Brandon Roy Tells Blazers to Stop Monitoring His Minutes brandon roy, Nate McMillan, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA Injuries, NBA RumorsPHOENIX -- About a month ago, Brandon Roy seemed resigned to the fact that his body would no longer allow him to do certain things. He was all about restricting his minutes, telling The Oregonian, "The biggest thing is if we can limit the minutes I can be more explosive instead of trying to run along for 40 minutes. That's maybe just too much time." How quickly things change. Roy logged almost 41 minutes on Friday, and led all scorers with 26 points during his team's fourth straight victory, a 101-94 triumph ...

Andrew Bynum Will Play in Game 4 Andrew Bynum, brandon roy, goran dragic, phil jackson, Robin Lopez, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA Injuries, NBA PlayoffsPHOENIX -- There won't be an Andrew Bynum benching. Lakers coach Phil Jackson, after watching Bynum stagger through a two-point, two-rebound showing in eight foul-plagued minutes Sunday, said his center might miss some game time due to the torn meniscus in his right knee. But, after talking to Bynum on Monday, the coach said he has no plans now to sit him. "I was worried he was impinging his ability to play by concern about his health and his status, and he says he's OK,'' said Jackson, whose Lakers lost 118-109 Sunday to ...

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bucks, Cavaliers, Celtics, Hawks, Heat, Jazz, Lakers, Magic, Raptors, Spurs, Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA All-Star Game, NBA Awards Mere hours ago, I asked how the public was supposed to make sense of conflicting NBA honors, and how this state of emergency was good for the league or its players. Then, like clockwork, the 2010 All-NBA teams went out. Now, I am at the point of boiling. First, there's the tension between All-NBA and All-Star. The case for: the All-Star Game is mid-season, divided up by conference, and must contend with the totally cross-eyed fan voting. Big names ...

by Sam AmickFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA PlayoffsPORTLAND, Ore. -- It all came down to the sweater vs. the jacket. That was the decision at hand in the Roy household on Friday night, when Brandon was exchanging endless text messages with Portland coach Nate McMillan about whether he would play against Phoenix the following day and his fiancee, Tiana Bardwell, was waiting for the final word about her man's wardrobe. "We were trying to see if I should have him dress in a jacket or just a sweater because you have to have a jacket to sit on the bench," Bardwell ...

by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA PlayoffsPHOENIX -- Coming off Saturday's Game 4 loss in Portland that tied the series at 2-2, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry talked about the need to get his bench players more involved in the proceedings.

Blazers May Be Gone, but GM Kevin Pritchard Should Stay Andre Miller, brandon roy, Juwan Howard, kevin pritchard, marcus camby, Martell Webster, Paul Allen, Suns News, Tom Penn | (0)
by Sam AmickFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA PlayoffsPORTLAND, Ore. -- The dead man walking couldn't have looked more alive on Thursday night. Kevin Pritchard was being Kevin Pritchard again, the Portland general manager mingling on the Rose Garden floor while wondering like the rest of the Rip City residents whether his team had one last punch in store. True to their fighting form, they did. So spirited was their 99-90 loss to Phoenix that the home crowd stood until the end as if the outcome was reversed, an insurmountable deficit and the end to a torturously-terrific season greeted in the final seconds ...

Blazers Must Survive Last Stand in Rose Garden brandon roy, Channing Frye, Jared Dudley, marcus camby, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Matt MooreFiled under: Suns, Trail BlazersDid you hear? They officially renamed "Murphy's Law" -- "Blazers Law." As in, "Anyone that can get hurt, will get hurt." The Portland Trail Blazers have proven themselves to be the most resilient team in 2009-2010. They bounced back from losing their star center Greg Oden (again), only to find their backup, Joel Przybilla, go down in a heap next to him. They struggled through front office drama, the integration of Andre Miller and Brandon Roy's knee surgery just as they were headed into the playoffs on a hot streak. They've done anything and ...
