Emery and I went to the Blazers/Hornets game Friday night. The night before, New Orleans had played the Jazz in SLC and won the game with a James Posey (in this pic in the yellow headband) buzzer-beater trey. Portland played a descent game, and it was great to see Brandon Roy so dominant. He had 25-ish points and 10 assists. On a night-by-night basis, he is simply doing what he needs to do in orderto contribute to the win. The dude is effective. Byron Scott was quoted that opposing coaches now look at Roy as an elite player, preparing for him similarly as they do for LeBron, Kobe and D-Wade. Those are the names Scott used. Wow. The team is 7-0 at the Rose Garden so far this year. It's a great game venue. The city has embraced the team and it is a blast just to watch them operate while feeding on the energy of the home crowd. Emery was in to it as well. It's fun to see them growing up and starting to "get it" during sporting events.
