROYYYYYY! Wow, BRoy was at Key Arena last Friday for the Sonics-Blazers exhibition game. So, Pat and I attended Key Arena last Friday drunk as a homeless man in the U-District. Everytime that BRoy scored, we went nuts, and the people around us were SERIOUSLY pissed at our cheering. ROMAR WAS THERE TOO! They put him on the big screen and I went nuts! I HEART ROMAR!
