Time to shut Brandon Roy Down

The Playoffs are out of sight, and the fat lady is just about ready to sing on the Blazers season, let's face it, it's time to shut Brandon Roy down for the year and focus on getting the young guys on the Blazers roster some playing time. Lastnight Roy suffered a strained groin, an injury that if not treated correctly, could last six to eight weeks. It's not worth it...Brandon is our franchise, our leader. He's played game sick, tired, and hurt all season long. It's not worth it to put his body through wear and tear when we are not going to make the playoffs. I'm not saying tank the season. I'm saying, the Blazers need to be smart about the rest of their season.

I was at that game and got to see Caron Butler do his best Kobe impression on Roy. Just reached out as Roy went by and grabbed him with two hands. Roy was in the air at the time and he came down awkwardly. Needless to say, I was wicked pissed.

That sucks. I doubt he will sit down until they are mathmatically out.

He has to sit or he'll hurt it even more. It is the smart thing to do. The Blazers have a very talented young team, they'll be back next year.

Agreed.
Sit him, let Martell develop some confidence/trade value, and get ready to rule the world next year.

Probably a good idea. Travis, Martell, and Jarrett will have to step up to keep us above .500. That was a dirty play by Butler, and the ref pretended it didn't happen. What a joke.

Once again horrible dirty ass plays. Sit iRoy out, let him go into some type of Michael Jackson hyperbaric chamber or something, because damn is he hurt a lot.

It was brutal in person. I saw it too and the guy sitting next to me said ,"Oh god, he's gonna vomit. He got it GOOD in the nuts!" Poor Brandon - I hope he rests as long as he needs to come back strong next year.
