I've made a huge discovery. You can gain a ton of insight about a situation based on who takes a particular side. I read that Troy Aikman was heavily in favor of the Cowboys cutting Terrel Owens. I've heard others who've expressed dissatisfaction with the move. I have a ton of respect for Aikman's opinion. This was a guy who made the Hall of Fame despite some pedesetrian statistics because he was a winner, a leader, a class act and the consummate team first quarterback. He was greatness walking. Owens is a selfish, crybaby D-bag who has the maturity level of a 9 year old. Hooray for Troy Aikman.
What a huge win for the Trailblazers last night! Brandon Roy is the man. Remember, he, Alridge, Oden, pretty much the entire roster are playing their most important games of their careers. Brandon saw his team on the brink of losing a critical game and simply willed Portland to victory. He uses his quickness & physicality to get to the bucket at crunch time as well as anyone in the league, except maybe Lebron or Kobe. One of the reasons the Spurs won't make a big move in the playoffs is because Manu Ginnobli is done for the year. As great as Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are, Manu is their Brandon Roy. The guy capable of creating his own big shot. So with Houston winning a big one last night against the Magic, the Blazers remain a half game behind in that race for the critical 4th seed in the West, heading for San Antonio this evening. I've said it a bunch of times, but this race for playoff positioning followed by the playoffs is going to be a heck of a ride for NBA fans. Enjoy it!
